Mated at First Sight: Seduced and Savored by the Twin Alphas Novel – Wedding Impossible “She’s an angel.” “That dress was made for her alone. So slim and elegant…” “I wish I had subtle curves like that. Why does she have to be pretty, slender and smart at the same time? She got a degree from Castlebridge at nineteen!” “She’s hollowborn. How can a prominent family allow their only son marry someone like her?” “I hear the moon goddess cursed her at birth. No wolf spirit would bound to her ever since.” “Shush…it’s her wedding day.
At least try to be happy for her. She’s such a saintly girl. I hope my own daughter gets to snag a handsome specimen like she has.” Despite how much Audrey tried to suppress a smile, her lips still twitched from the happiness bubbling up inside her. Yes, it was her wedding day. Her eternal union to the most handsome, kindest and esteemed man in the world. Her knight in shining armor. Her prince charming. She ambled down the aisle, dragging each step to match the crescendo of the temple’s orchestra.
She felt the weight of a hundred eyes. Few were happy. Some envious. Most shocked. Audrey Holland did not care. Her eyes, green and covered with contacts instead of the huge glasses she normally wore, remained fixed on her man. Nickolas looked breathtaking always, but in a smart black suit and his dark hair all curled up like that, he was heartstopping. He gazed at her too, the only person who existed in his world. Finally she reached the altar. Nick grinned down at her as he took her hand. He stood tall and welcoming before her, his face achingly entranced by whatever he could see.
The sound of music faded into the background, the cheers of the crowd a faint murmur in the distance, everything got pushed aside, as Audrey placed her head against his chest. “You are lovely, Audrey.” His deep voice resonated through her, causing her heart to explode with warmth. She smiled too, her joy knowing no bounds. “Thank you, my love. As for the dress, aunt Marrisa deserves all compliments.” “It has nothing to do with the dress.” Placing a finger under her delicate chin, he tilted her face up so their eyes could lock on each other. “I mean you.
Not the dress, though it’s quite captivating. Not your hair, though for once you found some way to tame it a bit.” They chuckled before he went on. “No, you are lovely.” The flutter in her heart travelled all over her body, threatening to lift her up in one powerful outburst of wings and wishes. How could a man like Nickolas be hers alone? If this were a dream, she hoped it would never end. Hand in hand, they continued the rest of the way up the altar. The priest, a fatherly old man with a knowing grin spread over his face, glanced at both of them in turn. “I thought you two would get to the ‘kiss the bride’ part even before we started.” Though her face flushed beet red, she smiled sheepishly, not missing the happiness on her groom’s face too.
Nick, ever the gentleman, apologized to the priest. “I’m sorry for the brief delay, father Reynolds.” Father Reynolds waved it away. “Ah, it gives me joy to see a couple so attuned to each other climb the steps up the altar to say their vows. We don’t get that often. Now, let’s begin.” He said the last part loud enough for everyone in the temple to hear, causing them to chuckle in their seats. Everyone who mattered, human and werewolf alike, in Frostone was here. All thanks to Nick’s status in the city as a capable lawyer who represented the Frostone werewolves in different legal capacities.
As for Audrey, she had just her aunt Marissa as her relative. The others were friends she made at Castlebridge university. Two of them, actually. Though most faces were not familiar she was grateful to see them. Father Reynolds cleared his throat and continued. “We are gathered here today, before God, man and wolves, to witness the union of love and destinies of Nickolas Lannister and Audrey Holland, a werewolf of the Frostone wolf pack and a young woman born and bred in Frostone city.” Audrey’s eyes were fixed on Nick’s, staring into the brown pupils ringed with gold, a gold that came to life when he transformed.
He had been upfront and honest about his status in the Frostone pack from the beginning.
