Valarie

I almost choked on my food and Alpha Tristan handed me a glass of water, I wasn't expecting his Grandfather to say that.

"We just got married, give us time " He uttered.

"There's no time young man, I'm no longer young and I need to see my grandchildren before anytime happens to me " Alpha Theo replied before leaving the dining.

I finished my food and Laura decided to take me on a tour around the house as she was instructed.

I think he needs some time to adjust to the changes" Laura said to me smiling.

"What's he like?" I asked.

"He's cold and icy on the outside but he has a good heart" She replied and I scoffed.

"How did you know that?"

"He saved me from the hands of some bad men and brought me here, he gave me a home and a job" She replied and I was flabbergasted.

"I think he's still healing from his past traumas" she said and I had no choice than to agree with her.

I went to the library to read some books in order to relax, Tristan was no where to be found and Laura was busy with some chores.

Life as a queen means doing nothing all day and just walking around in a big royal dress and a crown on your head.

Carolyn and Lady Bianca hasn't spoken a word to me since I arrived and they won't give me an opportunity to say something to them.

There were so many good books on the shelves making it hard for me to make a choice.

I wanted to take a particular book from the upper shelf but couldn't reach it, I found a stool at the corner and climbed on it.

"Yesss!" I exclaimed happily as I laid my hands on the book, I was so excited that I forgot that I was standing on a stool, it started shaking and I was about falling down when I fell into a muscular arms.

I was so scared, I opened my eyes and saw Alpha Tristan staring at me, I was still in his arms and my hands were wrapped around his neck

his hands were encircled around my waist and his eyes were fixed into mine.

It was as if our world stopped for a moment as we stared into each other's eyes affectionately, his hands still encircled around my waist and my hands around his neck, I couldn't think of what was going on in his head but, the way he stares at me says it all, my heart was pounding so fast and I could feel butterflies in my stomach. I was lost in his world as I stare at his well chiseled face, his facial features were out of this world and I had to stop myself from carressing his face.

He realized himself and quickly let go of me and I fell on the floor, "ouch!" I winced in pain while rubbing my back which was hurting.

I got up from the floor angrily, I was in so much pain and he doesn't even care.

"This is my personal space, I don't want to see you here!" He said with a hoarse voice.

"Do you hate me that much?, You should have called off the wedding, I bet you don't have the balls to do that" I said in defiance, I was so angry and didn't know when those words slipped out of my mouth.

"What did you say?" His voice thundered as he pressed me hardly against the wall.

"One more word from you and I will punish you severely"

"Let....me..go" I managed to say but he wasn't ready to do that.

"Do you want to know why I didn't call off the wedding? That's because I figured out that it will be nice to have a pet, someone to do everything I want. You are just a tool and I will get rid of you when I'm done using you. I planned on going easy on you but I won't do that anymore, you shut your mouth and speak only when I want you to" He said angrily before letting go of me.

My eyes were filled with tears as I watch him Walk away, I have never experienced what it feels like to be loved by someone, all I wanted was a peaceful and happy life like every normal person. I didn't sign up for this, my heart was aching and I was feeling so much pain.

At this point I'm happy that Vanessa isn't the one experiencing all of these, I dusted myself and left the library, I wiped the tears in my eyes with the back of my hand. I went to the garden to make a phone call, It's the safest place to talk to my family without anyone disturbing.

I suddenly miss my family and my sister, I called my parents and as usual they don't care about my wellbeing or what I was going through in the hands of my so called husband.

"How's Vanessa's health?" I asked my mom over the phone. I was hoping to get a positive response.

"She's not improving, the doctor is making arrangements to transfer her to another hospital" My mom replied, from her voice, I could tell she was so sad.

My heart shattered and now it was clear to me that my sister might not make it out alive and even if she does, she won't be the same.

"Who's Vanessa?" A voice asked and that was when I turned towards the direction of the voice and I was scared by who I saw standing at my back.

"Fiona!!!!" I gasped in fear.
