RAYELL.
The Alpha smiled at my response and it helped me to relax my stiff shoulders. I had not even thought that this would be my decision at the end of the day.
Agreeing to an arranged marriage.
"You won't regret your decision, Rayyel." The Alpha said and I nodded at him, hoping it would be as he had said. But at the back of my mind, I already knew that it would not be so easy.
It was the Alpha we were talkinv about, not some unknown commoner.
The next minute, he called my Dad to come over, so that they could discuss about the mating date and the arrangements needed.
I was caught off guard about the rapid procession of things, I had thought that the mating would only be in the next two months but I was wrong once again.
My Dad came in not much longer and they started discussing, leaving me out of it and ignoring my presence.
The Alpha would ask for my opinion once in a while but my Dad would protest with a strict voice.
"She would soon be your wife so she had to go with whatever you say, she does not have the right to refuse you." he said and I lowered my head while gritting my teeth.
Why was he talking like I was nothing but a bargaining chip?
The Alpha just shook his head at my Dad's statement and smiled but continued to ask for my opinion every chance he got and I appreciated the feeling of being acknowledged.
As they discussed, they both fixed the mating in one week time leaving no room for adjustments or any other thing.
It was my mating ceremony, My marriage, but I really had no say in it and I was helpless. I had envisioned how my dream marriage would be.
It was not supposed to be like this.
Dad was supposed to be happy and smiling as it was my mating they were talking about, but his face was devoid of any emotion as though it was just a normal event.
Was he just using me?
Did he just want to send me away?
These thoughts came to my mind once in awhile but I pushed it away.
It could not be the truth right?
He should still have a soft spot for his only daughter.
My life would change the moment I get mated to Alpha Phoenix but at least I would be free from the torment at home.
The only thing that is bothering me was how I was going to spend the rest of my life with the Alpha. He was a nice person but I did not love him and I had never seen my husband in him.
But now, I have to marry him even though I had decided not to marry a man that I do not love.
Fate could be funny sometimes.
What I know is that, after the mating, I would finally get the freedom that I have been yearning for all along but with the identity of the Luna.
When My Dad and the Alpha finished talking, I bidded the Alpha and left together with my Dad with a downcast expression.
With my mouth mute, I entered his car and he drove off.
I knew he would not talk as usual, so I just turned my head to the window and watched tge scenery outside, deep in thoughts. That was when my Dad's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were going to the Alpha's mansion?" he asked, his voice deeper than usual and I turned to look at him.
I had planned to end everything and clear all the misunderstanding between me and the Alpha without his knowing, because I knew that he would not like it. He wanted me to get married to the Alpha and be mated to him but he knew that I was against it, so he wanted to force me.
I had thought that after telling the Alpha that I was not interested on marrying him, he would talk to my Dad about it and everything would end there.
But, my plan did not work and I ended up agreeing to the mating myself because I had no choice and that there was nothing else I could do.
If I wanted to get my revenge on that witch, Linda, I would have to have a high status and power to do so. My Dad was a very reputable person in the pack and his mate too, so dealing with her would not be easy if I was powerless and do not have any power backing me up.
But, with the power and position of the Luna, I should be able to deal with her and those that have mocked me and looked down on me. I might be a weak omega but I was unique in my own way.
"I just wanted to use the chance to see him." I replied to my Dad, whose face became darker in anger.
"To see him or to reject the marriage?" he questioned and I lowered my head.
He already knew.
"I did not want to marry him." I whispered and he snorted.
"Even if I have to force you or do any other thing, you must agree to the marriage. I do not care whether you are willing or not, you have to marry him." he said calmly and I stared at him in terror.
Why was he so adamant about my marriage with the Alpha?
Why was he doing this?
"But...Dad.. why are you doing this? I do not love him...." I said with tears brimming in my eyes, trying to make him reason with me.
I already agreed to the marriage and will not change my mind again, but I wanted to see what his reaction would be.
Would he sympathize with me and change his mind?
"Do you think I care if you do? what I know is that, you have to marry him and I do not want to know how." he replied coldly and I clenched my fists tightly to stop myself from lashing out at him.
A teardrop rolled down my cheek slowly and I quickly turned to the window so that he would not see the fall of my tears.
"I understand." I mumbled underneath my breath and he nodded heavily.
"Very well." his face was still as calm as before, there were no ripples on them and it made me wonder if he was just deceiving my mom when she was still alive and the days they were married.
Was he really my Father?
Was this his true colour?
Silence resumed into the car after he said that but my heart was in turmoil.
It seems he already had everything planned.
The moment we got home, I ran into my room and wept into the pillow.
I was tired of being useless, tired of being helpess and tired of been ordered to do something.
My life had always revolved around those three things.
I was still crying when I suddenly heard the voice of Linda from the sitting room, it seems she was having an argument with my Dad.
"Never, I will not agree to it. Why should she get married to the Alpha? just get her married to some guy and send her away, why should it be with the Alpha?" Linda roared and I scoffed.
She did not want me to be happy and she felt like I would be happy if I get married to the Alpha, the selfish woman wanted me to suffer.
"Listen to me Linda, it is for the best." My Dad tried to explain and I cringed at how gentle his voice sounded that moment.
He had only talked to my Mom and I in that kind of tone when i was still young, but now it changed.
Was he not the one behaving such cruelly to me earlier?
He suddenly changed when he started talking to that woman.
So ironic.
This time, I felt bad for my Mom, she had been living in an illusion for years, thinking this two-faced man loves her but it was a lie.
My poor Mother.
"You did not even seek for my opinion before introducing her to the Alpha, how could you do that to me? Don't I deserve to know something of such importance?" Linda said again, her voice trembled this time like she was about to cry and I nearly laughed in jest.
Such an actress.
"I have already decided on the Mating day with the Alpha, it can no longer be changed, I also did not plan on keeping the matter from you but I had to be fast about it." My Dad told her.
"But, why do you want her to be mated to the Alpha?" Linda asked and I strained my ears to listen.
I also wanted to know why he decided to match-make me with the Alpha of all people, what made him think of the Alpha as my husband?
He was out of my league in every way possible.
So, I was confused why he came to that decision all of a sudden.
"The reason is that I...... let's go inside." he suddenly stopped talking and everywhere became silent, then I heard the sound of the door banging.
Sighing, I walked back to my bed and laid down, I had wanted to know the reason why he wanted me to be together with the Alpha, but he was too secretive.
And it confused me.
What was he hiding?
HENRY.Living with same girl under same roof for more than eight years is getting me choked, and i knew i had to get rid of her very soonHer mother was a very powerful omega and she was from a good family, her family was reputable in the pack but she fell in love with me first.I had never liked her because I knew that I could only become more powerful after marrying her, I had no choice but to accept.Then, I had to pretend to love her so that she would not leave me or complain to her family because it was only because of her that the Alpha acknowledged me.The power that came with being her husband was very addicting and I had to continue until she gave birth. Unfortunately, the child was not as powerful as her mother, Charlotte. Because of this reason, no one accepted her, even Charlotte's family looked down on her.The problem was that Charlotte cared for the girl a lot, I could only pretend support her and scold anybody that tried to bully her even though I was unwilling.Charlo
RAYELL.The mating was fixed and I needed to go by it regardless of whether It was advantageous for me or not. Every one of the arrangements was made by the Alpha and my Father, they didn't let me know some other thing other than the date of the marriage and mating custom.My crowning ceremony as the Luna of the pack was additionally around the same time.That was when I would be announced as the Luna of this pack, it felt unreal but I had no choice. I don't even know why Alpha Phoenix wanted me to be his mate, could he have an ulterior motive?Even if he does, there was nothing I could do, I needed the position of the Luna desperately. Although I do not know anything about the Alpha or the pack, I still had to get mated to him.Then, a knock sounded at my door and I quickly went to open it to see Linda and a middle-aged woman."Take her measurements." Linda told the woman calmly without sparing me a glance."Yes ma'am.""I would not want you to taint my image in the ceremony, so she
RAYELL’S POVThe morning sun rose skywards, shining upon the vast piece of land, it was the start of a new day.The day had finally came, I would be mated to the Alpha today and I would also have my coronation as the Luna, everything was on the same day.I stood still in front of the mirror and allowed the make-up artist and her subordinates to change my outlook. My eyes were droopy and sunken, due to lack of sleep.I was anxious and could not sleep well because of the events that would be hapoening today.Today would mark the begining and end of some things in my life and I could not help but be nervous.It was rare for Linda to allow me to use her room as I prepared, but I knew she was doing it so that people would not get the impression that she was a bad stepmother and was maltreating me.She would talk to the make-up artist about some trivial things and would compliment on my look once in while, portraying a perfect and nice step-mother. I was the only one that knew what I had go
ALPHA PHOENIX. When I saw the girl, I had instantly felt the mate bond but I remained calm and pretended to be okay whereas I was not.The mate link was very intense that I had to use all my mental control to stop my wolf from growling out 'mate'. She was a wolf and a weak one at that, so that was probably the reason why she could not feel the mate bond.She was also a pretty girl but because of the way she was maltreated, her beauty was not obvious but I could see it clearly. She was timid in personality but when she voiced out that she did not want to get mated to me, I already knew that she was not that weak but the situation was making her weak.I knew what she wanted the most and it was freedom from her step-mother, I had made my assitant do some investigations about her and I found out about everything, so I used what she wanted to make her agree to the mating, I did not want to let her go. Not wanting her to stay in that house anymore, I decided to organize the wedding and ma
RAYYEL.The coronation went surprisingly well and I was successfully crowned the Luna of our pack. Alpha Phoenix had been smiling at me throughout the entire process but I could not look at him in the eye.He was already my mate and I had just became his Luna but I was still finding it difficult to adjust to everything. I would not be going home today but will start staying with the Alpha, it scared me. I was not sure if I could deal with anything related to the pack.I had not even thought that the coronation was going to be like this, I thought the officiator would just announced me as the Luna and that was it, but the Alpha had prepared many things.The hall we used was even well decorated, although there were not many people in the hall, it was good and okay by me because I did not want many people in the first place.I knew that from now on, I would have to tend to myself, no one will look after me. Although no one was looking after me in my father's house but maltreating me inst
ALPHA PHOENIX. The morning rays of the sun were filled with vitality as its golden light cascaded over the great earth. The sun rises and sets as if on fast-forward, as if there was some divine hurry to reach the winter. Though the sun is still bright, still brilliant in the sky, it is cooler even on the days that lack cloud.I squinted my eyes opened and took a deep breath of the cool air that seeped in through the slightly opened window.When I tried to get up, I felt a weight on my shoulder and legs and my eyes narrowed, who came in?Then, I turned to look and saw an angelic face that soothed the frown on my face subconsciously. I had forgotten that I had a mate already.Rayell.One glance at her was all it took to make my heart beat faster, she looked very adorable and tender in her sleep. She had a natural beauty that was hard to find.Her hair was long, soft and silky to the touch. Her nose was straight and she had a round face which is soft and smooth almost like a porcelain
RAYELL.When I opened my eyes this money, his charming and manly face was the first thing I saw. It was the first time that I would look at his face up close like that.We were so close that I could see the tiny pores on his face, his eyes that were like black gems twinkled in mischief and were full of smiles, it made me wondered what he was thinking and what he had in plan.His thin lips was curled upward into a tiny smile and his warm breath fanned my face, tickling my senses.He was so handsome. He was striking, as if angels had carved his looks, no one would be able to take their eyes off him and I was one of them. From his delicate curls to his square jaw, Alpha Phoenix was graceful in every sense, in and out.He was handsome from the depth of his eyes to the gentle expressions of his voice and the ways his eyes flickered with mirth as he stared at me.His attention on me made me feel good, it felt nice to have the attention of an handsome greek god like the Alpha, what made me
RAYELL.The second I entered the restroom and glanced around, my eyes enlarged into saucers and my mouth went agape at the extravagance and rich washroom.Bold, mosaic wall tile makes the vanity in this bathroom the true focal point. Incorporating the same mosaic tile as an accent on the bathroom floor ties this design element into the rest of the space creating balance and unity.A sleek glass shower cubicle along with shining shower handles and handsets adds a classy touch to the bathroom. A custom-designed walk-thru shower can be made with two sets of showerheads, body jets and sprays.Having different spaces allotted for the shower base, a dry area to change and some room to move about.It was the most spacious bathroom that I have ever seen in my life, my Dad's bath room could never be compared to this. I loved the place.It was as If I had entered a different space, I stripped and went under the shower after turning the switch clockwise, this was not my room where my switch was
