As Liam was walking toward Annalise, he couldn't help but be nervous, and Annalise knew it wasn't because of the coffee she had drunk this morning.
Liam looked at Annalise as he took another step forward.
"I didn't know that an Omega could be this beautiful."
"Without that dirt that made her feel protected, she almost looked like a Luna."
Liam thought when he first saw her that it was kind of cruel, especially since she's a woman, but she can't blame her, especially since she's trying to survive. Being an Omega was kind of hard.
Liam shook his head and said to himself, "I can't possibly be amazed by her."
"Remember, you'll just use her to use her."
"For Odette to come back to you."
Liam held Annalise's hand, and she felt it cold.
"Wow, even a huge figure like him can be scared sometimes." Annalise thought and held Liam's hand tight, making the man look at her.
Annalise reached for his ear and made a big gasp in the crowd.
Odette held her scarf that she was holding and Noah was looking at her.
Liam and Annalise made a big circle around them.
"It's alright, smile a little bit," Annalise said
And Liam was moved. He didn't know she could be this observer.
As their faces parted, Liam's face was red.
That caught Annalise off guard and she laughed, "That's it."
As they continued to walk towards the crowd, there were murmurs that Liam could hear.
"Wow, I've never seen her before!"
"Is she from the other tribe?"
"Isn't that treason? Marrying someone from another tribe? "
"But if she's not, I think there was someone who could be more beautiful than Odette."
Annalise couldn't seem to concentrate as her vision started to blur and she couldn't hear anything and just spaced out.
"Are you okay, Annalise?"
Annalise wanted to be scared, but she just smiled and they stood on what seemed to be a small stage in front of where the Elders were, and on the side were Odette and Noah.
The crowd was looking at them and the elders weren't sure, especially since they had to inspect everything as they did with Odette.
"Are you certain, Liam Koam Hamilton?" A question from the Elder
"Yes, I'm certain," Liam said sparingly.
Liam looked at the maiden beside him and felt sorry for doing this, but what could he do?
All he can do is be selfish to be with Odette again.
I felt sorry for everything and the thought that she didn't know what was written on the contract was flawed and was different from what we were talking about.
Unknowingly, she held onto me as soon as I placed my hand in my direction.
Liam took a deep breath and looked at Annalise.
"She's even smiling, not knowing what I did to bestow faith upon her. I hope she can forgive me. "
"Liam Koam Hamilton and this unknown Luna of yours," the Elder said, clearing his throat.
"Annalise Alexander, my Lord," she said.
And Mateo was astounded by someone like Luna because this woman addressed him as Lord, which moved him.
The Elder gestured, using his hand to take a bow, and without breaking their hands, Liam and Annalise bowed.
They stayed bowed as Liam looked at her. She shut her eyes, and he did the same.
She has a beautiful name, but he just fulfilled his dirty business and again felt sorry for her.
Everyone was quiet and the attention was on those who bowed.
Odette's hand trembled and her face turned ugly, and Noah took notice of it.
"Are you okay?"
"Do I look okay to you? He hasn't even spent a month and ended up replacing me with this unknown girl. "
Noah was so confused and just stared at what was happening, "Isn't this what she wanted? Why is she acting like that? "
"Annalise Alexander, may your journey together bear a happy memory. Through this tribe, we welcomed you, Annalise Alexander, as the new Luna of La Sierra Empire. May your duties to your people be pure." The Elder said
They were both unknowingly smiling as they opened their eyes.
"Stop!"
Odette shouted, making me look at her, and as soon as Liam looked at her, Annalise just shut her eyes.
"What's her problem?" Liam thought and was irritated.
Odette felt as if she were being tortured.
"You're not like this, Liam!" Odette said
Liam was just looking at her, confused.
Annalise opened her eyes and stood still, and Liam put Annalise behind him for further protection.
"I order you to transform..." Odette said that made everyone shocked.
The Elder also discussed this and was looking back and fortified.
As Liam made it to the center stage, everyone was quiet, and Annalise was shocked as they all had respect for the man in front of her.
"Why does she need to take orders from you?"
"You're not even my mate?" Liam said, with a cold expression.
Odette was dumbfounded as her hands began to tremble.
"What the hell are you saying, Liam?"
"The tie wasn't legitimate yet."
"But the untying was," Annalise said, and everyone was shocked.
Liam's expression was the same.
That made him furious because it was not in their contract for her to speak like that.
"Everyone who dares to question and everyone that doesn't believe him will be dragged into the dungeon!"
Odette frowned, "Please... This is not what I want to happen."
"Liam.. p-please, it's not like that."
Liam just turned a blind eye and an ear that couldn't hear her and held Annalise's shoulder tight.
Annalise felt her body trembling, but she said nothing and looked in the direction he was looking.
Everyone murmured, but Liam ignored it and looked at the Elders who had some kind of conversation.
"SILENCE!"
Odette's knees became weak and she held onto Noah's arms.
She was taken aback because Liam had never been like that to her, and she had not expected the new Luna to be feisty.
The ceremony continued, and Odette didn't take it and exited the stage.
Liam's face followed Odette, but Annalise made him stop.
"If you are conducting an act, please do it properly!"
Annalise's face was full of gloom, and Liam was confused.
"Where did the little rabbit go?" Liam gulped.
"Did I let myself out of a trap?" Liam added
As the ties were being made, someone in the audience couldn't take it because their hands were clenched.
"Tsk!"
