CHAPTER 1

Tanya’s POV

“I now pronounce you husband and wife. "

The day those words were uttered in the presence of my family and other respected people of the Three Werewolf Kingdom, was the day my life took a turn for the worst.

Not having a choice and wanting to please my father, I agreed to marry him without a thought of what I might actually want for myself. Despite everything that was being said about him, I didn't think twice about sacrificing my forever just for my father to be happy and satisfied.

After all, he had trained me to believe that women were subject to men and they had to do what men instructed them to.

I followed him home and that was when the real hell started. I still remembered my father's words to me as I unknowingly got into the car that would take me to my misery.

“Have a sweet and romantic marriage!"

Her wedding might have been anything but romantic. Her misery started from there.

Not only did he leave me alone that night, he locked me in a room with no beds and one window still in my wedding dress.

I had cried my eyes out that night, hoping that my father would change his mind and come take me out of here but I knew that would not happen, so she endured every pain and stayed.

I was a strong girl, there was no doubt about that but I was also very softhearted which meant that everything that Arturo did affected me in one way or another even if I didn't want it to.

I was barely let out of the room that I had been kept in and the only time I had human interaction was when the maids brought me food or my monthly care products.

I normally asked questions like what the day was, what Arturo wore today, what he ate last night. Despite the ill treatment that I received, I persisted.

A promise had been made to love in front of several witnesses and even though I wanted to leave him, no one would support me. Everyone feared Arturo so they wouldn't want to do anything that would make him upset or get on his bad side. 

I had got used to being alone. The first  time I left that room since the day I had been put there was when the maid came in and told me that the Alpha had demanded to see me tonight.

 

I was surprised at what he might want and I couldn't help but worry about it.

“Um, what month is it?"  I asked the maid.

“August."

I stopped in my tracks and stared at the maids back as I walked away. My marriage was in January.

The maid had helped me freshen up and picked out a dress for me. I couldn't help but wonder what my husband of eight months who locked me in a cell and forgot about me wanted all of a sudden.

Truly, the rumors had been right. He really was a beast and I believed that truly he was cursed.

Everyone hated him but they were afraid that he would harm them.

Arturo wasn't like other Alphas. A curse had been placed on him due to his promiscuity. Before then, he was the most sought out man in all the Werewolf Kingdom.

Women actually threw themselves at him and embarrassed themselves just to get his attention and Arturo had taken due advantage of each and everyone of them.

After he had his way with them, that was the end of the conversation. The Moon goddess eventually got angry and even when she confronted him about it, he didn't seem remorseful.

In anger, she placed a curse on him. Since he took so much pride in his looks, she cursed him to look older than his age. Though I saw him once and that was on our wedding day.

He had tried everything he could to take the curse away but he just couldn't find a solution. People had run away from him and he was angered by the situation and it turned him into an angry and irrational tyrant ruler who ruled with an iron fist.

No one agreed to come close to him again so when my father brought the idea of him marrying me, he didn't hesitate to agree.

I had hoped that I would be able to tame the beast while fulfilling the mission my father sent me there for.

“Make him fall in love with you and then kill him." Those words were still vivid in my memory and can never be forgotten.

All the plans that I had made for myself had gone down the drain without a second thought.

The maid had come in and offered me food. The bed felt so soft and I had almost slept off on it. Since it had been a very long time since I had a good meal, I quickly wolfed down what was on the plate.

Maybe the man everyone called a beast was having a change of mind. Maybe he finally wanted to be nice, to show his real side.

I had fallen asleep when the door opened and I got up quickly from the bed. The first thing I noticed was that the room reeked of alcohol and the figure that had just walked in was staggering towards me.

Suddenly, I didn't feel at peace anymore and I was about to scream for help when the man got on top of me and pinned me down to the bed.

“Shhh, you will shut up or I will do something worse that will make you scream till you never get your voice back." The person told me curtly.

With that threat alone, I simply grew limp and lay on the bed. I wondered where Arturo had gone. When the person moved to tie my hands to the bed head, the lamp shone a bit on his face and that was when I saw him. The man I had been sold to.

“Arturo?” I called inwardly.

Because of the shock, I obediently lay there and did nothing as he raped me.

The force in all his action that gave me no warmth, the pressure that took over his dick as he thrust into me and his stinking breath. It made me nauseous, though I was too weak to push him away.

That was the first time he raped me. But it wasn't the last.
