Chapter two.

Kiara's POV.

"What is taking so much time? They are here already," The door flung open revealing Helene. 

One look at her and I broke into an uncontrollable fit of tears all over again.

Helene has been my personal maid since I was a kid, and the chief maid as well. She was the only one who doesn't treat me like trash in the pack. She pushed me through the years and tried to protect me from everyone, including my father, as much as she could. 

Now that I'm being separated from her, what more could hurt the most? 

Her gaze lingered softly on me for a while before turning to the bunch of maids dressing me up. "I need a moment with her, excuse us please," 

Once they had shut the door behind them, she slowly traced her steps towards me, walking past and stood beside me, her hands gently lowered on my shoulders as she stared pitifully at me through the large dressing mirror in my room. 

"Wipe your tears child, it isn't the end of the world," 

I chuckled bitterly, more tears streaming down my cheeks. "It could have been anyone else, Helene, literally anyone else, why Hyde?"

"But you know no one really knows the truth about Hyde, the allegations against him could all be rumors," she muttered.

"How could you even say that?" I turned around to face her. "It's no rumor that he is the Demon King, Helene, he did kill his brother, didn't he? oh and do we start talking about the packs he wiped away from the surface of earth? I could go on and on," 

A low sigh escaped her lips as she stroked my shoulders soothingly.

"Your faith with him could be different Kiara," her voice came out extremely low, it was evident that she didn't believe her words either.

"Tell me why father would do this to me?" I lamented bitterly.

Helene quickly threw her arms around me, pulling me into a warm hug.

"Will it be less unbearable if I spoke to your father and asked if I could come with you?" 

My eyes suddenly lit up in a small smile as her words hit my ear. "You will do that? 

"His approval is not guaranteed, but it's worth a shot," she replied, leaning forward to place a quick kiss on my cheeks before walking away.

As soon as she was gone, a sudden wave of sadness washed through me, the sad reality of my situation came to settle over my head. 

It wasn't an illusion, I was truly getting married to the demon king, the most dangerously feared man across all werewolf clans. 

I was moving from a hot pan of oil to a full blown fire. I guess I wasn't birthed to be fortunate anyway.

My breath was becoming heavy and the walls of my room spun in different directions setting my head in a hassle, I quickly turned around and headed towards the door. The slated atmosphere within my room was provoking my already messed up head and I needed to be out or I could be dead before the demon king gets the chance to do the honors. 

Grabbing the doorknob, I pulled it with a heavy force only to bump into a huge figure mounted right at my doorstep startling the living daylights out of me, I was so shaken that I lost balance of my foot on the floor, which had me spiraling towards the ground.

I was almost reaching the floor when I felt a pair of strong hands grab my wrist pulling me back up, surprisingly, I never landed on my feet instead I crashed into a warm body.

I suckled in a deep breath, grateful that I hadn't fallen and broken my bones but suddenly a strange but adorable fragrance hit my nostrils hard. It was nothing like I've ever scented before.

Slowly, I raised my face to get a glimpse of who or whatever I had crashed into, I was frozen on the spot as my gaze landed on the most glamorous piece of statue barely an inch away from me. 

I was lost in the tides of admiration when I suddenly felt the pair of hands on my waist move slightly, followed by the blink of the eyes. Only then, did I realize that it was truly a human and I was wrapped in his arms.

"Are you okay?" 

His voice wasn't left out in his magnificence, though coated with coldness and roared like the tides of an ocean, it was soothing to my ears.

The throbbing headache raving through my head suddenly disappeared as I feasted my gaze intently at him without any shame.

It was taking everything to hold myself back from parting my mouth open in awe.

I definitely wouldn't have been this dazed if he had managed to look a bit less hot than he is. 

Slowly, my gaze traveled from his face through his whole body to get a proper view. 

He was clad mysteriously in an all-black outfit, his hair deep black and slightly ruffled, amazing blue/green eyes, and perfectly structured jawline, his height and muscular arms were second to none, he had the looks of a complete Greek God.

Devin's good looks suddenly felt like shit compared to what I was staring at.

He could easily pass for a beauty.

I wanted so desperately to run my fingers along his perfectly shaped lips.

"Do you usually stare this much, or..?" His voice snapped me out of my chain of sinful thoughts.

I quickly jumped out of his arms and readjusted my dress. "I'm sorry, this is totally an accident." 

In a swift move, I turned around and headed out. 

I barely took a few steps away from him and abruptly halted on the spot, turning back around to face him, surprisingly, his gaze was glued on me as well. 

"Hold on... Were you standing at my doorstep?" 

His gaze shifted to my door, then back to me. "Your doorstep?" 

"You don't look familiar, are you perhaps a guest here? Did you miss your way to the Alpha's chamber? I can lead you there," I offered. 

He stared intently at me without saying a word. his gaze was blank, causing a sudden wave of fear washed over me as I noticed how dark they reflected, but then I couldn't deny the fact that it made him even more hot, though dangerously. 

"But I'll need your help in return, you must have come with your carriage am I right? Can I ride with you out of the pack? I'll totally disappear from your sight once we are out of the pack," I poured out desperately.

Surprisingly, a dry chuckle erupted through his mouth.  "Are you trying to escape?" He asked.

"That isn't for you to know, will you help me?" I snapped at him.

"Oh, I have absolutely no intention of helping you," He replied cockily and my eyes widened in shock.

How could someone this handsome be such a brute?

I walked closer to him with a pitiful look on my face.

"I am a lady in distress, you refuse to help a lady who is...

"I refuse to help when the lady is trying to escape so she doesn't have to marry me," he blurted out. My eyes flew open in shock, my eyeballs threatening to burst out of its sockets.
