186 Wedding revelations II

Lyla

It would be better if | was struck by lightning at this point as my mother’s words registered.

My hand that had held her arms moments ago, fell limp beside me. | was still trying to process everything she

just said. What was she talking about? How can | be a bastard when she was my mother?

Nathan cforward, his voice was low but firm. “Stop this now, Luna Vanessa.”

She turned to him, her expression was unrepentant. “This is not your decision, Nathan. It is the law of our pack”

His blue eyes burned with annoyance. “This is my wedding, and | will not let you or any of the stupid laws ruin it.

I love Lyla and | will marry her.”

Then he turned to me, who still stood frozen beside my mother, tears clouding my vision. “Lyla,” he said softly,

reaching out his hand. “Cwith me.”

For a moment, the world seemed to hold its breath. | glanced between my mother and Nathan's outstretched

hand. With trembling fingers, | placed my hand in his.

My mother scoffed. “The law is clear, Nathan. If you go against it, what will the people say? Are you trying to tell

us that you're bigger than the law?”

The crowd quieted, and all eyes turned to us.

“If this is a matter of legitimacy,” | said coldly. “It will be addressed after the ceremony. Until then, the union will

proceed as planned.”

“I'm sorry, Nathan but | cannot allow that,” My mom drew closer. “If you don’t want your beloved Lyla to rot in

the dungeon at the West for the rest of her miserable life, you'd stop being so headstrong. | warned you, didn't I?

| gave you a better option but you thought you were bigger thanand that your will is final”

“This has nothing to do with my will, Luna Vanessa, Nathan screeched closing the distance between them. “I love

Lyla. She’s my life and | want her. Pushing your daughter tois ridiculous. If it’s not Lyla... then no wedding is

happening.”

“Oh, it will,” Luna Vanessa chuckled evilly. “You see, | prepared so much for it to go to waste. So, there will be a

wedding at the end of the day. Whether you agree to it or not.”

| could feel angry tremors coursing through Nathan. He turned to me, tuggingto his side. “Let's get out of

here, baby”

But | refused, | dug my heels to the ground, removing my hand from his.

“Nathan, wait!” | finally squeaked out and faced my mother. “Why do you hateso much? Why do you need to

resort to lies just to punish me?”

You think the world revolves around you Tula Fine you might be enecial but I've dreamt of this

day all my life and I've waited patiently, to make sure | hurt you the sway you hurt me.”

“Is this about Dad?” a tear seeped into my mouth. “What does that have to do with me? | didn’t kill him. It’s not

my fault?”

“No!” she barked at me, meeting and holding my gaze. “Your presence ruinedand my family. It is your

fault... your birth scattered my family and you killed...”

Beta Jeremy immediately rushed forward and clasped his hand over my mother’s mouth.

“That's enough Vanessa. Let's take this elsewhere.”

He motioned to one of the maids to lead her out of the hall. When they left, the crowd was still as quiet as

before. The news was just too heavy to bear. Beta Jeremy picked up the mic and faced

the crowd.

“We're sorry for the little hiccup. Please stay put, in a few minutes, everything will be resolved and it will

continue as planned, thank you.”

“What will continue as planned?” Nathan rushed at his father as soon as he dropped the mic. “There will be no

wedding if it’s not Lyla. | don’t know what plans...”

“Shut up

for once and listen!” his father gritted his teeth. “This is your opportunity to save her if you mess this up...”

“Why does he need to save me?” | interrupted; the tears were streaming down my eyes. “Is it true | am a

bastard? What else has everyone been keeping away from me?”

Beta Jeremy turned and stared atfor a moment. Then he sighed and reached for my hand. “I can’t believe

she still didn’t tell you anything. Cwithdear, in a moment you'll know the

truth.”

“Tellwhat?” | refused to take his hand or Nathan's as my gaze darted between both men. “How can | trust

any of you when it is obvious that everyone knows something that | don’t? What is going on Nathan? Beta

Jeremy... is this because | refused to leave Nathan as requested?”

“Part of it, Lyla but | wouldn't ruin a day like this for my son and | have no idea that this is going to happen.

Anything that happened today was orchestrated by Luna Vanessa and not me. If you want to know the truth, just

cwith me, he pleaded again. more than anyone...thinks you deserve to know after all this while.”

| wiped my nose, sniffing. After a minute, | nodded languidly and took his hand, allowing him to guideout of

the hall. We continued to a smaller office at the back of the hall. When | entered, the core elders of the southern

region were already seated. My mother | didn’t know if she was at this point and two strange-looking men whom

I'd never met before were there too, including the Moon Priest.

It remindedof what happened on the day of Nathan's supposed coronation. I still had trauma from that day.

Alpha Renwick rose to his feet as soon as we entered, there was an embarrassed expression on

his face. Beta Jeremy ledto an empty seat and settledin before sitting next toon my right and

Nathan on my left.

“We're so sorry for everything that’s happened today, Lyla. Honestly, none of us is aware...”

“Don’t say that Renwick!” one of the strange-looking men interrupted coldly. “How can you all forget such

important details? The pact already expired two years ago and none of you were kind enough to inform your

Alpha before his death.”

“Fine!” Alpha Renwick hissed. “That's because it's been so long and we’ve had a lot on our plates in recent

times.” He inhaled deeply and turned to me. “Miss Lyla, I'm sorry that this had to happen like this but this union

will not hold.”

“What is that supposed to mean? On whose order?” Nathan flared rising to his feet. “I will charge you all for

treason for going behind my back...”

“Sit your ass down, Nathan Tanner!” the second of the strange-looking men said with an amused expression on

his face. “We know you're consumed by love and duty. We even heard from our sister how you spent four years

in the dungeon of the Lycan Leader just to protect her...” he paused as he and the other man exchanged amused

glances.

“While we admire your chivalry, we request you remain quiet for a few minutes. Because if you don’t, we'll go

ahead and do what we chere for without your permission. You can take us to the highest council and we'll

still win the case.”

“If you had problems with Lyla becoming my mate, you had plenty of tto complain,” Nathan stubbornly said.

“Why choose one of the happiest days of our lives to ruin it for us?”

“Because our sister said so. And to say the truth, we're not interested in her legitimacy as Alpha Logan's bastard.

It's really none of our business. We only chere because a pact was not kept. A pact signed 9 years ago that

had a 7-year validity that is to say... the pact expired 2 years a

ago and was not renewed. So, we've cto carry out what we agree to be the consequences for breaking the

agreement.”

The man paused and clapped his hands thrice.

Suddenly, the door opened and warriors dressed in full combat gear filed in. They were about two dozen from

what | was able to count.

“What is the meaning of this?” Nathan had gone livid. “Who approved of this? How dare you bring foreign

military without my consent? Do you wish to be arrested?”

“Maybe!” both men said uniformly, exchanging amusing looks again. “But after we're done arresting your

murderer of a mate.”
