LOGINComplete!!!!!! She grew in wealth without the love she needed the most. In a world with customs and traditions, her upbringing was her destruction. She was trained to make men bend their knees at the sight of her smile yet she bores pure innocence. Then, she was sold to the highest bidder for what her family calls an initiation before she turns a woman. What would happen to her? Would she fall in love to the enigmatic prince who bought her? What would happen if she delve herself on her darkest desires? ...... Hot breath tickled my nose and the smell of my favorite vanilla potpourri filled me. I opened my eyes. Gray met me, like a cluster of angry clouds. "Good morning," the guy whispered in my face. His proximity made me hold my breath. The guy won the bidding and I wasn't wrong. His stare held intensity. He backed down, going to his seat, across from mine. My head snapped to the side; the morning lights seeped through the window beside me. White cumulus clouds parted as the plane flew us above the horizon. I must be asleep for too long that they were able to transfer me from the helicopter to the plane. I snapped back my attention to the guy, "What's your name?" I asked the first question that popped in my mind, being able to let go of the building tensions. "I'm An--" A chuckle escaped from the guy. "No need for proper introductions but as you initiated. I am Yulian." He scratched his chin, looking for my reactions, his thick accent indicated Russian descent. "And you, milady is going to be Mi Eliza, my wife." "Wife? But--" I stopped couldn’t able to form the right words to say. "For a year, yes."
View More"This is not acceptable!" I shouted inside my father's office. Many of the elders and high ranking wolves gasps in my reaction.
His dark aura looming inside the room but I don't care. It's my future we're talking here. He should fight and the pack. We are wolves for Moon sake!
"Adellee, this arrangement was made by our ancestors. I can't say no to them. It's our duty to protect our pack in any cost." Alpha Elliot said.
He is my father, the Alpha of SnowMoon Pack. We are now discussing the contract send by SilverMoon Pack. This contract is the living proof of our grand ancestors making allies to SilverMoon Alpha. They helped us long time ago in a war. The Alphas made a sealed contract binding the third generation to marry each other. Potential mate or not.
"This is my life! How can you force me to mate that blood sucker Alpha. We know them, they have a very bad reputation specially the leading Alpha now. I will not marry him." I said firmly.
Alpha Kayden is known for his cruelty and prestige. He made them even stronger when he acquired the Alpha title five years ago. They become conqueror and destroy of their enemies packs. He is a living proof of hell on earth.
I don't know why the Moon let this happened, but this is too much for all of us to handle. We, the SnowMoon pack have known for being white fur wolves plus the snow land we have. We are strong pack for a long time now and that is because the SilverMoon pack helped our previous alpha and the continuous alliance since then.
"If you don't do this Adellee, our pack will be shattered. They will kill us all if we break the contract." Elliot said.
"Do you want to see us all dead before you agree with this? We are wolf Adellee! We are leaders of this pack. You are one of the best female warrior and healer here, even you still can't shift. Do you want us all to fight for you? For your life? Is your life important than the whole pack?" Alpha Elliot asked.
I almost breakdown when I heard his question. Can I risk their lives exchange to mine? Can I start a war for the sake of my own freedom? My family, the family of our pack members, am I really willing to sacrifice them all?
"Maybe try to know him first before you decide. He doesn't even know this contract too. Maybe he is furious like you, they can break the contract Adellee. You at least try this things before you decide." Father said.
I fall back to my sit. I look at everyone face. They are all looking at me, pleading to do what is necessary for the pack.
If I can make that Alpha hate me or dislike me, maybe he withdraw the arrangement and break the contract.
That idea gives me strength to agree with it.
"Okay fine! I'll do this. But I want all of you to know that this is not easy for me too. My chance to have my own mate is at risk now, I may never see him or feel him again because of this. But for the sake of the pack, I will do this." I said half smiling to everyone. I know I need to be strong and show no weakness to my people. I am the daughter of Alpha Elliot of SnowMoon pack. This is my duty to protect my pack in any cost.
"Thank you Adellee. This is a big sacrifice for you but you made the right decision for the pack." First Beta Martin said. He is as old as my father. Soon, when Dexter is old enough, he will takeover the Alpha position of my father. Though I am the first born, still I'm a female. My brother deserve the title because he is working so hard for that.
"I will do all that I can do to make this work." I said to all of them. I know it's a lie but I can make excuses when the day comes.
"Were counting on you Adellee." Dexter, my brother said.
"Father, did he know that I can't shift?" I asked. Maybe I can use that as a reason for his to back out in this stupid contract or what ever arrangement they made.
"Yes, but he still want to continue this since they are known to have a word of honor. Alpha Kayden ensure me that he will follow this arrangement." Alpha Elliot said.
I feel week this time. So he knows that I can't shift! I said to myself. Though I know inside my wolf is still sleeping. I can feel her but she's not awake yet. How long I will wait for you wolf? How long? I asked her but still..... she's sleeping.
"Can I go now Father? I'm too exhausted. I need to pack my things right?" I asked.
My father look defeated. I know he doesn't want this but he can't say no and start a war between us and one of the most powerful pack in the world.
"The first beta of SilverMoon will be here tomorrow to pick you and your things." He said.
"So I guess, I really need to pack my things." I said.
"This meeting is over, you can all go home now." Father ordered them. The whole council of the pack leave the room except Dad, Dexter and I.
"Father, are we really doing this to Adellee?" Dexter asked.
"Yes, Dexter." My father sigh. "I don't have a choice. The leaders, Elders and high ranking warriors already decided for this. Me being the Alpha, needed to attend to their concern. And they want to give your sister to the SilverMoon pack, even they cage and send her to Alpha Kayden with ribbons at the top." He said. He is the Alpha but this is majority of the peoples votes. He can't say no.
"I'll be fine Dex." I said to him, though I don't know what is waiting for me there. A whole life of hell!
"I don't agree with this! This is wrong." Dexter said. He looks mad and sad at the same time.
"Get over with it Dex! I am your big sister, stop acting like a crazy little brother." I said trying to change the mood.
"Be careful Adellee." Father said.
I smile back to him and hug my baby brother. I'm sure, I'm gonna miss them a lot. They are my best buddies when my mother died giving birth to Dexter. That's why, I took good care of my baby brother until now.
It doesn't mean that when you decide to leave, you will be forever running. Sometimes you just need the time to sort things out, even birds come back.I couldn't tell how long I gazed at his sleeping form before I turned my back. I left without a single word of goodbye. I was scared. I knew that I might not leave if he tried to beg me one more time. I knew that I would give in to him. I badly wanted to stay but I couldn't afford to so. I forced myself to walk out of the house that morning with heavy feet and never looked back again. I willed myself to move on even if it was killing me. Thus, from that day on, my dreams were haunted by his image.
Memories are the windows to the almost forgotten past.There's a faint noise in the background, followed by soft footsteps. My door opened and I heard momma sing. "Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to you!" I pretended to wake up. Momma sat on the side of the bed, holding a plate of steaming pancakes. I anchored my elbow to a sitting position, a smile spread on my lips. "Happy birthday baby girl!" Momma greeted me with a big grin.
Our past will never define our future."Anja, what taking you so long?" Yulian called from downstairs.The past months had been really great and now I'm in my last week of stay with Yulian. I had no idea what was about to happen, how our goodbyes would turn out to be but one thing I was sure of, I have no interest in coming back home. The idea of living in the same house with my father a
Sometimes, you find happiness in the most unexpected way possible. But most of the time, happiness is not a permanent thing. You need to constantly work for it or it will fade within your grasp."What do you want to do now? Do you want to go back to Crestwood?" Yulian whispered in my ears, waking me up. We stayed late at night after mending our misunderstandings. We talked endlessly about every topic you could think of without getting tired. I haven't even realized that I fell asleep until I felt Yulian's kisses on my neck and ears.I stretched out my hands,
