Torture

chapter eighteen

Breathtaking, was the only word to describe the dress. It wasn't as Royal like as I expected, but quite prefered that. I loved it and would wear these kind of dresses forever if I could. My hair was curled with the front pieces clipped back and a chain carefully placed on top of my head.

The dress itself was red, tight with off shoulders and a trail behind. It was simple, but beautiful. I had walked down the stairs being last one to be ready, everyone already waiting for me. I locked onto to Nathaniels eyes who's been lustfully staring at me, taking my body in.

"stunning." He simply said taking my hand, pulling me close to lead me out to the car which would take us to the celebration.

I got an eery feeling that something was off, something strange was going to happen but I brushed it off thinking perhaps it was just my nervousness. The mating ceremony had some pack members present but this time it would be the entire village, resulting in hundreds of people.

I could hear the cheers and voices all around us, my stomach twisting in knots making me squirm in my seat. Nate seemed to noticed and placed he's hand on top of mine, tightly squeezing it for comfort. And it did comfort me, the spark shot up my arms sending heat throughout my body immediately relaxing.

"Just follow me lead, everything will be perfect." I nodded before watching Nathaniel step out to smile and wave at them.

Even though he was cold hearted and most time didn't care, he was good to he's people and took good care of them like they deserved. He nodded at me reaching out he's hand to me which I happily accepted, grasping a handful of my dress so I wouldn't fall. Louder cheers erupted when I came into view, I widely smiled at the people who stood before me.

It was a bit of a shock at first seeing the amount of people who came to see us today, waving at us and clapping as we made our way up to the stage. I felt a pair of eyes burning the back of head which was strange as everybody was staring at us, but this was different.

I turned around to quickly scan who is was coming from but no luck, perhaps I was just imagining it ?

"Thank you to everyone for coming today, it's very nice to see so much people here. I would like to announce that the wedding will be just in two weeks time." Cheers erupted, Nathaniels hand wrapped around my waist pulling me close to him, my hand resting on her torso.

I smiled widely looking at every person attempting to catch the one whos stares I felt, somebody who was out of place. I looked up at Nate who was already staring, I smiled sweetly at him feeling him inch closer to me. I stood on my tiptoes snaking my arm around he's waist, pulling him closer to me pressing my lips against he's.

Our kisses were rare but once I got a taste of he's lips, it was something I craved everyday demanding more and more. I seemed to have forgotten the people standing before us Until I got sucked back into reality, both of us turning back to them before my eyes locked onto somebody else's.

I froze, my heart suddenly dropping down my stomach my breathing immediately stopping. My mouth parted distancing myself a bit from Nathaniel, my hand resting on the stone railing leaning my body against it.

"Maya.."
