A/N: So I know that I said that the wedding chapter would only be two chapters but I finally got the creative juices pumping through my brain again so I'm extending it a bit. :D
Chapter 12
They both said I do and were finally about to finish when someone yelled "I OBJECT!" Leah and Nathan turn towards the person who shouted it and where surprised to see…..
"DRAKE! What are you doing here?" Leah says screaming, "You are not supposed to be here!"
"GUARDS! ARREST THIS MAN GET HIM OUT OF HERE!" yells Harry.
"Leah, you know him? When did you meet him? "Nate asks, "Wait a minute you know him Nate?" Leah questions Nate while still looking at Drake, who was heading towards the couple. The guards tried to arrest him but failed.
"Well yeah he's my greatest adversary. Who do you think tried to kidnap you earlier in an attempt to sabotage the wedding?"
"Nate, you have to be kidding Drake would never do something like that. He's uh, someone I know." Says Leah, as Drake comes to stop in front of the couple.
"It doesn't matter, how I know the two of you…but you can't have this wedding, at least not now…."
"And why should I believe you? After everything you've done to me, you think that you can gain my trust so easily?"
"It does not matter. Leah, please you must trust me. You cannot continue with the wedding at this moment…"
"Guards, what are you doing? Get this man out of here now! He tried to kidnap my daughter earlier, he's a threat!"
"No don't!" Leah shouts in protest, "What is it that is so important that the wedding must be stopped?"
"Um, maybe here is not the best place to discuss this, well in front of everyone that is."
"Where then Drake?"
"How about some place private?"
"Is close by good?" Leah asks while moving closer to Drake. Nate seeing this grabs her arm and says, "Leah you are not truly going to believe what he has to say?"
"Yes, I am Nate. I don't care whether you like it or not but Drake must have a really good reason to postponing the wedding, and listen to his reason I will. It will not take long love, I will be back shortly. Follow me Drake I know a place where we can talk."
With that Leah leads Drake out of the wedding ceremony back into her bridal room. As Drake closes the door, Leah turns towards him and asks, "So what is your reason for stopping the wedding?"
"Milady, as you know I've been by your side for many years…" Drake says while bowing, as Leah takes a seat. "Yes, what of it? You are my most trusted aide."
"Well, I come bearing bad news. If you are to continue the wedding as of now, the southern pack along with the rebels will attack. I know not of when exactly, but they wish for the union to happen first so that when and if they win it will be a clean sweep and they will have the power to rule."
"This is not good, is this why you had me kidnapped earlier?"
"Yes, your majesty. I know I should have gone about this a different way but you know how Nathan gets…"
"Yes, he's not fond of you. But you are the most loyal to me, in which I thank you. Are you not fond of Nathan as well?"
"He is but a child, your highness… You know that I do not object to your decisions as they are most wise. But I fear that keeping this, no our relationship secret any longer will interfere with the trust Nathan will have with you in the future. It would also be beneficial if a union was formed between us as well."
"And how shall this union be formed?"
"Just too simply acknowledge me in the presence of the King and Queen. You know as well as I do if you do that the opposing will not stand a chance with the union."
"I guess I do owe this to you…it's granted. Anything else you wish, my dear friend?"
"Ummm, well the attack was not the only reason why I wish of you to postpone the wedding. The uh… it's not the right season for you to marry. Well, uh I mean it would be in your best interest to postpone the wedding for a few days at least until the new month. "
"Why is that Drake?"
"Well, it is said to be an omen to wed during this month to my kind and the fertility, is uh… not the best either. I just look out for the best of your future in mind, Leah." Leah sighs and starts to stand, "Fine, if that is how it must be, I trust you on this Drake, as I said I trust you with everything. Maybe it should not be this way but both you and Adrianna while not the same species as me have become my most trusted and valuable friends, never break my trust."
"Of course I won't Leah." Drake says smiling as he opens the door. We both start to head towards the wedding when I stop and glare at him. "And Drake if you ever pull that formal crap again I'll paddle your ass. Never call me anything but Leah."
"Is that an order? Oh and you can paddle me anytime," He says cheekily.
"Oh shut it, don't be a smartass." Leah says smiling. As they approach the wedding they can see the tension. While many may not have approved of what Leah did while in the middle of the wedding she was just going to have to make them understand.
"Here goes nothing." Leah tells Drake as she comes to a stop with him standing behind her towards her right.
"Everyone if I may have your attention please. It has come to my attention that this is not the time or place for the wedding. It will be postponed, once the new month is upon us is when the wedding shall continue. I apologize for this discrepancy but I need to be somewhere else at the moment, so if you will excuse me." Leah says while turning away from her wedding guests, family and husband to be.
"Are you coming Drake?" Leah asks while walking away. "Of course" Drake replies trying to catch up to her. "Um, Leah where are we going?"
"To the enemy of course I want to get this out of the way and done with, so on my wedding day you won't be objecting." Leah says turning towards him with a smirk, Drake blushes and mumbles, "It's not like I did it on purpose, unlike some people I know…."
"What was that? I don't think I heard you?" Just as they are about to reach the car, they hear someone calling for Leah. They both turn and see Nathan, Adrianna, Caroline and Harry running towards then trying to catch up.
"Geez Lee, why do you have to walk to fast? It so hard to catch up to you sometimes." Adrianna exclaims while panting out of breath.
"Sorry Anna, but there are a few things that Drake and I need to take care of."
"What is it Leah? I don't like you going off alone with this man-"
"Nathan that is enough! I'm astonished at how you treat him-"
"NO, Leah I agree too with what he says. He is going to be you husband after all. Your mother and I are concerned, what is going on?" Leah takes a glance towards Drake, but his face is devoid of all emotion. Nathan is shocked that instead of answering like she usually would she would look towards Drake. While he is not the usual type to get jealous, to think that his soon to be wife looks toward another man, makes him green with envy.Leah sighs and with a frustrated groan says, "I'll tell you all once we get back to the house. I'm going to drive with Drake, I will see you there shortly. And no, I don't care whether or not you trust him because I do." With that they both enter the car and drive away.
