Chapter 8
The weekend came quickly and Carla was all over the house fussing. It took Carsen to calm her down.
She loved extravagance and this event was the perfect place to show it off. She was completely on edge all morning.
When she finally calmed down, I was waiting for her in her room to do her hair and makeup. She looked at me and said, " This is so exciting. Oh, sister, I wish you knew such happiness. He is so handsome and caring. I wish you could find someone like that."
So do I but Prince Charming's only notice the beautiful Cinderella's in the world and their sisters get written off as the bad guys.
" Hold still," I whisper and finally respond to Carla. All morning she has been treating me like her servant but next week is the wedding and then I can go home and not have to worry about any of this ever again.
I put some foundation on a makeup sponge and stay silent as I spread it on her face. Her hands suddenly start shaking and she says, " Adrianna, bring me a glass of vodka or whiskey quickly. I'll jump out this window if you don't right now." There she goes again, treating me like her servant. I nodded and go downstairs.
There Vincent was pacing the kitchen, mouthing what he was supposed to say for the ceremony. He was doing this while staring at the behemoth of a cake Carla ordered. It was all white and covered in icing that was shaped like roses. That is a lot of leftovers. I thought to myself as I started up at it.
I laugh inwardly. " That is an excessive cake." He turned around and jumped. I laughed, " I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you. I was just saying that cake. I mean, it's huge."
He looked up at it, " That is a lot of leftovers." He looked up at it and in his eyes was a tiny bit of regret, " You know, I always wanted a small wedding. I would just want some close friends and family. Maybe by the beach where the waves would be calming in our ears and it would be quiet. It's stupid, I know."
I look at him. It's funny, that's always been my dream wedding. Ever since I was a little girl," When I was a little girl, I dreamed of having a wedding by the sea too. My mother used to take me and my brother there before Carla was born and it would almost be like she was there with me."
He looked down at me, tenderness in his eyes. We stared at each other for a little bit. What is it with us staring at each other? It feels as if he's staring into my soul. I quickly look away though and take the glass of vodka up to Carla.
She had done her hair and makeup without me. She scolded me and I had to apologize but I help her put on her dress and practice for the ceremony while the guests arrived downstairs.
One guest did come upstairs to see Carla. It was my grammy, Cordelia. Grammy Cordelia is my mother's mother. She is an oracle which means she can tell a person's future and she can detect "soulmates" as well. She always said that Selene herself, the goddess of the moon and soulmates gave her the power.
She saw my sister in her dress and clasped her hands. " My, my, don't you just look lovely." Carla smiled and kissed her cheek, " Thank you, grammy." She smiled in return.
I cleared my throat, " Hello, grammy."
She looked over at me then. She went frozen. " Adrianna." She walked over to me with tears in her eyes and cupped my cheeks. " Oh my dear Adrianna, you look just like your mother." She smiled and covered her mouth and her voice cracked, " She would be so proud of you both."
" The ceremony will start soon," Carla said coldly and walked down to Carsen. I was going to go follow her with her flowers but grammy soon stopped me.
Her eyes flashed a pale silver color and she said in a light, soft voice, " My dear, you are a special girl. You have what people in the wolf world can only dream of. You have a true soul mate. Your souls were connected at birth. This is an extremely rare deal, don't let anyone tell you you shouldn't be with him." What the hell? This was too weird. Grammy's eyes turn back to normal and so does her voice. " You ready to go down sweetie?" I stay quiet and nod.
I drive to the sacred ceremonial hall and walk behind Carla, holding her train. She, of course, looked beautiful and Vincent looks so joyful to see her. My father walked her down the aisle, something I know he wouldn't do for me.
Vincent and Carla kneeled down next to each other and the ceremony began.
What happens in a soul ceremony is the couple ( in this case Vincent and Carla) hold hands and a priest blesses their relationship. The couple anxiously wait as their spirit wolves come into form, their smiles growing. Then, their wolves come together and their souls are united.
That did not happen this time though. There was a major accident. Vincent and Carla's spirit wolves did come into the human world but then suddenly, his wolf, Tarz ran towards me and circled me multiple times. Then, my wolf, North came into the spirit world as well.
Mine and Vincent's wolves were now officially connected in spirit form. That means Vincent and I were as well. As soon as our souls were connected, the moon's glow made a halo around us. Selene had made her choice... we had to be together. There is no going back now.
