Through the whole ceremony, Ari kept the same expression on her face. She was distant, cold and definitely did not want to be there. Through the reverend's speech, she would zone out, hearing the words he spoke only in soft mumbles. She was forced to turn and face Gerard as the vows were exchanged, getting closer and closer to sealing her fate as the wife to the man she never loved.<br/><br/>Ari's expression stayed the same as she was asked if she would have Gerard as her husband. She hesitated and looked at her father, almost pleading him to get her out of this. When she looked back at Gerard, she saw something at the edge of the forest. A large copper colored wolf sat and stared at her. The eyes so familiar, her heart sank. Her expression changed from depressed, to relief, then to happiness.<br/><br/>Ari shook her head at the reverend's question and looked at him and then to her father.<br/>"I'm sorry father..." She whispered to him softly.<br/>"But no... No I don't take this man as my husband." She put her hands on his shoulder and raised her knee. Sending it directly into his groin. She apologized to the other royal families before picking her dress up and running to Jacob. She would tackle the man to the ground, her arms wrapped around his neck and her lips on his. Her heart was alive again, he was alive and so was she.<br/><br/>Raven's spirit watched the whole thing happen. She would smile at her daughter and pat her husband's hand, making it cold. This was her attempt in letting him know that this was the best for their little girl.<br/><br/>Sent from my LG-H900 using Tapatalk
