The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER ONE
"Danielle," my dad calls. "Come downstairs please. I need to talk to you."Wondering what he wants, I make my way downstairs and into the living room. “Dad, if this is about your sandwich, you shouldn’t have left it out for me to ea-”My words get stuck in my throat as I look at the expression on his face. I stop in my tracks, studying him, “What did I do?”“We need to talk,” My father gestures towards the couch across from him.“About?” I sit down slowly, wondering why he has such a pinched look on his face."I received a message for Robert today.”There is this blankness in his tone as if he’s not altogether here.“The Alpha?” I mutter. “What does he want with me?”My father is silent for a moment and then, "He’s chosen a mate for you.”My eyes widen, “But I just turned eighteen yesterday. Isn’t that a little fast? I’ve not even gone roaming yet.”It is usually the pack alpha appoints mate unless someone has met their true mate. It’s a common practice among wolf shifter p
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER TWO
“You want me to leave the pack?” I give a shaky laugh, my tone disbelieving. “Dad, are you hearing this?”My father is staring at the ground, his fingers entwined so tight that his knuckles are white.At his lack of response, something cold moves through my body, and this time my voice is more scared, “Dad? Dad, why aren’t you saying anything?”“He agreed to this,” Robert says. “It’s for the good of the pack.”I’m beginning to feel hysterical at this point, “This is a joke, right? I can refuse, can’t I? I refuse. I won’t go. This is my home-”“Enough!” My father’s voice is sharp in a way that I’ve never heard before. I slump onto the couch, shell shocked, mumbling, “This isn’t real. This can’t be real.”“Unfortunately, it is,” Robert tells me. “The sooner you make your peace with this, the easier it will be to adjust.”“But my family is –”“This mating is a political thing, Danielle,” The Alpha says, his voice calm. “You are the only female who fits the requirements.”“But-”

It’s when Robert is leaving, I beg him, “This whole situation seems strange. Don’t leave me here. I want to go home.”“This is your new home, Danielle,” Robert’s voice is harsh. “You are not a child anymore. Try to get to know Cameron and life will be easier for you.”“But-” Tears are in my eyes.“Good God, Danielle!” Robert bursts out, displeased. “You’re acting as if I’ve thrown you to the dogs! The Moores have a whole mansion! They are rich beyond belief! They are respected in the pack! What more do you want? If I had known you were this spoilt, I would never have considered you!”His outburst makes me freeze.He gives me a sharp look, “This is your life and if you were smart about it, you would make do with this rather than acting like an infant. And till you come to terms with your new living situation, you are not to contact your old pack.”I watch him leave, my heart in my throat.My father’s aloof behavior and the Alpha’s cruel dismissive tone has me frightened out of my
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER FOUR
Cameron’s actions are vastly different from the rude way he walked out on me and the stark disgust in his eyes when he first saw me. But even now, I don’t see a trace of affection within his eyes.Three days have passed since I was brought here.Three days in which I waited in our bedroom, and he didn’t arrive, making me look like a fool. My face is flushed with humiliation on the third day when Ness arrives, with an entourage of maids.She doesn’t dress like a maid.It bothers me but Ness wears no uniform like the rest of the staff do. She usually has on a tight fitted short dress, her hair styled in waves, her cleavage on display. She is also not treated like she is a servant of the Moore family. I have to ignore the way she touches Cameron when she sits next to me at breakfast, a place that should be mine. I, on the other hand, have been demoted to sitting at the end of the table, like a stranger.Cameron doesn’t shrug off her touches end something in me breaks at the sight o

Sila growls, “That’s enough! You don’t know anything. And I’m going to be personally reporting this to your families. Whatever your personal grudge, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Moore family.”The two girls who had attacked me so violently, now have uneasy looks on their faces. “Whatever,” Lisa mutters. “She’s not going to be around here for long anyway.”They walk off and leave me trembling the arms of the two girls who had come to my rescue.It’s the other one who asks me, “Are you okay?”I try to say something, but the shock of the treatment make it difficult for me to form words.“I’m Cassie,” The girl introduces herself before looking at Sila. “Let’s get her home. She looks like she will pass out.”I shake my head, “I - Can I - Water.”Cassie jumps into action, leading me into the cafe while Sila orders some water and some food.It’s only after I have consumed something that I feel more like myself.“Thank you,” I manage to say.“Don’t mention it,” Sila’s ey

“W-What-?”Under the pain of the blow, there is shock as I look at my mother-in-law whom I had considered to be a lovely person.I’ve never had anybody hit me in my life, not even my parents.“How dare you?” Vivian hisses at me. “How dare you talk such fowl things about Ness in public? Do you even know who she is? The status she has in our family?”She grabs me by the front of my dress, not even caring that it’s already torn and throws me against the wall making me cry out in pain, “She is a part of this family! I sent you there to get to know some people, not spread lies about Ness!”“W-What?” I stammer, looking over at Ness whose eyes are red as Cameron holds her in his arms.He’s never so much as touched me.“I didn’t say anything about Ness!” My words are a cry. “Those girls attacked me! They tore my clot-”“Oh, yes,” Vivian says, furiously. “We heard about that story as well. The girls came here, crying, saying that you ripped apart your clothes because they refused to hel
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER SEVEN
It’s dark when I step outside, but I make sure not to make a sound.My face is still swollen, and I feel scared of even breathing. However, as I step outside the mansion, no one stirs.Heart pounding, I wrap the shawl around me, tighter, and slip into the direction of the town. I may be eighteen, but my wolf has not yet emerged.I know where the Alpha’s office is and despite how tired I am after the two-hour journey into the town, my heart lightens with hope when I see the light in his office is still on. Heart in my mouth, I scurry over and knock on the door.When no one responds, I knock harder, my hands shaking with fear, as I keep looking over my shoulder, expecting someone to follow me.It’s then that the door suddenly opens, and a tall man is standing in the doorway. For a moment, I squint as the light from the door nearly blinds me and then my vision clears. He’s a tall man, clean shaven and handsome with golden eyes, which are usually the mark of an Alpha. He’s quite
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER EIGHT
The strange gleam in his eyes strikes a fear in me that makes my blood go cold but when I blink, he’s giving me a concerned look, that terrifying look gone.Did I just imagine the whole thing?Jason studies me and his voice is calmer, “Leaving isn’t an option, Danielle.”“The mating mark-”He sighs, “You need to give Cameron some time-”“He hasn’t even touched me,” Tears blur my vision. “Two women I was supposed to meet today, they tore my clothes to see the mating mark and they insulted me because it wasn’t there!”Jason’s face stiffens, “What?”That terrible anger is once again in his voice, “Who? Who did that?”I wet my lips, stammering out their names, “Lisa and Dolores. Vivian arranged for me to meet them. I walked all the way into town-”“You walked?!” Jason looks furious now. “Vivian made you walk into town instead of giving you a car?”I don’t think Vivian is entirely at fault there. “She didn’t know-”“She is still responsible for you!” Jason’s voice is cold. “Of
