Chapter 9 - The wedding of nightmares.

Zayn

I was walking along the path with Alice, as we headed to the location of the ceremony, and I felt more alive, than I had ever since that awful day. I suppose I had Alice to thank for that. She handled that very well, and I was proud of her for it.

I was glad I could put a smile on her face as well, she also seemed livelier than she had been when she was sulking about what my a**hole of a son did to her. How could he let such an amazing and lovely woman down? It seriously boggled my mind, and I knew that he had made a huge mistake, because in my opinion, Alice was so much more perfect in every way compared to her sister, and I would be damned if they even tried doing anything to her now.

I was going to make her my Luna, and I was going to put them in their place. I just needed to wait a little longer, until she was ready for all of that, because it would be a massive change to her current situation, and I did not want to scare her off.

We arrived at the ceremony where everyone was waiting, and the wedding had begun as I took my rightful place next to my son, waiting for Kaitlyn to arrive.

Alice

I sat down as Zayn went up to the altar, standing next to my ex-mate, and I felt a sense of dread wash over me. I hope that the two of them get everything they deserve. I was astonished at how everyone could just sit there, and be happy for them, when they knew what the situation was.

I started noticing a few people gossiping about it, and it made my blood boil as the whispers flooded my ears.

“Did you hear about the scandal?” “Yes I heard, I mean Kaitlyn got what she wanted I guess.” “Yeah, I don’t know how she does it.” “She’s just sitting there.” “I feel kind of bad for her.” “I don’t she’s an omega, he probably didn’t want her in the first place.” “I mean who would?”

These wolves had no shame, and I felt a tear cascading down my cheek, the feeling of sadness overtaking my senses. How could they be so cruel? I thought everyone was supposed to stick together, but it looks like they were no better than the humans. Always gossiping, and always having something insensitive to say.

I wiped my cheek, and forced the lump in my throat down, as Kaitlyn finally appeared, and the pianist played the usual song that was played at weddings.

I watched as Kaitlyn walked down the aisle, and I found myself growing angrier with each step she took. I refrained from doing anything, or saying anything for that matter, even though I really wanted to shut these two-faced mutts up.

Kaitlyn arrived at the altar, and the elder started speaking.

“Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today to celebrate the union between Tristan Trevino and Kaitlyn Kent. Before we begin, is there anyone that would like to object as to why these two should not get married?” As he said it, I could see everyone turning to me, their gazes burning into my soul, and that is when the whole pack, except the pups of course, started their murmurs.

“Do you think she is going to do it?” “No way she is an omega, it’s not like she has much of a say.” “True, she is only good at taking care of our pups.” “She should honestly stand up for herself.” “Like she is going to do that.” “I feel she derives it.” “… couldn’t keep a mate if her life depended on it.” “Such a waste.”

I felt heartbreak, because never in my entire life had I thought that people could be this horrendous to one another, and I fought back the tears threatening to let loose like a dam bursting.

“Then… If there is no objection, we will now begin with the ceremony.” The elder went on, giving me a quick look of sympathy, and that is when I stood up from my chair, I couldn’t handle it anymore, I needed to get away.

“Why did she even come if she couldn’t handle it?” “She’s so weak.” “Cannot even sit through a wedding.”

I bowed in respect, and simply walked away, feeling the tears finally bursting, and blurring my vision. F*ck them, f*ck this pack, f*ck everyone. Once I was out of sight, I fully started to cry, feeling my heart shatter all over again, and I thought to myself, how could the moon goddess be so cruel?

I broke off into a sprint, running in a random direction, but at this point I did not care where I would end up, I just had to get away from all of them. They were all heartless monsters who deserved every bad thing that was going to happen to them.

I eventually stopped running to catch my breath, and I had found myself lost. I was lost in a woodland forest, with no sense of which direction was home… Home? Could I even call that place a home anymore? I didn’t care.

I could not risk going back to that place after what had just transpired. I weaved in-between the trees, when I heard a familiar sound ringing in my ears. The sound of water cascading against rock hit my ears, and I followed the sound to the river. At least I could use this to find my way back if I so chose, but for now I sat at the riverbanks, and took in the beautiful scenery.

That is until I heard something snap behind me, and when I turned to look, I couldn’t see what had made that sound. I shrugged it off as some little creature, and continued to wallow in my sorrows. That is when I heard it again, like the crunching of leaves, and I decided that I did not have the strength to stand up, nor did I care about what happened to me.

I just wanted all this pain to end…
