The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 68: The Stage Had Been Set

[SICARIO]

The Clarkson envoy was huge, despite the fact that they were considered the weakest pack in the realm. It was surprising really and anyone would have assumed that they had gone this hard for the damn wedding, because their child was their hidden power in the pack.

It was one thing to be weak, but damn, the preparations they had made for the efforts that they had made toward this wedding was insane, to say the least. At first glance it could have easily been assumed that they are royalty and powerful, but were they?

"Please take care of my daughter," Alpha Clarkson said to Jer.

He looked like every father handing over his child and he looked a little skeptical about this. Then again, the Clarkson alpha knew that his child would be in great hands, after all the Sicario pack was the strongest of them all, right?

But what were the chances that his daughter would go through the same fate as the banished alpha for this very pack?

"I will... Thank you, for trusting me with her," Jer said sincerely as he took a look at the beautiful woman beside him.

She looked so innocent, so fragile, and untainted.

It was clear that his new wife was naive and had no understanding of how the world beyond the weakest pack worked. She had been protected from the chaos of the world and Jer found her the perfect first for a trophy wife.

All she had to do was to sit pretty and exist as the Sicario pack luna. She wouldn't have any responsibilities and Jer loved that, because this time, he would have all the control, but would he?

"Hello, alpha Jeremy," Malika greeted respectfully as she looked at her new husband. She looked timid even as she watched Jer take her hand into his, smiling at her, in the hope that it would reduce the fear that the woman had.

Maybe she was just shy, right?

"Hello Malika, you look beautiful today... Shall we?" Jer said to his new bride, who nodded shyly, before they turned to the officiator who was happy about the union in itself.

Everyone had always wondered who was to be the greatest pack's Luna after the crazy one left, but here and now, they were glad that she didn't look like a psycho who could murder them if they so much as looked at her the wrong way.

Maybe they seemed to be forgetting that it was always the silent ones who were scariest.

"Congratulations to both of you. You got yourself quite the bride, Alpha Jer. Thank the goddess she isn't as crazy as the last one, hmm?" Rukiya said to Jer who nodded to her with a smile, like this was the best thing that ever happened to him.

"Don't mention her here. She might even pop up from the dead. Today is about me and my Malika," Jer said and Adolf held back a snicker, especially when he saw Malika's annoyed smirk make a show for a split second.

This was really going to be fun.

"Oh, but she's a darling. May you always be happy, Malika. Can I hug you?" Rukiya said and Malia looked at Jer like he was asking her if she could do it. And that gave Jer the feeling of being in charge.

"Sure, go ahead, my love," Jer said and once again Malika cringed, though she tried her best not to make it show.

That term was a turnoff for her, though Malika wasn't in the least bit interested in Jer, well unless she had to chop his head off, which she would gladly do, even now, considering she had a blade in the shorts she wore under the damning gown she had to be convinced to wear by the Clarksons and her mistress.

"Okay," Malika said meekly as she got up to hug the confused Rukiya.

"Where is she?" Rukiya asked as they hugged, her voice so low, but she knew that Malika was well-trained to hear even the slightest of sounds and clearly she had heard her.

"Why, so you can see her and get your heart broken again? You do realize she doesn't give a shit about love, after she was betrayed?" Malika asked with a smile as Rukiya hugged her longer. The hug was unexpected but the people who were watching them, were glad that at least the Greyson alpha approved of Jer's new wife.

"Malika—" Rukiya began and Malika just let out a sigh as she pulled back from the hug, but not before shocking Rukiya even more.

"The wedding officiator," Malika said with a 'worried' smile.

"Oh yeah, don't worry, she won't leave, my love. Your dad convinced her to stay till the end for us," Jer said as he took Malika's hands into his, as the officiator passed by smiling at them.

The stage had been perfectly set, and it was time for the first dance.

"I thank the goddess for that," Malika said adorably, though Rukiya understood her message so clearly.

Awuor Hawi was their officiator.
