Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

My mother had no relatives left, and my father didn’t have any relatives of high status, so I decided: I’d broken more than one or two traditions anyway, so why should I care about these minor details?

In addition to the girls, I had a new group of concierges in the afternoon. More children were standing in the line as flower boys and girls, holding hands with the big brothers and sisters to prevent them from running away. Their little flower baskets were filled with soft flower petals. Some were curious and secretly took out a few to play with.

I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard the girls retelling these scenes to me.

No matter which family they came from, no matter what position their family had, it didn’t matter to children of this age. It was their nature to pursue freedom and happiness. How beautiful this was!

I liked children, and when I was a girl, I had imagined how many children I would have in the future – it would be best if I had a lovely daughter and a naughty son. I would educate them into intelligent and healthy adults and watch them form families and live happily. Every time I fantasize about it, I feel extremely happy and satisfied.

There were many fantasies in a young girl’s life. Ordinary ones, such as finding true love, while fantasy stories, such as her legendary life, could be heard. Now, many of my childish fantasies have come true. Will my children go along with my wishes?

With the experience from this morning, I easily completed the entire process. As I held hands with Aldrich and stood on the stage, I secretly made a face at him.

The oath for this wedding was much longer. The priest probably wished he could write all the well-wishes in the classics into the wedding oath. After listening to it for a long time, I felt like I was listening to an appreciation class on classical literature.

Our wedding rings were part of the royal family’s collection. Two huge rubies, each twenty-five carats on average, glistened under the diamonds as if they were declaring our bright future.

Wearing the ring, under the priest’s declaration, we kissed politely in front of the guests –

Thunderous applause and cheers swept through the temple. The people waiting outside the temple also cheered when they heard the official’s announcement. For a moment, the sound of celebration resounded through the sky, and the whole Lycan Pack was in a festive mood.

Aldrich and I sat on the carriage and paraded to the people. The people didn’t have any negative emotions toward this sudden marriage. I even saw many banners and posters that wished Aldrich and my happiness. I was touched and happy, holding back my tears as I waved to the cheering people.

Celebrating a wedding was more open than celebrating a coronation. Even the guards were not as rigid and serious as they were during the day. The groomsmen, bridesmaids, and guests of honor sat in convoy behind Aldrich and me, following the tradition of throwing flowers and ribbons blessed by the temple to the people. Young men and women pinned fresh flowers in their hair or chests and tied ribbons around their wrists, hoping to find true love as soon as possible.

The ball was to be held in the palace, which was not open to the public.

After the opening dance with Aldrich, we enjoyed ourselves until the middle of the night, and then we were surrounded by the guests and led into the bedroom.

The elders threw flowers and seeds at us, and our friends carried us and put us on our beds. After the process, they left considerately, even though their smiles were so meaningful.

The sudden silence made me feel a little uncomfortable. This silence also amplified the shyness and anxiety in my heart.

I did not dare to look at Aldrich, and he did not say a word. In the endless silence, I finally mustered up the courage to sneak a glance at him. I noticed that his ears were as red as a tomato.

I didn’t know why, but I burst out laughing. Then, I couldn’t help but laugh so much that I almost fell off the bed. Aldrich’s pretense of calmness also fell through. He helplessly pulled me back from the edge of the bed and mumbled, “You’re making me lose face by laughing at me like this...”

It was fine if he didn’t speak, but I wanted to laugh even more when he did. Aldrich pretended to be fierce as he pounced over to cover my mouth.

We joked around without restraint and didn’t know which action started the fire, but everything changed without us knowing.

The night was long under the deep curtains.

The next day, I woke up to the crisp chirping of birds. The warm sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains, creating a dazzling golden light. I thought it was noon.

Aldrich squinted as he lay beside me. Seeing that I had woken up, he lazily greeted me. “Good morning, my dear wife.”

I kissed his cheek and said, “Good Morning, my beloved husband.”

We lazily hugged each other in bed, neither willing to get out of bed, as if this soft and wide bed was the only thing left in the world.

I was about to fall asleep when Aldrich suddenly asked, “Do you like it?”

“What?”

“Did you like it last night?”

Realizing what he was saying, my face turned red. I grabbed the pillow next to me and pressed it against his face. “Don’t talk about this! From now on, you’re not allowed to speak!”

Aldrich easily dodged the pillow, held my waist, and pinned me under his body. He laughed deeply. “It seems that Your Highness is not satisfied with my service. Do you need my after-sales service?”

He swallowed my cry of surprise with a kiss.

The sun was high up in the sky.
