Tessa’s POV:Dress the way you want to be addressed. It’s a saying that has been proven right over and over again throughout the decades. If I wanted to start getting addressed as an alpha’s wife, I had to start dressing like one.My eyes shifted to the tall plywood wardrobe nested at the other end of the room beside the window. I wasn’t sure I would find anything inside to wear, but still I decided to try either way. Half expectantly, I walked up to the wide container and swung it open. A burst of a variety of different colorful dresses greeted me as they hung from the wardrobe extension. How were there so many dresses already arranged inside the wardrobe? It was either this was someone else’s clothes or the wardrobe was arranged beforehand.My heart stopped pumping blood for a minute. If these were someone else’s clothes, the only person coming to mind was… Tori.My hands grazed over the fabric of the clothes and halted when I reached a red dress. I pulled out the dress from the h

Tessa’s POV:The introduction ceremony yesterday went smoothly after Tori’s dramatic appearance. I don’t think I would enjoy the ceremony half as much as I did. There was dancing, a round-up introduction of the pack members: the beta, omega, and every other position. The food was also amazing.I woke up this morning with the intention of sightseeing the estate. Since I came, I have only seen inside the house and the garden. Amelia and the girls told me there was still so much to see and do and that I wouldn’t get bored for even a day.I have formed a sort of bond between Amelia, Grace, Lily, and Kate. We all were gathered in my room this morning, gisting as they made the bed and cleaned the room. I had quickly used that opportunity to learn more about Tori’s and Lucian’s relationship.“Yeah, they were in a serious relationship back then, and everyone thought they would eventually get married.” Grace said, dusting the window bar with a cloth.“So what happened?” I replied, my curiosity

Tessa’s POV:The tune the orchestra played sounded like the soundtrack to a Disney princess movie. It was soft, magical, and almost cloud-like. It didn’t feel like I was walking into the open garden; it felt like I was floating on white, foamy clouds.At both sides of the wide space were the house members, all on their feet, wide smiles plastered on their faces as I walked past. One would think I was the very sun and they were just seeing light for the first time in their lives.At the center of the picturesque garden stood Lucian, elegant in his ceremonial wear: a white cotton shirt that was almost knee-length and a pair of fitted white pants to match. Even from a distance, it was hard not to notice how hot he looked. How perfect his slicked-back long hair shaped his sharp jawline and how his muscles hugged his drip.When I reached where Lucian stood, our eyes locked, and I could see it. A deep yearning on his face, like he had been waiting for me his whole life. My heart couldn’t he

Tessa’s POV:I woke up to the early morning sunlight rays streaming through the open window. I raised my head from the side of the bed where I lay beside Lucian, who was still sleeping, observing his bandaged lower abdomen.Boyd and Felix had fortunately found us last night in the woods. Apparently as a result of failing to keep watch over me, Lucian had punished them, but Olivia had given them the opportunity to reduce their punishment by coming to find us.I stayed with Lucian in his room the whole night while they treated his wound till daybreak. Even when the pack’s doctor advised me to go to rest as I was also involved in the traumatic ordeal, I refused.I rubbed my hand against the woolen bandage, memories of Lucian diving in front of me to block the arrow. He literally put his life on the line for me, but I didn’t understand why. “Why did you do it?” I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper.All this talk of me being his bride. I had seen it as mere absurdity, but the fact

Lucian’s POV:“You know each other?” Tessa looked from me to the opposing man, a confused look spread on her face.I flashed a confused look at the man holding an arrow straight to my face. It was now I was just seeing his face clearly under the flickering yellow lamp. My lips twitched with shock at the realization of who this man was.“Isaac?” I was dumbfounded.“In the flesh.” He smirked, the claw mark on his cheek contracting slightly. The claw mark that I gave him during our last fight.Isaac used to be part of the Bloodmoon pack, my pack. But after the day I was cursed by… after the curse locked my ability to be able to stay shifted in my wolf form for long. Some people saw it as an opportunity to take over my position as lycan king.One of those people who saw my curse as my biggest weakness and the perfect opportunity to strike was Isaac, a former beta. He had secretly plotted to get me poisoned. Normally the poison wouldn’t really affect me because I would shift to my wolf for

Lucian’s POV:“Have you found her?” My worry was plain as day in my tone.The guard hesitated before he spoke. “No, sir. We've searched the whole area and the surrounding vicinity, but she's nowhere to be found.” “How on earth can an 18-year-old girl manage to escape such a fortress?” I thundered, causing the men standing before me to shudder.I cast my sight to the two men on their knees: Felix and Boyd. “You two,” my hands were pointed straight at them. “I had instructed you to keep watch over her door. What is your excuse?”The taller one spoke, looking to the ground to avoid my eyes. “Sir… we thought you instructed everyone to gather at the garden, and so we left to attend the ceremony.” His words were shaky as he spoke.The other nodded in agreement.These incompetent nincompoops. They left their duty without permission, and they're somehow trying to twist it to be my fault. They deserved to be punished.“Your excuse is futile,” I proclaimed. “As a result of the failure of your
