"Brother!" Alana smiled, holding her skirts of her light blue dress as she made her way down the stairs into the main courtyard. Cregan Stark helped his lady wife Arra Norrey who was three moons pregnant out of the carriage.
"Sister." Cregan nodded, a servant closing the carriage door behind them as the pair made their way over to Alana.
"How was your journey?" Alana questioned, straightening her dress out.
"It was fine." Cregan scratched his short stubble beard, looking up at the Red Keep. "Still stinks like horse shit here."
"Yes, something that you have to get used to, I suppose." Alana smiled before looking at Arra Norrey seeing as her brother seemed disinterested. "How is my niece or nephew? No complications?"
"None, yet." Arra smiled, rubbing her slight bump on her stomach.
"Good." Alana smiled, before looking at her brother, he never really liked Kings's Landing.

"Do you really believe Cregan Stark will bend the knee to us when the time comes?" Alicent asked her father, her nails digging into her palm. They were both sat in the Hand's Tower.
Otto Hightower sighed, and nodded. "House Stark will always put their family first, and Alana is Cregan Starks only close family besides his lady wife."
"House Stark already bent the knee when Rhaenyra was named heir, they will-" Alicent began to speak but was interrupted by her father.
"Lord Rickon Stark bent the knee, not Cregan Stark" The hand said, clenching his hands. "Now daughter, you need to get Alana on our side when the time is right. You know that if Rhaenyra becomes queen, she'll cut off anyone who she thinks will challenge her succession. Including Alana and Aegon's future children."
Alicent looked at her father, her mouth slightly agape but nodded. "Of course father."

Alana sat her in her bath, Lysara washing her hair with soaps. As the sun got more in the middle of the sky the more Alana thought of her wedding. The whole event was two days, today which was the wedding ceremony, and the huge feast. The second day was the tourney.
"Do you know if the Princess Rhaenyra is coming?" Alana asked, as she finished with her bath.
"I believe so, I heard the King wanted her and her children to come but I believe only The Princess and her husband Prince Daemon are coming." Lysara said, helping Alana come out of the bath, drying her off with a towel.
"The Rouge Prince? I better not come near, I hear he has a fondness of marrying woman who are much younger than him." Alana chuckled, Lysara looking at the woman with her mouth slightly open. "I apologize, I should keep my mouth at bay or i'll be dead by dawn."
Lysara shook her head, grabbing the lavenders oils for Alana, and put it on her arms and legs. "How many people do you think will be there?"
"A lot my lady, I do not think there has been lots of Starks marrying Targaryens." Lysara said, now brushing Alana's slightly wet hair.
"Now that you speak of it, I do not think i've ever heard such a thing before." Alana spoke.
There was a few minutes of silence, Alana in her own mind thinking about the wedding until Lysara brought over Alana dress, it was white and grey, House Stark colors and it was off the shoulder perfect for the summer heat of Kings Landing.

Alana breathed in and out, in a few minutes her and a Drunken Prince would be bound forever. The large doors opened and her breath caught her throat. Now her fate was chosen by the Gods. She stepped down the stairs, the mid-day sun was shining through the Sept of Baelor.
She held her breath as she walked down the hall of the sept, she looked upwards towards the Septon and saw Aegon who was looking down at his feet. He looked better than the last time she saw him, he wore a green tunic, black trousers and boots, but he still had the slight sway when he stood.
She walked up the stairs to where Aegon and the Septon were standing, Alana's heels clicked on the ground as silence filled room. She then stood infront of Aegon and looked at the Septon.
"You may cloak the bride and bring her under your protection." The Septon said, handing Aegon the cloak who took it.
Alana turned her back towards Aegon and he put the heavy cloak on her, before both of them looked back at the Septon.
"Your graces." The Septon bowed his head at King Viserys who was sitting and Alicent who stood next to Helaena, Aemond, and Daeron. Rhaenyra and Daemon stood behind them, Daemon who seemed uninterested and Rhaenyra who had a neutral face, her hands fidgeting with her rings. On the other side of the hall stood Cregan Stark and his wife Arra Norrey, both looking at Alana.
"My lords and Ladies, we stand here in the sight of Gods and Men to witness the union of Man and Wife. One flesh, One heart, One soul." The Septon nodded at the Aegon and Alana.
The Septon then held out a ribbon, Alana and Aegon both held out one hand to which the Septon tied the ribbon around their hand.
"You may now say the words." The septon nodded before Alana and Aegon both looked at each other. Alana noticed that Aegon had dark eyebags under his eyes, but his violet eyes outshined it.
"Father, Smith, Warrior, Mother, Maiden, Crone, Stranger." They both said together.
"I am his, and he is mine from this day until the end of my days."
"I am hers, and she is mine from this day until the end of my days."
"Let it be known that Alana of the House's Stark and Glover and Aegon of the House's Targaryen and Hightower are one heart, one flesh, one soul, cursed be he who would seek to rip them apart." The Septon spoke, his words echoing off the walls of the Sept.
"With that kiss, together you may pledge your love to one another." The Septon nodded at the both of them, as Aegon put his free hand on her cheek and bent down and kissed her before pulling back and looking at Alana. The Lords and Ladies in the Sept all applauded.
Now they were bound forever.
