The alpha's bride is no other person than my daughter. Father's words came up, as everyone roared and I could see Kira, she is beautiful, I know he will fancy her and I watch as Hazel withdrew her hand from Stefan, poor thing, I could imagine the pain she is going through, that pain that could crush a girl soul for life, how could he ever think of hurting her like that, such an idiot, why bring her here, when he knows he is not going to pick her.
Come on, you've heard the verdict, so let's go. I pulled Leonid's hand but my dad's words stop me.
Fiona Oliver!!! Leonid look at me, and as he withdrew his hand, the shock was written over my face, he can't be me, I turned as I watch him grinned wickedly.
Fuck you, I don't want to be your bride, I am not your mate, beast. I screamed in frustration, then I remembered that no she-wolf had the right to question the decision of the Alpha, talk more of cursing and rejecting him openly, and death was the penalty, dad look at me, for the first time, he felt pity for me and the guard seal me.
Let go of her. Leonid yelled at the guard, that was pulling me out, I couldn't say a word, the only thing in this stupid head of mine was tears, how could I be so stupid, just last night, I slapped my hand across his face and now, I did the unthinkable.
I order you, as the prince, to let her go. When he saw the guards stop, he stand on his feet as he walked toward us.
As the new alpha, it's just my voice that should be heard, every other voice is as good as noise, a worthless sound that doesn't deserve to be heard, now take her away and you know what to do.
As they dragged me out, I heard his voice from this day onward, whoever takes an order from Prince Leonid against mine, will be stone to death.
Who is he now? A god? I said mentally, he stamped out of the hall, those murmuring wasn't for him, Leonid stood in front of him.
What are you going to do to her? Are you going to kill her? Tell me, do you want to end her life, please tell me.
Leonid, it's best you don't know, after all, she is not your wife, nor your mate.
But I love her.
Leonid loves me, I turned, only to see that Stefan had pressed his neck to the wall.
She is mine now, so get your eyes off her, if you don't want me, spilling your blood and hers.
Tears drop from my eyes, as I try to run to Leonid, those guards are demons and pulled me away, I heard no idea what happened at the ball anymore if he had picked his beta or if dad was still his beta and Leonid, what he did to him. All of a sudden, a sack was worn on my face shutting me from the world.
Only to wake up on a soft bed, it's amazing, the interior is breathtaking, the wall is painted the way I want them to be, and the sight is beautiful.
Then I remembered, I was supposed to be killed and where, am I? This place is different, I have entered almost all the rooms in the royal castle but no one looked as astonished as this, this is perfect and breathtaking.
The doorknob crack open, and I jumped from the bed, only to see it was just a maid, I thought they have come to take me, I thought by now, I must have joined my mom, what cruel fate! Why should it always be me and me alone?
Your Highness, we are here to prepare you, with the permission of your highness, the alpha.
Prepared me for what? I asked as the maid gestured for me to follow them and led me into a dressing room, they help me out of that stupid gown that I have wore, since Leonid brought that gown for me, I have never won it, I felt it's too attractive and eye-catching for a girl that is as lonely as me. They were putting some nice cream on me, it was like it was prepared with nice smell herbs, then they offer me tea.
What is this? I asked because it doesn't seem like regular tea, its smell is different and more like an herb.
Oh, this will help you relax and the pain wouldn't be that much. Those words make tears fall from my eyes, I thought that the tea is going to give me slow death.
So he wanted to kill me slowly, but it is a good thing that, he thought of reducing my pain.
The women look at me in surprise, my words had thrown them in confusion, I am sure, one is unable to hold her thoughts inside.
What are you talking about, why will the alpha want to kill his Luna? Don't you know, if the alpha kills his Luna, he will never be able to be the Alpha of the pack forever?
Oh! I run my hands through my hair. I don't know if I should be happy with the turn of events or be sad that I will spend the rest of my life in pain and hostage of this tyrant. So what pain are you... Oh no!!!
That was when I realized what they are referring to, the terror on my face made the first lady that first speaks takes my hand in hers, her face was full of pity but why thou fuck did she pity me, I hate pity and I don't want people looking at me like I am weak, a weakling as that asshole called me. You have nothing to worry about, it's not...
It's okay, at least, I am not dying, and I am sure, this is not going to kill me or will it? I said standing, she shakes her head but I could tell it was that of reassurance, not something they were sure of.
We will inform the alpha that you are ready.
Ready? I am not ready. I want to yell those words to their faces, they were three in number but the one always talking, is the eldest of them.
Every terrible scenario was playing in my head, hearing the way that father had to describe his sex life, my heartbeat was more than usual, it was pounding terribly, I felt anxiety will kill me before anything else, not even his presence will choke me more than this thought, even under the air-conditioned, my body was all wet from sweat, those sweat that was formed as a result of my tense emotions.
After a long wait, the doorknob crack open, he closed the door behind him, and I watch him take off the card swipe from the door and throw it into the cupboard as he started taking off his wears.
