"Wait, i appologize. Wedding? I haven't even met my mate yet!" Rose was exhaberated and tied. She had not been sold to continue her job, she had been sold to her mate. Rose watched as Olivia opened the wooden box sitting on the dresser and began to sit out an array of fine delicate jewelry, all precious gems with rosegold settings. She stood there infront of the mirror with elegantly done hair and a sort of excitement that unfortunately had left her terrified. Olivia pulled out a silver silken cloth with Roses name embroidered on the edge and placed it next to the box. Turning, Oliva did not waste time pulling the corset around Roses waist and laceing it up with quick nimble fingers. As she finished Olivia gestured to the dresser where the jewelry lay and began to talk as she pulled fur lined stockings from one of the drawers. "Im guessing those moon bastards didn't explain anything to you at all. Heres the deal, you were sought out by the Moon Temple because our ... Pack Leader could not find their mate for several years. Cant take over a pack properly without a matched pair. I mean .... they could, but its difficult especially since regional packs that oversee the smaller packs only have a King and Queen, or Alpha and Luna." Olivia smiled sweetly and patted the bed since i had not moved. As I sat on the edge of the bed Olivia kneeled down and pulled the cream colored stockings up my legs and tied them on my thighs with a piece of satin ribbon. Pulling the dress she hung up off the hook she walks over and sets it on the ground with a look. "well c'mon step into it dear."Oliva says slightly Exasperated. Standing up Rose steps into the dress and Oliva pulls it up holding out the arms of the dress letting me slide my arms into them. Oliva makes quick work of the small pearl buttons that trail up the back of the dress fastening them before smoothing out the back and sides of the dress. Looking up into the mirror Rose lets out a soft gasp, shes never worn anything but a maids outfit and could not believe that she would get to wear this. The top of the dress was a low cut sweetheart neckline that sat just beneath her bare shoulders. A cream colored fox pelt wrapped around the top of the dress, accentuating her cleavage. Cream silk fabric was fitted to her arms and waist flowing down into a long fur trimmed train around her feet. Oliva grabbed a pair of ivory heeled boots from the closet having Rose step into them before lacing them up and fixing the bottom of the train. Oliva unwrapped the silk fabric off the table pulling out a thin black tiara which resembled the bare branches of a tree. small pink pearls and set nestled between the branches with one small sapphire sat in the front middle. Oliva then quickly moved to the bed setting the tiara back onto of the bag. Moving around the clothing on the bed Olivia pulled out a silk bag and began to pull out a delicate lace fabric. PUlling it fully out the bag she walked back to Rose and drapped the fabric across the top of her head, the Veil was a soft ivory lace, small strands of gold woven into the lace made it sparkle in the light of the staind glass windows. Olivia grabbed the tiara off of the dresser and placed it onto of Roses head fastening it down with a few pins. Stepping back she nodded at her handy-work and turned around picking up all of my clothes up from off the floor and placeing them in the now empty bucket. "Go ahead and pick out some jewelry if you would like deary." Olivia smiled back at Rose and continued to clean up the floor. "Im getting the distinct feeling that youre not one fro talking are you?" Olivia asked in sarcasm. Rose thought for a minute while she starred at hersefelf in the mirror before replying, "I am only an Omega ... we are not allowed to speak unless told to." Rose shrugged her shoulders and turned around helping Olivia pick up the things off the floor and into the bucket. Olivia stopped and looked questioningly at Rose. "What does being an Omega have to do with not talking?" "Omegas are not be be seen or heard from ..... " Rose trailed off confused. "Im sorry what? I have never heard of that before, we all speak our mind and help out around here. The castle staff is here because they want to be not because we are made to be. I agreed to tend to my Pack Leader because i am shown love and respect. Im sorry for how your last Alpha treated you, you will not be treated as such here." Olivia smiles softly and looks up out the window as her eyes cloud black receiving a min-link. "Alright Miss Rose, our guard Erik has let me know that we will be needed shortly, ill be right back." Olivia said with a smile putting down the bucket she was carrying. Opening the door she disappeared down the hallway, a rosegold guard hand closing the door behind her. Standing there unsure of what to do Rose walked over to the dresser and looked at the jewelry trying to make up her mind. Picking up a thin rosegold chain with a teardrop pink pearl on it she unclasped it and put it on her neck securing it. "hey ... Melody ..." She thought to herself waiting for a reply. A still excited Melody responded, "Yes Rose?" "Theres no way that im actually marrying an Alpha right?" asked Rose. It was silent for a minutes before Melody responded, "Well its not unheard of for an Omega to marry an Alpha ....." "But? " asked Rose with a very question heavy tone. Melody sighed softly and thought cautiously of how to talk to Rose without alarmimng her. She replied, "Well little Rose, there is always the chance that the Alpha could reject us, more than anything i dont want that to happen but its not unheard of. However this is supposedly a Regional Alpha so there are specific things that have to be taken into account." "Hmmmmm .... im not entirely sure that this is an Alpha honestly. As long as we done have to go back to EdenMoon..." Melody sat in the quiet between them before they heard a knock at the door and Melody retreated to the background. The bedroom door opened and Olivias head peeked around the corner of the door with her hand beckoning for Rose to follow before disappearing again. Rose took in a deep shaky breath and walked out of the door following Olivia down the hallway. As they left the dead end wing of the castle a guard began to follow behind them quietly his hand on the gilt of his sword in a protective stance. Towards the end of the hallway was a set of large ornate cathedral doors that bared the crest of the Moon Goddess. "This is it ..." thought Rose with hestitation. Olivia handed a bouquet or red black and red flowers to Rose who took them and held them tightly in her small hands. Olivia smiled at her and nodded her head. "Youll be just fine dear, just .... ya know .... done leave?" Olivia chuckled nervously to herself before turning and disappearing down the hall back towards the bedroom. Rose stood faceing the doors, nervously she played with the flowers in her hand as the guard next to her reached for the doors, stopping before he opened them he looked towards Rose. "Dont worry Luna, your safe with us." Erik sounded so sincere that she smiled softly at him before he pulled the large door open. Rose watched as rows of people stood up looking back at her with confused faces. It took a few seconds for the light of the stained glass windows to allow her to see past the faces of those in attendance. Rose stopped right before she went to walk down the aisle and stood there in complete confusion. Looking at the Alter stood a She-Wolf, clearly a highborn Luna, she could smell it from here. Rose stayed standing where she was in confusion before the guard Erik softly nudged her back whispering softly for her ears only. "You must go down the aisle Luna, everyone is staring." Slowly Rose began to walk down the aisle the face of the Luna that stood infront of the MoonShield looked just as confused as she was. Walking up the steps and onto the alter she stopped and faced the Luna. She was beautiful, her assumptions had been correct, everyone in this territory was beautiful. For a second she got lost in her own thoughts, this Luna had the same snow white hair and the prettiest large green eyes she had ever seen. She was a few inches taller than Rose which made her slightly self-conscious. But more so she was still confused and had completely tuned out the sound of the whispers of the guests and the fact that the MoonShield was talking. Thats when Melody chimed in whispering into Roses head. "What the f**k is going on here? ...."
