THE ALPHA DON'S INCOMPETENT SUBSTITUTE WIFE

‎Third person POV

‎

‎Cleopatra froze, her legs shaking like noodles underneath her fabulous wedding dress, as she stared up at the face of her prospective future husband, the one and only Lorenzo Quavas, a ruthless alpha known for his heavy involvement with the mafia and rogues.

‎“Caitlin Montess do you take Lorenzo Quavas to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest's voice echoed through out the elaborate wedding hall, an innocent smile plastered on his face.

‎Cleopatra's heart skipped a beat, she opened her mouth to speak but her tongue felt stuck.

‎Stuck as to how she was supposed to answer that, Lorenzo was basically a stranger to her, infact they just met five minutes ago.

‎

‎She was never meant to marry him. In fact the only reason why she was here was because her perfect twin sister, Caitlin Montess eloped with their mate, alpha prince Nickson of the Rare wolf pack.

‎Today should have been Caitlin's wedding day, but she chose to be selfish, running away with their shared mate.

‎Now Cleopatra had to pay the price by marrying Lorenzo in exchange for the loan her parents took for Caitlin's kidney transplant.

‎Cleopatra glanced around to where her parents were seated hoping that by some divine intervention, they could speak up and call this sentence off, but to her surprise they were all smiles.

‎

‎Amelia and Gary had never smiled at Cleopatra before, but today they were ecstatic. Or was this their master plan in order to ensure that their golden girl was always happy, while Cleopatra got into a loveless marriage with a man who  was nothing to write home about. A man who was brutal as they come, a cold mafia don, known for his cruelty and ruthlessness.

‎He was heartless, and used the darkest methods to deal with anyone who crosses him, never giving them a chance to scream.

‎He was a notorious womanizer, who moves between women without caring about them, solving all his problems with money, and violence.

‎

‎

‎“Caitlin the priest is waiting" Lorenzo whispered, a worried frown engraved on his perfectly symmetrical face. His words immediately dragged Cleopatra from her thoughts.

‎She looked back at him, her mind clouded with fear as she wondered if he did notice anything off with her behavior.

‎If he found out that she was a fake bride, her family will be doomed.

‎Her parents would have to pay all the millions they owe him, or worst pay with their lives.

‎Her legs trembled and with heavy lips she said, "Yes, I do," her heart nearly leaping out of her chest.

‎

‎Lorenzo's lips curved slightly, as he gazed down at Cleopatra, his eyes burrowing into hers, like a predator would its prey. It was as though he was telling her, if he couldn't have her, no one should.

‎"You're mine now, kitten," the demon from hell whispered.

‎Was this Cleopatra's punishment for the reckless life she lived, was 5 years in prison not enough that she had to be forced into another prison, this one with no escape doors.

‎Her chest hurt with untold pain and with a racing heart, she went in with a kiss, a kiss that would seal her fate forever with that monster.

‎The nightmare she'll never escape began today.

‎

‎The rest of the wedding proceedings when according to plan and as through even time was in support of their terrible marriage, it was already night fall.

‎Cleopatra walked into her new bedroom and her mouth fell open, it was painted with her sister's favorite color “pink”, the better part of the walls were adored with beautiful pictures of her sister.

‎

‎“Was this man some kind of an obsessed freak” She wondered to herself as she ran her hands against the portrait's edges.

‎Just then the door slammed opened and Lorenzo sailed in, a broad smile on his face as he moved towards her, hugging her tightly from behind.

‎“It's beautiful, isn't it” He said, casually planting a kiss on her cheek, “But you are even prettier”

‎“What are you doing?" Cleopatra doubted, her body toughening underneath his warm touch.

‎“Holding my wife” He said nonchalantly, planting soft kisses on her neck. His lips were soft and tender, filled with untold desire, she could feel the love behind every kiss.

‎A cold chill ran down her spine, as he interchanged between kissing and sucking, his touch becoming more and more deliberate as it creeped to her chest.

‎His hardness threatening to reap through his pant, that Cleopatra could feel it's impact against her back.

‎“Wait" Cleopatra beseeched, as she pried  herself from his grip, and turned to face him.

‎“What's wrong? I need you” He said, his voice laced with urgency, as he once again pulled her into a kiss. This time capturing her lips in a hungry kiss.

‎

‎His lips were like an addictive to Cleopatra, it kept pulling her in. Her chest hardened, filled with goosebumps, her body longed for him, every sense yearning for him like he was actually meant to be hers.

‎“Stop” She commanded, pulling away almost breathless, her underwear beginning to fill up with her sweet nectar.

‎“We can't do this? It isn't right” She blurted out unexpectedly. She knew laying with her sister's husband was a mistake she would forever regret, but fortunately for her he didn't understand.

‎“And what's wrong about it? I wifed you like you asked all those months ago” He said, gently holding her on the cheeks, his dazzling hazel eyes burrowing into hers.

‎Cleopatra froze for a few seconds, what did he mean by all those months ago, Caitlin just met him about a month ago.

‎“What else do you want? I promise to be gentle. Trust me you will enjoy it” He said with desperation, as he burrowed into her neck, interchanging between kissing and sucking.

‎His hands roaming her body as he squeezed her tightly. Cleopatra tried pulling away this time but a wave of untold desire captured her as he swept her off her feet to the bed.

‎He gently placed her on the bed, his lips capturing hers once again, she was a goner, lost in the heat of passion, it only took the feeling of his hand on her underwear for her to come back to reality.

‎She immediately pushed him away and jumped out of bed, her body turning cold from embarrassment. How could she give in to the womanizer so easily, he was her sister's and if Caitlin was to return, he would choose her, everyone always does.

‎“We can't do this, I am on my period” Cleopatra blurted out but immediately regretted it. Period was the worst idea she could come up with, that was so stupid of her.

‎”Period! is that so?” He asked rising to his feet, and walked towards her. Surely Cleopatra had been caught or so she thought, “You should have told me sooner, sorry for being inconsiderate”

‎He apologized and Cleopatra's mouth fell open, was the might Lorenzo Quavas apologizing to a woman?

‎“Go take a bath and let's go to bed”

‎

‎“No need for that. I will spend the night in the guestroom. I will hate to bother you with my stomach cramps. With your permission of course” She babbled in utter confusion, the last thing she wanted was to sleep next to that beautiful demon.

‎He didn't argue, instead he just said, “Of course, feel free to do as you please. Everything I own belongs to you now”

‎“What was happening?” Cleopatra wondered, was this the monster everyone was talking about, why was she suddenly faced with a caring husband.
