The Lost Alpha Is A She: Bride For The Sleeping Devil 소설 & 이야기

The silver bullet glimmered like a cold star, one breath away from ending him. “You don’t matter, Alpha,” the man sneered. “You don’t matter, Luna. Monsters bleed same as men. Tonight, you die together. That’s justice.” Their laughter rolled again, cruel and final. My chest clenched so tight I could barely breathe. The sight of him chained beside me. Xavier, my Alpha, my mate, my undoing was more unbearable than any pain they’d inflicted. He was supposed to stay untouchable, untamed. Not like this. Not broken beside me, marked for death.

Old and Powerful. Liana's spine went rigid. Her mouth dropped into something like serenity. Her eyes went out, not quite blank, but lost. As if the part of her that would have screamed had been locked in a box. Alpha Volmore whirled about, coal-fire eyes fixed on the officiator. One nod. The wedding began. And no one would speak truth. Well, no one but the chandelier. It flickered again. As if it, too, wanted to fall.

She put up a fight, trying to get away from my grip as I pulled her towards the door. “Don’t you feel bad for your blind wife!?” Annora screamed, her voice hoarse. “You don't even deserve her! You lock up girls in your dungeon and make them strip, yet you act so faithful in here! You scumbag! Your Alpha is nothing but a scumbag! He doesn’t deserve you, Luna Wendeline!” Such a troublemaker. Barely two hours in Devil’s Den, and she thinks she knows it all, or can she pitch Wendeline against me?

I ran out of the room, slammed the door shut, and made my way through the hall. My heart spiked up, my legs turned heavy, begging me to stop, my skin burned, and I trembled. I swayed to and fro and almost crumbled onto my knees. Everything in me was begging me to go back to him. As if. Damn my omega genes. Damn his alpha genes. Damn him for being handsome and irresistible too. ‘The sky would turn purple and fall to the earth before I, Arielle Winston, became the Alpha’s contract bride.’

She asked with a frown. “It's just that has to be the funniest thing I've heard probably in my whole life,” I said and chuckled. She frowned even more, looking offended. I shook my head and placed a palm on her shoulder. “Hilda, does the Alpha really looks like someone that would creep up on a sleeping, helpless maid and suck the life out of her? The Alpha would literally dig his claws into your chest and pluck out your heart, with your full consciousness, if that's with he needs,” I said plainly.

"Alpha Devon... She stole from you." Eh?

One thing that I was sure about was that Zion was hiding something from me, as was Kian, who appeared to have so many secrets. The movie ended with the female lead managing to kill and escape the mansion, finally being free from the cruel man who was her husband. "Goodness, that movie still gives me the chill," Beth said when we finally stepped out of the theater. "I would never allow myself to get married to someone I didn't even know; even if he is the richest man in the world, only a desperate woman would agree to such an arrangement," Clarissa said, and an awkward silence passed between us when she said those words.

She drifted past me, her crimson robes whispering against the polished floor, fingertips brushing along the leaves of another trimmed bush as though we were talking about nothing more than flowers. “The Alpha always had an eye for potential,” she chuckled. “But he was greedy. Obsessed. Power was his only bride. Do you remember, Zade, what he did to his wives? What he did to me?” I swallowed once, jaw tight. “I remember.” “Women plucked from powerful bloodlines,” she said, her voice venom wrapped in velvet. “Married to him like trophies. Forced to give him daughters he slaughtered and sons he paraded. And when those women were drained of their usefulness…”

They all walked out without saying a word, and I shook my head in question. “The woman is coming as an Alpha’s bride. She has to look like one. As far as I understand, she is an omega…” “I am an Alpha, but I am an outcast…” “An Alpha is an Alpha whether or not you want to admit it. You seem to be going high about being that demon’s heir that you forgot that IF you are an Alpha now, it is because you earned it by blood. The number of nights that I stayed up tending to your wounds are countless, and I know that you would have fought more if you had to.” She said, stopping me. “She is going to have to look like the Luna that she is supposed to be, and I am not going to start with her behavior…”
