Chapter 0004

BRUNA’S POV

My pulse quickened as I inhaled the captivating fragrance of his sweet pine mingled with the intoxicating musk emanating from his strapping body. It stirred an insatiable hunger, and my mouth watered, yearning for more. Never had I smelled something so delicious that got me weak on my knees and my heart thudded against my chest.

I closed my eyes and enjoyed Alpha Silas’ tantalizing, dangerously attractive scent that formed several knots in my stomach until I could feel his muscles stiffening. In the next fleeting second, he shoved me aside. I stared at the mark I just carved in the crook of his neck before reaching for his eyes. My simmering temptation crushed into pieces as I reached for his gaze, which pierced me with an intense glare.

He glared at me for a moment, and I shook under his radar. Fortunately, he released me from his glare when he turned to the audience and announced in his sharp, cold voice, “From now on, she is the Luna of the Blood Moon Pack!”

Everyone appeared overjoyed as they gave a round of applause, except for my parents, standing in a corner. Though they were clapping, their faces were plastered with disgust. I sensed my stepmom wasn’t happy seeing me as the Luna of such a powerful pack.

Soon, the round of applause settled, and the priest announced, “Now I announce that Alpha Silas Raynott and Regina Walters are officially married!”

In a celebration show, applause erupted once more to commemorate our union. I noticed Frederick, Alpha Silas’ brother, approaching us shortly after. Positioning himself by Alpha Silas’ wheelchair, he scanned me from head to toe and smirked, remarking, “Congratulations, Brother Silas, on marrying such a young and stunning lady!”

I grew jittery from the way Frederick was ogling at me.

He continued, “As a husband and a wife, I hope you have a lovely mating session on your wedding night!”

He then bent down and whispered something into Silas’ ears, but I was able to catch his mocking words.

“Oops, you are crippled, and it would be difficult for you to mate, isn’t it? Don’t worry, you can call me. I can help you mate…”

His words left me dumbfounded, and Alpha Silas appeared equally displeased. He was infuriated by his brother’s interference. His loose hands were now curled into tight fists, and his veins throbbed, showing his anger.

He cut him off in the middle, “Frederick!”

Frederick clicked his tongue before smirking, “I mean, I can help you mate with her!”

Alpha Silas seethed with intense anger, seemingly on the verge of punching his brother’s face at any moment. Yet, he made a concerted effort to maintain composure. Piercing him with a withering gaze, he locked eyes with me and said, “Regina, go see your family for the last time before leaving for your new home!”

Why was there a need to meet my parents? Was I going to miss them? Hell No! How on earth would I want to meet those who sold me for money and trapped me with the most dangerous and ugly Alpha Silas? But do I have any options? Disobeying Alpha Silas meant inviting trouble into the hell I had just entered.

I nodded and walked down the stage to where my parents were standing. My dad saw me approaching them, and he rolled his eyes in disgust, turned his back, and left. That was heartbreaking, and I clung to my white gown tightly, venting my pain on it. However, I was shocked to see my stepmother still standing at her spot.

She walked up to me, and her face had a different emotion. So, now she would pretend like my real mother and cry for me. Her hands cupped my face, and she feigned innocence, “Oh, Regina, I will miss you so much!”

That sweetness in her tone was like poison to me. Hysterically, she threw her arms around me and cried, “I will miss you so much!”

Suddenly, that soft hug turned gruff as she deliberately tightened her hands around me in an attempt to suffocate me. Her voice was now devoid of sweetness as she whispered, “Listen to me, Bruna! From now on, you are Regina! Better behave well! Whatever Alpha Silas says is final. Follow every order of his! If he orders you to be his maid, then be one, and if he would like to make you his slave and spread your legs apart, obey without any delay!”

Her words shook me to the core, making me feel like an object. Her words pierced my heart while her rough hands clawed me and scraped my shoulders. How could she be this cruel to me?!

She released me from the tight grasp, and her face reflected her evil darkness as she warned me, “If I get any complaint from Alpha Silas’ end about YOU, that very moment your grandmother breathes her last!”

She left after throwing a fake benign look at me. Once the ceremony ended, the guests departed, leaving only me, my husband, and a few of his intimate pack members in the spacious banquet hall. With my head bowed low, I approached Alpha Silas.

He looked at me and said, “I’ll ask the driver to take you home. I have some other things to take care of.”

Without striking eye contact with him, I nodded in agreement. I was led outside the banquet hall and saw my husband sitting in a black range rover across from me. I puffed out a sigh. It was a relief I was not left alone with him! But for how long would that last?

As I gazed upward, I beheld the sun slowly descending toward the horizon. It will be nighttime by the time I arrive at my new pack house, and I will be alone in our bedroom with my husband, the most dangerous Alpha in the werewolf world. The thought of being in the same room and bed with him on our first wedding night was scaring me out! This marriage was just a facade! I became all his the moment he might have offered my parents a million dollars! Now the next scary stage of my life was our first wedding night. What would he do to me?
