ZARA'S POV
It was a lovely trip around the different packs, the experience was next to nothing and the welcome we received as a team and on a personal level was out of this world.

RECEPTIONDRAKE'S POVI wrapped my arms around my bride's arm and led her down the steps and off the altar. As soon as we reached down the steps, the guests, our families, and well wishes threw petals of roses on us. I was enjoying the whole ceremony and the attention my bride and I were receiving. Being loved was something that I valued more than wealth and power.The showering of the roses on us continued till we reached the hall where the reception was to take place.Myself and Zara, my betas and their mates together with our groomsmen and bridesmaid were led by an usher to the head table where we sat directly in the center.The other tables started filling up with our guests, and the invited emissaries and supernatural beings were seated at some round tables a few feet away from us.

Rose called me the sister she never had and she had always treated me that way.After the speech and once we finished our meal, it was time for the emissaries and the invited guests to meet me. I was unsure and fidgeted a bit but Drake held my hands and mind linked me with words of encouragement.They all said kind words to me and when the vampire king came I started fidgeting again and sweated more when he held my arms and kissed them. He was over six feet, with pale skin and dark hair, handsome and lean. He had not a single wrinkle on his angular face and I was sure he was a very old vampire almost 1000 years old. He looked to have stopped aging when he was almost the same age as Drake and he was very attractive and had a powerful

I had asked my workers to make themselves scarce and ensured that no one would disturb us, after all, it was our wedding night and there was so much we should be doing and that did not involve having guests and family or friends witnessing it. I wanted all the time alone with this beautiful woman standing next to me. I felt starved of my Zara since we had been separated for two days in the name of a Bachelorette party.

Zara said as she laughed hysterically"Nothing." I feign ignorance "Just doing what

Zara turned to face him."Yes, don't worry, go back to sleep." He kissed her forehead, and Zara slept off almost immediately.Drake left the bed and went to the balcony. It had been ages since he ran and it was just some minutes to six. He could run if he wanted to, his wolf beckoned to the forest and it howled begging for release. The fresh air and the dews called out to his wolf. He was already naked because he loved sleeping naked and since Zara came into his life, it was easier and best to sleep skin-to-skin with her. From his balcony, he jumped out and stretched, shifting to his wolf form in the air and landing on his paws. He ran into the woods with so much gust, strength, and power. His nose flared from the early morning wind, his paws romanced the damp earth, and Drake was fulf
