Rejecting Your Rejection
Brides and Grooms

“Watching you was tortuous but I think I can live with that."

Kiev came and took her the next day, he told her that his aunt Evelynwho lives in the Crescent pack wants to meet her at the cafe she uses towork at. They were a kind of quarrel in the morning when he came topick her up as she didn't know he has an aunt and she wasn't preparedto meet her.

They never talked to each other on their way until they arrived at thecafe, where at the corner sat Ms. Cringe, the type who was more thanready to murder her with their words and opinions.

When she saw them both she has a big grin on her face her handsgoing around Kiev hugging him. Yet that smile was for Kiev alone aswhen her eyes met hers she frowns pulling away from him then satback down on the chair. She nervously smiles sitting down next to Kievopposite her.

"Aunt Eve, I would like you to meet my fiancée Daniella” she took a sipof her black coffee "and when do you two intend to marry"

"well, we haven't thought of the date yet as we're still just young and-""gosh," she obviously cut her off. "Are you kidding me" she rolls hereyes at the two of them. "Who in their right mind in our race wouldpropose and expected to be married after 3 years”

Daniella was to say something but again Evelyn stops her before shecould say anything else.

"Did you have a Mate?"

"yes I did" she took a sip again of her coffee "poor soul, is he anAlpha?"

"No" she lies.

Turning beside her she saw Kiev tighten his hold and she knew that hedidn't like her answer. Evelyn's phone rang she answer it before puttingit down and ready to be gone somewhere.

"Schedule your wedding from four weeks now" Evelyn took her bysurprise "I'm sorry but-"

"No, but dear, four weeks from now on... Go on prepare everythingtime is ticking children" and she left them there.

"What the hell was that?"

Kiev whisper yell at her which makes her wolf growl a little more feltthreatened by his tone at him. Daniella’s wolf never resurfaced sinceshe accepted Kiev as her boyfriend. Hani her wolf totally shut her offbut surprisingly she just reacts just because Kiev seems to be a threat."Look I'm sorry but you know Eve is just my only family and you seemto disrespect her which hurt me the most" he took her hands into hismaking her wolf shut her out again.

"I didn't disrespect her, did you really have to listen to what your aunt issaying”

"Are you saying you don't want to marry me?"

"No but four weeks are you kidding me, how am I supposed to plan itwithin four weeks" she sighed with frustration.

He beams at her "we could start now, come on what's the use of yourman here" he bangs on his chest taking her hand, and drag her out ofthe cafe.

They went around looking for a venue first, she was looking intosomething more affordable and simple yet Kiev was going for the bigshot. She knew her saving and his salary wouldn't have made up for itbut Kiev insists on them having an expensive wedding saying he'll payfor it.

She thought for a minute where he would get the money from then, it'snot like she's ungrateful but she was afraid that he might be involved insomething illegal.

"Daniella would you wait here I have somewhere to go to"

"yeah I could take a look around” he kissed her on the cheek then leftto go wherever he's going.

She walks around the town for a while couldn't even remember most ofthe things here, a lot of things changes around since Dante took it over.Not in a bad way but impressively he turn it more into a fairy-tale place.Suddenly she remembered that she could have been a rogue if shewasn't part of a rogue which seems strange to her. Betas and the guardshould drag her back to the main Crimson Pack territory forquestioning but nothing happens.

She came across a shop with classy windows it's has a sign of Lisa'sfashion and jewelry. She watches from the outside through the bigglass window as the ladies inside rushes from here to there while theother one was fixing the bride to be's dress.

She tries to imagine herself doing that only if she has the money to buya beautiful wedding dress yet since she can't afford it in the meantimeshe would settle for a simple one.

The bride to stretch her arms, turning from side to side while the ladiesgasp in awe.

Slowly she twirls around and turns facing her direction.

The bride was beautiful indeed but her mind and wolf were telling hershe's not as the bride to be was the one who was going to marry Dante,her mate.

She tries to take small breathing in but once the groom to be, appearsbeside the bride her world stops. She shouldn't felt this way yet herfeelings were betraying her and her love for Kiev. She wishes the moongoddess would have created their world so big like how the humansGod create theirs.

As if he knew her presence his eyes met hers from inside to outsideeven though he was kind of far inside.

"There you are" Kiev's voice interrupts her, she quickly walks to himtaking his attention away from the shop and walks away.

She spends the whole day with him, going around to organize thingsfor their wedding and him taking her on dinner before dropping her offat the house. She kicks off her shoes and walks inside the living roomonly to be met with the husband and wife to be along with Cameron.i

Dante greeted her and she felt her insides slowly burning in to flamefrom his voice.
