Untamed: The Alpha

55 THE WEDDING DAY (2)

Lise was sitting in front of a body length mirror, where she could see her reflection.

It was a young girl, an unhappy one, whose facial expression was more suitable for someone who was waiting for her final verdict instead of someone who would marry the most wanted bachelor in the Fokosa city.

Her wedding dress was very beautiful and fancy, but still gave off a sense of elegance.

It was a white strapless ballgown, with a sweetheart neckline, which created a heart shape on the bodice that showed her shoulders. The fabric of this gown was shiny and flowy, which left enough room for her to breath. Gael emphasized that he didn’t want to suffocate the baby.

He put so much attention on his child, but Lise couldn’t find it in her to feel something for what he had done for her and the baby. Her feelings for him were numb.

Even if she had any feelings for him, they were definitely not of love, not even affection.

“You look beautiful, but why are you sad?”

The sound of a child’s voice that echoed inside this silent room startled Lise. She had asked to be left alone after all those people were done making her presentable on her wedding day, despite the emptiness that she displayed through her eyes.

“Who are you?” Lise asked the little girl, who was walking confidently toward her, and sat down on top of the table before staring at her with her hazel eyes, but then Lise remembered. “Are you Blue?”

.....

“Hm.” The little girl nodded. “Why are you sad?” She didn’t forget her question.

Lise knew about her from a few words that she could register when Gael gave her the information about the details of their wedding.

“I am not.”

“You are lying.”

“How old are you?”

“Eight.”

Lise frowned. She didn’t feel like she was talking to an eight year old little girl.

“Why are you sad? Are you sad because you will marry Gael?” she jumped from the table and walked toward Lise. “I know he is annoying, I will be sad if I find out that my mate is him.” She stopped right in front of Lise.

Blue knew the concept of mates, since it was the basic knowledge for her kind.

On the other hand, Lise chuckled when she heard what she was saying, she was not sure that she fully understood her words. “Thank you for understanding me.”

“But, Gael is not bad.” Blue didn’t even blink when she said that, which effectively made Lise stop smiling. “He is just lonely.”

Lise clenched her jaw, but said nothing to her.

“Do you want to hear a story about a boy that was cursed? Recently Anne told me that story.” Blue ran toward the chairs nearby and took a chair for her.

“I don’t think I have time to hear your story, my wedding is in ten minutes.” Lise glanced at the clock. It was not because she was very eager to walk down the aisle, but she was nervous about what she was going to do and hearing Blue’s story wouldn’t help her at all.

Blue stopped dragging the chair and let it go, as her expression turned sad. “Ah... okay, maybe next time.”

“Maybe next time,” Lise agreed.

==================

“Why do we have to wait until the wedding ceremony ends? We can attack them now!” Sol looked at his father, Archie, furiously. He couldn’t grasp the reason why they needed to wait until Lise became someone else’s wife when they were able to prevent that from happening.

“It’s not the right time!” Archie told his son grimly. He knew why Sol was very impatient to attack the building as soon as possible. He was aware of his feelings toward the girl, but that was not in their plan.

“Stop arguing with father and stay in your position,” Jasmine told him, as she threw a gun to him. “Our mission is to kill the creature, not to rescue your girl.”

Sol caught the gun easily, even without seeing it, but he had an urge to blow his sister’s head off for talking about Lise casually.

“Do you think she will have the courage to give him poison?” Archie asked Sol, because he knew the girl better than anyone else.

“She will,” Sol said certainly. He remembered the look in Lise’s eyes when she told him that she didn’t love him. He knew it was a lie and he knew her enough to say that.

“Good,” Archie commented and gave a signal to everyone there to fall in positions. They were in the building across from the building, where the wedding was being held. “If all went according to plan, the creature would die before sunset.”

Sol looked at the clear sky, it was only two hours before the sun went down.

“Go to your position,” Jasmine told her brother, while bumping his shoulder.

===================

Alpha Anthony and his beta, Mateo, arrived with dozens of his people in the building where the wedding would be held. His backup would arrive shortly once he asked for them.

He knew that his niece was somewhere inside this building and he came to talk to her. The last time they met was when she was only five years old. It had been three years, but he was sure that she still remembered him.

The only reason why he didn’t go to her school was because there was something that prevented him and his people from coming closer to that area.

It was magic and he knew it was Chaos’ doing.

“May I see your invitation, sir?” a man asked politely when Anthony was about to enter the building.

Mateo took out something from his blazer and produced two invitation cards. They had come prepared for tonight.

“Oh, Mr. Logos and Mr. Dornan, this way please,” he said politely, opening his arms to show the way to them.
