Choosing His Bride

2024-10-29 19:42:56*Laura’s POV*
We all sat quietly with everyone lost in their own special worlds; we all had one thing in common, though it was fear. Fear of the Knights.
I wanted to know more. I wanted to know if there was anything else we could do instead of sending Annabel off to those people who were scaring the shit out of Mom and Charles.
"Is there something we can do to avert this?" I asked quietly, at the same time avoiding Annabel's gaze.
"Nothing." He replied. He suddenly looked far older than he was a day ago due to worry.
"This is terrible!" Annabel shrieked. "What would we do there, huh? Become his maid? his Mistress? Or what?"
"You're going to become his wife!" Charles snapped. He's been unknowingly snapping at his baby a lot for the past 2 hours.
"Wife?" Annabel asked incredulously, as if that was the least she was expecting.
"Yes, that's what's stated in the letter, he wants to get married to one of you." He replied coldly, stating the word "wife" like it was some sort of disease. As if he could no longer find comfort in sitting, he stood up and started pacing around the living room.
"That's not bad," Annabel stated with a shrug. "I'll marry him since he's obviously rich." Sly bitch.
"Pheew, thank God!" I whispered to myself, but they all heard. I was totally relieved that at least one of us had agreed to go with them willingly.
"Annabel, what about Chris?" Mom cried. Oh, I totally forgot.
"He'll get over it" she replied coolly. "Moreover, Laura can have him now." This bitch!
"I can't believe you can be this insensitive, Annabel!" I seethed angrily. "I do not need you dumping your used toys in my drawer!"
"But you were already crushing on him!" She cried in a bat-like voice.
"Used to crush on him! As in crushed- in the past tense!" I snapped back with equal fierceness.
"But you cannot deny the fact that you like-"
"ENOUGH!" Dad Charles's loud voice boomed over our voices and made us cower in fear. "Now get out of here Laura, and do not come downstairs until I ask for you." Definitely, I always got punished for crimes committed by both of us.
I looked straight into his eyes, then back at Annabel's, and raised my middle fingers to both of them; everyone gasped. Good. Feeling satisfied, I turned on my heels and stomped upstairs towards my room.
When I got to my room, I banged the door shut and slumped on my bed. I could never believe Annabel's guts. The girl's downright evil. I still couldn't believe she'd easily push Chris away and then tell me to go for him after she practically stole him from me two years ago.
I remember the day I took Chris home. He was my date! My very first date! I noticed how Annabel had looked at him, how she had conversed with him, but I didn’t allow myself to think too much about it.
Two weeks later, I was angry at Annabel for stealing my stuff, and I had angrily stomped towards her room. The door was slightly open, so I took it as a sign to walk in unannounced.
And I regretted my action.
I've always regretted walking into that room that day because what I saw broke my heart and scarred me for the rest of my life. Chris and Annabel were in her bed!
And they were going at it. They had both turned to look at me, with her legs still wrapped around his waist. He looked surprised, while she looked angry. They were still naked, and still... joined.
I broke up with Chris that very day, but his relationship with Annabel soared; until now.
This harsh break-up probably serves him right.
***
We were all clustered in the sitting room waiting for the so-called Knights to arrive, and it was putting everyone on edge.
Annabel was dressed in a short black lacy dress with black stiletto heels, the makeup on her face was almost excessive, but it wasn’t my business, she was the one getting married!
I noticed Charles eyed my grey hoodie in distaste, but I didn't care. I had paired it with black leather trousers and black sneakers. I knew I looked horrible but I would do anything so as not to catch the fancy of the so-called Knight.
At exactly 10:35am, the doorbell rang, making Mom and Annabel gasp at the same time. Morons! Charles went for it and walked back seconds later looking as if a vampire had fed off him. Behind him were four handsome Giants, And I'm not really exaggerating!
For a moment, I felt a strange feeling of unease surge over my spine, the room suddenly felt hot, there was this weird sweet smell in the air; it was so strong that it seemed like it was about to consume me. I sucked in a deep breath to keep myself in order when I noticed that two of the Giants were already sitting down, the other two were standing defensively behind the sofa.
"Mr Newman, I guess you know why we're here." The one sitting closer to where I sat spoke up. Rude. No pleasantries, no nothing.
Maybe he's the one getting married to Annabel. They would make such a rude couple!
"Yes, we do." Charles answered quietly, his voice coming off shaky, "my daughters have talked about it and come to the conclusion that my eldest daughter, Annabel, will go with you."
"She's a good catch…" The other one drawled; he had this voice that was both authoritative and melodic at the same time. His voice got my attention and made me stare at him for a while.
He was obviously larger and more handsome than the other one. In fact, he even looked more scary. He had grey eyes that bore into mine as he stared back at me and I felt the weird sensations come back when our eyes met…is he my mate? Never! And then he winked.
Fucking pervert!
"But Mr Newman, I said to one of your daughters, I never asked you to pick my bride." He said, staring intently at Charles. Oh my God! He's the one getting married to Annabel?
"I'm sorry, but she is willing, her sister isn’t," Charles replied; and I swear I saw Annabel smile flirtatiously at the large guy. I wouldn't blame her though, he's hot and he's her future husband.
"Well, I am interested in the unwilling one." The big guy snapped this time. He's not a patient person.
But wait, what?
I looked at my parents to notice they were staring at me in surprise, and there was this look of hatred in Annabel's eyes. It dawned on me.
"W-what?" I stuttered in shock.
"Aye baby girl, I am interested in wedding you and not your sister." The big guy said. I raised my hands, sending my best death glare towards him, but he didn’t pay attention to me as he continued; "And she's coming with us this minute, Jake pick her up!"
“No, no!” I cried, as one of the bulky bodyguards raised me to his shoulders like I didn’t weigh much, and strolled out of the room. I didn’t know how it got to this but I knew my life was fast taking on another turn.

*Laura’s POV*"We're here." Someone said from beside me. It was that other Giant whom I almost thought was the one to marry Annabel- Or me.Before I could even blink, the car door had been thrown open and the Giant one was already outside. How he could flee from the car at such speed was way beyond me. They could be hybrids!"Come down." someone said from outside the car, but I couldn't move. I couldn't bring myself to. I could only stare at them in pure horror and wonder what would become of me if I did."Come down!" Another gruff voice commanded fiercely. Pushing my thoughts to the back of my mind, I picked up my wobbly legs and got out of the car as fast as I could."Good." Giant one said, "Come this way." he stated simply, and for the first time since my first encounter with him, I noticed he had a distinct accent- he's probably half Irish.Looking towards the direction he was pointing in, I saw a large glass mansion, Glass! Or maybe it was made from a material that looked like gl
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha Pleasure And Pain
*Laura’s POV *I woke up a few hours later to find myself stripped and chained. Both of my hands had cuffs around them with chains that were connected to the ceiling; and even my legs were chained too, but I didn't see where the chains led to. The room was dark.My palms were all sweaty, my hair clung to my face due to the presence of excessive sweat and my stomach was already grumbling from the lack of food for the past few hours. Worst of all were my butts. They were in pain! The cold metallic chair was not just hard against it but also felt like tiny needles were pricking at it.Dear Goddess, I'm going to pass out soon...The only sound that had been resounding around the room was the tick-tock of the wall clock, which I couldn't help but notice when the sound of an opening door took its place. I still couldn't see anything but I knew who had entered, for his presence made that weird sweet sensation crawl up my skin again. "I see you haven't changed- yet, and it's past 12 already.
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha Strip!
********I don't understand why I had to become the mate of someone like Xander, as he is called. Just when I thought I had it all living with my mom, stepdad and sister, I never imagined I would live a much worse life in the pack of my so-called mate, Xander. The room is quite spacious and supposed to be comfortable since there happened to be a huge bed, a large television in the middle of the room and a closet filled with all styles of clothing and shoes, but then,my life was much worse. I wasn't happy. Nothing seemed to be going okay. While I was growing up, I used to imagine that my mate would be some handsome prince charming who would sweep me off my feet, love and protect me with all of his heart. Little did I know that I would be living a life of hell with my so-called mate. Handsome he was, but cruel and ruthless he was also. In my own mate's pack, I became a prisoner. Living in the room prepared for me for over a month without basking in the sound or having the rain drop
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha Bear With It
I stared at him, my heart pounding violently like it was going to burst out of my chest at any minute. This was so not my plan. I don't understand why things had to be this way. I stood in front of him, I felt like I was being made to stand in front of a crowd without clothes. He was my mate but he treated me worse than a whore. He laid on my bed with his hands placed underneath his head, his legs crossed together, while staring at my nakedness. He didn't utter a word but took a good view of my naked form. I cover both parts of my chest with my hands but, unfortunately, I don't have a third hand to cover my private area. His gaze was weirdly dark while he stared at me. This was something new. Whenever he comes to my room, I get punished in a different way. The last time he came, he made me squat while he laid flat on the floor while he feasted on my pussy. He ate me for an hour and I was not allowed to move. If I did, he would bite my clit every single time. I cried and moaned at
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha Passed Out
I stroked and sucked him countless times, and he always cummed deep down my throat, making me swallow his liquid. Though this was meant to make me suffer, as much as I sucked him, I felt high with desires. Now I understand what the punishment was all about. He wanted me to feel all high with urge but he never planned on satisfying me. I could feel my liquid littering the floor. I needed him deep inside me, but he just wouldn't give me what I wanted. I don't understand why he had to be so cruel towards me. I sucked and sucked until I couldn't feel my throat or the walls of my jaw anymore. They ache so badly. I couldn't even try to speak, knowing my voice would be inaudible. I sucked him and I lost count of the many times he came. The guy was a sex maniac. He never got tired, no matter how much he released. When he noticed I was getting tired of sucking him on my own, he would pull me towards his dick with his hands placed at the back of my head, then he began thrusting the walls of
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha Why Did You Bring Me Here?
I had been absent from the pack for two days now, but my beta, Chris, had always known where I was at. "Xander, why are you here? I thought you'd been with your mate ever since you took her to our pack?" I took my gaze up at Chris, but didn't say a word to him. I rather sipped my wine and stared into empty space. "Xander, I don't know what you have in mind, but do you know Luna almost died last night?" I froze but didn't show it. I slowly put down the glass of wine I was drinking and took my gaze back to Chris. "What do you mean?""I don't know what happened. She didn't come down for breakfast-""That is because I asked Lucy to let her have some rest," I interrupted. "Oh, some rest. Okay, I understand that, but she didn't come for lunch or dinner either. Since no one bothered to see what she was up to, I decided to go visit her-""Why would you visit my mate!" I interrupted again and this time, I could hardly hold back my anger. "Woah! Best it down Xander! You were not around an
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha Beautiful Ciara
Just when I thought I would be able to tell him all what I felt, I rather ended up holding myself back because I knew what that meant. Another Punishment. I haven't recovered from the one I went through lady night, so it would be foolish of me to provoke him again. Who knows, maybe I will die this time, since I didn't succeed in dying the first time. I wanted to ask the healer who actually saved me, but I was scared to go too deep with my questions. I don't want any trouble. Though he was being nice to me, that didn't stop me from being scared. They were all lycans and I suppose they think alike. Maybe it was better to forget whoever it was that saved me. That way I would have a peaceful life. If there was anything I learned while living under the roof of my stepfather, it was to mind my business. That was the only way I stayed out of trouble. ********Ever since I was admitted to the infirmary, the only person who has visited me was the pack's beta named Chris and, of course, the
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha A Possible Rival
When night came, I could hardly sleep, what I saw and heard earlier in the day kept replaying in my head like a movie. I also remember laughing at him for the way he behaved. I thought no woman would want to be with a man like Xander, but from the look of things, it was the reverse. No man would want to be with an ugly duckling like me. No wonder my ex-boyfriend chose my sister over me. What was I ever thinking, saying that to Alpha Xander? Good thing I didn't complete my sentence for fear of being punished. Still, that doesn't change the fact that I laughed at him, what a fool I've made of myself. I face palmed myself feeling terrible about my actions. But now that the future Luna is here, what will be my fate? It was already troublesome with Xander around. What will happen to me, now that Ciara is here? I took a glance outside and stared at the moon, which shone brightly. What has the moon goddess in store for me? Does she hate me this much? Could I have committed a grave sin i

****Laura's POV***# A Year later It hasn't been easy, being a white wolf and Luna to the great Knighter's pack. The destruction caused by my disappearance was unimaginable, but then, I'm glad the pack is yet again stable.While I was in my room, preparing for my Luna duties, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. “Please come in, Sarah,” I said without having to look at the door to see who it was. Sarah walked into the room, looking quite panicked. I creased my brow in a frown, wondering why she was looking that way. “What's happening, Sarah?”“The Alpha requests your presence in the pack hall, as there's something you must see.”I raised an instant brow and wondered what it could be. Since the maid had already informed me, it was better to go and find out what it really was, myself. Without wasting time, I stood up from my chair and headed out of my room quickly. The moment I approached the pack hall where meetings were conducted, I couldn't help but feel something Familiar and
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha Yes Xander, I Want It
****Xander's POV***She stood right in front of me while peering down at me, like I was the slave and she the master. Of course, she's my master. I took my gaze downwards, but there was no sign of pregnancy. Silly me, what was I expecting? It's been years and I still don't expect her to be pregnant still, unless I'm expecting to see her carry another man's child. Alpha Dominique and the rest of the men had left, leaving just me and Laura. “Why are you here?” I heard her ask. I was so lost in her eyes that I didn't realize she was actually asking me a question. “Are you going to keep staring at me or will you answer my question?”“Laura, my love. I thought you died.”“What are you doing here?”I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. Where should I start from? I never expected that I would actually see her here. When I opened my eyes, I could see her staring at me curiously and obviously waiting for an answer. “I wanted to end it all. I thought I would never see you again, and so I

***Xander's POV***Having made up my mind to sacrifice myself for the safety of my pack I ventured to Alpha Dominique's pack with all determination. While I drove down to the pack, I made sure there were no weapons with me because I know Alpha Dominique, and that is the fact that he respects sincerity. I'm certain that when he sees my sincerity, he would surely grant me that which I seek. That is what I wish, and I hope he would actually grant me that which I truly seek from him. Just as I had expected, the moment I got to Alpha Dominique's pack, I was met by his men, but they dared not approach. I believe they thought that I had decided to come take my revenge. “Alpha Xander, you're far from your pack. Are you really here to launch an attack on us?”The man whom I recognized as Dominique's beta asked. “I'm not here for an attack, but rather, in here to see your Alpha.”They all looked at me skeptically. I could tell that they didn't believe my words. “You don't have to be scared
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha Xander's Intrusion
***Laura's POV***Since I didn't want to waste that much time, I know I should go straight to the point.“Honey, where have you been?”My mom asked, while my dad stared at me curiously. I heaved a long sigh and told them everything that had happened.“Oh no! That evil witch! I swear I'm going to have her killed for what she did to my daughter!” My mom lashed out. I was strongly baffled because this was my first time seeing my mom that mad. I've never seen her get mad at anyone before.“I knew it! This is why I would forever Blake Alpha Xander. It was all his fault. If only he hadn't involved himself with that witch, all of this wouldn't have happened.”“You're all right. Presently, there's no one who wants her dead like I do. I want her to pay for what she's done, not just to me, but for causing the packs to go to war.”My mom and dad both stared at me with a surprised expression.“What? You know what happened here?” My dad inquired, looking quite taken aback.“Well, both packs are wi

That's why I think it's best that you really put an end to the battle. It has lingered for far too long“I know that's why I'm trying my best to put it to an end. I'm afraid that if this continues, both Alpha will end up killing one another. And I will never forgive myself if that happens“I understand you. You should take care of yourself and stay safe“I will. I'll be leaving Kaden with Mrs. Prisca,I'll come back for him the moment I have succeeded in what I'm going for“You don't have to worry. Kaden is safe with us. I have arranged some men to go with you, just in case you really need help. But still, you can inform me if you really need my help“Alpha Darius, you really didn't have to do this much for me. This is my fight, and I should be fighting it alone“You are fighting alone, that's wh

I walked up to him with fury burning in my eyes. “What do you think would happen? If we can't protect the pack border? I'm not worried about myself, but what about the pack members? Do you think Alpha Dominique would care about the pack members? All he wants is his daughter!”“I know Alpha, why don't we come to an agreement with Alpha and try searching for Luna once more?”“You think I'm not searching for her? Alpha Dominique isn't giving me time to search for Luna.”“Fuck! This is all the faults of Miss Ciara. Why did she have to come up with such devious Plans?”“This isn't the time to think about what Ciara did. Tell me, have you heard about the men I asked you to send you to keep a track on her?”“Yes Alpha, but it seems Miss Ciara had gone into hiding.”“What? How the hell did she get away f
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha The Reason For The War
***Laura's POV***I instantly felt weak on my knees the moment Alpha Darius told me about the Battle between Xander and my dad. So, the fight has been because of me. I can't imagine what they must have lost during the process. This was all my fault. What should I do now? I should have told my parents I was safe earlier, and waited until Kaden was older. Just what was I thinking? How was I supposed to revolve the issue on ground? What am I going to do now? This is all my fault! Shit!“Uhm, Laura, I know how you must feel. But you have to be brave yourself. I think the best thing to do is if you do not want this war to continue, then it is time to put a stop to it. Immediately, I raised my head up and faced Darius. “Tell me, how do I bring this to a stop?”Darius stared into my eyes as if I had said something strange. “Did you really mean it when you said you want to bring a stop to this?”“Of course, I mean it. I can't let them continue on this bloodbath, or can I?”“This is good,
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha The Alphas At War
**Laura's POV**While at home, Mrs. Prisca and I made dinner together. Alpha Darius dropped by and since he didn't tell us beforehand, we didn't make preparations for his coming. “Darius, what's happening at the pack? You seem quite busy recently.”“I'm sorry mom, I know I should have come home at the time I promised. But yea, you're right. I've been quite busy dealing with pack matters that I could hardly even have time for myself.”“Oh, dear, they must have been really stressed. Just what exactly are you busy about? The business perhaps?”“Well, if it has anything to do with the business, that would be quite understandable. It's about the battle between two packs that is unending. So many things have been destroyed, and yet it doesn't seem like it will ever come to an end,” Darius explained. I paused at that moment, wondering why there are two packs in each other's throats for years and I couldn't help but wonder what they are truly fighting about and if it's worth fighting for an

*****Laura's POV****While I was in the clinic, trying to prepare for the day, Ms. Athena walked in. “Oh my goodness! You look so heavy, Miss Athena,” I said, looking cheerful at Athena's growing bump. “It's all thanks to you. If it weren't for your discerning eye, I'm sure I would have taken my life, some months ago, thinking I was barren and wouldn't be able to have my child.”“Oh, come on, it's not because of me at all. I just did what I could.”“Exactly. All you had to do was touch my stomach and make it known to me that I was actually with child, and to this very moment, I can't even begin to tell you just how happy I am that I didn't change my mind about you. Maybe things would have taken a different turn for me. Or better yet, perhaps I would have lost my child due to my ignorance.”“And I'm still thankful that you chose to trust me, and today we'll be celebrating your safe delivery any moment from now,” I said with a smile splattered on my face.”“Oh, thank you so much!”As
