THE DAY OF MY MARRIAGE

The main line

It's the line between the main empire the territory of werewolf. On the one side it was the prosperous city on the other side people living in jungle.

People have dreams about their marriage right? A dream to marry the man they fall in love with. A dream to dress up in white long dress holding a flower in hand and walking towards the well dressed groom who couldn't control his tears looking at you in the wedding dress.

Me too! I also had those dreams until today.

My mom is clinging to me weeping uncontrollably my dad is looking at me as if he is sending me to hell while I am sitting on the carriage warping my arm around my mom's neck, feeling her warmth for the last time.

I want to feel it to the point that I can live without this for the rest of my life. Dad's eyes are getting wet time to time while as he is hiding his face to wipe it, does he think no one saw his tears. Such a fool.

Lila is sitting on the other side of the carriage clenching onto the bag she filled with food and clothes that she is carrying for herself. Her arm is warped around the bag while her face is resting on the bag, eyes horrified like she is waiting for sentence of death.

It's my wedding right? Why does people are so sad around me? So what if I am not being wed the man I don't love....so what if my husband is a lunatic....so what if the man I am marring is a half animal and half human....so what if they want to torture me....so what I will not be able to see you guys again. My eyes started to get hot....the tears that I have been holding, i seem to cannot hold it in anymore.

The hot tears slide down my eyes and I started to cry like a child. "You....hic you guys mustn't worry too much about me"

"You know Lila is with me and I am not that weak"

"I can take care of myself"

Mom started to cry loudly while dad couldn't hide it anymore and warped his arm around as his tears were overflowing.

"I will surely find a way to save you honey...you know daddy.....daddy will never let you get hurt" he voice shuttered. He kisses my head roughly while the tears was flowing of his eyes.

"I will miss you guys---"

Suddenly the door the carriage opens with a thud. A soldier holding a sword gestures me to get down "please come down my lady"

As I walked outside, what I saw was something new for me.

The whole empire was standing on this side of the line, to witness a marriage that never in history happened before.

Some people holding a curious eyes wondering on my face, some were laughing and some were gossiping. But everyone was eager to see the woman who is being send as a sacrifice for this peace treaty.

I have never seen an werewolf before so ignoring the gazes of people I moves my face towards the main line, the main line was guarded by soldiers wearing armor and holing swords.

I was wearing a white dress. Ofcourse I will wear a white dress, no matter how bad this seem but it's still my wedding. I lift my dress up from both side so I wouldn't trip over and make fun of myself on this auspicious occasion.

As I walked ahead with my mom, dad and Lila, three soldiers came foreword to block the path of my parents and Lila.

"Wait what are you doing" I said with a frown between my brows

"They aren't allowed to go further...it's dangerous there" the soldiers said

I see

"Let that girl go she is going with me" I pointed at Lila

"No!! Only you are allowed" he said with a tone that wasn't pleasing at all, and he seem to not care about it

Okay that's annoying!! I lifted my dress from both side and stomps towards the soldiers "look.....if you do not back down now, it might not end in a good way for you"

my tone has a cold sharpness as I leaned towards him "If i am late even one minute, because of you then the king will surely kill you for it"

"And you know what!.... he wouldn't give a second thought before doing it" my tone was low almost like a whisper

I didn't know it will but it did! My words left a impact on him, ofcourse it will do since being with him for few hours I knew what type of devil he is so these people, who hang around him all day long must already know what type of devil he is.

Although I don't feel good for using that bastard's name...I smiled at the soldiers as he let Lila come forward....I can't do anything here "Thanks handsome"

I held Lila's wrist and pulled him towards me as my gaze fell on the, down and worried face of my parents. I had a lot to say to them but maybe if I stop to tell them it will take days.

Their face was flickering with sadness, their eyes were still wet as their lips were continuously opening and closing as if I wasn't the only one who has a lot to say.

"DON'T SLEEP WITH WET HAIR...OR YOU CAUGHT COLD" My mom shouts with waving her hand. "DO NOT STAY UP ALL NIGHT READING BOOKS AND----" her voice got hoarse her face has lines of pain she was feeling in her throat, it was getting hard for her to even gulp down the salvia, as her eyes again overflows with hot tears "and.....and ....do not eat snacks at night"

My mom broke done, her knees finally gave up as she was about to fall, dad caught her. His eyes were also wet as he was clenching his jaw.

My heart was torn apart....I could feel it bleeding inside my chest. I didn't know when I stabbed my nails in Lila's wrist but she didn't made a sound.

I don't want them to worry about me. I smiled at them brightly showing all my teeth with tears drops glittering at the corner of my eyes. Wave hand "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ME I WILL BE FINE"

Suddenly I felt a someone grabbing my arm above my elbow and being drag towards the main line.
