His kiss on her knuckles, showed off the perfect gentleman she fell in love with.



He raised his head up and smiled at her, his smile showed off his perfect dentition, his eyes were burning with emotions and admiration for Emily.



She was indeed very beautiful, her smile was more aesthetic that what he could compare to, her dress which composed of a cleavage showing off her bright smooth skin.



"Would you love to join me as we welcome out guests?", Richard spoke out again as he kept on holding her hands, his grip was soft as silk, and looking into her eyes, emotions springing up in him.



"Yes.. my Lord", she said as she smiled back at him.

He acted more of a gentleman than a king, showing off courtesy to his mate, Emily. Her soft words warmed his heart, and her smile lightened up his spirit.



He still stood there gawking at her, but then, she felt he never herd anything she said, probably because he was carried away by her beauty.



"After you my Lord..", Emily spoke out again, waiting for him to lead the way.



He held on to her hand, and then while walking, she intertwined her hands in his hands and walked through the hallways smiling.



"Thank you for coming, thank you for coming!", Emily and Richard shook hands and hugged the different guests who came for the celebration



"Emily!!!!", A voice screamed her name from afar. Emily looked around and saw who screamed her name so loud, it turned out to be Vanessa.



She had put on a lengthy pink gown, it's colour was so bright, her neatly arranged permed hair was tied upwards with a little red material, leaving some small strands of the hair falling on her face, her eyes looking so beautiful with her makeup always being light but exposing more of her beauty



"Oh my gosh! Emily.", Vanessa said in a high pitched tone as she ran to hug Emily.



Her heels were quite higher than Emily's, but how she managed to run with those high heels of hers was something Emily stood to wonder



She stood there watching Vanessa take every step while she ran hoping and praying she wouldn't fall, and then she didn't fall.



Vanessa hugged Emily so tightly, like she hadn't seen her for more than decades.



"Too tight! Too tight!!", Emily managed to say when Vanessa hugged her too tightly, almost squeezing off all her breath.



Vanessa finally realized, she hugged her too tight and then let go of her.



"Emily!! You look beautiful", Vanessa said while she tucked in some strands of her behind her ears.



No doubt, Emily was absolutely stunning in her dress and heels. Her hair was like a complete makeover, it was a different style unlike the other days when she would only brush it or used some hairpins to hold them up.



Vanessa stood there to admire her dress, how it was perfectly sewn, the embroidery that seemed to be divinely inspired, the heels, the makeup, Emily became the centre of attraction at that moment.



As every guest arrived, or stepped into the hallway, their attention was always drawn to Emily, how she dressed, her courteous attitude towards the guest and her undeniable beauty.



"You look beautiful too", Emily said trying to return the favor.

"I love your hair", Emily said again. She used her forefinger and her thumb to feel the silkiness of her hair, her shiny permed hair, tied with a little red material, shaped like a bow, it felt soft and tender.



Her pink dress which complemented her skin tone, her lips were shiny with some glitters on them, her beautiful golden earrings and pendants which added more brightness to herself, she was beautiful but this time, not more than Emily.



She knew the evening was for Emily, and she wouldn't want to dress to steal the spotlight away from her.



"Has Richard told you how you look?", Vanessa asked trying to stir up some discussion.



Emily smiled again, peeping at Richard. But he sensed that she was peeping, he turned his back, winked at her with a smirk on his face, his eyes exploring her dress and her beautiful face, his attention was shifted away from her to one of the guests who tapped him and offered him a handshake.

"Yes..", Emily chuckled a bit, her eyes still fixed on Richard's powerful physique



"Richard!", another male voice uttered

"Oh I'm sorry... Alpha Richard", the male voice repeated again as the figure who had the voice bowed before Richard.



He brought his head up and brought it up again, staring into Richard's eyes.



"Hello brother", Richard answered coldly. He had on a scorn on his face as he stared into his brother's eyes.



"Call me Leo, you of all people should know my name by now", Leo replied flatly. His eyes were dark and spoke evil clearly, his countenance was opposite that of his brother.



While his brother spoken powerfully and intelligently, he seemed to be the opposite of Richard.



He spoke with a sense of disdain and arrogance. Leo was Richard's immediate younger brother but both weren't born from the same mother.



Though Leo was the first born of his mother, his father had considered Richard to be more competent than him.



Leo had an indefatigable love for women, mostly the older ones, and his mind was just too clouded with incessant thoughts, not beneficial to the growth of the pack.



But rather than seeing his mistakes and all his flaws, he rather thought his father handed the leadership of the Blue moon pack to Richard simply because he was the first son of his father's mate.



"I didn't expect you to be here", Richard said again flatly, no emotions attached.



"But you sent out invitation letters. Why wouldn't I come to witness my nephew's dedication?", Leo replied annoyingly.



The smile on his face showed off some dirty dentition, but despite that, he had good looks capable enough to woo women closer to himself.



Leo looked to his side to see Emily, Richard's mate, he couldn't help but stare at the beautiful lady who greeted the other guests at their arrival.



"Your mate...", Leo said trying to get all of Richard's attention. Just as he predicted, he got all of Richard's attention as Richard looked down in him with a scorn on his face.



He clenched his jaw, at the same time clenched his fist. His wolf was irate, deeply growling inside him, waiting to be released in order to feast on him.



"She's beautiful", he finally completed his statement with an annoying smile written all over his face.



He could feel the anger rising in Richard, an angry flame which could not be quenched with anything, he could see him stepping closer to him, his plan of annoying him and ruining his celebration was gradually becoming possible.



Richard was completely irate when he heard him talking about Emily.
