The Wedding Day

Chapter 5 

Sansa's Pov 

Flashback: Seven months ago

In the blink of an eye, it was like a dream; I was nervous but happy. It was real, but it felt like a dream to me—a beautiful dream.

Have you ever been in love? It was incredible and unexpected to have someone in my life who cared for me, wanted me more than he wanted me, and loved me despite my flaws.

That made me wonder what makes me so unique. Logan Jareth was my first love, and there is nothing more amazing than marrying the man you love.

I was about to reveal myself to him as a bride, and he was waiting for me in the wedding hall. I was walking down the aisle holding a bouquet in a long white maxi with a long white veil touching the ground.

Logan was looking at me with hazel-colored eyes, a fringe haircut on dark red hair, and a gray suit with a burgundy tie, and I could see the joy and excitement in him.

The wedding hall was packed with human guests. Only Logan and I were distinct creatures that humans couldn't differentiate. We didn't know any of them, but we invited them at random so we wouldn't feel lonely. 

Miss Valenta was the only person we both knew. She was overjoyed for both of us. She did not only guide me through life, but she also protected me and provided me with shelter, food, hopes, and dreams; without her holding my hand, I would not be alive.

She was more than a family member when my blood relative abandoned me in the dark to die of hunger.

Logan, a Darkfur pack beta, was willing to give up his title to marry me, but his father refused to accept me as his daughter-in-law, preferring him to marry Alpha Reem Quin of the Blue Shadow pack.

Logan had always been a good son to his father, always obeying him without question, but for the first time, Logan asked him to marry me, but he refused.

Logan chose me over his pack because he was the only one I had left after being abandoned by the people I called the family a long time ago.

When all the other kids were having fun with their family and friends, living the best days of their lives, and making memories for the future, I was living on the streets, surviving every day, starving to death, and protecting myself from evil eyes when I had no shelter.

My rough childhood and cursed luck always made me wonder why I was here. Why am I alive? Why did it happen to me? Why me?  I asked myself this every night before closing my eyes.

Logan was the only person who stood by me and accepted me for who I was. I never had a friend, but Logan was my one and only.

Logan approached me halfway down the aisle, his excitement visible, and I couldn't make eye contact with him after he kissed me on the forehead.

I had always been shy, and the shyer I was, the more romantic Logan was; he wasn't afraid to express his love for me in front of everyone.

Logan extended his elbow, and I wrapped mine around his. and we both walked down the aisle; I had no family members, so Logan was walking down the aisle with me, so I didn't feel alone.

He was such a thoughtful and good man that I felt fortunate every second to have him. We both faced each other as the priest began his speech. Logan couldn't stop smiling at me as I blushed.

That time helped you prepare for the promises you'd make to each other. That was a priceless and intimate moment that you will remember for the rest of your life.

That was a priceless moment that you would want to be remembered for.

Logan detected a strange odor, and the door unexpectedly opened. Eight men in blue and black suits walked towards us. They are standing close to us.

"Thank you for coming today, but you must leave now because we heard there is a bomb planted in this hall and it will be blasted in 15 minutes," a panicked Edward announced over the mic.

Everyone panicked, and the hall was empty in 10 minutes. Edward burst out laughing.

"Poor humans," Edward observed.

"What exactly is going on? Who are you, people?" Logan inquired.

"My name is Edward Elijah, and that man is," he said, motioning to Xavier.

Xavier entered the hall wearing a blue suit, a wristwatch, glasses, and shoes. He was dressed in branded clothing from head to toe.

 "Xavier Ronan."  Logan, who was visibly upset, said,

"Do you know this guy?" I asked Logan about it.

Logan expressed disappointment. "He is an Alpha from the Oak pack."

"We never let anyone forget about us," Edward teased Logan.

Xavier appeared to be a billionaire. He had a devil-may-care attitude. He has a man bun and a ducktail beard. He removed his glasses and looked at me for a moment, his sea-rover blue eyes flickering with curiosity.

"I have no business with you, gentleman; could you tell me why you've come?" Logan, who was intrigued, inquired.

Xavier couldn't take his gaze away from me, which made me suspicious of him. How could someone stare at you like that the first time they met?

"I came to claim my bride," Xavier said quietly as he watched me.

"I don't understand," Logan said.

"She's my bride," Xavier told Logan.

"Excuse me! Do I know you?" I inquired of him.

"No, we don't, but we are bound by the law, The Pronouncement of Wonder and I'm here to claim you," Xavier declared.

"I'm not sure what you're talking about," I replied.

"You'll know when the time comes," Xavier predicted.

As Angry Logan approached Xavier, the members of the Oak Pack all pointed their guns at me. Upset Logan paused.

"I wouldn't want bloodshed in this lovely hall," Xavier said in a calm voice.

Xavier approached me and smelled my scent "I finally found you,"

He perplexed and intrigued me; he refused to clarify anything, which made me more cautious.

"You are coming with me," Xavier said.

"I'd kill myself before going with you," I declared.

To scare me, Xavier pointed a gun at me.

"I don't care," I declared boldly.

Xavier turned and pointed the gun at Logan.

"Would you dare? I will kill him before you do anything," Xavier stated solemnly.

I was terrified because I didn't want Logan to suffer any harm. I didn't want to be without him.

"Leave or I'll kill you," Logan yelled angrily.

Before Logan defeated Xavier, all the pack members fought with him, flying, sprinting, and leaving claw marks on Logan's body.

Logan dashed over to Xavier, but he came to a halt as Xavier clutched my neck. I was out of breath, and Logan was powerless.

"Let me know if you want to die; I'd take her anyway." Xavier threatened Logan.

Logan was on the verge of transforming. His eyes were changing color, and his claws were slowly growing. Xavier took his hand off my neck and shot Logan twice in the arm with the silver bullet, who was growling in pain.

At the same time, I was catching my breath and in shock. As I moved closer to Logan, Xavier stopped me.

"You want him to die? Do you want to save his life or not?" Xavier inquired.

Logan was on the verge of death, but he was still planning to attack Xavier. I knew what Xavier was up to; he was using both of us to save each other's lives and wanted us to give up to fulfill his wish.

"Stop, Logan, please stop right there," I shouted.

Logan was taken aback because he knew I had already decided to abandon him.

"I'm sorry, Logan," I said, my voice shaking.

I was sobbing silently. I was feeling hopeless because the man I had ever loved was dying and no one could save him except me.

Xavier extended his hand, and Edward extended two rings. Xavier handed me an extended ring to put on him, but I declined.

Xavier grabbed my arm roughly. "You supposed to follow blindly to save your lover" Xavier explained calmly.

He was calm, but he had an aggressive personality, which he was using to dominate me right away.

"It's your wedding today, and the ring ceremony is part of the wedding," Xavier said in a husky voice

I was looking over at Logan, who was attempting to stand but was unable to do so.

Xavier grabbed my chin and turned me around. "You have his life in your hands; do not move or he will die."

When I was struggling, Xavier forced my hand, put the ring on my finger, and put the other ring on his finger.

His pack members were clapping and congratulating him, while I and Logan were staring at each other and silently crying.

"Congratulations!"  Edward exclaimed enthusiastically. "You may now kiss the bride."

Logan, who was about to take his last breath, was still looking over me with teary eyes. This was a traumatic experience for both of us.

We were just celebrating the best moment of our lives a few minutes ago; who would have predicted that things would go so wrong? Our hopes and dreams were crushed.

Xavier moved in closer to kiss me. How could I let strangers kiss me so soon after the meeting? My eyes were welling up with tears.

When their gazes were fixed on us, they were all waiting for the kiss. I held my breath as Xavier leaned in closer, looking into my eyes for a brief moment.

His scent was unfamiliar to me, and he was too close to my lips. I clutched my hand, wanting to beat him, but any wrong move would result in Logan's death.

Xavier leaned in closer to my ear and said, "Our kiss is due," before leaning back.

"Get the car ready; the bride wants to leave," Xavier said to Edward.

"Sure," Edward said politely, motioning for another member to leave.

They all left while Logan, Xavier, Edward, and I remained. Xavier extended his hand, and I had no choice but to hold it while Logan watched my every move.

"You proved how loyal you can be to your lover today; it's time to go home," Xavier said seductively.

Logan was speechless as I walked away with the pack, knowing that to save him, I gave up. Throughout my life, people have abandoned me, and Logan was one I abandoned that day. 

When all the expensive cars were parked behind him, Xavier opened the door to his BMW, a gleaming black car. I turned back as I heard Logan growling from inside the hall, and a single tear fell from my eye, a tear of regret.
