Chapter 205: Shotgun Free Wedding
If Dominic hadn’t already figured out what was going on by the veil, the fact that the wedding march was playing as he approached the grand ballroom would have been more than enough.
By both Cygnia and Dagos tradition, the higher Ranking of the bride and groom was the one who waited at the altar.
In this case, it was the Princess.
{Good luck. You don’t have any family here that we know of, so you’ll have to walk alone down the aisle.} The butler whispered.
Dominic gave him a slight nod, and then strode confidently into the room.
He paused at the entrance to the aisle. There was one Wavemates tradition that he didn’t want to skip.
Traditionally, when the bride and groom first saw each other on the wedding day, the Groom would roar in approval, signifying his wholehearted acceptance of the bond. But Wavemates weddings didn’t have wedding vows like Cygnia or Dagos weddings did.
Tilting his head back slightly, Dominic felt the muscles in his throat shift, and he gave a full throated roar. Not the human approximation, a proper draconic roar that shook the decorations hung around the room.
The room fell silent at the noise, and then the soldiers lined up along the walls began to bang their ceremonial spears on their shields. The military version of applause as Dominic began taking slow, even strides down the aisle.
Princess Alexis shifted uneasily as Dominic stalked toward her. That roar didn’t sound like approval to her. It sounded like need, and the heat that it lit within her body was making it increasingly difficult to stand still and wait for him to make his way to the altar.
Those slow, regal strides should have made him look like the Prince he was born to be, stiff backed and shoulders back in perfect posture.
But the swaying of his hips, and the way that his eyes were locked on her behind his veil, were the confident stride of a predator stalking prey that has nowhere left to flee.
