A crippled Alpha, a runaway bride

The first wedding that happened was of Alpha Joseph. He wore a black tuxedo, his shoes shining. He possessed a calm aura. His bride, Charmain Sandows, was looking so beautiful and innocent.

After the wedding rituals were done, Joseph and Charmain settled in their seats.

After a while drums echoed and another bride came in. As the bride came closer, she was beginning to think that Joseph was her groom. But, that wasn't it when she saw Joseph with his bride.

"May the groom come closer please" the high priest said, preparing the scriptures of the wedding vows. 

When the groom came closer, the bride was stunned. She thought it was a prank.

"Is this my mate!" Bewildered, she asked, looking around.

"Yes, I am your mate. Any problem?" Pharrell asked, raising his eyebrows and looking up at her.

"No that's  not possible…it can't be" she backed away from him.

"My dear, come forward so we'll have to continue the ceremony" the priest said, seeing the young lady back away.

"No, I can't be mated to him…" The lady said and turned to her heels.

"My dear you can't run away from your wedding…he is to be Alpha" the priest tried pleading with the lady.

"No, you want me to be mated with someone who is in a wheelchair! He's crippled for crying out loud!" She cried.

"And you mom and dad! You knew all along that I'm going to mate with a crippled Alpha ?…I'm so disappointed in you two!" Holding her dress on both sides she ran out of the wedding hall…crying hysterically.

People began whispering. 

"How could they do this to the poor girl"

"How did they hide such a thing from us"

"We thought the child was dead."

"Queen mother, how can you do this to us…we thought our alliance with you will bring good news to the people. But, you lied to us…making us think that our daughter will marry a walking alpha" Mr Chandler, the runaway bride's father said.

 The bride's family were known for their nobility in the kingdom  and were easy to reason with…in that city, that's why the Queen mother decided to form an alliance with them.

"This family is pathetic…they dared keep this crippled son of theirs in the name of him being the leading pack" Mrs Chandler spat maliciously. The royal family knew that being crippled was considered an abomination. That's why many were left in the old age home or to the orphanage if they were kids.

"You're not so innocent are you Queen Mother?" Mr Chandler said and looked at the Queen mother disdainfully. She paraded herself as if she was any better. But, no.

Pharrell, hearing people insulting  his grandmother, wheeled his chair towards where they were.

"Mr Chandler, I dare you to say anything bad about my grandmother and I'll have your head decapitated!" He clenched his fist so much that his knuckles turned white.

"How are you going to have my head when you can't even lift a finger…you're not supposed to be the Alpha of this kingdom and pack. And how can we be led by a crippled Alpha?" Mr Chandler said, getting everyone's attention.

"How can you be so sure that a crippled Alpha will not rule over you?!" Pharrell was beginning to get irritated. These people were nothing but chancers. He won't let anyone degrade his grandmother when he is still alive.

The commotion started…people were beginning to enjoy Houston's family drama.

Of course nobody would like to be ruled by a crippled king.

…

The Noxus family came close to them after Mr and Mrs Chandler left.

"Queen mother, how are you?" Alpha Noxus said, bowing to the Queen mother, so did his Mate.

"I'm fine my son and you? How have you been? Thank you for gracing us with your presence" Queen Alina said.

"No need to thank me, my queen…I'm always glad to appear anywhere you call me" he said and took the queen mother's hand and took her to sit somewhere.

"You know the reason I called you here right?" Queen Alina asked and patted his hands.

"Yes, my Queen, but I'll do it once there is a wife for him. Unless you want Joseph to lead the pack" he questioned, thinking the queen had now changed her mind.

"Not at all…i just have to find him a wife by hook or by crook. And i can't  live for long my son" she said with a tear faced.

"Don't worry my Queen. Once you find him a mate I'll be here to crown him and he has quite a temper. I wonder if these people will survive" Alpha Noxus said, chuckling. He could see from afar how much temper Pharrell held. It was like a monster waiting to be unleashed.

"You're a good man Noxus…no wonder my grandson envies you…despite you being of the same age." Noxus was a good and calm King who knew how to rule his pack. He was not so handsome like Pharrell, but he could be counted as one of the best.

 

"Okay child, let me not keep you…send my regards to your father" the queen said and gestured for Marah to take some gift for them.

After bidding their farewell to the queen they got into their cars and went away.

In Pharrell's room, everything was a mess. He smashed everything on the floor. His chest rose and fell in steadiness as he looked at Phillips who stood there like a statue bowing his head…

"And you dared find a classless family to give me a mate?…knowing full well that they'd insult my grandmother huh Philips?" Pharrell turned and looked at Phillips.

"My lord,I'm sorry…I didn't think they'd cause such a scene." Philips was afraid of Pharrell's temper. No one was safe around him. He had always been like this since childhood…and being in a wheelchair did nothing.

"Of course you didn't think…how would you think when you're busy banging the maids" not that he didn't want him to have fun. But he was beginning to slack on his job. And hearing him, Phillips lowered his head in shame.

"My apologies, my lord. It'll never happen again" he bowed.

"Yes. It'll never happen again because, this time I want you to find her. And only her!" He growled out in anger. Philip's eyes widened in shock. He thought the Prince forgot about his…

"But, my lord, it's been years now. How can we possibly…" so many years have passed. He didn't think it was possible to find her.

"Philips, you do as I say and we'll get along just fine okay?" His sinister smile told him to back away.

"Yes my lord" he bowed his head and excused himself.

"Oh! Philips, as you rest for the night; please come up with ideas on how to torture the Chandlers. You know no one gets to mess with my grandmother and gets away with it.''he said and waved his hand for Philips to go, who breathed a sigh of relief upon getting out of the room.

Phew!!

It was suffocating to be in the same room as Pharrell…

Back in the room, Pharrell looked outside the castle…it was getting dark and the lights surrounding it made it look more magnificent.

He watched as the guards patrolled around, holding arrows and bows and some holding swords.

From where he was, he could look at the entire city he was about to rule…

His kingdom. And only his.

He clenched his hand remembering what transpired at noon after his bride ran away.

"I hope they're  ready to handle the heat" he muttered to himself and closed the curtains…a sinister smirk on his face.
