Chapter 112
Caged Between the beta & alpha
A ROYAL WEDDING RAVEN The wedding of the decade had arrived , and guests from all corners of the country were teeming into the kingâs territory for the occasion . Women in glamourous gowns from the latest designers , and men in custom â tailored suits and tuxes , were pouring into the grand open grounds below . My heart was racing as I stared out of the huge windows at the stunning , breath â
taking view down below . It was magical .
To the left was the table set for the reception dinner , decorated impressively . More guests would arrive later for the reception . Round tables were covered in blush â coloured tablecloths with matching chairs , garlands of ivory flowers and ribbons of white fabric creating a roof above . To the far side were the dance floor and the cake . Right ahead to the right was the aisle , with a carpet of the palest shades of pink and white roses leading from the entrance of the mansion all the way up to the dais , where they would take their vows .
Above i t , ribbons of white fabric were draped like a roof above the seats for the guest . Glass tables at the edge of the rows held vases o f pale pink roses and garlands of green vines dangled from the ceiling , similarly t o the eating area with chandeliers glittering in the centre . To the side was the string quartet who would be playing the music for the ceremony . Magical .
â Itâs perfect Kia . â I murmured in awe , turning to the queen herself . The beautician was finishing off her elegant bridal up â do , making sure every wave of her hair was in the perfect position . A few strands framed her face and she finished b y adding the floral hair vine to Kiaraâs bun , before pinning her veil in . Kiara smiled at me . Her face glowing radiantly , she wore an ivory one â sleeved embroidered dress that was decorated with pearls.
It was a mermaid cut gown with a huge skirt that had a large trail , with the same embroidered work on it on top of the dress . She wore pearl earrings , but apart from that , her only jewellery was her engagement ring â You look beautiful . â I complimented . She truly did . â Thank you , itâs really weird that Iâm nervous , although Iâm already Luna and w e are already mated . â She said , when the beautician left , leaving us alone . I smiled softly as I walked over to her . â Itâs still a new step . â I said taking her hand , as I crouched down before her , her acrylic nude nails looked as perfect as the rest of her with those glittery tips .
â Thanks . â She smiled . â You look â 1 gorgeous . â Thank you . â I replied , my heart fluttering as I wondered what Liam would think . I had been with Kia since morning and I missed him . I was wearing an olive â green , metallic , halter neck dress , with a slit down the centre from the collar to my waist . It was fitted up to the knees and then flared out with crystal detailing around the bodice , neckline and waist . My back was bare , save for the tattoo of Liamâs name on the left side of my back , which I had gotten recently .
My hair tips were now dyed a deep mauve pink and were up in an elegant up â do with olive green flowers in it . My eye makeup was dramatic with nude lips , and I wore high pencil heels on my feet . â
Itâs time . â Uncle Elâs voice came . We both turned to see him , Aunty Red , Liam , and Azura standing there . My heart skipped a beat when my eyes landed on Liam in a stone â coloured suit with an open button olive green : shirt underneath .
His hair was styled to perfection , a single strand flicking over his forehead , and that scar of his made him look even sexier as his blazing cobalt eyes were set on me . Goddess , he was so handsome â¦
The urge to go over and run m y hand down his chest that was teasing m e from those open buttons was strong and I had to fight it . I swallowed hard , my core clenching , the urge to move closer to him and kiss him tempted me , but this was Kiaâs day . â Fuck , Love ⦠â Liamâs voice came through the link . â Yeah ⦠same â¦
You look beyond sexy , blue eyes . His intense gaze was making me a little light â headed , as he undressed me with his eyes , and I had to blink to remember where we were . â She looks amazing , right ? â I asked , looking down at my glowing queen , my heart thundering . â â She does . â Uncle El agreed . â As do you . â They walked over to us as Azura stared at Kiara with pure awe on her face .
She herself looked gorgeous , like Kiaraâs twins . She was in a blush â coloured gown with a trail and some lacework . Pearl buttons going up the back with a bow at the back . â You look bootiful Kiawa .
â She said , wrapping her arms around her . â Thank you , sweetheart . â Kiara kissed her forehead , smiling at her before I whistled . â And you , Zuzu , are going to steal the hearts of all the little boys out there . â â I should hope not . â Uncle El said , frowning slightly . â I keep forgetting that Iâm going to have to give her away too â¦
â a â Oh baby , not today . â Aunty Red replied , kissing him . She wore a duck egg coloured , net embroidered gown with a tulle net skirt , a slit up to her thigh and one ruched sleeve . Uncle El wore a grey pinstripe suit with a white shirt and black tie , looking almost as handsome as his son , yet was it bad that Liam took sexy to an entirely new level ?
Liam walked over to us , pulling me into his arms and cupping the back of my neck as he kissed me deeply . His tongue slipped into my mouth , my core clenching as his hand grabbed my ass . Our lips caressing the others , he nibbled on my bottom lip before he broke away , pressing his forehead to mine , his aura swirling around us . I closed my eyes catching my breath , knowing if we continued the entire room will smell my arousal and probably see his hard â on ..
. â Naughty Wiyam . â Azura giggled as she twirled around in front of the floor length mirror . I smiled , pulling away and noticing how Uncle El was holding Kiara tightly in his arms . A fatherâs love , something I didnât have from my own father , but I got enough from Uncle El . I didnât feel like I was missing out because I had people who loved me . â You look beautiful Kia . â Liam said , making Kiara smile . â Thanks , Liam . â She said as he hugged her tightly .
â Iâm sure Alejandro is going to love it . â Aunty Red replied . â Well , we should get going , itâs almost time . â â Iâm ready ! â Azura exclaimed . She was going to be the little flower girl , whilst Dante was the ring bearer . The twins were far too small for the job . I was Kiaraâs maid of honour , but she had allowed me to choose my own clothing and hadnât set a theme for me . I loved this girl as I couldnât really see myself wearing blush pink . Liam kissed me once more as we all headed downstairs . He and Aunty Red headed out first , and we would wait until it was our time . RAYHAN I looked down at my kitten , she looked breath â taking in her pale blue strapless sequined gown , with a silk layer clinging t o her arms , her wintery makeup and her gorgeous hair styled elegantly .
She looked like a winter queen and I was all for it . Her plush pink lips curled up in a tempting small smile , cupping my face before I leant down , claiming those lips in a deep kiss , the tingles of the spark spreading through me , waking the desire that she always set ablaze within me . â Del , we look great right ? Those women have nothing on us . â Raihana murmured , scanning the crowds as Chris pulled her close , kissing her . â You sure do . Wanna skip the occasion so I can admire you instead ?
â He whispered to her and I cocked a brow . â Really Chris , we just got here . â I remarked . I was coordinated with Delsanra in a pale blue suit with a navy shirt underneath , which I had left a few buttons open , and m y hair was down . Raihana was co â ordinated with Delsanra , yet at the same time was the opposite , in a golden mirrored dress , yet her silk top layer spread around her in a rather dramatic way . Yeah , she just needed a chance to dress up , her bronzed skin glowing under the sun and she reminded me of those golden trophies you won at some sports game or the Oscars or something .
A little too much ⦠but I wonât say that or sheâd skin me alive ⦠I smirked , ok she looked good in a very Raihana way , daring and just needing an excuse to show off , go all out , and be totally extra â¦
Despite being a Luna , she was still known as the Rossi princess . â Ooo Uncleâs there ! Come on Del , we need photos with him ! â She pulled out of Chris â hold , much to his disappointment . He was wearing black pants and a waistcoat with a black and gold blazer .
Him and Raihana really were made for one another â¦. We walked over to Uncle Al , who was standing there talking to Marcel and Mom . Mom was carrying Skyla whilst Kataleya was being picked up by Serena , Uncleâs Betaâs mate . Uncle looked good dressed in a black tux , his hands in his pockets as he nodded to something Mom was saying .
More than a year and a half had passed since Dad had left us , gone but never forgotten â¦.. Mom was doing ok , she has good days and bad days , but we were all trying to be there for her . â Uncle , Photos ! â Raihana said as she did a twirl . â How do I look ? â â Gorgeous , Iâm glad youâre fucking mated . â He remarked , frowning as he glanced around , as if making sure no one had their eyes on her . I smirked as Chris nodded in approval . â Yeah , donât worry about that . I take good care of her .
â He winked at Raihana , and I had to admit it still frustrated me at times . One of your best friends totally flirting with your sister all the damn time . Itâs awkward , mate or not , and these two were always ⦠handsy . â Pictures . â Uncle Al said with a nod as one of the photographers came over , Looking good spitfire , I can see you two have some theme or some shit going on . H â Thanks king burrito , Iâm glad you noticed . â Delsanra replied as uncle put his hands on both womenâs waists , glancing a t the camera . â So , what are you both trying to fucking b e , the moon and sun or some shit ?
â â Ooo I like that , I was thinking more winter and summer . â Raihana said pouting for the camera .
The photographer seemed a little nervous with the kingâs cold glare directed at her but she did her job as uncle just stood there perfectly stoic , and effortlessly handsome , whilst the girls posed . My eyes went to Delsanra , and I had to admit she was so fucking sexy ⦠She glanced at me , winking , and I was glad that little brat wasnât around . His . addiction to Delsanra was still ongoing .
Speaking of kids ⦠I glanced around , wondering where Leo was . â Marcel , is Leo not here ? â I asked . â He is , but Iâm not sure where . He hasnât even come to see Al . â He spaced a little and I knew he was mind linking someone , probably to ask them to tell Leo to come over . Leo ⦠He had changed over the last year or so , and I knew it was because of me , yet n o matter what I did he refused to talk to m e . â Call him , Iâll take some pictures with my nephews since Iâm already doing this crap .
â I â Uncle , you know we look good . â Raihana said with a pout . â You fucking do . â He hugged her , kissing her forehead . Since Dad had died , he had stepped in and been there for us all . He and Ri were really close , and I knew him being there had helped her as she had always been daddyâs girl .
For me too ⦠I looked away before I got emotional , Delsanra wrapped her arms around me , kissing my lips softly . She understood me even when I said nothing . I held her close , brushing my nose into her neck , enjoying the feel of her body against mine â¦.. Leo came over and the tension between us was thick . I had tried to explain things to him over Christmas , but he flat out refused to listen to me .
â What ? â He asked , looking at his dad , his jaw clenched as he refused to look at me .
â Hey kid , not going to fucking greet me ? â Uncle Al asked , raising an eyebrow .
â Hi . Can I go now ? â He was thirteen , yet a s expected of an Alpha male , he was tall . Marcel was about to say something when Uncle shook his head at him slightly before he simply nodded . â One picture with your uncle then you can â go . Leo exhaled and walked over to him . Raihana and Delsanra exchanged a look as they moved away , and Uncle placed an arm around his shoulders , the photographer snapped a picture before Uncle jerked his head at me .
I shook my head and he raised an eyebrow . â I want a fucking picture of the Rossi next generation .
Now get the fuck over here . â â Only thing is , Dante isnât here . â I remarked , walking over to him , noting the look of irritation in Leoâs eyes , but Uncleâs grip on his shoulder was firmly keeping him in place .. â The fucker already had an entire fucking photoshoot . â Uncle smirked . We took a picture before Marcel and Chris joined in and that was all Leo could take . â Youâve grown , Leo . â Mom said to him the moment he pulled away from Uncleâs hold . He gave a small nod before turning and walking off . â Itâs not your fault . â Marcel said quietly t o me , but I didnât reply . It wasnât intentional , but it had been my fault , and I couldnât just ignore that â¦
