Wedding To Werewolf

Chapter 8: Wedding

Rei saw Olivia approaching the woods. She looked devastated. Her eyes were swollen and her head hung down.

He wondered if he should console her or give her space. He decided on the later, and walked behind Olivia quietly all the way to home.

Olivia wasn't taking it too well. She had resorted to skipping meals, keeping her silence and crying all night.

Rei's words to sympathise with her fell on deaf ears. He could no longer bear to see Livy so disarrayed.

He wished he could give Livy some more time to grieve, but matters of making her a breeder was getting persistent. It was time for the wedding to take place.

That evening Rei came to the room with a wedding gown.

"Wear this tomorrow for the wedding." 

"I am not getting married to you." Olivia got angry at the sight of gown. The gown reminded her of her wedding, Danny and all the things in life she lost. All because of Rei, she thought angrily.

"It's either you marry with me, or become a breeder to carry pups for wolves throughout your fertile life." Rei felt that an ultimatum was much needed.

Hot tears stung her eyes as she glared at Rei. "I hate you."

Wedding Day

Olivia wore the gown that morning. She looked at the mirror, she looked fine even without putting an inch of effort on her look. She didn't care anymore. She was already doomed.

The wedding gown was simple and surprisingly fitted with very well. She wondered how Rei knew her size.

As she was examining herself from head to toe in the mirror, the sight of her face caught her. She looked tired. Her eyes were still little swollen. Her face looked thin. And her neck had a bruise..?

It was a big blue bruise. She never noticed that before. She checked for others and did find some smaller ones on her legs, but this one seemed different. She pressed the bruise and found it stinging, but otherwise she felt nothing. She brought her hair at front and managed to hide it.

As Olivia stood on the platform next to Rei, she noticed that there were many guests at the wedding. She wondered if all of them were werewolves. They looked too human, no one could ever tell them apart.

Olivia was deep in her thoughts of her wedding with Danny, during the ceremony. She was finally getting married but it was nothing what she had dreamt of. She felt a nudge from Rei, and looked up to find concerned eyes of the priest.

"Do you take this man to be your husband?" repeated priest for the third time.

Livy was hesitant. NO. She didn't want to take Rei as her husband. She hoped dearly for someone to crash the door and save her at that moment. Eyes were upon her- Rei's, priest's and other's. With no one to save her, she said, "I do."

"With power vested in me, I, now pronounce you husband and wife." Priest declared.

Olivia sighed. She had just signed off her life.

Rei's hand came towards her face. She jerked back. He didn't think she would kiss him, did he? Olivia was furious. Rei should know there is another thing coming, she thought.

"I may have married but this," her eyes moved back and forth between her and Rei, "doesn't changes."

But, Rei gently moved her hair back for the bruise to show. And she felt the eyes of everyone in the hall at her bruise. Are they really looking at her bruise? She wouldn't know.
