Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

It was a perfect day for a wedding. The sun peeked brightly as though it were also excited for what was about to happen.

Alyssa walked down the aisle, with the bouquet in her hands and a wide smile on her lips. Her hair was arranged in an elaborate style on top of her head, and her white glittery ball room dress swished almost silently on the carpet aisle.

A song rang through her mind relating to love and the aisle. If you go down the aisle when you’re in love, you would be happy forever!

She caught sight of Liam’s cousins daughter who was the little bride of the day. The little girl sprinkled pink petals on the aisle just as she walked on it.

It was a big wedding and since Liam was the King, it wasn’t surprising that many guests had come for the event.

The aisle suddenly looked long and Alyssa only prayed that her feet would not give her away. Her legs were shaking fervently and her eyes were lowered to the ground.

She was nervous, anxious and excited. She looked up after a while and caught sight of Liam who was waiting with the elder. She smiled in relief when she realized that it was almost the end of the aisle walk.

Finally, she stood before Liam who couldn’t help smiling.

The elder started with the different wedding sermon, none of which Alyssa or Liam paid attention to. They were mostly concerned with getting him to announce them as husband and wife.

It was now time for them to read their vows. This was the most anticipated part for Alyssa and Liam .

Liam cleared his throat as he braced up to go first.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“When I saw you first , I knew that something great was happening in my life. And when you finally came into my life, I knew that it was a miracle. You brought peace and made me realize that life was worth living. Your voice was the sweetest I’ve ever heard and there’s this calmness it brings to my soul each time I hear it. Your patience is out of this world and the pureness of your heart is the sweetest. I want life with you, today and forever. You are the goddess of my life and the one I want to call my own, now and forever. I promise to protect you, no matter how hard the case may be. I would be there to make you smile and never would I hurt you again or make you cry”, Liam said and blinked off the tears that welled up in his eyes.

“You are the greatest gift I’ve had in my life and I would protect it by all cost!” Liam said and stared at Alyssa calmly.

“I promise!” He whispered emotionally.

Alyssa wiped off the tears that had trickled from the side of her eyes.

It was now her turn to say her vows.

“I came into your life as a mere servant . But then, you never treated me like a servant that I was. You ensured that you protected me with every of your strength, even if there was no need to. The truth is that I’m proud I fell in love with you. We all have our weak sides as humans, but no matter what, I still love you. I promise to stand by you, no matter how things turn out to be. You would be my husband and partner!” Alyssa said and finally broke into tears. She had planned to read a very long message to him, but her emotions were getting the better part of her.

The guests wiped the tears off their eyes. This had to be the sweetest couple they’ve set their eyes on in a while.

“I now pronounce them husband and wife!” The Elder said and different sounds rented the air. The sounds of trumpets, music and applause came through and Alyssa dropped the breath that was hung on her chest.

“Finally!” Emily whispered as she caught sight of the crown that was being bright towards them, in a gold palette.

Her heart raced in excitement as it dawned on her that it was finally happening. She was about to be queen.

“With the power vested on me, I now pronounce you the queen of Venice”, the elder said as he lifted a staff across Alyssa’s face.

He gestured for Liam to take the crown to his bride.

Liam picked up the crown that laid on the gold palette and just as he did, a wide smile spread across his face. Alyssa was finally going to be his wife and queen.

He walked closer to Alyssa who was already shivering inwardly. She glanced to the side of the aisle and found Tiffany who was her maid of honor. She was smiling widely and nodding her head to encourage her.

“You may now kiss your bride and queen “, the elder announced and Liam  winked at Alyssa  who blushed.

They kissed passionately. There was something different about this one…it was their first kiss since they became man and wife. It felt really good!

Alyssa had planned the menu herself. There was turkey, roast beef, steak, mashed potatoes, and an assortment of sauces. For drinks there was champagne, soda, and water. There was an ice cream bar with numerous flavors since the wedding planner had suggested it. And of course there was the giant wedding cake. Alyssa spotted a bowl of jelly beans and discreetly dipped her hands into the bowl and pulled out a handful. She picked up a brown one that looked like toffee and nearly spit it out. Alas, Earwax, She thought.

“Having fun?” Alyssa asked her as he leaned closer to her ear.

Alyssa chuckled and wrapped her hands around his neck.

“Everything is fun now! I mean, for the first time, nothing disrupted a happy day”, Alyssa said and started laughing aloud.

That was the truth. Most times, she thought that she was cursed, never to be happy.

“Well, you would be happy forever now!” Liam said and picked up two glasses of wine.

He handed one over to Alyssa who collected it with a bright smile.

“To a happy life together”, he lifted the glass up with a grin.

“Cheers!” Alyssa responded and hit the glass across his.

Timothy ran over to them in a jiffy. They had been so busy all through the day that they hardly caught sight of him. He was glad in a small suit that gave him a cute look.

“Look at my boy!” Liam said excitedly as he lifted him up and swirled him around while he giggled.

Alyssa chuckled too as she gazed around and took in a deep breath. Everything looked great and for the first time in her life, she was having a chance at happiness.

She touched her crown and chuckled as Liam led her to the podium where the people were waiting to behold her.

“Behold the new queen of Venice, queen Alyssa!” Liam announced to the people as he raised Alyssa’s hand in excitement.

Cheers rented the air as people started showering their different voices of prayers across to her.

“You will live long”, they said while she nodded her head and waved at them.

“This isn’t just a start for me as the queen of Venice. It’s the start of finding out who I am. I’m nowhere close to figuring that out, but until I do, I would have no rest”, Alyssa thought silently as she smiled at Liam who caressed her hands lovingly.
