Mia's POVI slowly opened my eyes and felt the harsh rays of light piercing through the blinds. My head was pounding, and my mouth felt like sandpaper.When I tried to move, I realized I was in “someone's arms!” I gasped in surprise and turned to my left to see who was lying on the bed with me, and to my surprise, it was alpha Ricardo staring at me blankly.I jerked away from his embrace and jumped out of bed, my eyes wide with surprise. I stared, perplexed, at the room, which was decorated in the style of a bridal suite. With panting breath, I cast a quick glance at my clothes, only to discover that I was dressed in traditional wedding attire. ''What….'' I stammered in fear and held Alpha Ricardo's gaze. ''Tell me it's…'' I paused and went for my neck, only to feel a fresh cut on my neck.With panting breaths, I scrambled to the mirror and stood before it. I moved my head sideways, and my breath seized at what I saw. ''No!'' I yelled and placed my finger on it. Quickly, I closed my e
Alpha Ricardo's POVWith a heavy sigh, I emptied the glass of wine into my mouth, and while going to fill the next cup, my door opened, forcing my attention to it. ''Alpha Ricardo.'' Mia yelled angrily as she marched forward to me, still in the wedding dress, ''What is the meaning of this?'' She screamed, fuming with rage and anger. ''I'm now a prisoner?'' She yelled, holding my gaze with hate. ''I won't let that happen, Alpha Ricardo; you have no authority over me,'' She yelled while I just stood and watched, her fumed with anger. I wanted to speak, but I was short of words.''And this…'' She yelled and went for the ring on her finger, ''What makes you think I would accept this marriage?'' She asked bitterly and struggled to take the ring off her finger. Quickly, I fixed my gaze on the ring and sealed it to her finger with my abilities.With angry groans, she struggled to take it off, but it was useless. ''What is…'' She paused and looked up at me, ''You did this?'' She fumed and ang
Mia's POVI held the stunned eyes of Jayson when he heard my words. ''Tell me you are joking, Mia. You just can't let him die.'' Jayson pleaded with panic while I scoffed bitterly and said, ''Even his death won't be enough to pay for the pain he made me go through!'' I yelled, ''I lost both my parents. I was in pain, but what did he do? He inflicted more pain on me.'' I yelled with gritted teeth, ''I won't heal him, I won't.'' I spoke firmly.''Jayson!'' Alpha Ricardo called out weakly, ''Help me on my feet.'' He said and spat out more blood, cursing fear to run down my spine, but I shook it off.I watched Jayson as he lifted him up and wrapped his hand around his shoulder. ''Mia!'' Alpha Ricardo called out weakly while holding my gaze with weak eyes, which broke all my bones. ''Mine!'' My wolf howled in pain, causing my heart to throb. ''I'm sorry, I apologize for inflicting so much pain on you, no amount of apologies will take those memories away, but I hope that one day you will fo
Alpha Ricardo's POVThe door opened, and alpha Joshua walked out of the room and stood before me. ''You did the right thing, but you have a lot to do to get her love. I hope you are up to the task,'' He said and walked away, while Simeon led him away.I opened the door and stepped into the room. I closed the door and walked further into the room to see Mia standing beside the window with her back turned to me. She was obviously in deep thought, making me curious about what she discussed with Joshua.''You should be in bed,'' I murmured and got a heavy sigh from her before she turned around. ''I need to go back to my room….'' She tried speaking, but I cut in, ''You can stay here and rest a little longer.'' I suggested and noticed a big frown appeared on her face. ''Just being married does not mean we should act like everything is okay between us.'' She spoke seriously, ''I hate you, and nothing on earth will change that.'' She said firmly and took steps towards me but stopped a step aw
Alpha Ricardo's POVI emptied the bottle of whiskey into my mouth and smashed the empty bottle on the floor. With a groan, I stood to my feet and walked to the window. I inhaled deeply and perceived the fresh air coming from the garden downstairs.''What will you do now that the seer has confirmed that the box in his hand is the actual box,'' Eric asked, while I remained silent because I didn't have a response.I was damn confused and scared. Mia has gone through a lot. Firstly, she lost her mother, and then I maltreated and rejected her, and now I can't let her lose her wolf and abilities; she might not survive it. ''Maybe you should tell her about it,'' My wolf suggested, but I kicked against it, ''You heard what he said.'' I groaned and walked back to the bed. I knew I was between the devil and the deep blue sea. Either I let Mia go, or she loses her wolf and abilities, and who knows what might happen to her.With a frustrated sigh, I glared at the clock at my bedside and saw that
Mia's POV''Are you serious?'' Sandra asked, and I nodded and saw their eyes filled with shock. ''And you didn't tell us about it,'' Rachael spoke with a frown on her face from the screen. ''I told you it's complicated,'' I said and got a scoff from Sarah. I knew it was hard for both to believe that I had been married to alpha Ricardo, but I wanted to avoid telling them I was hypnotized. For strange reasons, I didn't want to tell them. ''Does your father know about this?'' Rachael asked, ''He is the reason I got married in the first place. Do you know that man wants to exchange my life with his?'' I announced and got a shocked gasp from them. ''A letter…'' I tried speaking, but the screen kept breaking, showing the network was bad, probably because of the weather. ''Can you hear me?'' Sarah asked, but her voice was cracking, ''Let's talk later.'' I told them and ended the video call.With a sigh, I left the bed, packed my hair in a bun, took off the towel, and dressed in a pair of s
Alpha Ricardo's POVI knew what I was about to do would be a disaster, but that was the only plan, and I needed to do it in order to achieve my plan. ''This is wrong.'' My wolf howled in disapproval, but I ignored him and smiled at Lady Golden, who had been talking to Mia about how she was so sorry about her loss, but Mia didn't give her a response. Obviously, she was shocked by my words.''I need to be in my room. Please excuse me.'' Mia stood at her feet and hurried away. My heart clenched in my chest, but I knew I had to do it to achieve my plans, and sadly, I couldn't tell her about it. I didn't want mistakes.''She is still hurt.'' I spoke, trying to set up a conversation with Golden, ''Yes, it's difficult to lose one's mate.'' She sighed deeply, ''So, have you met your mate yet?'' I asked, and she went silent for a while before responding by shaking her head, but I knew she was lying. I have done my findings and learned she met her mate three years ago, but wouldn't accept him b
Something to keep you waiting ''Alpha...'''' 'No!'' I yelled and ran out of the gate.I tried to teleport, but my wolf was so weak that my breath seized in my chest. ''Mine!'' Eric growled weakly, causing a cold shiver down my spine.' 'Where are you?'' I tried making a mind link, and instead of getting a signal, I got a loud cry.
