Chapter: Chapter 4Melissa's POVI jolted awake with a gasp as ice-cold water slammed into my face, stealing my breath and ripping me out of unconsciousness. The cold coursed through me, making me to tremble slightly and then the memories hits me like a sledgehammer.I had stood by the highway, waiting to board a taxi when a man with a private car stopped in front of me. He smiled at me and offered to help. I wanted to decline, but I was too scared of standing in the dark highway alone, so I accepted his help and got into the car.Before I could realise what was happening, he pressed a napkin into my nose and I drifted into darkness. And now, here I am.My eyes darted around the unfamiliar room. Surprisingly it's clean and tidy. I sat on a metal chair and was bound with a silver chain—cutting deeper into my skin.A man stood before me. Tall, broad shouldered. A fine jawline. A pair of stormy gray eyes. He looks so hot and dangerous at the same time. He looks so peaceful yet so cruel. He looks beautiful

Chapter: Chapter 3Melissa's POV“You'll marry him.“Those three words echoed in my ears, several times with an intensity that left me wondering what father meant by that.I looked at him—really looked at him. I thought he was just kidding or something —waiting patiently for him to clear the air, but a minute passed, nothing. And besides Alpha Lawrence doesn't have plenty time in his hands to joke around.My breath caught. My chest tightened. “What?”I stared back at mother. Her brows furrowed in a mix of shock and disbelief. But her hands never left mine.“My Alpha, our daughter can't marry that man,” mother says.Father ignored her; his eyes still fixed on me.“You’ll marry him,” he repeated, each word deliberate. “The entire kingdom knows about this marriage, this alliance. If we break it off now, it will bring shame to our house. Do you want to humiliate your family?”I blinked, disbelief turning to rage.How could father be this selfish?My lips trembling. “Father…. this man doesn't even love me.“

Chapter: Chapter 2Melissa's POVI drove round the kingdom, trying to clear my head but even that didn't work.So I stepped into a bar—Whiskey & Wolves at the outskirts of town. The red neon light flickered across the room. The loud music reverberated through my soul. The smell of smoke and alcohol lingered in the air.Wrapping a veil over my head to conceal my identity, a sad smile tugged at the corners of my lips. Just the perfect distraction I needed. If there's something else I liked about this bar, it's for their service of selling alcohol that is strong enough to knock out even the strongest of wolves.“Your strongest drink,” I said to the bartender—a petite lady with blonde hair—at the counter, sliding into the booth in front of her.She nodded and handed me a glass of alcohol. I downed it, the liquid burns down my throat but definitely not enough to burn down the pain in my chest.Their words. Their laughter. Their mockery—echoed in my head over and over again.My phone buzzed again, for almost

Chapter: Chapter 1Melissa's POV “I told you I was going to get her,” Ronan—my chosen mate and fiancée said, his voice echoed through the room and filled with pride like he had just won a trophy.I froze.My hand grew weak on the study's doorknob.“You really did it, Man,” Silas—his best friend and soon-to-be Beta—replied. “I can't believe the mighty Princess Melissa of House Thornhart is now head over heels for you. Who could've thought you'd have her wrapped around your fingers.“My heart beat increased. I quickly tightened my hand around the shopping bag threatening to slip off.I was with him earlier. In fact we had just finished having sex when he told me his friends were stopping by and I should quickly help them get some drinks at the mall down the street.“I won the bet, Lucien. You better pay up,” Ronan said. “Oh, chill man. You haven't married her yet,” Lucien says, followed by a laugh that did nothing but pierce into my heart. “The deal isn't sealed until she's wearing your ring.“Oh…. Godd
