Lisa's POV

I can't believe it. I'm married. I'm starting my life as someone else's wife. How interesting. And I'm so angry learning that this was all a scheme to use me against Ethan.

“This place is beautiful isn't it?" Lisa admires the room we were standing in. “Are you still mad at me?" She questions when she hears no response from me.

“Lisa you didn't even tell me that this was all a stupid plan to mess around with... Him. Do you understand what that means for me? He will hate me. To be honest, I'd hate me too. How do even expect this to work?" I beckon in a harsh voice as I feel outrage.

“Natasha please calm down. I'm just trying to help both of us, “ she softens her voice trying to calm my anger. But I am so angry at for not telling me about. At least I'd know what I'm doing, than be kept in the dark.

" Helping!? Tell me Lisa? How will you help us, when he attacks me at night and strangles to death? Will you able to stop him? “ I invoke her thinking.

  • His Chosen Bride    Chapter 01: Introduction

    I hear my mother let out a sharp scream, then a piercing bang like an explosion before the car pirouettes off the road and starts tumbling straight to the forest. We start crying our lungs out with fear, my heart shot to my throat. I was still conscious of every little shutter of glass and clank of metal. Everything seemed to happen in slow motion, shattered glass floating before my eyes. The car spins violently, tossing us back and forth. Then another outburst, invoking a brittle stop, causing me to hit my head hard. Soon everything died to silence and darkness betook me. I was dizzy and confused above all things when I opened my eyes again. Everything seems to have blurred, sounds coming from a far distance, with only a high pitch noise in my ears. Almost as if I was completely growing deaf. My head pounding furiously, it felt like it would explode at any given moment. I creeped out of the window, all the broken glasses slicing through my hands and knees. Seeing the thick grey sm

    I shook my head many times, but the site before me, a forest of perverted trees under an indigo sky didn't seem to disappear, so I shut my eyes hard that my sockets start hurting wishing to wake up somehow.I opened my eyes again, but now my view was concealed by a dark figure standing right in front of me. I gasped in fear and shock, and tried to crawl back, away from the strange silhouette, my hands digging on the ground. I was very definite I wasn't at home anymore. And this was no normal dream."Wh—where am I?"The figured knelt in the dirt in front of her, very graceful as she held out her hand to me. Her face was malevolent and her features were very strong, as she was closer I more noticed she's a woman. "You're in Deepville," she said in a smooth voice and tipped her head to the side as if I should know where that is. "Look around you, child, meet your destiny.""My—what? Child? "The woman stretched out her hand, the long, bell-like sleeve of her thick robe swaying as she no

    “ What's up?" I question, seeing that Lisa is low spirited as she sits on the kitchen table her eyes focused on the paper in front of her. She sighs and places away the news paper she was holding acknowledging my presence. “It won't be long before Harold finds us, “ she responds with worry in her face. I sigh sitting down besides her, as that statement drained all the energy out of my body. "I thought we had more time. What do we do now? There are only so many countries in the world. We can't keep this up forever, “ I tiredly rest my hands and face on top of the table. I know Harold will find us eventually. And if he doesn't, Neacal, will. And I'm really getting tired of running. I've been running my whole life. “ Seems like we should find another place to stay . I already made us new passports and changed our names," she replies. But I didn't want to hear that anymore. Can't we come up with something else different? Like faking our death or something. “C'mon Lisa. Until how

    “ Why would he agree to marry someone like me anyways? I'm rogue and wolfless," I question wrapping a towel around my wet body.“ He doesn't know you're a rogue. And the elders don't really mind. They believe you're a good match for him," she responds. I snort, as for good match. A bunch of old man matchmaking, that's interesting. “Are you sure he won't notice? And why the elders think I'm good for this? I'm not strong enough for the role anyways. Why a weak Luna?" I ask, already drying myself and puting on some lotion. “ He will notice, but I'm sure it shouldn't be that much of a problem. And the elders? They took a little bit of convincing but I finally got them on our side , “ she argues. I wonder what did she tell them? Did she use hypnosis or something. Though she's been refusing to tell me anything about her deal and this so called Council. After putting on my dress, I walk over to Lisa who's already waiting for me. “You look stunning!" she claims, cheerfully swinging her arm

    In the darkness words definitely came like a stroke of lighting. The soft expression in his face didn't breath any threat but he's still a random stranger forcefully holding a girl in a dark alley. “Why should I trust you?" I still attempt to push him away, but his grip is too strong. Like a steel wall embodied in front of me. “Because we are trying to protect you from Lisa. She's a witch, and she would do anything to get what she wants. That's the reason she betrayed Neacal. That's why she kidnapped you when you were just a little girl. You can't trust a witch.

    Ethan's POVI find it hard to believe I was convinced to do this. Why am I so sure that this is a bad idea?“You look grumpy for a man who's getting married tomorrow," Storm comments. As if that's not a good enough reason for me kill someone. Suddenly my phone rings and I reach to pick it up. I see Micah on the caller, and wonder why he decided to call me. “Yes..." I groan resting the phone on my ear. “Change of plans—”" What do you mean change of plans? I thought you were supposed to find more information about this stupid woman, “ I frown. Maybe I can find something good enough to put an end to this stupid wedding. Hopefully silence the Elders too. " I mean I can't continue with my mission. Something came up.

    Natasha POVFinally the day of my wedding came. And I've been praying it doesn't. I'm just questioning everything. Why am I even doing this? Just so many unanswered questions lingering in my mind. Maybe if I had my wolf things wouldn't be so complicated. I never paid mind to the fact that I still haven't shifted yet. I supposed to have shifted years ago, but somehow I way past that dead line. And it never bothered me, but now I think I see the reason why I need my wolf. Our wolves are our voice of reason. At least I know many things would have been explained. I would have someone to explain to me whether I'm making the right decisions or not. But without her, it's very hard to tell. Especially when I don't know who to trust, and who to avoid. Who's the wolf clothing in sheep skin? And I still don't understand why would the Alpha agree to this. I would think an Alpha is smart enough to marry a stranger he's never met before. Couldn't he just refuse? Does he trust his father that mu
