Chapter 26: Silver & Gold
Elaine's POV
I guess it's because of the breakfast at The Gazebo that made me hold on to Tyler's muscular arm tightly, walking with him on the busy street of Moonburn at almost eleven in the morning.
I don't know where he's taking me. He said it's a surprise.
I pinch his muscles. It was so firm and strong, brute and intimidating. Tyler's expression did not so much as shift except for the jerking of his chin and the twitching of his stubble. "Tyler?"
"Hm?" He did not look at me though. His eyes remained on the road we were walking. "Why did you propose to me in front of them like a mortal fiancé?"noveldrama
Tyler stopped, slowly turning to face me. "If you've been abducted by a mafia boss, do you agree to marry him when all he did is just show you his face and body and cock?" "Maybe. Why?"
Tyler rubbed a hand on his jaw. "You know, Elaine. You are often slow..."
"What kind of slow?" I snorted.
"That."
"What?"
"That."
I look around us and into my outfit. "I don't get what you're saying."
"You see. That's what makes you slow sometimes." He continued to walk. But I can see that he smirked in the corner of my eyes.
cream.
"Tell me, please!" I nudged like a child begging to be bought a cone of chocolate ice
Tyler took a deep breath before walking beside me, my hand still clutching to his. "We do that so that women will not be in shock. We give them an ample amount of time to realize what's going on and what's going to happen to their life. That's why the wedding will be next month. And we also appoint mortal wives to tell the newcomers what it is like to be a bride of a wolf shifter."
"You are still not answering my question," I pouted.
He pinched my cheeks. "We propose before marriage so that even when women are brought to Stella's Soul against their will, they will still be able to feel that the one they are marrying still has humanity left inside them."
"So that we will not think you guys are monsters?"
"Indeed. Yes." I shrugged, nice explanation though. "And also to let women feel comfortable when they marry a Wolf God. That's why we pamper them and spoil them." Tyler then winked, white teeth flashing.
We turned right when we reached the corner. This time, more shops are calling at me situated at the side to the pathway we are traversing. Dress boutiques, candy and chocolate stores, perfume stores, dessert café, and a bunch of coffee shops and restaurants.
Gosh, this was the busiest street I've seen in my life. Not to mention expensive. "This is Moonburn's Business Park," explained Tyler. "Any business that is built in here will always prosper."
"How can you be so sure?" I crooned.
Tyler Jane Moonstorm looked past me with a wicked grin. "Because werewolves own Moonburn."

"Here we are."
Tyler opened the door of the shop for me. No, it was not just a shop. It's a boutique- one that has every item costs at least a thousand dollars.
My throat bobbed. I felt anxious. Cold drops of sweat suddenly start to stream down
from me. "Don't worry, Elaine." Tyler rubbed my back. "They know who we are."
"Mr. Tyler!" The voice did not sound manly, but not feminine either. The person is a man
of nature but his clothes...they are in neon green and his boots are in glittering pink. A fluffy magenta scarf snaked around his neck.
"I told you we are a Wolf God," he whispered in my ears. Tyler's warm breath made my pussycat even tighter.
"Yeah, you attract all people of age and gender!" I turn around to hide my giggles. He rolled his eyes and continued towards the man in bright colors.
"Is this your bride?" They both turn their attention to me. I'm just quietly watching the aquarium where the baby turtles are stacked to one another as they dive into the water. "Yes, she is." Tyler answered for me. "She's beautiful, isn't she?"
I blushed and the man bit his lip. "She's a goddess."
Then they vanish in my eyes and proceed to talk to where a bunch of gowns and other wedding ephemera are displayed.
"Elaine?" The voice is familiar. But I continued to browse through the wedding catalog atop the square table near the couch.
"Elaine, it's you!" It was my younger sister. Alone. But a foul scent of rotting flesh
surrounds her. The air becomes colder, heavier.
"Where are mom and dad? And why are you here?"
"Elaine..." Tyler's voice thundered and my sister immediately went for the door
without answering my question.
"Who was that?"
; "It's my sister, Ty—"
"But your family is dead, Elaine-Oh, shit!"
sister.
"What?" I became even more nervous.
"Oh. Shit." Then Tyler vanished in the door as well. I presume he's going after my
"Your husband is so protective of you, little one."
"But that's my sister?!"
"Didn't you hear what your fiancé told you?" The man who wears bright and jovial female
clothes sat beside me, hugging a white wedding dress. "That's not your sister."
"Then what is it?" I sweated even more, heartbeat pounding even more.
;
; "That's a Hearteater."

"So you are also-"I leaned to whisper to him. "You are one of the wolves' servants?"
"Oh yes! I have managed several of their weddings for twelve years already," he answered with a loud voice that made me quiver a little inside.
; "So, how did you end up at their feet?"
"Well..." He looked past me before shifting his seat on my right. "It's like a Faustian
Bargain, but this time there is no devil. It's the "
"Wolf God?" I cut him off before he finished.
"Yes." He extended a hand. "I'm Nicole by the way."
I shook his hand. "In the morning or at night?"
His boisterous laugh made me smile despite the news about my family and the monsters in the city wearing their faces.
"Both. I was born as Nicole. My mother insisted it's a unisex name that's why she named
me Nicole even though I have a dick."
I laughed harder at his last word. "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"I have a husband." My brows rose.
"Where is he?"
"The one walking beside your Tyler." He stood, smoothing the white dress. "We are both
private servants of the wolves but our business is open to all."
I can see it. The Silver &; Gold Wedding Boutique is as lavish as its name. Truly, this is what a lot of money can do. Both from the business and from the hunky wolf-shifting billionaire that I am betrothed to.
I heard a barking and I thought it was Tyler in his wolf form. I'll definitely scold him if he's going to shift inside the boutique with his clothes inside the backpack he told me to carry.
Well I guess the private servants of his are used to seeing dogs entering and turning to a man, extending a pair of tuxedo and slacks without so much of hesitation.
But it was not Tyler. No, the barking came from a white wolf, almost like a Siberian husky with its fur as white as snow if it wasn't for the silver chain around his neck that bears the wolf's
name.
"Come, Pegasus!" I called the wolf and it jumped on my lap, licking my face as Tyler and the husband entered the boutique once again.
