Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

I was a little reluctant to let Harper go, but I had to. Damian was Harper's future. Damian's pack and the family they would create together. Oh, how I wished I could be part of it, to see their pups, to be their auntie and play with them.

But that wasn't in the cards for me. I had no room being selfish about Harper when I wasn't even going to be here.

So I plastered on a smile and was as happy as I could be getting ready for the ceremony.

After the makeup artist finished doing our makeup, a photographer came to the house, took a ton of photos, and recorded a video of Damian coming to pick up Harper.

After barging into the room with the wolves who were going to stand beside him at the mating ceremony, Damian excitedly carried Harper outside.

I followed behind with a smile, holding Harper's dress as best I could so it wouldn't trail on the ground behind them.

The mating ceremony was at the hotel first, to be followed by a huge banquet.

One of the things I loved seeing was how clearly Damian placed great importance on Harper. It was evident by the glow on his face, the way he looked at her, the way he held her arm and wrapped his hand around her waist.

Part of me was jealous she had someone like him, but the bigger part of me was so happy he loved her so much, so relieved that she would have him to take care of her and help her through losing me. Harper had no relatives; there was only me. And here at the ceremony, the only other person here as Harper's "family" was the orphanage's director.

Yet the hotel was full of guests, all of whom were relatives of Damian.

The main theme of the ceremony was romance under the starry sky. Twinkle lights were strung over the ceiling, creating a tapestry of stars above everyone.

It couldn't have been more perfect for a pair of wolf shifters.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Harper's white ceremony gown almost glittered under the faux night sky. She looked absolutely radiant from head to toe standing at one end of the stage. The starlights shone on her from a distance as if she were bright and dazzling in the Milky Way.

When she crossed the stage and placed her hand in Damian's, tears filled my eyes.

From this moment on, Harper would start a new life, and I would no longer have any regrets about leaving her behind.

Just as Damian was about to put the diamond ring on Harper's finger, a voice interrupted them.

"Why didn't you invite me to such a grand wedding?"
