Winter-rose POV

"Ok," every eye turns to him. It was the first time he says anything this entire meeting and he chooses to agree.

"Really?" Taylor's voice cracked. 

"She said that we would have to be married not that we would have to be faithful to the marriage, correct?"

"Correct," she answered.

"Well we get married but I continue seeing Lady Taylor, once we deal with the problem we break the bond and Lady Taylor and I get married and mated for real,"

She smirked at him, "Never mess with the goddess your highness she is a petty woman,"

"And I am a man that is in love,"

"You say that, be careful you might end up loving someone that is not Lady Taylor,"

"Do you hate me?" she questions Chancellor Rosalía. The chancellor tilts her head, a dark look on her face.

"I care not if you wake in the morning nor if you sleep at night, Lady Taylor,"

"Now I know where you get it from?" Drake whispers to me.

"Good to know, and how would we explain it to the Kingdoms, two weeks ago we were seen going on a date by the press,"

"That's correct, we will hold it in two months then. We will get people to pose and you to get some shots. And leak that you two are secretly seeing each other,"

"You have an answer for everything don't you?" Taylor mumbles.

"Of course, I'm the best at what I do, Lady Taylor," my grandmother says.

"We will then announce the wedding three weeks before that,"

"Makes sense, know that if you hurt my daughter, King Damien, I will burn down your kingdom," my father promises.

"Sounds great," he smiled at my father, the smile cold and dark like his soul.

I sit straight up and hold my head higher," You two have agreed like it's the both of you that are to be married. Last I checked I was one of the people that might be getting married, and I would like to be included in the conversation,"

"There will be a wedding there is no might in the conversation,"

"And why would I marry you? You are a man who knows not what he wants nor does he fight for it. You claim to love her but once our bond was weakened you didn't mate her. Now you want me to marry you and keep her in the dark?"

"I have already angered the goddess, I would like to be in her good graces," he shrugs.

"If you cared so much about the graces you talk about, you would have done so many things differently. I'll accept to marry you but know that if she starts something I will finish it. I've stopped Thorne for a way to long watch your back bitch," I direct my last sentence towards Taylor.

"And you watch yours,"

"Now I have my mate to do so don't worry," Throne says with a sensual meaning behind her words.

"Oop," I heard Bean mumble.

"The wedding will be in three months during the True Loves moon. This moon is one that isn't celebrated because the True Queen found her mate on that day and her father disowned her that day. We will say we want to bring meaning back to the moon. We will spread rumors that we are talking, then we will have people pose as us to get pictures," I start to say," once the public is interested we let it cool down, and then wedding announcement. During that time people can be seen going into the castle to prepare for the wedding,"

"That's a great idea,"

"Are we done here?" my question wasn't intended to sound rude but it came out that way.

"Yes, any more information that needs further discussion will be held when needed,"

Everyone slowly starts to leave the room, ten minutes later there was only Wayland and me in the room.

After ten minutes of looking at each other without a word between us I get up and leave. When I step outside I feel the sun kissing my face, I look up to see an eagle flying in the sky. 

I walk down the steps and go over to the car, the driver opened the door for me.

"Looks like it's time for a wedding," I mumble, the only people in the car was me and the driver.

Good thing we never planned our dream marriage as a child.

"Yeah, what a good thing," I answer her back.

The car starts to move, I close my eyes and sit in a zen-like state. Anyone looking in at me would think that I'm sleeping but I'm not.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Royal weddings are hard to prepare for, some things must be done and things to be learned before the ' I do's '. Most if not all past mates to royals were commoners they would have to learn the way of the royals.

Some things must be done during the wedding. The bride must wear white to symbolize her pure love for her mate and her love for the kingdom she will help take care of. They do that for Wayland's kingdom.

Blue is worn in my kingdom before, during or after the wedding to symbolize our loyalty to the kingdom, the heavens, and our mate. It also means we were intelligent, confident, and wise, which isn't a lie.  

They want to add pink to the wedding to symbolize our love for each other. It's dumb due to there being no love. 

At this point, I'm ready to see what they planned. When I called Karl to let him know I need a dress for my wedding, he started crying and an hour later he stopped. He was talking about how I made his shitty day better with the big news.

He didn't even ask what I would like it to look like. He said that when I need it, it will be ready. Then I told him I needed two he started squealing then said "Best day eeevvveeeer now, I'll be able to die a happy unicorn,"

When the news hit that there will be a wedding everyone thought that it would be Wayland and Taylor's. Once they heard it was Wayland and mine they were shocked to say the lease. People thought it was a joke until the staged pictures of us started to come out in magazines, newspapers and online.

After they digested the news they started to say it's a true story of the power of the mate bond. The wedding was a big celebration that had millions of people around the world promising to watch it. Some people say that we wouldn't make it because of our differences while others say we would.

I sit down and look at my hair in the mirror.

After three months and extensions, my hair was back to its natural curly state. The High Court wouldn't want me getting married with grey hair. Even my mother would kill me if I got married with grey hair.

The dress for the wedding was the white one. It was beautiful, I know that all the details were hand sewn onto it. My future father-in-law gifted me with a crown, it hasn't been worn since the True Queen's mother's wedding.

I looked like I would belong on the cover of some magazine about rich weddings or something.

We were holding this ceremony at night at the peak of the moon. Many people weren't allowed to go to the wedding, there would be cameras so they could watch. The only people that are allowed are the families, the priest, the high court. There were people close by in case someone tried to interrupt the ceremony.

This one was very important.

Karl and his assistants help me put on the white dress and people come in to do my hair. They put on the crown on my head and a teardrop diamond necklace around my neck.

I look down at my nails that were are part of my rebellion against this wedding.

I got them done to piss some people off but they just smiled and said they loved it. I've noticed since the announcement they haven't told me much about my actions.

I could blow up an entire car every day before dawn and they would smile and say a good job.

It's annoying.

My father just rolls his eyes at my actions and let me be. That's the only good part about it for me. They don't want to annoy me more than regular.

"It's time to start the moon will be in place for only thirty minutes we have to hurry," my grandmother says.

I nod like the robot that I have felt like the last couple of days. I pick up the bouquet from the chair, I place a fake smile on my face.

I walk down to the beginning of the aisle ready to walk down and sign my life away to a man I don't love and who also doesn't love me.

They made it look beautiful with fairy lights that were magical crystals that are recording me walk down the aisle.

There were pink, blue and grey roses on the floor. I smile making it look like I'm the happiest person to be marrying the buffoon.

Wayland is waiting at the front for me in his suit. I bite my lip while still smiling, he smiles back at me if I didn't know better I would think that he was happy to see me. When I make it to the end of the aisle I hand my mother the bouquet and turn to face Wayland. We weren't allowed to touch until after we are married, I smile at him.

"We are gathered here tonight for the wedding of Damien and Winter, we are not looking at them like they are royals but two souls that have decided to bond during this night,"

Yeah right. 

My family was sitting and watching me. My mother had a small smile on her face but I know that it's fake, my father sat next to her, their hands intertwined together on his lap. Bean, Drake, and Diana sat in the row in the back of my parents. 

To the other side was Wayland's family. They were sitting in the same position as my side. The only difference is that August sat to the front row with his parents. His sister also sat at that row. His second row was filled with his delta and gamma.  The court was divided between the two halves.

They were looking at us, most of them had fake smiles on their faces making it look like they were happy to us getting married. 

"Let's begin the ceremony,"

I did most of it on my phone (Which I hate typing on) I haven't read through it. So excuse me. During the Christmas break, I'll be reading the entire book and adding things and/or removing things. I hope that everyone has an amazing Christmas or any other thing that they may celebrate during this time of year.
