Angelina POV. 

The Alpha has been silent for too long, not that I care anyways. I'm only concerned about my safety.

And there's also the issue of the fantasy novel that Leslie is always reading about. How would I ever imagine there are such things as a werewolf?

What other things am I missing? Are there mermaids as well? And vampires? And Phoenix?

A sigh escaped my lips as I laid back on the floor. My father was taken back to a separate cell after our last conversation.

He promised to think of the best way to prove his innocence. I've been trying to do the same but I'm just so occupied. How am I even supposed to proffer a solution when I don't know much about these people?

If I had known that a day like this would come, I would have taken Leslie very seriously. 

Perhaps, there could be another way to get into the Alpha's heart and let him see that my father is truly innocent.

"You seem too quiet today," a teasing voice reached my ears.

I looked up at the figure at the entrance. At first, I thought it was the Alpha and my heart made a sudden thud in my chest.

The figure laughed so devilishly and took two steps toward me. I'm finally able to see him clearly. 

I scoffed. "Are you here to blab? Well, it won't be a surprise to me since that's the only thing you can do right."

"You really have a sharp mouth. Thanks to the Alpha you are still able to use it," he placed my lunch in front of me.

That's weird too. Why is the Alpha not here to threaten me? Why is he not trying to force the words out of me as he had always done? What could be wrong?

"Thanks to that, I'm starting to get familiar with your stinking self!" I snapped.

He regarded me for a moment and I could feel the heat emanating from him. He seemed angry but he was trying his best to stay cool. 

But wait a minute, if this is about me, about my father, then does it mean the Alpha might have trusted in our words? He might probably have investigated the matter and discovered the truth.

Maybe that's why he is so quiet.

The thought of it pushed a smile to my face and I felt a surge of happiness. My father would be glad to hear this. 

The man moved towards the entrance, then met with someone else. They spoke silently as if they didn't want me to spy on their words.

Then, the man turned towards me again. I couldn't see him clearly but the movement of his body showed that he was chuckling.

"Enjoy the smile while it last because it's the last that you will ever do," he warned sternly.

I felt a stab of annoyance immediately, at his words. "That's why you are so ugly. If you can't let me smile in peace, then I can assure you that your life isn't colorful!" I spat back, word for word. He won't bring me down.

"Seriously?" He hovered above me for a moment and I saw him smirk.

I decided to ignore him. He's not worth my trouble after all. It would be very shocking for him after his Alpha declares my freedom.

However, he bent before me and stretched out a card.

"Read for yourself. You won't get me to do this for you again!"

Hissing, I moved my head towards the content on the card. I would have dismissed it if it wasn't for the bold letters of my name.

My eyes went wider as I discovered it was a wedding invite and the name of the bride is Angelina. No! That can't be me, right?

I looked up at the guy and my breath got caught in my throat. "What is this? The Alpha is getting married? What does it have to do with me?"

He laughed, a devilish one that would have got me angry as usual but I found myself sulking, my heart coming very fast.

"You dare-devil, I thought you were as brilliant as how fast you sprew insults! See!" He pointed at the cards. "The Alpha is getting married to you! You will be the new Luna."

I zoom off like a jet off to the planet and it took me a while before I could jerk myself back to the mundane world.

Several words formed on my lips but I can't even bring myself to push them out. I suddenly lost my voice.

Almost immediately, I could feel wetness on my cheeks.

"Aww," the man smiled. "A pity? I would have loved to watch your smile again," he teased and stood.

I tried to speak again. "I want to see the Alpha," this time around, my voice didn't betray me.

"What?" Maybe he heard me and pretended not to or if he didn't, that I can't even say.

"I want to speak with him! Take me to your Alpha!" I screamed at the top of my voice.

He sighed. "As you wish princess," there was another teasing smile on his face.

This was why he was quiet. He had been planning the best way to make my life miserable and that was what he had come up with.

I can't do this.

No!

I have a life somewhere else. Somewhere far from this miserable place and from this miserable, unkind and stupid creatures. No! I mentally yelled.

***

In a few minutes, I was standing in front of the Alpha's room, after walking several corners. The Alpha's room was incredibly far from the prison.

The man untied me and gestured for me to enter the room.

Massaging my hurting arms slightly, I stepped into the dark room. 

It's not entirely dark now as my eyes have adjusted to my surroundings and I can see a lamp in a corner of the room. 

A figure was on the chair, some miles away.

"You can't take my life away from me!" I yelled angrily.

"Says who?" A voice reached my ears from behind.

I whirled around quickly until I'm staring right into the Alpha's face. Who was on the chair then?

His eyes bore into mine, and I could feel the hatred bounce off them. "I didn't ask for your opinion, Angelina."

"But, you can't take away my life. I'm only nineteen!" I cried. "Please, don't do this to me!"

"I will be out with other jobs," another voice reached my ears and I realized it was the man that sat on the chair. I watched him walk out of the room before I turned towards the Alpha again.

"Please," I beseeched softly. "Don't do this to me. I can do anything else but not this."

He regarded me for a moment, his expression cold and defiant. "But you don't have a choice, Princess. You should be glad that I'm not killing your father, just yet," he turned away from me and took a cup filled with whatever was on the table. "Though, I may decide to change that if you can give me an heir. If you can do this, I will release your father and you can return to your home."

"No!" I sobbed even harder. "My life would be gone already! Don't do this to me!" I yelled out.

There was a swift movement and my back was suddenly against the wall, with the Alpha's body pressed against me.

"Do you think I want to do this as well?" His voice was hard. "Your father killed my wife with my heir. What do you expect me to do?" He snapped, like an angry lion.

I couldn't talk, I couldn't even cry. It seemed like something shut me off immediately. No, it was the Alpha. There's something about him that's scary. I'm just so scared.

"If you love yourself and you still want to see your father again, then you will give me an heir, understood?" He yelled in my face.

I found myself nodding in fear, as the tears streamed down my face.

He turned away and moved to open the door. "Prepare my wife-to-be. The wedding is in two days," he ordered one of the girls.

I saw my life pass away in front of me.

I felt them set the bounds of our battle.The duel was on.Marco launched himself at me with speed and precision, an attack of teeth and claws and his eyes giving off that aura of danger and confusion.Werewolves didn't feel things the way people did, we were connected to nature in a way no other creature could be and we felt things a lot stronger than any other creature.So when Marco placed his eyes on me and attacked, the dark magic that fueled that glow in his eyes made me falter.Marco struck with aim and precision, going straight for my hind legs and slashing for my throat.I dodged his slash but I felt his teeth sink into my hands.I howled and gave in to the w
