DreameNovelChapter +25 BONUS Elizabeth and I talked for a while, and I found that we really hit it off far more than I ever could have expected. It was nice to have a normal conversation with someone, especially after everything I had been through in the last few weeks.
She was intelligent, brave, and confident-everything I hoped to be. I could see why there were so many rumors that her father planned to make her Alpha when he was ready to retire, I could tell that she would be a wonderful leader.
I didn't drag myself away from our conversation until it was tfor David andto begin accepting gifts from the guests.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was a long line of people waiting to approach the head table and present their gifts to us. David and I stood in front of the table with our parents on either side of us, ready to take the gifts and set them on the tables to keep the line moving.
We received many nice things, but after the first few gifts, began to notice a pattern. At first, I thought it was only a few people who had gone off our wedding registry and gotten things that weren't requested But it soon becclear that David must have made sadditions to the registry without my knowledge Many of the gifts we received were items specifically for him-designer clothing, watches, cufflinks, and other things that I knew David could never afford for himself.
I didn't mind this so much, except that the people who had bought him these expensive gifts obviously had nothing for me. It didn't matter, as in the end, I was sure we would be returning all of these gifts. Still, the table behind us was piling up with things intended only for David, and I found it increasingly difficult to thank the people who presented him with these gifts.
It seemed careless toto bring a wedding gift only intended for the groom, with nothing for the bride. Then again, most of these gifts were coming from people within David's pack, so I suppose it made sense that they would want to win favor with him and not care one way or another about what I thought.
That seemed to be a common attitude in the Lunar Lake Pack.
Compared to the gifts from David's pack members, the gifts we received from my own pack were much more thoughtful. Silk sheets, lovely vases, and other décor items, as well as pots and pans, made up most of the gifts from my pack. Many of these were items that David and I had put on our registry together, As each person presented their gift, we thanked them. David seemed very excited about all of it; I could tell he was having a good time. He probably hadn't seen such fine things in a very long time, and to know that they were now his must have boosted his pride.
He wanted to appear wealthy to enhance his power; it didn matter to him that it was all just a show. After all, that was the whole reason he wanted to marry me-for my family's wealth and reputation I forced the bitter thoughts aside and focused on the task at hand. All the guests had cout of kindness and respect for us, and I owed it to them to show my sincerest thanks.
Eventually, Elizabeth stepped forward with her father, which shocked me. It was strange enough that the king had decided to attend our wedding, I never anticipated that he would have brought us a gift.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Oh, this isn't necessary," I said as Elizabeth approached with a gift bag. "Please, it means enough to us that you've come.
She smiled sweetly. "It wouldn't be appropriate to cwithout a gift, especially since you've shown us so much kindness and consideration."

David was practically vibrating with excitement as he reached for the gift bag. I watched him open it curiously; 1 had no idea what kind of gift we e could expect from the Alphia King and his daughter. I was sure David was expecting something extravagant, so I was even more pleased when I saw that he had pulled out a beautifully carved wooden plaque.
