Alpha's Last Minute Bride

4

Daniel’s POV

.

I couldn’t express my happiness when I lifted my gaze from the floor and felt a rush of emotion swirl

straight to my heart as my mate made her way down the aisle all dressed up in a pretty white wedding

gown. The wedding gown they had chosen for her was perfect for her figure, it left me wondering

whether they had already planned this all incident or they had planned her marriage to someone else

who was not me.

I felt instant rage at that thought.

‘Okay, fine! Don’t spoil our mood by thinking all those stupid thoughts.’, My wolf suggested. “Our mate

looks so beautiful in her wedding gown.’, He added and I couldn’t help myself from agreeing with him.

I tried to hide any more emotions from my face as Evangeline reached near me.

‘Her name is too long. How about we call her ‘Angel’?’,

‘Not bad. I liked it.’

‘Our mate, Our angel’, He said and the whole time my eyes were on her. Her hands-on her father Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

shook and her eyes were on the ground. Not once did she look my way. Well, what else could I expect

from a bride who was blackmailed to marry?

Her father didn’t look happy as he let go of her hands so that she could stand opposite to me. Nor her

stepmother. Talking about my family, even they didn’t look happy at all.

Why?

Because half of them had thought that I was getting married to a weak human just for the sake of the

pack. While others were feeling sorry for my mate because they knew what kind of person I was!

Angel? On the other hand, I couldn’t figure out what she was thinking or feeling and she was the one I

actually wanted to know about.

Did any part of her want this wedding to happen?

And should it matter to me?

“Please hold her hands.”, The father ordered. Angel forwarded her hands toward me and I didn’t waste

any single second to hold it. The spark ran all around my body when her small warm hand clasped

around mine.

I knew even she could feel the same but just because I was an Alpha, the feeling was ten times

stronger than any human.

As the ceremony started, my wolf started dancing in joy because this time he was ready for the

wedding unlike yesterday, he was actually happy today.

“I do”

“I do”

And with those two words, I finally got my mate, my mate as my wife now.

It sounds so good.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!”

My body was excited and felt over the moon after hearing this.

Kiss the bride!

I want to kiss her senselessly but observe her discomfort. I was not sure whether it was a good idea or

not. She wasn’t looking directly at me as if she was avoiding my eyes for some reason.

I hated that.

I wanted her to look at me just like I was looking at her. My eyes fell on her pretty pink lips and I had a

deep urge to claim it as soon as possible. I lifted her veil and lifted her chin to make her look at me but

she had already closed her eyes.

Nope! This is not happening!

If I am going to kiss her then she must look into my eyes.

“Open your eyes, Evangeline.”

Her entire body went still at my demand and slowly she opened her blue eyes, deep and clear as the

ocean. And just like the ocean, her eyes were silent as well as dangerous at the same time.

Without further warning, I gripped her waist with my other hand and crashed my lips to her. I could feel

that she was not prepared for it, that’s why I quickly pulled away from her. Also, my other reason to pull

away from her was that I didn’t want anyone to feel that I was into her since the very first day and she

was my mate.

“You may mark your Luna, Alpha Daniel.”, I heard the father saying at which the excitement level of my

wolf increased and my pack members howled in happiness. But the excitement of my wolf died when

we both smelt fear, fear of our mate.

By looking at her, anyone could tell that she was standing confidently without any fear but the truth was

far away from reality. I clenched my jaw, angry that the first thing I thought about was stopping her

discomfort and fear.

‘I want to mark her at this very moment but….we have to give her some time.’

‘I was going to say the same.’, I said and we nodded together in an understanding way. After all, our

mate had faced a lot of things in one single day.

“I am not going to mark her.”, I announced, making everyone silent. ‘At least, not now.’ I wanted to add

that but my big ego didn’t let me say that. “Get all your belongings from your room. We will be leaving

for our home in half an hour.”, I said to her with a poker face on which my wolf was scolding me.

‘You could have said those words with love.’

‘Whatever.’

***

The time of half an hour was about to end and at that moment I realized that something was wrong.

Angel’s scent wasn’t as strong as it was half an hour ago. But that couldn’t be right, she couldn’t have

run away from here just after our marriage.

Even my wolf started getting restless.

“Daniel, I wanted to talk about your bride. Why did you..”, My Aunt stopped asking me that question

when she observed my expression. “What happened, son?”

“I’m not sure.”, I answered as both I and my wolf were trying to focus on her scent. “By the way, you

were saying something, Aunt?”

“Was it necessary to marry a human?”

“Yes it was for…our family reputation.”, I answered her. I could feel she wanted to ask some more

questions but I was already on my way to her room, looking for her. The last thing I remembered, I had

asked her to collect her things from her room. My heart was racing as I climbed the steps two at a time.

The closer I got, the more worried I became. If she was in there, I should be able to hear her, or at least

her scent would hit me a lot stronger than before. None of that was happening.

I slammed the door open in a rush and scanned the room.

‘You could have opened the door calmly. Now observing your anger and behavior, everyone will get to

know that our angel is not here.’, My wolf tried to calm my anger.

‘NOT A WORD. NOT A SINGLE WORD.’

“Evangeline?”, I called her name and stormed into the washroom when I didn’t hear her answer my

call. I looked around and found a rope, made up of curtains and bedsheets thrown out of the window. I

checked that the rope was almost touching the ground.

Immediately the understanding and the calm wolf was long gone, he started fuming in anger just like

me. My fist tightened at my sides and I held back on punching the wall.

‘She shouldn’t have run away from us.’, He muttered in anger and I didn’t waste a single second

jumping from her window. I sniffed in the air and realized in which direction our mate had left.

‘Bad move, angel’, I smirked before morphing into the big silver wolf and running in the direction of our

mate, following her scent.
