Semua Bab Between the Alpha and the Rogue, Fated to Choose Only One: Bab 1 - Bab 10

“Me? Married?” I stuttered, still trying to process his words.“Arrangements have begun. I need to strengthen my alliance with the pack of Eirengale.” My father announced coldly.“But alpha, she's still undergoing her training to unlock her abilit…”“The training ends now. Instead, train her for marriage.” My father dismissed Jada as she tried to intervene. He exited the room without saying anything else.I look at Jada and my mother and burst into tears, covering my face with my palm. Jada came to my side, allowing me to bury my face in her chest. “It's going to be okay.” She whispered.“Is this how I'll be married, like an exchange?” I sobbed, my voice breaking down as I cried. “Mom, you're in support of this?” I turned to look at her, unable to believe my plight.“Marriage is not bad dear. It's going to be a double celebration, your 21st birthday and wedding on the same day.”“In three days!” I shouted as I processed her words. “I'm getting married on my birthday which is in three

I weakly raised my head to look at the company of men who I suspected were my captors. “What is your name?” He questioned as he squatted to my level on the ground. I tried releasing my claws, hoping to use them in scratching his face but it was of no use. The silver chain burned my wrist, making it impossible for me to use my werewolf powers.“Doesn't she speak?” His voice echoed through the room as he turned to the two men who stood behind him. I recognized those men, they were the ones who attacked me on the road.“She speaks.” One of them responded.The man who squatted down to my level cupped my chin with his palm, tilting my face towards him.“I ask for the last time, what's your name?”My heart raced as I felt intimidated by him. He had fairly normal looks, but he still looked like one who could kill. I would never forgive the driver if I found out he was the one behind this.I spat in his face, causing him to release his hand from my chin. He stood up from his squatting positi

My gaze shifted restlessly. He was the last person I had expected to see at the dinner. The dining hall was alive with soft murmurs and clinking of cutlery. His warm blue eyes also stared at me. It seemed like the world around both of us faded, leaving us alone in the room.My father, the alpha of the pack, cleared his throat and gestured towards the man who caught my attention.“This is Brian. The man who would wed Maria.”My breath was caught in my throat as the revelation startled me.“Brian.” I whispered, shocked that the man who had saved me was the one I would marry.“It's nice to meet you.” Brian smiled at me from across the table.As the dinner progressed, I noticed that his eyes were fixed on me the whole while. Sasha sat by his side while I sat opposite him, but I noticed something which caused me to feel unease.He had torn his gaze from me and was looking at Sasha. She slipped her hand underneath the table and placed it on top of Brian's. The gesture felt uncomfortable, bu

“What did I do? I thought we started liking ourselves.” Brian mentioned, his voice coming out as a light whisper.I moved away from him and faced the crowd. Tears had begun clouding my vision. The murmurs in the room reduced as they waited for me to make my announcement.“He slept with my sister, Sasha. I can't get married to him.” I struggled to say while holding back the downpour.The crowd exchanged glances and Sasha who sat in the corner stood up. Her face was pale from my revelation. Brian was also shocked that I knew about what happened last night.“Maria, I can explain.” He stuttered, moving closer to me to hold my hand. I shrugged away from him.“Explain what? She is lying!” Sasha screamed as she moved from where she stood. I could see her trying to make eye contact with Brian and urge him not to reveal the truth. I didn't care. As long as I've revealed what was on my mind, I'm okay.My father was still settled in his place, he hadn't uttered a word as the scene unfolded. Some

I woke up to the faint rays of morning light, slipping through the cracked shutters. I supported my forehead with my palm, a burning sensation transitioned through my body. My head throbbed, and my entire body down to my legs ached heavily. I tasted the alcohol from last night and regret sank into my chest before I could even open my eyes completely. I shut my eyes, trying to get more sleep, hoping that it would wipe the aftermath of indulging too much last night.Diana and Lacy. I must have lost them. I sighed to myself, wondering if they had left me alone in the bar. I recalled excusing myself to use the toilet, and after that, I couldn't remember what happened. But this bed didn't feel like the one in my room. Maybe my friends had taken me to their house.I sprawled my hand across the bed and encountered an obstruction which caused my heart to race. I turned my head slowly, the lingering sleep drained from my eyes. Memories of last night flickered like broken fragments in my mind.
