Chapter 0212 Ella POV The castle , Elizabeth said for at least the third time in the last five minutes , her voice full of awe .
I cant believe Im actually going to get to visit .
I cant believe you havent already , I admitted , glancing at her with a smirk .
Elizabeth , the only daughter of the Alpha King , had access to places most people could only dream of .
If anyone should have been able to walk through those gates without a second thought , it was her .
The fact that Alexander had managed to secure the venue when no one else had was … curious .
I had no trouble believing that he and Christopher Slater had crossed paths two successful businessmen and eligible bachelors were bound to end up in the same circles .
But Alexanders hesitancy when it came to Slater was hard to miss .
There was more to their history than he let on , but I didnt push him on it .
Whatever it was , he would tell me when he was ready or not at all .
I could live with that .
What mattered was that Alexander had spent the last few days coordinating closely with Slater to make everything perfect , and I could see the weight of it in the set of his shoulders and the tightness around his eyes .
People didnt realize how much effort went into planning a wedding until they were in the thick of it , and Alexander had stepped up in ways I hadnt expected , shouldering burdens I hadnt even asked him to .
I appreciated it more than I could say .

You didnt even call and tell me , Elizabeth said , her tone edging toward mock indignation .
I had to find out from the invitation .
Just like everyone else ! I thought we were best friends .
We are best friends , I replied , rolling my eyes but smiling fondly .
I wanted it to be a surprise .
Well , you certainly accomplished that , she said , a teasing grin spreading across her face .
You couldve given me a hundred guesses about where you were moving the wedding , and I never wouldve imagined this .
That was the idea , I said with a shrug , though I couldnt help the flicker of nervousness in my chest .
The castle was a bold choice , one that would undoubtedly draw attention , but it also felt right .
It was timeless , elegant , and distinctly different from anything Amanda could dream of copying .
Elizabeth and I were wandering through the bustling streets of the capital , browsing boutique after boutique in search of the perfect dress for her to wear to the wedding .
She had been busy helping her father prepare for the holiday season , so she hadnt had a chance to shop until now .
It worked out for the best , though it was far more enjoyable to do this together than for her to go off on her own .
As we stepped into yet another store , I glanced at her with their RSVPs , I said , carefully steering the conversation in teasing smile .
So , Damian and his parents sent in new direction .
Elizabeths face lit up with an adoring smile , I know , she said , a dreamy note in her voice .
Youve gotten pretty serious , havent you ? I asked softly studying her expression .
She nodded , her cheeks tinged pink .
I have .
I even told my father .
I stopped in my tracks , staring at her with wide eyes and an open mouth .
You what ? I asked , my voice pitching higher in disbelief .
Elizabeth , thats so exciting ! He approved , she said , her radiant smile bright enough to rival the glittering display of gowns before us .
So Damian will be my date to the wedding , +25 BONUS Chapter 0212 I barely managed to suppress the urge to squeal with delight , but the excitement in my voice was unmistakable .
For Elizabeth to openly see someone was a huge step , and getting her fathers approval ? That was monumental .
My heart leapt with joy and a touch of relief .
Elizabeth had become incredibly dear to me in such a short time , and I knew how isolating her life could be due to her status .
For her to find someone who truly made her happy , someone she could be with openly , was a rare and precious thing .
