With the screams and applause of my people, there was no way to hide it now. They knew I had found my Luna and their queen. Now I only needed her answer, only needed to know if she accepted to be mine forever and to perform the union ceremony.
We returned to the castle, and I was more anxious than ever. I left her sitting on my bed while I searched for the ring to propose. It was rose gold with a rare stone, a blue diamond that came from the fairy world. Angel, the Queen of the Fairies, gifted me with a blue diamond that only existed in her realm when I assumed the throne, and since then, I've kept this alliance to gift to my future queen.
I knelt in front of Zaya and made my request.
*Noah*
Zaya, my love, do you accept to be my Luna and my queen forever? I promise to love and care for you for all eternity.
Zaya
Yes, my love, it's all I ever wanted.
My heart swelled with joy. I placed the ring on her finger and kissed her with the urgency of someone who needs air to breathe. I urgently needed to speak with the elders; I wanted to marry her this weekend. I seemed so excited and happy that I was afraid I was dreaming.
Noah
Let's speak with the elders. We can get married this weekend!
I spoke with so much excitement and, at the same time, fear of my urgency to be bound to her forever. But instead of being scared, she smiled and said:
Zaya
Let's talk to them then.
We went to see the five elders. Of course, they already knew what it was about; the news had spread quickly. I believe the other realms must also know about us.
Noah
"Hello, Frederick. We are here to speak about our union."
Frederick
"Hello, Your Majesties. We are immensely happy for you, King Noah. When do you intend to unite?"
Noah
This weekend.
Frederick
"So soon! But I understand, it has been years of waiting, Your Majesty. Very well, I will perform your union on Saturday morning."
Frederick's gaze on Zaya bothered me a little. He looked at her as if he knew her from somewhere.
Noah
"Frederick, have you met my mate before?"
Frederick
"Oh no, Your Majesty. She just reminds me of someone very important to me, that's all. Just an old man's memories."
Zaya
"It was a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Frederick, and the other elders as well."
Frederick
"Call me Frederick, Your Majesty. The pleasure is all ours."
I don't know. This old man was hiding something. He probably knew about Zaya's family and was keeping things from us. After all, they were three thousand years old. They even knew Serena personally. I called them old because of their age, but in appearance, they were exactly like all young people, at the peak of their strength, and no one should underestimate them. Besides being strong, they were wiser than anyone else in the kingdom.
We were having lunch and talking about the ceremony. My mother looked like she was going to have a fit; you'd think she was the one getting married.
Noah
Mother, don't forget, Zaya will choose everything.
Zaya
Don't worry, my love, your mother is just giving me suggestions.
Oh my God, speaking of mothers, my parents don't know I'm here.
Noah
Your human parents know. I let them know you're okay.
I realized that even though she had been deceived by them for five years, she truly loved them. So I would treat them as best as possible.
The invitations were quickly prepared, and I asked Segnora to enchant them so they would reach the other realms.
Segnora representing the witch world;
Angel representing the fairy world;
Thanatos representing the world of the dead;
Joseph representing the human world like his ancestors;
And unfortunately, to avoid further discord,
Valek representing the vampire world.
These invitations were special and essential; they were the representatives of the Council of Worlds, and inviting them to the wedding meant keeping the peace.
The preparations seemed endless. It would be so much easier to have an intimate ceremony, just me and my beloved. But what could I do? I was the damn king, a public figure, and I had to keep the peace and make my people happy. And my people were looking forward to a Luna Queen almost as much as I was looking forward to a soulmate.
Eve of the wedding
The days seemed to fly by; today was already the eve of our union ceremony, or wedding. I got slapped by my mother when I opened the door and almost caught my partner trying on one of her dresses. Poor Zaya, my mother seemed to be playing dolls with her. Good thing I brought her mother yesterday to help her, but it didn't seem to help; she was almost as bad as my mother. I'd never seen women so agitated. I definitely needed some time alone with her.
After I was released to enter the room, I hugged her and transported us to the lakeside. She looked and smiled at me.
Zaya
This is my dream place; this is where the black wolf tries to approach my white wolf.
Noah
Zaya, your wolf is white?
Zaya
Yes, she is entirely white, and her fur shines like moonlight.
For a moment, I was silent. Since I was a boy, I'd always heard legends of a white wolf, but no one had ever seen one, even the elders said they had never seen one. As I got lost in thought, she transformed into her wolf. She was beautiful, entirely white with lilac eyes. Zaya could only be a direct descendant of Serena.
I stroked her thick fur, and my wolf wanted to come out, but I didn't let him. If he came out, he would mark her before the ceremony.
I turned my back with great effort because, of course, I wanted to see her body even more in the daylight. Still, I turned around so she could get dressed. Then she transformed back and put on her clothes.
Zaya
Noah, I want to see your wolf.
Noah
I don't know if that's a good idea.
Zaya
Please, I trust you.
So, I transformed. My black wolf seemed like a cuddly puppy next to Zaya, grumpy, naughty wolf. But at least he was so calm. He licked her face, and she smiled, petting his snout. For today, that was enough, so I transformed back into my human form and saw Zaya's face turn as red as apples. I was comfortable with my masculinity; I promised I wouldn't see her, but I didn't say I wouldn't show off to her. Despite her red face, I could see the lust in her eyes for me. I grabbed her waist and pulled her with me to the lake. I could hear her little screams and laughter.
