**Chapter 489: The Most Tragic Bride**

In the opulent wedding hall, an air of anticipation mingled with anxiety. Guests exchanged hushed whispers, their eyes darting toward the grand entrance, a mix of curiosity and concern evident on their faces.

“What is taking so long? Where are they?” murmured one guest, glancing at another, who shrugged in response.

Had the bride fled in panic? Or was the groom having second thoughts? Speculation swirled like a tempest, and soon, all eyes turned to Adelyn, the mother of the groom, who felt the weight of their scrutiny bearing down on her. Anxiety clawed at her insides. Henry was being utterly ridiculous! Aubrey would need to rein him in; he couldn’t be this spoiled.

Yet, in this moment of chaos, Adelyn knew she had to step up. With a steadying breath, she raised her voice, projecting calmness despite her inner turmoil. “Please, everyone, rest assured… the Alpha will definitely bring the Luna here on time for the wedding! There are only ten minutes left. Just a little patience, please…”

Her heart raced as she thought of her son finally marrying Aubrey. This was a day they had all been waiting for; he would never miss it! With that thought, a flicker of confidence returned to her, and she stood tall, waiting with bated breath. But as the minutes ticked away—ten minutes turned into five, then dwindled down to a mere two—her heart sank further. Henry was still nowhere to be seen!

The whispers escalated into a cacophony of frustration, and Adelyn felt her anger boiling over.

“I hate you! How am I supposed to get married like this? The veil is ruined! And we’re almost out of time!” Aubrey’s voice trembled, tears threatening to spill as she clutched her wedding dress, the once-beautiful veil in tatters.

In that moment, she appeared to be the most tragic bride imaginable. Was there even any point in going through with the ceremony under these circumstances?

Her thoughts spiraled, fueling her frustration. “You go by yourself! When the officiant calls my name, you answer for me. I refuse to take another step!” Aubrey declared, her face a mask of cold determination.

At that moment, Alpha Henry, with a mischievous glint in his eye, flashed a cunning smile. “Oh, that’s simple. Ready? Husband Number One is about to take off!”

Before Aubrey could protest, he scooped her up effortlessly and dashed toward the elevator, her startled cry echoing in the hall.

Aubrey froze, panic rising within her as she suddenly remembered her appearance: her lipstick had been smudged away, her hair bun had come undone, and she wasn’t even wearing her high heels!

“No! I can’t get married like this! If I walk in like this, I’ll be the laughingstock of everyone!” she exclaimed, her heart racing at the thought.

Alpha Henry, perceptive as ever, could sense her turmoil. He gently set her down, his fingers deftly undoing her hair bun. Her long, wavy locks cascaded down her shoulders, framing her face and concealing the marks of her distress.

With a flourish, he produced a small jeweled tiara from his pocket and placed it atop her head. In an instant, her look transformed from frazzled to elegantly casual, a picture of a “carefully designed princess.”

“Okay, the hair is sorted, but what about my lipstick?” Aubrey said, annoyance lacing her tone. “I don’t have any! My face will look too pale.”

Alpha Henry rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then, with a sudden boldness, cupped her face in his hands. Before she could react, he leaned in and captured her lips with his, kissing her deeply.

“Ah! That hurts! What are you doing… Mmph!” Aubrey’s protests were muffled as she found herself helpless against his fervent kiss. When he finally pulled away, her lips were a luscious red, perfectly complemented by the flush on her cheeks. It was a look that surpassed any makeup she could have applied.

Just then, the elevator doors slid open. One minute left!

Aubrey glanced down at her bare feet, panic rising once more. They probably wouldn’t see under the dress, would they?

But Alpha Henry wasn’t about to let her walk barefoot down the aisle. He scooped her up again, bouncing her slightly in his arms. “Mm, perfect! Now, just watch me!” he declared with a grin.

Aubrey felt her sanity slipping. “You’re not going to carry me the whole way, are you? You can’t be serious!”

“Shh!” Alpha Henry whispered, striding purposefully forward.

As they approached the entrance of the hall, the sound of bells chimed, and the emcee’s voice rang out, “Please welcome the bride and groom!”

When the doors swung open, Aubrey instinctively buried her face in Alpha Henry’s arm, wishing she could disappear.

Oh, god! Everyone will laugh at me! I’m going to be the laughingstock of the Shadowmoon Pack!

Yet, as their figures appeared, a collective sigh of relief swept through the crowd. No matter the chaos, they had arrived together. They were here, they were finally here!

In that moment, as the doors of the wedding hall swung open, the cacophony of whispers transformed into a symphony of applause, drowning out Aubrey’s fears. Alpha Henry’s unwavering confidence radiated through the room, and for the first time, Aubrey felt a flicker of hope amidst her turmoil. The chaos of the moments leading up to this entrance faded into the background, replaced by the warmth of acceptance from the guests. Though her heart raced with embarrassment and anxiety, she was no longer alone in this whirlwind. With Henry by her side, she realized that the imperfections of the day—the smudged lipstick, the tattered veil—did not define her worth as a bride. Instead, it was the love and support surrounding her that truly mattered.

As they made their way down the aisle, Aubrey’s initial panic began to dissolve, replaced by a sense of unity and belonging. The laughter and joy of the crowd transformed her dread into exhilaration, a reminder that this was not just a ceremony, but a celebration of their journey together. With each step, she found strength in the knowledge that love could flourish even in the most chaotic of circumstances.
