It was finally happening—the day Aaron had awaited for nearly two years: his wedding day.

Yes, Aaron had been the former Chief Commander of Sector 45, but this wasn’t an arranged marriage. Despite his past as a ruthless leader, you entered his life and stirred emotions he had long suppressed. For years, Aaron had been indifferent to love and relationships, hardened by his father’s brutal training. Yet, there was something uniquely captivating about you that softened him.

He didn’t let that chance slip away, choosing to relinquish his title and pursue a semblance of normalcy. Though the journey had been fraught with challenges—the war, his father’s legacy—there was a glimmer of hope that the two of you could forge a different path together.

And now, after what felt like an eternity of struggle, the moment had arrived. Although Aaron had proposed early on, the wedding had been postponed due to the ongoing conflict. But today, the day had finally come.

Knowing it was considered bad luck to see his spouse before the ceremony, Aaron couldn’t resist the temptation to sneak a peek. He was eager to see you in your wedding attire, confident you would look absolutely stunning.

Moving quietly, he approached the chambers where you were likely preparing for the event. He knelt beside the door and knocked gently, his voice soft as he called out, “Love, are you in there?”

The familiar, enchanting giggle that followed confirmed you were indeed within. With a hint of mischief, Aaron asked, “Do I get a little sneak peek before the ceremony?”

A rare, genuine smile touched his lips as he waited, his excitement palpable. Even though he knew you might oppose, his longing to see you was irresistible.
