186 Wedding revelations II 

Lyla 

It would be better if I 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. I was still trying to process everything she just said. What was she talking about? How can I be a bastard when she was my mother? 

Nathan came forward, 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 I will not let you or any of the stupid laws ruin it. I love Lyla and I 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. “Come with me.” 

For a moment, the world seemed to hold its breath. I glanced between my mother and Nathan’s outstretched hand. With trembling fingers, I 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,” I said coldly. “It will be addressed after the ceremony. Until then, the union will proceed as planned.” 

“I’m sorry, Nathan but I 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. I warned you, didn’t I? I gave you a better option but you thought you were bigger than me and 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 I want her. Pushing your daughter to me is ridiculous. If it’s not Lyla… then no wedding is happening.” 

“Oh, it will,” Luna Vanessa chuckled evilly. “You see, I 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.” 

I could feel angry tremors coursing through Nathan. He turned to me, tugging me to his side. “Let’s get out of here, baby” 

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

“Nathan, wait!” I finally squeaked out and faced my mother. “Why do you hate me so 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 I hurt you the same way you hurt me.” 

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

“No!” she barked at me, meeting and holding my gaze. “Your presence ruined me and 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. I 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?” I interrupted; the tears were streaming down my eyes. “Is it true I am a bastard? What else has everyone been keeping away from me?” 

Beta Jeremy turned and stared at me for a moment. Then he sighed and reached for my hand. “I can’t believe she still didn’t tell you anything. Come with me dear, in a moment you’ll know the 

truth.” 

“Tell me what?” I refused to take his hand or Nathan’s as my gaze darted between both men. “How can I trust any of you when it is obvious that everyone knows something that I don’t? What is going on Nathan? Beta Jeremy… is this because I refused to leave Nathan as requested?”

“Part of it, Lyla but I wouldn’t ruin a day like this for my son and I 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 come with me, he pleaded again. “Me more than anyone…thinks you deserve to know after all this while.” 

I wiped my nose, sniffing. After a minute, I nodded languidly and took his hand, allowing him to guide me out of the hall. We continued to a smaller office at the back of the hall. When I entered, the core elders of the southern region were already seated. My mother I 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 reminded me of 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 led me to an empty seat and settled me in before sitting next to me on my right and Nathan on my left. 

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