All Chapters of The Alpha Don's Defiant Heiress: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

CHAPTER ONE: DONNA'S POV There was a limit to what one could endure, and my limit had come really close. I looked at my stepmother and my stepsiblings discussing my marriage plans with their guest while I stood in front of them. The eldest, Chris, walked into the room and handed a file to his mother. She grabbed it and searched through it for eligible men from wealthy homes. It was creepy how they had all this information. Also, I was an official rogue like my father, but they tried to force me into a pack by marriage while knowing a low-ranked wolf like me wouldn't survive. My expression stayed straight while I watched this. What was I to do anyway? I still held the broom and mop I used to clean her room before I was called to the living room. I was merely her servant. "There is no man in your life at the moment, right, Donna? I keep checking all these men, but most are Betas, Deltas, or Warriors, and none of them would be interested in you." The way she tried to sound l

Theoden's POV Staring at the young lady in my arms, I recounted the incidents that led me to this particular moment. All I had wanted was to take down all the feelings of loss I battled with. It had been a very long time since I lost something and felt the irreparable damage. I nearly killed someone, and I graciously thanked the Goddess that we had both slowed down before the impact. What had I been thinking driving around an estate I knew nothing about! I held onto her strongly. When she passed out, something in me panicked, even though I could tell she only passed out due to exhaustion. I didn't want an innocent person to die in front of me, and I certainly didn't want to be the unfair cause of someone's death. "If you have something you want to say, say it." I told my wolf since he kept scratching the back of my head. He usually minded his business whenever I hurt anyone, but not when it came to women—that's where we differed because I couldn't care less. "I obviousl

Donna's POV I regretted stepping out for a freedom I didn't deserve, and now, I was somewhere locked up and ready to be sold to some smuggler. My stepmother had been comically right about me getting kidnapped if I ever stepped out of the house. I always assumed they were lies to keep me indoors. The door got knocked on and I quickly stilled my breathing and acted unconscious. Someone walked in, moved around for ten seconds, then walked out. This had been the third time they had moved in here. What if they had discovered I was awake? "What will I do now? It seems I can't even escape from this place by myself. And would I just return home to that awful marriage contract?" Could I marry him then divorce him after I get a bit of freedom? Many things could go wrong, but many things might still go right. I was divided. I rose from the bed and my eyes noticed the mirror by my side. My eyes lingered on the mirror for a long time as a realization crept into me. I looked hideous. M

Donna's POV "You heard the lady. Begging would not suffice." Rufus told my stepmother. I doubted she wanted to beg, perhaps gaslight me for all the 'good' things she had done for me, when all those were essentials and done with my biological parents' money. "D-Donna-Belle is currently planning her marriage to a business partner of mine." My stepmother said. "How can I… I leave when such an important day in her life is coming?" That was what she could come up with? I was lost for words. Even despite everything, she still wanted to act shamelessly? Theoden glanced at me and I shook my head. He sighed. In disappointment, relief, or just for the sake of sighing? I didn't know. His expression had taken a straight state since I moved away from him. "And who is this business partner? Does she know she'd be getting married to him?" "She is about to sign the contract." Chris added. "So it isn't signed?" Chris grunted, and I resisted the urge to spit at his face. Did he really

Chapter Nine: Aware Theoden's POV My grandfather really pulled a number on me by letting this girl's safety be his dying wish. However, so far, I wasn't enjoying this. She was gritty enough to survive a hellhole for long, and used that grit to pass her judgment on them. She wouldn't be depending on us as much as I thought. In a way, that disappointed me a little. "Do you know anything about what he does for work? Or what we'd be doing to assist you?" It was fair that she wanted to start her path, but did she have any clue how tedious it would be? "The company is currently being run by your father's supervisor, whom we have contacted to keep it up until you're twenty-five." I answered, while checking my tab for emails. "Twenty-five?" She slapped the bed, and I looked up from my tab. "Why would you make that decision without informing me?" She wasn't offended that the decision was made, but that it was made without her consent. That meant she understood why it was ma
