The lights dimmed at the end and everyone made their way in. From the top everyone turned to the beauty who just appeared with her husband. “Wow” was all they could utter. Clair clenched her fist hard, staring at Emilia make her way down. She was not only dressed but caught the attention of all with her choice of attire. “Isn't that the lost pattern of the Zorah family?” everyone whispered and just like a twerk of a branch everyone had forgotten about Clair. Mark stood by the side watching Emilia make her way down with Fredrick. He could only wish he was the one by her side. Seeing her reminded him of what he had lost. “That should be me,” he muttered. The charming couple toast to everyone. Reaching the front Fredrick stepped aside but not after placing a soft kiss on her cheeks. Emilia smiled watching him walk away. “How long do you think this act of yours will play out in your favor?” Emilia did not need to be told who the rude voice belonged to. Clair came forward with a glass o
The ride home was quiet. From the side, Clair sat a thousand thoughts going through her mind. Everyone was aware of the fate of newly married couples who had children within the first months of their marriage. She did not want to be abandoned. She did not want to have her child steal all the affection of her husband and nothing left for her. Clair has always wanted to visit places, shop in the human realm and go places children can be taken. A child to her was nothing but a burden and she was not willing to have that sour her plans. Mark said a sad quote. “Only the luna of an unchosen alpha will dare such” the words repeated in his head like a broken record. How could he bring himself to forgive her? She was his wife but the child was his, his blood, his first fruit. How could he understand such betrayal? The car rode in the heavy weather, the rain pounding on the top but nothing was as unsettling as the air between the both of them. “We've arrived,” the driver said from the front
A pale figure lay on the floor too weak to move nor make a sound, cobwebs displaying art of untidiness among the thick layer of dust on every piece of furniture indicating how neglected she has been left to the hands of death. Emelia looks up at the shimmering moon navigating through the dancing curtains swaying to the rhythm of the night breeze. It was dark a time every creature within the deep dark forest revisited the bosom of their homes to rest their weary bone yet there was no sign of sleep, her body was on fire making her moan time and again from the shredding pain of the poison fed to her by her husband and his first love. Beauty was not a standard she did not meet. Sweet soft lips, smooth skin as soft as a baby’s butt, slender hands, and legs fit for nothing but a model of high demand. With everything, why didn't he want her?So much was to be said, yet her lips burned from the wounds caused by the acidic substance fed to her. “Why isn't she dead yet?” her husband's desp
Emelia opened her eyes, and the white roses beautifully spread around the water fountain caught her attention, she smiled unknowingly. White roses were her favorites. She turns around and every eye is on her, from the back of her head, she can feel the piercing gaze of everyone. She tried moving her legs and with no effort, it reacted, “no pain…” She thought. This was not the scene she had been expecting to see. The last of her memory was her dying a painful death and here she is with everyone staring at her like she is some expensive artifact laid out for display. She raised her pale fingers with nails painted blushed pink to her face, her tears felt too real for all this to be some dream, Emelia held the the hem of her dress pinching herself so hard, that she folded her lips not daring to let the screams bottled up within. Only then did she realize she had been reborn. The venue did not only look familiar but it was the day she wished to overturn the outcome more than anything
Entering the Alpha’s office and carefully closing the door behind her, Emelia took glances around the room. suddenly feeling suffocated and jumped up, it has always been a big office. She was familiar with its intriguing paintings and decor having visited it on countless occasions with her late parents, but today had its specialties.“Sit child” Alpha Camfrey urged her. Unlike Luna who had a specialty towards her two children, the alpha caredless. He was more interested in who would be his heir and so far Mark is the only befitting one fitting him into his standards of the next Alpha. Emelia pulled out a chair for herself with shaking hands. Her legs shaking tremendously from the tension scattered all over the room. “If she doesn't want the wedding, call it off… I dont have all day” a cold voice echoed all through the walls only increasing the nervousness within her. Emelia turned to a dark corner of the room, he was dressed in all black with very little light illuminating the da
The room felt so silent the sound of falling leaves could be heard. Emelia had her eyes on the floor, she dared not look in the face of everyone most especially Fredrick Camfrey. Silence wept through for another five minutes before a word was said. “ It is settled then '' Alpha Camfrey announced, dusting his hands cheerfully. Emilia sighs in relief. She breathed as much air as her mouth could carry for her lungs. Mark turned and everyone had a satisfied look on, he was the only one enraged by the decision. “ How can it be over?” he demanded. Losing his fated mate did not bug him as much as knowing his brother got her. Fredrick marrying Emelia will be nothing less than a hot slap in his face. “I can't have my mate marry my brother, '' Mark announced but the word brother sounded rather strange rolling out of his mouth. He was not the only one who felt its strangeness but the red-eyed demon seated felt it too. “Emelia just can't marry Fred,'' Mark concluded. Luna comfrey patted her
7 days down and everything feels like a touch of illusions cooked up in Emelia’s head. Emelia has not had a moment of peaceful sleep. Her thoughts constantly drifted away into the unknown abyss of uncertainty. Staring down at the snow-white wedding dress soon to be worn, she sighs regretfully. Her wedding has been all her parents talked of as she came of age. The alliance they all wished and prayed for. There was nothing they did or said that did not have to do with her marrying their best friend's son. Her wedding had been all her parents long anticipated. The wedding dress had not only been exclusively customized with everything hand-designed but 3 years was enough time to have them pay for the dream wedding for their princess before the unfortunate hands of death snatched them away from her. She had thought he was the one, she had carefully chosen every design with her mother, handpicking the day's color and flowers. She went for dessert and cake tasting and here she was marryi
The wedding was like a glimpse and just before she could blink it was all over, Emelia stared out of the window watching the night light spread across the city beautifully. She smiles watching the folks go about their duties with smiles and cheerful behaviors. Deep down Emelia wanted such a life, she wanted to feel real happiness again and live for herself.Her eyes squint holding back her tears as they threaten to fall. The car takes a new turn making her aware of the change of directions. She snaps out of her thoughts taking her head away from the window turning her attention to the man before her. A sly smile plays on Fredrick’s lips watching the pudzle look of the woman before him. To say he had not been expecting her to react would be a lie.“We are married” he stated the fact not taking his eyes away from the front. He was too tired, but not exhausted enough. Emelia raised a questioning brow. “I know we are married, but why the change of direction, this is certainly not the way

The city was bustling with sounds of music and a cheerful surrounding engulfed the little Pack. Lakes Pack has always loved parties and thrown off the best. Following their participation in the last Alpha choosing ceremony, the land was not only known for its size but now its honor. The Tamara family couldn't let such an opportunity pass them by. Alice hasn't blinked for a second, she wanted everything well and good. It was not every day they got to host the alpha and lunas of the realm. “Make sure it's all color-coded and presentable” She ordered going through the flowers. The servants could only do their very best. From a distance attentive eyes watched her go about everything. Alpha Rogan smiled, staring at his Luna, she was older than him but it was not what he cared about. In the realm most had speculated they would be the worst match but like the moon chose they love each other with everything. “I see you chose cream” he stated staring at the color for the day. “Yes I did, an
Emilia walked out of the office exhausted, the staff had all left and only her was left. Walking out she noticed a car parked at the front, it took just a second to recognize it as Fredricks. She walks over and the door opens for her. “Hello,” she says, getting comfortable. Frederick nods his eyes, focusing on the file before him. The ride was quiet and Emilia stared out the window watching the city light dance with joy. She would give up anything to be them just for a second, she would willingly take the risk to shine and guide the way for others rather than be trapped in this cage she found herself in. “The contract is ready,” he announced, catching her attention. Emilia turned to the man close to her, taking the file in his hand. “You must be kidding right?” she demanded staring at every clause. Was he mad to think she would agree to something absurd like that? Frederick faced her cold as ever. “You are expected to sign and hand it over to me at dawn. You can sleep over it” She
“ How can she do this? Lakes is only but a small pack that can crumble at the command of my voice, how dare she deny me an invitation” Clair could barely feel herself after the humiliation they just suffered. In her room, she paces all around. “How dare Alice Tamara” she lamented flunking objects to every corner of the room. Dama had to keep out of sight, now was not the time to approach her lady. The humiliation was too much and she too was very much aware of it. It was all the pack talked about. The action of Fredrick had greatly bruised the pride of Clair and Alpha Mark... It's been a day since the party and no sign of Alpha. It was not uncommon for him to be gone for so long but it has always been for business reasons but this time was not the same. “Dama, how could she?” Clair asked, falling to her feet, tears streaming down her eyes. She had everything figured out. The plans of her father have never failed but yesterday had brought so much shame and disgrace to her name. “Ho
He roughly sucked her lips as she struggled but the flames in her were too powerful to be quenched by her resistance. Emelia’s hands held firmly around his neck deepening the kiss, as Dark’s hands caressed her skin pinning her hard on the table. Their rough breaths echo in the dark, the room filled with pleasurable moans and the smell of intoxication. She melted in his arms, under his touch she felt aloof, she could feel her legs willingly spread allowing him access as his fingers grazed her pussy sending waves of shivering. Her body trembling under his touch, her eyes filled with lust and pleasure. “Ahh…yeah” she cried, holding on tight to his shirt. Frederick was fighting, this was not how he wanted to take her. Emilia was fragile and Dark was certainly going to do so much damage. He fought from the dark hitting and commanding his other half. A powerful man he was but in the arms of an enraged Dark he could do so little. “I do anything you ask of please don't touch her” he pleade
Home was as quiet as usual but the unsettling feeling from earlier had not gone away. Emilia could not bring herself to sleep, she kept tossing and turning but the hours went by and nothing changed. This was a contract marriage, a union of nothing but benefits but as time went by she could only worry about the whereabouts of Fredrick. Frustrated, she tossed the cover aside swiftly, taking her night cover and dashing out of her bedroom. The mansion was quiet and cold, she wrapped her hands tightly around her bosom. The chills of the night send shivers down her spine as she makes her way to the kitchen. The kitchen was huge occupied with fully packed fridges and freezers. Never has she come to understand the need for so much when he barely ate at home and the servants had a kitchen at the back which takes care of their meals. Emilia sighed opening the huge fridge and as expected it was not only packed with her favourite meals but milk. She grabs the jar of milk, pouring herself a gla
The hall froze, and everyone’s gaze turned to Mark, who stood unable to understand a word. How was this possible? He was the one they all knew, the one who had diligently done every work there was to do over the years. How could he not be alpha? Mark could not make out the voices close to him, he watched Clair reach out to him murmuring a few words but everything was quiet. The huge entrance gave way and Fredrick walked in with Emelia cuddled up in his arms like they were the perfect couple. Everything was a blur as he pushed his way past a worried Clair. “Mark…Mark” Clair called out trying hard to get hold of him only to be shoved to the back barely to hold herself. “What's wrong with him? Wasn't he aware the position was not his, to begin with? Why is he acting up?” a few voices echo amidst the crowd but Mark is too consumed by rage to hold himself back. “YOU…” he pointed to Fredrick who stood calm and his eyes dense carrying a hint of victory in them despite his calm smile. Mark
Guests made their way in and were welcomed by the alpha and Luna. The hall was filled with men of power and prestige alongside their wives and dates for the night. This was not only a small event. Today's announcement did not only carry the future of the land but the status and capabilities of both brothers. They all knew Mark had always been favored over his elder brother. Yes, it was true a gap was too wide to be closed. As they chatted and whined, they all eagerly waited for the stroke of midnight. Upstairs, Clair frantically walked over to her room all dressed but no sign of her husband. This was no day for delay. Overlooking the guest arriving from the balcony, she desperately wished there would be no sign of Emelia and Frederick. The ball was not yet in their court and she wanted nothing to make it not enter. From behind Dama watched her mistress space all around. She wanted to help but this was far beyond her means. Her hands reached out to Clair's shoulders as she flinched,
