The Protector(Editing)

Ch. 11

(Loki's POV)
I waited for Luna to come back from Odin, and she still hasn't returned and it's been about an hour. I'm starting to stress out. I keep pacing around my chamber waiting for her to return. I waited for about two hours when I felt her presence close by. I turned to see her in tears at the door. "Love what's wrong?"
Luna looked at me with tears in her eyes.
"Odin doesn't want me to marry you, he wants me to marry Thor because he's going to be king."
"He can't do that, he gave you the option to choose who you want, you're my soulmate, we can't be separated."
'I told him that and he didn't believe me. He wants me to engage in Thor." I sat in silence as she began to cry. I went over to comfort her. How could Odin do this to me?
(Odin's POV)
Why would Luna chose Loki? He might be an Asgardian prince in her eyes, but in mine, he is the baby Jotun I found all of those years ago. She will marry Thor, my son, the heir to the throne of Asgard. Not some heir to a throne of ice and despair. Nobody will change my mind, and that is final.
(Loki's POV)
I grabbed her hand. "I promise you, Luna, that it will all work out.'
"I know, it just makes me mad that somebody in power won't listen even though they have all of the evidence pointing towards a certain conclusion."
"My father has never been the one to listen, so it was a good idea that you talked to mother about the whole ordeal." I felt tremble as I held her close. After a few hours, I heard a soft knock at the door. Luna had fallen asleep on top of me. "Who is it?'
"Loki, its Frigga."
"Please come in." Frigga opened the door to see Luna sleeping on my lap.
"I can see why you didn't come to the door. I spoke to Odin about your bond and he is furious, but he is willing to let you two court." I stared at my mother shocked. "I got a silver-tongue to go silent?"
"Thank you mother, you have no idea what this means to me." Frigga gave me a hug and departed from my chambers. I kissed Luna's head and muttered to myself, "Love everything is going to be okay, I promise."

Luna awoke the next morning in her bed. She remembered what had happened yesterday and broke down crying. She heard somebody into her chamber. "Love, are you okay?" She looked over to see Loki. She ran over to him and hugged him.
"Loki I don't know what to do. I want to be with you." Loki gently rubbed Luna's back.
"Love, mother sorted it out with father last night after you fell asleep. Odin is mad, but he can't stop us from being together." Luna looked up into Loki's eyes.
"So we can be together?"
"Yes love we can be together." Loki placed a gentle kiss on Luna's lips. "But you should be getting ready for the ceremony this afternoon. I'll have the maids help you get ready."
"Can you help me get ready?"
"Love I have to get ready to you know."
"Fine, but I have to see you before the ceremony starts."
"I'll see you then love." Loki kissed Luna's hand and departed from her room. Luna went and took a shower. When she came out she saw two maids in her room getting prepared to help Luna.
"Lady Stark, could you sit here please so that we might be able to do your hair and makeup?"
"Of course ma'am." Luna sat there for what felt like several hours when they finally took a step back and handed her a mirror. When she saw her reflection she didn't even recognize herself. She looked beautiful, her hair was pulled back into a beautiful braid that went into a high-pony. Her makeup was subtle, but it was just enough to enhance her beauty.
"Lady Stark, I think Loki will be enchanted by your beauty." Luna turned to face the maids.
"Thank you ma'am. Will you excuse me while I get ready."
"Of course Lady Stark." The maids began to leave.
"Wait before you go, I was wanting to let you know that you can call me Luna." The maid smiled at Luna.
"Of course Luna." Luna went to her wardrobe and saw a dress in a white bag when she opened it she saw a beautiful ocean blue dress. She saw a note attached to it. Darling, my mother was wanting you to wear this for your ceremony. I can't wait to see it on you. Love, Loki. Luna smiled at the note and looked back at the dress. She went, got changed, and looked at herself in the mirror. The dress fit her perfectly, the back was completely open, in the front it dipped low enough to tease but covered enough, and there was a long train behind her. She heard a knock at the door.
"Yes?"
"Prince Loki is waiting for you, ma'am."
"Thank you so much." Luna walked out of her chambers and went to his chambers. She knocked on the door, the door revealed Loki in his ceremonial armor. She felt Loki's eyes rake up and down her entire body trying to take her all in.
"You look stunning love."
"I could say the same thing about yourself." Loki smiled and took her arm.
"Come on love, all of Asgard is waiting for the Protector."
