Vanessa POV
As I lay on the massage table. My thoughts kept going towards Alfred. What was he doing? How was his day going? I kept thinking about the way we made love. It was turning me on, lying here thinking about it. I could not wait until tonight. Tonight, I will

She had me sit up, and she wrapped a towel around me and helped me down. Then a chair was brought out, and it was for getting a pedicure. They turned on the water and adjusted it. I then put my feet in the water. It was so warm and soothing. I lay my head back and closed my eyes. As I was soaking my feet, the lady took one out of the water and started to massage my feet. It tickled at first until she hit sore muscles. I almost jumped out of the chair. Stacey laughed at me.
”
You need to do this more often.”
“I will tell Alfred that you need more pedicures.”
I started to shake my head no, but she wouldn’t listen to me. I was surprised at how I had already been treated and now this. They finished with my feet and painted my toenails. Then they began working on my fingernails. They were already short, but they added artificial nails and painted them. Then it was time for a light lunch. A soup and salad bar has been set up. Everything looked so good. I was hungry. The servants prepared some food for us and brought it to us. The vegetables were fresh, as if they had been picked from a garden. The soup was clearly homemade.
We ate lunch, and then it started to get late. Our ceremony will start in an hour. It was three o’clock and our ceremony was at four. We then went to the house. Alfred was in the bedroom. Stacey quickly ran him out. He was not happy about it. He wanted to see me in my dress. But there was a silly superstition that if he saw me in my dress before the ceremony, our relationship would fall apart. So he left, but he was not happy about it. He stormed out of the bedroom. After he left, Stacey and I laughed.
“When I find my mate, he will probably be like that. My dad was like that when he could
not see my mother before their ceremony.”
I thought he didn’t need to follow that since he was the king. But I was wrong.
Now let’s get you ready to go get your dress on.”
It was hanging in my closet. I carefully took the hanger off the hook. My hands were trembling as I lifted the plastic. After I removed the plastic and looked at the finished dress, it was more beautiful than I had imagined. I carefully removed the hanger from the dress and gently laid it on the bed, as if it were breakable. I was so afraid that I was going to tear it that my hands trembled. I carefully took my robe off. I did not have any undergarments on. I then picked up my bra and put it over my shoulders. Stacey fastened the back. I then put my underwear on.
I had secretly asked Stacey to pick up a white lace lingerie outfit for tonight, when it was just me and Alfred, and I had stuck it in my bag without Alfred seeing it.
“You did pack it right.‘
“Yes, Stacey, I did without him seeing it.”
I then put on my dress and sat in front of the vanity. Stacey did my hair and helped put
makeup on. I wasn’t allowed to look until she was done. She then took the sheet she had been using to protect my dress and turned the chair around so I could look at myself. The woman in the mirror, I did not recognize. It was me, but not me. I had to make sure it was
me in the mirror. I pinched myself hard. Right then, there was a knock on the door. It was
Chris.
Is Luna OK?”
Alfred must have felt the pain where I pinched myself.
Chris, she is fine. She pinched herself.”
“Go tell everyone we will be out in a minute.”
“As you wish, princess.”
He was then gone. We both laughed, and then I helped Stacey put on her dress. She did her hair and make–up while I watched. She explained everything to me as she did it and
why she put that make–up there. Then she was ready, and so was I. We then walked out and to the garden entrance. Stacey was supposed to go before, but she stayed right next
to me. The doors opened and the music started. Stacey walked a few steps in front of me. Alfred turned and looked down the aisle, and it looked as if his breath caught in his chest.
He had a smile from ear to ear.
He reached his hand to me as I got close to him. He then guided me closer to him. The ceremony had begun. The man read the laws and stated the responsibilities of my role as Luna. I agreed with all of those. ALfr4ed agreed to his part of being my mate, and then we kissed. It was time to shift. I took my dress off and handed it to Stacey. I then shifted into my wolf. Everyone was amazed to see my wolf, the White Wolf.

Alfred then shifted. We ran down the aisle like we were supposed to and back. I then shifted back to my human form. I then went and got dressed again. Alfred stayed in his wolf form. I then got on his back
and he carried me up and down the aisle. It was supposed to be me him, but he changed it. Everyone cheered. He was happy, and so was I. He then shifted back into his human form. He pulled me close and marked me again. This time it felt different, more intense. It made my knees buckle. But then everything became numb, and it no longer hurt.
We then ate, danced, and had fun. He got up and tapped a glass, and everyone stopped what they were doing.
“My Luna and I will be retiring and going on a trip.”
As he said, there was a commotion on the other side of the garden. Then, werewolves and vampires came rushing in. A witch stopped in front of me and stabbed me in the chest. I heard Alfred scream my name as I fell to the floor. I could feel myself falling and hitting the ground.
