FREYA

Vincent's text messages came in for the umpteenth time today. I didn't know how he found out, but he demanded to know if I'd left the pack with his pregnancy. I tried to wrap my head around the situation, and it occured to me that he must've been told by doctor James.

It's been over a month since the whole incident and now, he finally decided to act like he cares? Very despicable! His text messages came in once more.

It didn't matter anymore before we're already divorced. Tightened my fist on my phone as I kept on reading his text messages in rage. A light knock on my door distracted me and I'd jerked up the moment I saw my father walk in.

If he knew that I still had Alpha Vincent's contact, he'd never forgive me. Even though I no longer have any feelings for him, I dared not delete his contact yet.

“Freya, you're still awake” he pointed, making his way to my bed.

“Yes, father. Tomorrow is my big day, I'm so nervous” I said to him Frankly.

I was very scared of what tomorrow holds for me, I would be getting married to someone I'd never met before. Someone my father looks up to and believes that he'd be good for me.

What If I sabotage everything with my imperfections? I couldn't stop thinking about who Alpha Jackson really was. I'd never even seen his pictures before. I heard he hated the Internet just like I did.

My father had helped me to conceal my identity too, making sure that no one got a hold of my picture for years. It was a means to protect me while I was still married to Vincent.

Father and I talked briefly and he left the bedroom, leaving me to my thoughts as I wondered what tomorrow holds…

DOMINIC

It's finally the day when I'd be getting married to Luna Freya. I never thought that a day would come where I'd be so down with a decision I took with my own hands. Allison left the pack already, she couldn't bear watching me get married to another.

Maybe this was just the best decision for everyone. I have a filial duty to perform, I couldn't allow my emotions to take the lead for me. I stood up from my chair, taking a peek through the window, watching as guests flood my mansion.

I always knew that this was coming but I didn't seem like I was completely prepared for it. I moved towards my drawer, picking up the jewelry prepared to adorn my new bride. It was a family ornament, passed down to generations by my ancestors.

The Western pack has always been known for their strong heritage routine and power. That's why we always had to get married to whoever is chosen for us. I recalled when Grandpa told me his story. He always wasn't in love with Grandma when she was chosen as his wife. But he had to fulfill the duty of being an Alpha without forsaking the pack. At the end, they fell in love and lived in bliss.

My father was the only different one. Leaving my mum as his mistress while he married some other. He caused this destruction to the pack, the same chaos I'm trying to solve putting my own future down on the line.

A noise sounded on my door and I turned to see my beta walking in. He helped me arrange my tie. “Alpha, you look good today. Good luck with the wedding” he said to me. Beta Ryder has always been a good friend and supporter of me.

“Did you do the investigations?” I asked him.

“Yes, alpha. Unfortunately, there's nothing tangible for us to use against Luna Freya. I'm afraid she's still very qualified to get married to you” he explained. My face stiffened into a long frown.

“I guess Alpha Wilson is indeed as powerful as they say he is.” I muttered. Somehow, he's cleared his daughter's name in order for this marriage to push through.

“It's almost time,” I said with a deep breath. “Let's go’’ I urged Ryder as we made our way outside the bedroom.
