The Alpha's Contract Luna novel Chapter 10

~Alexia~

“Make her so beautiful that Kieran’s jaws will drop!” Rae suggested as a stylist began with the hair and makeup.

The stylist giggled with Rae as Alexia glared at her friend. She said, “Not helping, Rae.”

“Trust me, Alexia, I am helping,” Rae said before another chuckle escaped her lips.

An hour passed after carefully doing her hair and makeup; Alexia was done. Rae and the stylist rushed her to wear her gown and her shoes. After which, she faced the full-length mirror inside the guest room.

Kieran did not want guests to enter the fourth floor. All wedding preparations were made on the second floor of the packhouse.

“Oh, my Goddess!” Alexia could not believe her eyes. She looked like a princess, no, more like a queen!

Her hair was tied into a gorgeous bun, with little strands falling into her face. A small crown sparkled over her head. She wore light makeup, but it was enough to put a glow on her face.

“So beautiful!” Rae exclaimed.

“I’m so happy for Alpha Kieran. The king chose a beautiful luna for him,” the stylist expressed.

Behind Alexia, Lydia and the other maids voiced their contentment, seeing her in her gown and makeup.

After everyone in the room had praised Alexia, Rae walked up to her, fixing every inch of her gown. She chuckled and suggested, “Alpha Kieran is going to fall in love with you for sure.”

Her face turned tomato red as she scolded, “Rae, please. Stop it. If Alpha hears you, I’m in big trouble.” With a sigh, she added, “You are going to be the death of me.”

“Haha!” Rae scoffed and answered, “I’m telling you, he is the one in big trouble.”

Alexia was left with perplexity throughout the rest of the preparation. Thanks to Rae’s suggestion, she wondered if it meant she could have a real marriage with Kieran.

Of course, whenever she thought about it, she would be reminded of how this was all a sham, a mere show for the king. Very quickly, she realized the king would grace their wedding. Her eyes lit up with the realization that she could ask the king why he chose her for Kieran, that and many more questions that dawdled in her head.

The ceremony proceeded as scheduled.

The event began with King Balthasar and Queen Helen being welcomed. The wedding was held on the green lawn that extended behind the packhouse. Lush pines bordered the estate and gave the surrounding air the refreshingly sweet scent of nature.

Huge tents covered the seats and tables that were scattered precisely across the yard. A stage was set up at the very front. To the left, a unique table was designated for the king and queen.

Alexia could only watch from a window inside the packhouse as she was yet to make her grand entrance.

Little by little, guests arrived, taking their respective seats. After everyone was settled in their places, Kieran appeared before the crowd. He held his chin up as he walked gracefully to the front, his hand buttoning the black suit that hugged his broad frame perfectly.

“That’s your cue, Alexia! Get ready!” Lydia, the omega, guided her to the packhouse’s backdoor.

Finally, when it was time for the bride to march, the double doors opened, and Alexia made her slow entrance.

At first, Alexia held her head down, but recalling Rae’s reminder, she forced a smile and lifted her face. Immediately, she locked eyes with Kieran. Her heart fluttered. There was tenderness in his eyes that she did not recognize. More than that, she thought he looked very handsome that day.
