Hello, Wife!

Amelia

All night in the dungeon, with no food or water. Just the guards and some... Rats. I sat on the cold floor, until it was dawn. I was scared to death that I couldn't sleep. I kept shivering because of the cold.

My father was capable of doing this to me, not minding that I was his daughter. Ever since I was little, he never wanted anyone to figure out I was his daughter because he knew I was a disgrace.

He said it to my face that I would bring chaos and misery to his pack, while my sister will rule the pack and build the relationship between our pack and other packs. He never wanted me to be anywhere close to him or my sister so she won't be contaminated with my bad luck.

I heard a loud clang and saw the guards staring at me.

"The king requested to see you" he said.

"Why?" I asked. I swear, it was a mistake. I didn't just question the guard.

"Are you questioning me or the king?" He asked me.

I immediately got up on my feet. They led me out of the creepy dungeon and escorted me to the main palace. I haven't been here since I was six. It didn't even change a bit.

"What are you looking at? Move!' the guard pushed me from behind. I almost fell and increased my footsteps.

We got to the throne room where my father... I mean, the Alpha was, together with the princess and the man from yesterday.

He already warned me never to tell anyone he was my father and never refer to him as my father in public.

"Your prisoner is here!" He announced.

The guards pushed me to the ground and left the throne room.

"I'm sure if we have her, the Alpha will not wage war anymore" the strange man spoke with authority in his voice.

Have who? Me? What Alpha?

"You can take her. She's useless to the pack anyway. Send my deepest apologies to the Alpha" father said.

I stood up.

"Are you taking me somewhere? Don't I have the rights to know?" I asked, calmly.

"Amelia, you do not have a father or a mother, yet I took you in. It's time for you to pay me back for the kindness I've shown you so, you are going to marry the Alpha of the Black Blood Pack" he said. Something inside me broke. The Alpha of the black blood pack?

I've heard rumours about him. I heard he is cruel, a vengeful ghost, a dreadful being. I heard he was the incarnate of the devil himself.

"I can't marry the black blood Alpha. You can keep me in the dungeon, please Alpha" I cried.

The Alpha walked down from his throne towards me. I thought he was going to hit me but, he squatted to my level and touched my chin.

"Amelia, you are useless to me and this pack. No one will ever accept to be your mate, this is your one chance to be married. Don't flop it" he said.

"Fat..."

Before I could complete that word, he slapped me hard. I touched my cheek and started sobbing. He didn't even want me to call him that at all.

"You have an hour to pack up and follow the great ambassador. You are dismissed!" He said and walked back to his throne.

Something inside me shattered again. I was useless to my father and to this pack.

"You don't need to pack up, just come with me" the great ambassador said and left.

I stood up, staring at my father and sister.

She had a cunning smile on her face. I was supposed to be on that chair, I was supposed to be the heir.

"Bye, Amelia" she smirked.

I turned and left the palace. The guards and the maids saw me leaving with the grand ambassador. They've never looked so happy in their lives.

"We'll miss you Amelia!" They made fake comments. I saw the car waiting for me.

The great ambassador's guard opened the door for me and I ended up sitting close to the man that was molesting me last night. He started the car and drove off.

I was leaving the pack. My father didn't even care. No one cared. It looked like I was a burden to the whole pack.

"You look hungry" the man said to me. I shrieked and moved away from him.

"No, thank you" I said.

"I apologize for touching you yesterday. This was my only way to take you with me. I'm not a child molester, trust me" he said and cleared his throat. I didn't want to believe it. What if he isn't taking me to the pack. What if he's taking me to a hotel to complete what he started yesterday.

I stared at the window and kept on crying silently. I don't want to get married to that cruel Alpha. I really do not want that to happen.

.

.

After few hours, we got to the pack. The town was very different from ours.

They were hardworking and loyal. I kept watching them till a huge gate opened in front of us.

The car drove in and pulled over after a short drive.

"Welcome to your new home" he said.

Maybe I was wrong, the man looked nice. He didn't stop by the hotel to finish what he started yesterday.

A guard opened the door for us. I carefully got out of the car and looked around. What in the actual fuck? It's ten times bigger than our Pack's palace.

"The Alpha is waiting" he said.

"Please, you must understand. I'm just a mere omega. I'm not worth your Alpha"

"That's for him to decide. Come with me" he said.

I silently followed him behind till we got to the waiting room. The palace was much bigger and beautiful on the inside. I was in love with it already. Maybe it wasn't that bad.

"Stay here, he'll be with you shortly. I'll be right back" the man said and left. I was all alone, standing in the waiting room. My heart couldn't stop pounding. I couldn't control my breathing.

I was scared. If I make a mistake, I may be beheaded.

Just then, I heard footsteps from behind. I turned my head to face the person that was approaching. I immediately perceived another scent. This one was different from anyone I've perceived before. It was strong and my wolf was restless as ever.

"Mate! Accept him now!" She growled angrily. I grabbed my chest and almost fell. I leaned on the table for support. I've never felt my wolf this way before. It was my first day here and I was getting my mate already. It was weird, but good. I've promised myself that I'm going to reject my mate before he rejects me. I raised my head to see who my daring mate was. I don't know who he was but he looked hot and sexy.

He stepped into the room, his tall, muscular figure dominating the space. His cold, piercing gaze swept slowly around, and I, who was standing in the room stiffened with fear. He had an air of authority about him that made it clear he could not be challenged. The air was thick with tension as he approached the chair and sat down, eyeing me. I didn't dare to speak or move for fear of incurring his wrath.

Was he the Alpha? No, it can't be. He's way too young to be the Alpha.

"You must be my mate..." I said, gathering all of the strength in my body.

He scanned me like I was a spectacle.

"You must be my mate..." He said also. His voice sounded like death. It made my bones shiver.

My chest started going up and down. I tightened my fist angrily, thinking of how to start my rejection speech. My teeth gnashed against each other.

"I...I Amelia Carter, reject you..." I paused when I didn't know his name.

"What...what is your name?" I asked.

He immediately got up and grabbed me by my neck. I felt his claws driving into my throat. I tried to beat his hands off.

"How dare you reject me? You must accept me!" He growled at me.

"Accept? Why?" I asked. No one has ever asked me to accept them, yet... This one asked me to accept him.

He must be insane.

"Lucian, what are you doing?" The man that brought me here finally arrived.

He slowly let go of my neck. I grabbed my neck and sat down, coughing and trying to catch my breath. This asshole almost killed me.

"She's our guest, your wife!" He said.

This is the Alpha? He's the cruel Alpha. I've gotten on his bad side already.

He had a cunning smile on his face when I was announced as his wife.

"My wife... I'll be sure to take good care of her well" he said, in a mocking tone.

I didn't just hear that. He tried to kill me moments ago, not he claimed he was going to take care of me.

The man walked towards me and helped me up.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yes...yes, I'm fine" I said.

"I apologize, my nephew is arrogant and hates guests. I'll take you to your room" he said.

I nodded and followed the man behind. I didn't have the chance to complete my rejection. I can't be mate with this Alpha. He'll treat me even worse after what happened today. He almost killed me. I turned repeatedly to see the death glance he kept giving me.

The man from earlier opened a huge door for me and led me inside.

"This is your room. The clothes aren't enough but, I'll send more for you right away" he said. I opened the closet door and shot my mouth wide open when I saw different dresses. They were more than a hundred and he said it wasn't enough.

"Thank you. But, do I have to do this? Look at me, I'm not fit to be the Alpha's wife" I said.

"You'll be fine Amelia. You just have to be his wife till he finds his real mate. After that, you'll be free to go" he said.

I'm his wife and also his mate. Was this also one of my bad luck?

"Thank you" I said again, with my head lowered.

"Call me uncle. If you need anything, there are maids around to help you" he said and left.

I locked the door behind and leaned on it.

I'm just his wife till he find his mate. If I perhaps reject him and he finds another mate, I'll be free from here then.

All I need to do is reject the Alpha.

But, how do I do that when he wants me to accept him?
