Now though, Ryton Yu knew better. He did not fake his smiles anymore. He did not play nice. Roberts was upset. Jason Meeks was livid. He didn't care anymore. He was not going to do whatever they wanted any longer.
It earned a longer sentence of working at the fields and zero food going home with him, but he was fine. He had enough to eat for a bit. He could run away. He could go search for Moon and apologize to her. He would do it.
Soon.
As the space was filled and music surrounded them, people began taking their places. The leader of Rosemount and Springcall stood on opposite ends. Bruin Huffman walked to the front of the place and bowed to the leader of Rosemount. She placed a pink cord around his neck and whispered some words over his bent head.
Bruin stood back up and Rebecca walked down the aisle with her face covered in makeup. Purple hair curled and pinned up, while wearing her city's color: pink. She smiled at him and Bruin would admit Rebecca was pretty, but he was not new to fake smiles and looks. He held out his hand and she accepted it.
Standing before one another, Rebecca mimicked what he did earlier. Head bent into a bow, the leader of Springcall placed a blue cord over her neck and whispered words. Once that was done, both the soon to be married couple stared at each other with their hands in the other.
As the first blessings was being spoken, in walked the leader of Northham. Purple hair and red eyes, the man strutted in as if he didn't just interrupt the wedding. He looked at the couple, bowed, and went to sit with the other leaders at the front.
Sitting beside the old leader of Dragonport, he noticed everyone staring at him. Leaning back and lifting a leg to cross over, he waved them to continue.
"Old man, did I miss a lot?" He whispered to the old leader.
"Just started," the man narrowed his eyes at him.
Nodding, Eddrick looked at the female who would be the wife of Bruin Huffman, the incredibly annoying blonde. Ah, he was right! This was going to be so boring! As he listened to the boring old man saying some love shit, he sighed and crossed his arms.
"With the blessings of your leaders, Bruin Huffman and Rebecca Jackson are to be tied as one for as long as they live. Now, please exchange the rings as your agreement of commitment," The old man stated.
Bruin stared at the ring he pulled out of his pocket and Rebecca stared at him with slightly narrowed eyes. He hesitated and he thought… he wished…
"Heh," he let out a chuckle and shook his head.
Taking a deep breath, he moved the ring and pressed it to the tip of Rebecca's finger tip and-
The doors slammed opened and all eyes turned to see a raven haired female with wide purple eyes. They were watery and there were splotches of red along her cheeks. The sound of a shout got closer and the female ran to the wall and exited through the side door.
"Moon!"

(Earlier in the day)
The Moon Goddess was frowning.
After being tossed out of a carriage, she went to the safety of her forest. Hugging her dear friends, she thought about what she could do. She pulled out the map her dear brother gave her and knelled down on the grass. Unrolling the map, she sighed and tucked her loose strand behind her ears.
She had gone through all 9 cities and found those she deemed worthy, but she was unable to mark.
She thought of each men and found herself thinking about what her brother asked her. Was she being too harsh on her people? Yes, she wanted someone to hit each mark of her requirements, but was it too high?
Was she being too picky?
No family. No lover. Fully devoted to her.
'That wasn't too much, was it?'
Daniels Barrett of Wolftown had a brother and was someone the city depended on. Yet, she wanted to mark him even when he had a family.
Ryton Yu, a worker in the fields of Winterhallow had no family, and wished to runaway with her, but wished to kill her as well.
Cayden James, the doctor of Flathand, was devoted to her, had no lover, but had grandparents. His city needed him.
Rei Solis of Dragonport was a sweet child like man who saved her from punishment, but he had a father who led his people with dictatorship. The city of Dragonport needed him more.
Bruin Huffman, the top warrior of Springcall had no family but was loyal to the leader of the city. He was not devoted to her and was going to be married.
Torrence Waller of Baystall, a scarred man, was truly devoted to her and had no family, but was unwilling to be her alpha.
Charles Anthony and Benjamin Anthony, twins of Oxharbor, were differences of each other, but she thought they could be her alphas. However, they had a mother and they were not devoted to her.
Eddrick Griffin of Northham was… shameless. Obsessive but truly devoted with no lover, he was a leader of his city.
Clete Jackson the fisherman she had met. She wasn't sure where he came from, but he was someone he thought might be her chosen. That was until she learned he had sisters, a family.
She pointed at Rosemount and sighed to herself. She had not done much in Rosemount because she ended up almost drowning with the fisherman. She hummed to herself and patted her bunnies surrounding her. They made her look like she was surrounded in snow from their white furs.
"I should go back to Rosemount. Maybe I will find someone this time," she whispered and looked up toward the sun, "Brother, don't be too worried. I have tonight and some time before your sun rises."
Rolling up the map and tucking it in her sleeves, she looked over to her wolf.
"My dear Wolfie," she smiled petting her wolf, "Take me to Rosemount as fast as you can."
