Felza's POV Sitting in the peace of our new rooms, I still felt the sting from the slap I left o Rhys's cheek. The echo of my smack appeared to mix with the weight of my sadness in my head. Rhys's estate was beautiful and opulent. The surroundings was filled with beautiful flowers and plants yet the loneliness and quietness of the place made it very cold and unwelcoming.It felt to many of Rhys people that I was the heartbeat of a wealthy Alpha who was also very handsome and most of the girls dream man, but though all I got was the stifling quiet of betrayal and hopelessness, I had hoped for comfort or warmth. My own thoughts returned to my people, my clan. The people that watched and protected me while I was growing. Helped and teamed to evade external attacks many years ago and sustain the clan from external aggression. Their faces in the throng caught me as frozen in agony, disbelief and disappointment. Their exchanges of eyes suggested sadness. Watching me wed someone they kne
“Do I really need to do this, Mom?” I asked, my eyes glued to the mirror, watching myself in the white dress. I thought I would be happy or over the moon when I wore this dress, but right now all I feel is dread and regret.Regret for not marrying my fated mate, but rather marrying my chosen mate.We don't have any other option than me sacrificing my mate and my happiness for our pack, and I will happily do anything and everything for my pack.“I'm so sorry that we are putting you in this tough situation, honey. If it is in our hands, we will never let you sacrifice yourself,” my sweet mother put her hands on my shoulders, hugging me from behind while I was sitting on the stool like a happy bride, but I was not.“Why is he so cruel, Mom? Doesn't he know what mates are and what mate bonds are? Why did he choose me?” I asked, still in shock from the way my life had turned upside down.“I don't know, darling. Rumors say he doesn't have a heart and is ruthless, but I hope the moon goddess
“You look beautiful, my love!” His deep voice made me shiver physically, and my words stuck in my throat. I have been in my head since my father handed me over to him, and I am not at all present in the scene playing in front of me.The pastor was blabbing so much that I had tuned him out the second he opened his mouth.I averted my gaze from the charmingly handsome devil to the surroundings around us, which were decorated with white flowers.I don't even like the color white, nor the nameless white flowers.I was doing a good job of avoiding my soon-to-be husband by entertaining myself with every single useless thing around me, like subtly counting the flower petals in a bouquet behind Rhys.He caught me, and he startled me like I was a kitten and he was a big bad wolf.“Uh! Umm! T…thanks,” I breathed out the words, too intimidated by him to talk properly.He taunted me with that godforsaken word, trying to make me crack so I could make a scene, and he could get a chance to punish me
Felxa pov.. “ You clearly heard what I said, Love!” A cruel smirk appeared on his devilishly handsome face and iam having a conflict with my head, heart and body.Am I shameless and cruel for finding him attractive even though he is ruining my one chance at happiness! Something is clearly wrong with my head and my wolf, who is suddenly giving him eyes.“ No, I'm not going to do what you are asking. I'd rather die than reject my MATE.” I gritted out the last word putting emphasis on it.“ Do you think you have any say in this! You are going to do exactly what I am saying, Felza!” A warning growl rumbled through his chest and went straight to my core.What the fudge! Something is not right! Is there any witch near me? Who is blowing her magic my way! “ No! I'm not going to reject my Mate and I am canceling this stupid wedding.” Everyone gasped around me like how dare I stand up against the big bad Alpha without any fear.I can feel pity, bewilderment, Surprise and shock from the peopl
