RING THE BELLS

DIEGO'S POV

"She’s all yours now, my queen. The wedding process can begin. I will be here to make sure she gets married immediately.” The man's eager words drew my rage to him. He is too greedy and I felt like kicking him in the cock. What a shithole for a father! My own father would have died protecting me!

“Mother, I don’t believe in all the moon goddess prophecy shit. Get these people ... these things ... out of my house.” I barked at my mother.

Then she gave me that look, that one look that always melts my determination and resolution. “Mother, don’t do that please, I told you already, no woman is worth it. And she doesn’t seem to like me as well… right?” I turned to the girl kneeling before me.

She nodded her head aggressively at once, agreeing with me. I didn’t know what to believe, maybe she really doesn’t want me or she’s pretending. A girl of her standard, in fact any girl at all, would jump at me.

I rolled my eyes and looked back at my mother, but she still had that sweet and pleasing face that she always used to get me to do whatever she wants. Did she still believe I can give love another chance? She must be joking.

The girl before me truly looked so beautiful and tempting. To be honest, my cock even twitched in agreement at the thought. My wolf was about to sweet-mouth me into accepting her, but I shut him up at once without havIng to say a word.

“Let the preparation begin!” My mother announced, and before I could say another word, two maids rushed in to pull Fibi away.

“Are you really going through with this wedding? Because I’m not getting married to that thing!” I bellowed at my mother.

My anger was beginning to surface now, I thought she was pulling my legs about the whole marriage matter. I can cope with her being my caregiver, but marriage?

“You must be kidding me! Have you forgotten what Lisa did to me? That slut left me just after my accident. I was still under life support and she just left. They are all the same…” my voice increased with every sentence I uttered.

But my mother didn’t lose her cool. She smiled stiffly at Fibi’s father and ushered him to the guest room in preparation for the so-called wedding. He bowed to me and hastened out of my sight.

My glare was enough to frighten him. I saw it in his eyes that he was really hoping for the marriage to take place. He wanted to be the inlaw to the mad Alpha so bad? The crazy and devilish Alpha? Of course I've heard what they call me outside my magnificent walls.

Before I knew what was happening, the council of elders were called into my ceremony hall. I tried to scare my mother off but she used her tactics again, pretending to be hurt about me yelling at her and I let it be. I could never make her sad and she knew that.

“If I agree to this crazy decision of yours … that girl will suffer for it, Mother. You know me. I will torment her until she flees.” I warned. She only shrugged at my threat and begged me to get ready for my wedding.

I wasn’t joking about my threat because I did just that and more. The wedding didn’t take up to an hour, we were joined together by blood and my mother gave her ring to Fibi. Right from when she first set eyes on Fibi, she appeared to love her at once.

“Please can I … can my best friend be here for the ceremony?” The girl, Fibi or whatever, spoke to me for the first time without shivering or looking at her feet. Tears were flowing from her eyes, although no one could see it because she was wearing a veil.

But I could sense and see it due to my powerful abilities; I could sense people’s mood and see from far distances. I nodded my permission. And she smiled at me. The smile was so soft and genuine that I found myself smiling back, but stopped myself just in time.

When the best friend arrived, I was stunned to find out that he’s a male. Soon enough, I perceived that he had the same personality as my beta Greg, my best friend.

“You really should keep your eyes where they're needed, Greg.” I taunted him once during the ceremony. He blushed and nudged my shoulder playfully, knowing I had caught him staring at Fibi's friend.

All through the wedding, my beta was busy stealing glances at Fibi’s best friend, who was gaping right back. From my wheelchair, I could feel their connection and desires. There’s no doubt about them having sex soon.

“I think love between men is more genuine that love between different genders.” I whispered to Greg. He chuckled. I caught him mouthing some words to Ethan, Fibi's friend, from across the room.

Ethan is attractive and I feel they will be good for each other. Greg deserved genuine love. The moon goddess, for whatever reason, had chosen a female to be his mate. Of course they couldn’t work out, his taste was in the male species.

His case was different from mine however. This is because they both tried to make it work until it couldn’t be forced anymore. Then he begged her to leave. Meanwhile, my own mate and fiancee tucked tail and ran at the first sign of challenge.

“Isn’t she georgeoussss?” My wolf broke into my sad thoughts, forcing me to settle my eyes on Fibi, who was standing close to Ethan and holding his shoulder like her life depended on it.

I could swear that something shifted in my chest. I almost felt jealous of her standing beside another man, holding his hand so tightly like that. But I brushed it off, assuring my wolf, “I never denied her beauty. I agreed to it immediately I saw her. It changes nothing.”

My wolf was obviously trying to make me accept Fibi. What did everyone see in her? My mother likes her, my wolf wants her, and with the way my beta is smiling at her, he likes her too!

“But why is her father looking so scornfully at her? Are you sure he didn’t steal her and bring her here?” Beta Greg asked me half-jokingly. I turned my head to take better notice of the weird man.

He was staring daggers at Fibi, but she wasn’t even looking his way. She was busy saying something to Ethan. Greg may have been joking but I find the man suspicious.

“He was too eager to marry her off to me. Investigate him and get back to me, I suspect there’s something else at play here.” I instructed my beta, who nodded in acknowledgement.

The joining process ended and Fibi, now my wife and queen, rushed out of the hall. Her best friend and maids ran after her. She sobbed past me and I almost grabbed her hand to ask her why she was crying.

But I knew deep down that I would make her cry the most. I didn't want her, even though my heart and everything around me seemed to disagree with me. I didn't like being wrong and I would do anything to prove to my stubborn mother that Fibi's a whore like the rest of them!

“I will be back, my Alpha” my best friend whispered in my ear, before bowing and running off without waiting for my response.

I growled aloud but chuckled within me. He was surely going after his new found love. I sincerely wished him well, and hoped that Ethan won’t be like my ex-fiancee, who was only after my money and fame but wasn't ready to endure any hardship.

“You should wheel yourself to your room and prepare for the consummation night, you know. I advise you to mark her tonight and put a child in her.” My mother's sweet voice reached my ear. She had been standing right beside me for a while.

I wondered what she was high on, to be imagining the impossible. But then again, with Fibi’s type of curvy and alluring body, anything is possible.
