The next morning I woke up on a large bed, in a large and empty room. A cold chill ran down my spine as reality hit me. I slowly sat upright before tiredly rubbing my eyes then I heard someone clear their throat. My eyes widened in shock and I immediately covered myself with my blanket before looking around the room until my eyes landed on Eros. He was standing in front of the window and he must have been staring at me for quite a while, I did not even hear him entering my room. He slowly came walking towards me and I silently watched him. He sat down on the edge of the bed and I got a whiff of his scent. His scent is so clean and serene, it's truly the only way to describe it. "Good morning, Mia." He said in a gentle tone and I couldn't bring myself to form any words. "Listen Mia I know you do not wish to be here right now but this is not a prison. This is your home now." He said and my heart started beating faster in my chest. "Eros I did not choose-" I started but he cut me off.
"With the moon goddess as my witness, I, Eros Valaires, take you, Mia Arcadius, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until parted by death," Alcander said and I looked down at my hands resting in my lap."Thank you both for reciting your vows, it is now time for your first dance." The herald said and Luna Selena and Alpha Caldron proudly smiled at Eros and me. I got up from my chair before making my way towards the dancefloor and Eros followed behind me. He held his hand out to me and I sighed lightly before I placed my hand in his. An orchestra started playing loud upbeat music and I started dancing along to it. "You look beautiful," Eros said as we danced together and I just silently stared at him."Thank you," I said shortly before he spun me around and the people surrounding us started clapping their hands in awe. "You should enjoy yourself. I can tell that you are nervous." He said a
Alcander's POV"What is the purpose of this meeting?" My father asked impatiently while he wrote something on a piece of paper and I clenched my jaw. The ten other men that were sitting around the table were dead silent." 'Tis about lady Mia, who is being forced to marry a man that she does not love," I told him and he looked up at me. "That does not concern you." He said blankly. "It does concern me if Mia is involved. We love each other father." I said and he slammed his hand down on the table and the sound echoed throughout the room. "Then stop loving her! You are about to be crowned as the king of all werewolves. You do not need a weakness, not now. So let her go." He said and I frowned at him. "That is easy for you to say since you do not love my mother. My love for Mia does not make me weak, love is not a sign of weakness. And until Mia tells me to stop I will not." I said pointedly and my father speechlessly looked at me"I forbid you Alcander!" He said in his alpha voice a
I stood in front of an open window with a shawl tightly wrapped around my arms. The wind gently blew through my hair, and I breathed in the cold air of the night. 'Tis dark and cold outside, and this night could not become any quieter. I have not spoken to Eros since our wedding ceremonies. I sighed before I brushed my hair out of my face. I assume he has his alpha duties to tend to. I also have not spoken to Miss Laurel since the morning she helped me get ready for my wedding ceremonies. All I have been thinking about was Alcander and if I could magically make one person appear in front of me right now I would choose him because I feel safest in his arms. A knock suddenly came from my door and I snapped out of my thoughts before I closed the windows. I opened the door and found an elderly woman dressed in black standing in front of me. "Pardon me for interrupting your sleep, my lady. But a raven was sent from House Arcadius, you have received a letter from a certain Lord Zion." T
I looked over at Eros who was walking beside me with a smile on his face. The weather was warm and sunny today, and there was a light breeze that gently blew through my hair. Eros decided to take me on a walk in the forest seeing that we both had nothing to do.“What have you got behind your back?” I curiously asked him before coming to a halt, and he looked over at me before his smile dropped from his face.“Nothing.” He replied shortly and I narrowed my eyes on him. “Let us walk in peace then.” He continued and I placed my hands behind my back before I continued to walk beside him. He must be holding some sort of gift behind his back, that would certainly explain the secrecy. I know this because he’s been showering me with gifts for the past three days now.“May I know where we are heading now?” I asked him and he smiled once more before his grey orbs settled on my face.“My wife is so impatient.” He said and I silently looked at him.“Your wife?” I asked while curiously looking at
“Mia, walk with me,” Father told me, and I felt my cheeks and ears heating up. Everyone was still silently staring at me, so I nodded at my father before getting up from my chair and following him out of the living area.“What did you wish to talk about?” I asked my father once we were outside, and he didn’t answer me until we were in the courtyard.“Why did you stop laughing? Was it because of something I did?” My father asked me, and I looked down at my shoes before sighing lightly.“I witnessed a murder, that of a rogue. An innocent man.” I said softly as tears pooled in my eyes. “’Tis later that I found out that it was your men that murdered him, and that you gave them the order to do so, after that, I could not bring myself to laugh,” I said before looking up at my father with a teary smile. “I was traumatized, but I chose to forgive you because I was afraid to lose you, but I won’t forgive you this time, I can't. Because once is a mistake father but twice is cheating.” I said as
Two Years Later I stared at the window as I was sitting in the doctor’s office. I stopped eating again, five days ago. And Eros thought it would be best if we came to see the doctor about it. But it is my choice to not eat. I have done this many times before so this should not come as a surprise to Eros or our doctor. Eros of course does not like it when I go on these hunger strikes but I do not care for what he likes. “Luna Mia?” The doctor called me, and I snapped out of my thoughts before looking at him. “I beg your pardon,” I said softly, and the doctor smiled at me. “Are you willing to come see me tomorrow morning for a private consultation?” The doctor asked me, and I just nodded at him before I left his office and I listened to Eros’s footsteps as he followed behind me. “Mia?” He called me and I stopped in my tracks. “We are having dinner with my parents tonight.” He said pointedly and I clenched my jaw. “And I need you to be on your best behavior.” He said pointedly before
“You may stand up,” Alcander said shortly, and I stood upright before I took my seat next to Eros. I took a glance at Alcander and found that he was already looking at me. He clenched his jaw before he looked away from me and I looked at the man sitting across from me, and I smiled at him. Zion is here and so is our father. Zion is the alpha of House Arcadius now and I am so proud of him, he smiled back at me, and just as he did so Judge Everly cleared his throat.I looked over at the old man who was now standing upright, he lifted his chin before he spoke ever so proudly. “On behalf of the king and the royal family, I would like to give a special thank you to the superiors of House Valaires for arranging this dinner. We are eager to see how things are developing here at House Valaires, we hope that this next month will be filled with adventure and knowledge.” Judge Everly said, and my eyes widened. Did I hear correctly? Are the superiors staying at House Valaires for a month? Why on
