Clarissa I sat in the backseat of my parent's limousine feeling upset and troubled. The ring on my finger felt heavy and foreign, like a shark sucking the blood in my finger and I shifted my hands nervously.My heart was a heavy stone sticking in my chest as the thought of marrying someone I didn't love scared the hell out of me. My mum and dad kept gushing about how beautiful our kids would be and it was so annoying that I had to stop them. "Dad, I can't do this. I'm not in love with him."My mum, dressed in a fancy gown, turned to me with a look of disappointment and her eyes felt like daggers piercing my heart"Love grows. You haven't even given him a chance and you are already canceling him. You can't back out now. Ivan already proposed. You should be lucky to have someone like him and you better not mess things up"Clarissa, Ivan is a good guy," my dad said with a much calmer tone."He's a good match for our status.I huffed, looking out the window and tuning out of the conversa

Feeling much better after I met with the matron, I headed back home enjoying the cool breeze of the afternoon brushing against my skin.I made my way to the bedroom, picked an apple from the kitchen and took a bite. Because I left work early. I decided to work from home and send emails to my clients and catch up on everything I wasn't able to do at work. The clicking of my keyboard and the quietness of the house made me concentrate but the elder matron's words kept filtering in my ear and I wondered if I could stay away from Jalen.After working for an hour, I took a break and stretched my limbs. Outside my door, I heard a voice downstairs and I groaned. frustrationThis was the worst time for Ivan to come. I headed downstairs to see him. He held a bouquet and a box of chocolates with a broad grin on his face excited to see me."Hey, beautiful. You're frowning as usual. Seems like you aren't happy to see me.""Of course, I'm happy," I lied and he led me into one of the private living

I left Clarissa's office feeling furious, my ears pounding and adrenaline rushing through my body. I got in my car and started driving like a maniac, my hand shaking on the steering wheel and my mind swelling with anger and frustration. Nothing made sense to me anymore and I was mad at everyone, mad at the world, mad at my mum for lying to me, mad at Clarissa and her stupid dad, mad at the moon goddess for cursing me and giving me a mate who could never be mine.Driving with no destination in mind, my thoughts were consumed by the events of the day and I remembered how Clarissa's dad sent heavily armed guards to arrest me. I tried to fight them off but when they accused me of abducting Clarissa, I had to go with them, or else they'd expose me.The road in front of my eyes became blurry as I tried to make sense of what just happened as my emotions were all over the place. She must have run to her daddy dearest to tell him that I threatened her and that my presence was unsafe for her

I stormed around the room. The room was in shambles, with broken glass scattered across the floor and a shattered TV lying in the corner. My father had a look of guilt etched across his face as he tried to avoid my gaze. "What the hell is this?" I shouted, gesturing to the destruction around me. "Did you think slipping something into my drink and trying to force me to sleep with that girl was the solution? Are you insane?" My father didn't answer, instead choosing to hang his head in shame. "Answer me!" I yelled, my voice filled with anger and disgust. "Why would you do something like that? I trusted you, and you betrayed me like this?" "I needed a solution," he finally replied, his voice barely above a whisper. "The pack needs an heir, and you're not getting any younger. I thought if you impregnated that girl, it would fix everything." "Fix everything?" I repeated disbelief in my voice. "You almost ruined my life, and you think that would fix everything? I can't believe you would

ClarissaMy family members were still mad at me because of Jalen and I felt bad because my dad and I have always been close. He was my go-to person whenever I had a problem but now he looked at me with so much disgust and hate in his eyes. The days rolled by and I hadn't heard from Jalen. I was preparing to go see Genevieve, my best friend and on my way out my mum stopped me and asked where I was going. I told her I was going to see Genevieve but she didn't believe me and she said I was hiding to go see my stupid Lycan mate. I told her no and that I haven't even heard from him. She then asked me when I reconciled with Genevieve because the last time she remembered we were not on speaking terms then I told her that she could call her to confirm and she called her. While they were speaking, I was so angry that my mum did not believe me. She hung up and muttered under her breath and went upstairs. I took deep breaths to calm myself and headed to my car yelling at my bodyguard to get m

I walked into the mall, the bright lights and bustling energy immediately lifted my spirits. Shopping took my mind off the chaos that was my life right now.I began wandering through the stores, taking my time to browse the racks and tables, trying on different outfits and accessories.As usual, I headed to the designer bags section and ended up buying several of them, a classic black leather tote from Gucci, a statement red velvet bag from Prada, and a sleek silver clutch from Chanel. They were all beautiful, and I couldn't wait to show them off.Francis, my bodyguard, followed closely behind me as I picked out the things that caught my eye. I tried on several different styles, from flowy maxi dresses to form-fitting bodycon styles. I finally settled on a beautiful emerald green wrap dress from Diane von Furstenberg, a romantic off-the-shoulder lace dress from Self-Portrait, and a playful ruffle-trimmed sundress from Zimmermann.I left the mall feeling much better than when I had arr

I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, my mind racing with thoughts of Jalen and the moment we shared outside. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was making a mistake by agreeing to marry Ivan. Marriage was a long-term commitment, and without love, how was such a marriage going to stand? But no one was in support of my relationship with Jalen because of the werewolf and the Lycan feud, and our romance was forbidden.I rolled over onto my side, pulling the covers up to my chin. I tried to clear my mind, but the image of Jalen's face kept creeping back into my thoughts. He was so handsome in a rugged way, with his dark hair and piercing hazel eyes. I remembered the way he looked at me, the way his eyes seemed to see right through me. It was like he could read my every thought and feeling.I groaned, feeling a pang of guilt in my chest as I thought about Ivan. He didn't deserve this and I knew marrying him was a huge mistake but I didn't have a choice. I tossed and turned, trying

The tension in my office was unbearably high. Ivan repeated himself, his voice filled with anger. "Are you deaf? I said leave."Jalen didn't move an inch. He stood there, his arms crossed over his chest, his gaze locked on Ivan. My heart panted with fear as I watched the two of them stare each other down."Jalen, please leave," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.But Jalen didn't budge. "I will leave when your stuck-up boyfriend learns his manners. It's stupid to talk to people like they're worthless," he sneered, his words filled with arrogance.Ivan burst out into laughter, his face twisted with derision. "Who the hell do you think you are, you bloody Lycan! Just because you bloody Lycans think you're stronger doesn't mean I'm scared of you."Jalen scoffed, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. "I don't even plan to lift my finger because if I do, you will hate the outcome."The tension in the room was palpable. I could feel the anger and hatred emanating from both of the
