Fallen Wolf

Chapter 12 - Ceremony

Chapter 12 – ceremony

Delilah walked around the beautiful garden after talking to Megan. They had had a nice time talking and laughing. Then Megan left having some kind of pack duty which her brother had mind-linked about.  Delilah smelled each flower and ran her hand through each plant and grass soon she got tired. The human body tires so quickly and also dehydrated. She needed to keep eating and drinking all the time. She couldn’t even have enough moments on her own. Delilah thought irritated and walked out of the garden.

As she stepped into the corridor she stopped and stared. There was a lot of hustle inside the house and she never realized being so completely entranced by the flowers. People were running around shouting out things and carrying stuff. Delilah shook herself out of the stupor and started walking towards her room.

People kept bumping into her and apologizing as she made her way up to her room. She saw the door to her room and increased her pace. She reached her door opened it and closed the door behind her and let out a huge sigh of relief.

She smiled and turned around expecting to find the room empty but there were two maids standing in the middle of the room looking at Delilah expectantly.

“Ummm….do you want something?” Delilah asked moving away from the door.

“Yes Luna! We have to get you ready…..the ceremony will start in an hour.” The first maid told her and ushered her forward. And Luna, why were they calling her Luna? She wasn’t Zach’s mate and what ceremony?

Delilah was dragged and made to sit on the chair facing the mirror.

“what ceremony?” she asked hoping they will answer her,

“Luna we don’t have time to talk about the ceremony. We have to get you ready. The alpha will be very angry if everything does not happen on time.” The maid said and started unclipping her hair and let the long mass of black hair fall freely.

Maybe it was some kind of ritual the whole pack must attend Delilah thought. And they had mistaken her for the Luna because she stayed in Zach’s room. Happy with her conclusion she let them do whatever they wanted with her hair and face.

Her hair looked beautiful. They had put it up in a pretty French twist with a few strands of hair peeking out from the back so it didn’t look very severe. They had a beautiful hair pin with a wolf paw wrapped around a red ruby. They tucked the hairpin neatly inside her French twist. They kept her make up very light and just did her eyes. After they finished they let Delilah look into the mirror and she was shocked at the transformation. She looked wonderful. She touched her hair lightly and kept staring at herself.

“Now Luna, you must put on your dress.” The maid said and made Delilah stand. Delilah closed her eyes and let them put the dress over her head. After they finish they made her turn towards the full length mirror and she gasped.

It was the same dress she had worn in Megan’s boutique. The one which Zach had forced her to remove and put it away. Why were they giving it to her now? Delilah wondered. What if Zach got angry again seeing her in this dress? Will he humiliate her in front of all of them?

Before Delilah could process all her thoughts the maids ushered out and down the hall to the courtyard outside.

All the pack members were present. Delilah looked on in surprise not knowing what was in store for her. She walked forward and everyone moved away. At the end she could see Zach standing in a suit. She didn’t understand what was going on. They pushed her forward and she walked. It looked like how people walked down the aisle when they are getting married.

“Why am I here Zach?” Delilah asked in a hushed whisper.

“We are getting married.” Zach stated and stared straight ahead.

“We are what?” Delilah exclaimed and took a step back.

“No no this cannot be happening. I won’t marry you.” She said and tried to move back.

Zach caught hold of her arm and fixed her to his side.

“This is not up for discussion. We are getting married and you have no say in this matter and this is to protect you.” Zach said rigidly.

“You can’t force me into a marriage. This is not right, please just let me go I don’t want to marry you.” Delilah said feeling helpless. She didn’t know anybody here to ask for their help. She didn’t want to get married. Why was this happening to her!

Delilah tried to shake of his hand and move backwards, when Zach suddenly swung her in front of him and held her still and bared her neck towards him. she started to struggle.

“I’m claiming you as my mate, you will be under my protection and command for all eternity, I will cherish you and keep you happy. We are mates till the day you and I take our last breath.” Zach said and bit into her neck.
