"All done ma'am..."
The makeup artist informed Eira after finishing her makeup.
Eira stood up from the vanity chair and looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing emerald green ball gown which xavion and she brought the other day. She was impressed by his choice, the color was going perfectly with her skin tone and white hair. Her hair was styled in a bun as xavion instructed her not to leave her hair down which might create difficulties in the marking. She wasn't wearing any necklace either, her neck was completely bare for him to mark.
She was looking classy with nude makeup and diamond earrings, finally she completed her look with high heels and was ready for the ceremony.
The makeup artist opened the door when they heard knock. It was Aron, he was wearing blue tuxedo and was looking different from his usual self.
Eira looked at him not knowing why he is here while Aron was standing there with blank face.
"I am here to escort you... You don't have a family so I took the responsibility..."
Eira frowned.
"But I can walk by myself..."
She said and makeup artists looked at her in disbelief thinking this girl doesn't even know basic things About the ceremony.
Aron rolled his eyes.
"It's a fucking thing Eira... Someone has to escort the bride."
He gave her a annoying look.
"How can you not know about it even after staying between humans for your whole life."
"I haven't attended any marriage before..."
She shrugged.
"Fair enough... Come on let's go..."
He extended his hand for her to take and she did.
Aron lead her outside towards the aisle.
"Is it normal to be this much nervous..."
Eira asked nervously, her heart was hammering in her chest.
"I don't know... I haven't marked yet..."
Aaron replied.
"You don't have a mate?... How old are you..."
She asked amused.
"135 years old... And why are you shocked, it's common. It takes time to find your mate. Xavion got you at the age of 150 years..."
He replied nonchalantly and Eira nodded in agreement.
Aron was feeling anxious, he didn't wanted Eira to get Involved with Xavion without any knowledge of his past. Xavion was keeping her in the dark and that wasn't setting well with Aron. He has realized that Eira is nothing like Patricia and she deserves to know all the truth.
Soon they will reach the aisle and Aron's guilt were eating him from inside. He wanted to tell her the truth, to tell her that his brother is lying to her.
"Eira"
He stopped just at the corner making her stop outside the entrance, they were hidden due to gate of flowers. She looked at him waiting for him to continue.
"I want to tell you something..."
Aron said with much difficulty.
"Yes?..."
She waited for him to say it.
Aron looked at Xavion who was standing on the aisle, he had a big smile on his face like he is the happiest and luckiest man on the earth. He was saying something to Ace with excitement. First time Aron has seen xavion so much happy. No doubt he loves his brother more than himself. Aron knows that whatever xavion is doing, he has a strong emotion behind it. He has suffered enough.
Aron couldn't muster up the courage to ruin his brothers happiness.
"You are looking breathtaking... Green suits you..."
Aron said changing his mind about telling Her the truth.
Eira smiled at him.
"Thank you..."
Aron forced the smile and lead her towards the aisle. Her stomach filled with butterflies as she saw her mate on the aisle. He was looking like a Greek god in his black tuxedo.
Xavion's smile widened as he saw her. He took her hand from Aron and made her stand in front of him.
"You look marvelous, my love..."
He complimented kissing her forehead making her blush.
"Start the ceremony..."
Xavion ordered the witch but when they were about to start the Marcel barged in.
"I OBJECT THIS MARKING..."
He declared making everyone look at him. He was standing in the middle of the hall with his few men.
Xavion Clenched his jaw in Anger and glared at him. Aron and Ace got alert and alert the security while Eira frowned at him.
"You have no right to object this marking... They are mates..."
One of the member from council stepped forward.
Eira looked at the man and realized that he were not there in council at the day of fight, non of them was there. Xavion made the council change as he had a valid reason to do that plus he had that much influence and no doubt the new member were in his favor.
Marcel didn't wanted Eira to get marked.
"We don't know that...Alpha Xavion has already lied about having a mate. What if he is lying this time too..."
"If you don't believe me then ask Eira..."
Xavion smirked, he had already fed her mind with so much lies and manipulation that he knows that she will be on his side.
"Alpha Xavion is my mate and I have no objection... This gentleman is no one to me and has no right to interfere in my personal life..."
Eira declared with hard glare while xavion wrapped his hand around her waist and Smirked.
Marcel frowned looking at her.
"Eira he killed Valarie... He killed your mother and aunt, how can you believe him over your own family."
Eira clenched her fists in anger.
"I don't have a family... Valarie was no one to me and I was going to kill her anyway. About Patricia, I have no idea and I don't want to know about her either... And I am orphan, I don't have a family."
"You do have a family..."
Marcel tried to change her mind but she wasn't taking it.
"And that family abandoned me to their own life peacefully..."
She countered and hall filled with murmuring and gasping sounds. Everyone was shocked to hear that. Marcel was also a reputed Alpha and no one expects this from him or his family members. For wolves family comes first.
"Get out Marcel, you won't get anything here..."
Xavion threatened.
"I am not giving up, xavion... Keep it in mind..."
Marcel warned.
"And you girl... You will regret choosing him..."
With that he turned around and left the ceremony.
"I apologize for the disturbance ladies and gentlemen... Let's start the ceremony..."
Xavion declared.
He looked at her with assuring smile and she smiled back not letting anyone ruin their special day.
"Ready?..."
Xavion asked in gentle voice and she nodded.
The witch chattered some spell and asked them to mark each other.
Eira have read about marking and the pain. It wasn't problem before but now she can feel it and it was making her nervous.
"Just relax and close your eyes..."
Xavion whispered lovingly while pulling her closer. She closed her eyes and tilted her neck giving him access.
Xavion held her by the waist and leaned down to kiss her neck. Eira's hold on his coat tightened, he could hear her erotic breathing.
Placing soothing kisses on her neck he licked the spot and bit her. Eira shook and trembled in his hold when his fangs pierced through her skin. She bit her lip hard to stop the scream while he held her tightly. The pain was unbearable for a moment.
He licked the spot to ease the pain After few seconds he pulled back and rubbed her back soothingly.
"Are you okay?..."
He asked looking at her glossy eyes.
She nodded.
"I am fine now..."
She answered as pain slowly faded.
Now it was Eira's turn to mark him. Xavion opened the first to buttons of his shirt to give her access. Eira placed her hand on his chest feeling his racing heart. She leaned closer to her neck and kissed the spot, his grip on her waist tightened when her fangs went deeper in his skin but it wasn't unbearable for him. She pulled away and licked the spot.
"You bite hard..."
He chuckled teasing her.
"I Announced Eira as my mate and the Luna of our pack..."
Xavion declared looking at the crowd and everyone clapped and cheered for them.
Xavion looked at her adoringly and kissed her while Eira's heart was pounding thinking about their mating...
