Father Gossep's Wish
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Awestrucked, I couldn’t even move when the man was just a closer distance to me. His hand gripped mine as I tried to absorb his words.
Mate? Bearing his child? Me?
“How could that be?” Father Gossep intervened. “We, the Hatiists, have been shunned in the eyes of the Moon goddess! Only those who had left the church can find their mates,” he said as he glanced in my direction. “Rosaria continued serving the church therefore, she isn’t supposed to receive her mate!”
“But not ordained, I assumed?”
Father was ready to refute but stopped as the thoughts started to sink in.
“N-No, n-not yet…”
His hand hadn't released mine. A large, firm hand that could easily break mine like a piece of wood, and I…all I ever wanted was to get away from him.
“I d-don’t understand.” After recovering from my shock I stared him in the eye. “I am going to be ordained tonight. I am going to be an official nun and y-yet, the moon goddess suddenly deemed me as your mate?”
“But you are not an official of this…” His expression darkened. “...this abomination you cultists called a church.”
That struck me as my brows furrowed. I abruptly pulled my hand from his while he wasn’t using his brute strength as I tried to compose myself. “Perhaps the seer misunderstood, my lord. Clearly, you are aware that you and I have different views.”
The mating system chosen by the moon goddess is often accurate in terms of compatibility. Why would she have chosen me, a Hatiist believer, to be the Alpha leader’s mate?
Varick, who detested the Hatiist teachings since day one?
“Are you saying that you defy the moon goddess’s judgment?”
“No! Of course not!” I shook my head. “It’s j-just that, I was stating it logically that I—”
The Alpha Leader gave a loud scoff and I flinched. He gave me the “look” that frightened me to the core.
He didn’t say anything as his eyes scanned until they stopped what was behind us.
He walked passed by until he was in front of the image of Hati.
Usually, the ones who entered looked at his image with high regard…
...but he showed an expression of disgust.“I see that you still have the picture of the devil,” he growled as he continued to glare daggers at the painting.
“This is just a guise to fool all of you to think that he had saved us all.”
With those words, I was about to snap, but a hand was placed on my shoulder and my fierce expression softened as Father Gossep reassured me with a smile.
Then, he turned his attention to the Alpha Leader.
“I understand your anger and the survival of our pack relies on your raw strength and leadership. You have seen more things—questionable things, even at your age than I could imagine. And now this is an opportunity for me to give my gratitude for protecting our pack, Alpha Leader.”
“If you do this to flatter me, it is futile, priest,” he said. And for the first time I’d seen him in this room, his lips curved into a wide grin.
A grin while his onyx blue eyes flickered bright and his disheveled dark hair made my hair strands stand.
I had never seen a face of a devil.
“I’d rather see you grovel while licking the dark blood stains of my foot.”
This made Anette cry. “Our king, how could you say that to our—”
“Sister Anette, please!” Father Gossep cut her off. I have never heard him raise his tone like that.
“Lord Varick, if it means to keep you happy and change your mind, so be it.” And without any hesitation, Father dropped to his knees as he reached for the leader’s sollerets.
“Father!” I gasped, rushing to his aid, and kneeled on the ground next to him. “Please, if anything! I should be the one to do it!”
“No, Rosaria! His resentment is directed at me!” He exclaimed and I recoiled back.
“I didn’t expect you to stoop so low, Wise Gossep.” Without warning, Lord Varick raised his leg and stomped on Father’s back, pushing him onto the floor.
The strength he pulled made Father spit out saliva as he started coughing.
“FATHER!” I shrieked. Anette stood there, mortified as she covered her scream.
I kneeled before Varick. “Please, my lord! Don’t hurt our priest!” Tears kept falling from my eyes as I wailed.
His icy, cold cobalt blue eyes darted in my direction but he didn’t say a word before releasing his leg.
“My father didn’t destroy this church because you were friends with my grandfather. So we allowed this wasted space for all of you.” He kneeled down and grabbed his hair and pulled him up.
“But now, your ungrateful self won’t dare provide us any in return?”
Flinching from the pain, Father Gossep pleaded. “I’ll do anything for Rosaria’s happiness. Please don’t take it away from her.”
“I’m in a foul mood.” He threw Father aside and he fell on the floor. Sister Anette shrieked as she aided next to Father. She pulled him up as he groaned in pain.
My eyes widened, tears streaming endlessly as I was stricken with grief. I didn’t get the chance to speak as my guimpe was forcibly pulled, dragging me off my knees.
At that moment when I was in the air, mortified as the lord I now deemed a monster continued to glare at me. His grip tightened so I won’t fall down and I wouldn’t dare to resist as I finally witnessed his brute strength.
“Church maid, I will give you a choice. Continue with your laughable church, be content living the rest of your life with your followers… but we would burn this place down and all of you shall be exiled away from the pack.”
My eyes widened. No, he wouldn’t DARE such a thing! Deeming us rogues would put us more in danger for other packs to slaughter us at sight!
“Or be my mate, just bear me a child, inheriting my lineage and your church is free to stay.”
He lowered his arm, finally placing me back on my floor like a marionette without resistance, and released me.
“You have to answer now.”

“I…” Rationality had left my system as I tried to convey my thoughts. Earlier, we were just chatting idly about my future as a nun. And this…this happened.“How could you give her THAT choice, Lord Varick!” Father Gossep bellowed as he held firmly the stinging pain of his waist. He stood up, ignoring the worrisome look of Sister Anette. “I am the one you should despise! Rosaria’s whole life is in the church!”“Time’s ticking, church maid.” He coerced with gritted teeth, my Father’s words were now in deaf ears. “I don’t have time.” “I…” Tears continued to fall and I looked down, biting my lower lip. I should be a nun by now. But h-he arrived to take it away. Why now? Why did it have to happen before my ordination?!“LORD VARICK!” The voice that once sounded like Father Gossep changed into a monstrous seething growl. A large white wolf, thrice as big as most werewolves in the pack, pounced straight to the alpha leader in a blink of an eye. It growled as its large nails pierced all
The Alpha's Bridal Nun A Month Of Solace For The Scarred Luna
It had been a month since my marriage and my husband hadn’t returned from the war. From what I had heard from my now habit of eavesdropping, especially from gossipy women on the streets and the maids who didn't notice my presence lurking by, our pack had been outnumbered by the enemy and their so-called “alliance”. “They brought the Elves to slaughter the Alpha Leader! The messenger had stopped coming back here since that announcement,” one of the vendors exclaimed to her friend as I passed by their direction. “Who knows if the Alpha Leader has already perished!” Another voice, was it Ella, the florist? “If we lose our alpha leader, what will happen to this pack? For he still didn’t have any offspring to take over his position?” “If the Alpha Leader dies, I sure hope he had impregnated that cultist whore!” It was loud enough for everyone to hear. It seemed they had noticed me passing by. I turned to them and gave them a small, awkward smile. Despite their cries of mockery, I pain
The Alpha's Bridal Nun His Return
My eyes widened at Alpha Leader, Varick, in the flesh and not another case of hallucination. I felt my throat dry, my heart raced faster than normal as I started to experience another dose of an incoming attack.‘Deep breath, deep breath… you knew he would be coming back soon.’ I glanced at him carefully. Dark hair grew longer, unwashed and scruffy from the lack of care. He fashioned a beard, unsurprisingly untamed and his dark gray eyes observed the area. He was wearing his signature armor and it was more worn than it used to be. Once again, he was tainted by vermillion blood.Blood of the other wolves he had slain while he was away.His eyebrows furrowed, seeing my lack of response ticked him off as he tightened his grip, bringing me back to my senses.It stung. The grip made me flinch as I tried to wiggle my hand away from his tight lock.“I hate repeating myself. Why are you here?”“I…” I should think quickly or else I would only rouse his anger. My eyes wandered elsewhere, try
The Alpha's Bridal Nun Inner Dark Thoughts
Okay, calm down, Rosaria. It’s impossible for him to die with a shove like mine. He had been through a lot from this endless war and it would be…laughable if he would have died from a measly push from a lower ranking luna. I tried to calm down and now I was eyeing him carefully. I took a deep breath before placing my trembling hand on his wrist, ignoring my hallucinations of the hands around my waists as I tried to check his pulse. It was faintly weak. Weak but not dead! I sighed once more but more relieved than earlier as I tried to decipher what really happened. His face is pale, giving off an impression of a lifeless body that I assumed earlier. And he…wasn’t breathing at all. ‘They brought the Elves to slaughter the Alpha Leader! The messenger had stopped coming back here since that announcement.’ I recalled Naureen mentioning them and a realization came to my mind. Now with his dark gambeson, I muttered an apology and pulled out his heavy garment from his head. I turned re
The Alpha's Bridal Nun Hati, The Sun Wolf Chasing The Moon
A long time ago before wolves ever landed on earth, there was the Moon Goddess, an unknown entity residing on the moon, and her brother, the Sun God. Two mythical wolf gods were formed after Fenrir, the first recorded wolf, left them on Earth. These were moon wolf, Skoll, and sun wolf, Hati. Skoll was attracted to the sun and chased after it whereas Hati, whose motives were unknown till this day, chased after the moon. When Hati finally caught the moon, he swallowed it whole, making the chosen wolves lose their ability to transform. “What?” I interrupted and I gave a skeptical look at the image of Hati. “Why would the sun god do that, Father Gossep?” I was five years old when Father Gossep told me this story. Father Gossep chuckled as he patted my head. “Hati only wanted to cleanse the Moon. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have the moon now if he would have eaten it.” “Why did the sun god need to cleanse the moon?” “Some recorded stories stated that the moon had been corrupted and Hati
The Alpha's Bridal Nun The Monster With An Angelic Face (TRIGGER WARNING NON-CON AND ABUSE)
When I woke up, it was already dark. The discomfort I felt came from the hard concrete floor where my body lay after I fainted, which had brought me back from my sleep. Another was experiencing a different kind of pain, rather it was more of discomfort, that was spent from the magic I used beyond my limit. Oh right, I thought to myself. I turned to see the Alpha leader sleeping on the floor next to me, I should bring him to bed. It was the least I could do after he fought the war for our pack. However, when I tried to lift my body, I couldn’t move. Perhaps this was the consequence of using an advanced spell. It was a miracle that I successfully extracted the poison without fainting midway. I was glad that I secretly practiced the Lycan scrolls during my youth. I sighed as I relaxed on the floor and I felt awkward being next to the man who was responsible for this. Speaking of which, what was that earlier? I was mixed with a lot of emotions that overwhelmed every ounce of logic.
The Alpha's Bridal Nun The Morning After
I continued to sob as I laid in a fetal position on the other side of the bed. I attempted to hide my despair yet my body continued to shake from the feeling of his essence still inside of me. Anger and humiliation only roused these tears as I wiped them, feverishly. A woolen blanket was placed on top of my bare, defiled body and I grimaced. “I don’t need your pity, Lord Varick.” “Ah, so you do have some backbone left. I thought you church maids were like lambs, blind followers of a deceitful shepherd.” I didn’t answer as I was overwhelmed with the tears flowing once more. “Crying is for the weak, what do you gain from it, woman?” “WHOSE FAULT IS IT THAT I FELT LIKE THIS?!” I yelled but the effect only made my swollen cheek hurt. “You cried over a trifle deed,” he says, coldly. “This pain wouldn’t be nothing compared to childbirth.” Words of mockery only sparked more anger as I gritted my teeth. I was certain he had no idea what childbirth felt and he had no right to lect
The Alpha's Bridal Nun Lenalee
“Shall I wash your hair, Lady Rosaria?” Lenalee asked as she caressed the strands of my hair. “Ah, n-no, I can do it my-myself,” I stammered and I quickly pursed my lips before I uttered another humiliating word. She had a look of a small, whimpering dog after my response. “I understand, my lady.” And I felt my heart being torn from seeing her expression. But then again, I allowed her to bathe me and that alone was humiliating enough. Since coming here, I thought I was fine doing what I needed to do as I was capable of cooking and cleaning on my own. The maids were silently glad that they didn’t need to attend to my needs. After all, we the noviates are capable of doing them and independence was one thing we were taught growing up. But now, the Alpha leader sent them home and was replaced by one young maid. I didn’t understand his way of thinking anymore. She used a warm towel to wipe the dampness of my arm. I caught sight of her staring longingly with admiration before she

The Alpha's Bridal Nun Argument
“PHINEAS!”The sound of my voice reached his ears like a thunderclap, making him jump from his seat. The moment I entered his tent, his robes were drenched and stained with red wine. “Have I called you at the most inopportune timing?” I shouldn’t have asked, seeing Phineas in a foul mood, I knew I shouldn’t bother him at this hour. Seeing bottles of alcohol on the table, he had been drinking the entire time. He squeezed the bottom part of his robes while continuing to glare at me.“What?” It must be the alcohol talking but his cheeks were flushed red—but then again, it could be because his anger pointed directly to my direction. “Sorry, Phineas but it would be great if I could speak to you alone. Could we teleport somewhere else?” I whispered as I glanced at the tent outside, hearing the voices of gossiping women and children playing around didn’t give us any privacy at all.He immediately noticed the change of my expression and despite overdosing with alcohol, he recovered to sobr
The Alpha's Bridal Nun A Lucid Dream
It took them months before they took all of their Skollist pack members and hid them all in the large grotto where they knew they were safe. Just as suspected, more of the nuclear bombs dropped from the sky and directly to their vicinity and the area was nothing but a wasteland. Nearby packs and other races had long fled from their homes from the toxic fumes reaching their territory and begged to move across the borders and away from the war. But the Red Moon Pack wouldn’t give a damn. They only wanted what they were meant to do in the first place: To eliminate Skoll’s descendant along with his pack.And so, all hid in the grottos, the swamps and the forests hidden from the human eye. And they feared the worst that the more they threw those “bombs” into their land, the lesser chance of making the area inhabitable. The Skollist wolves had gone defiant that some had gone rogue and begged the wolves across the border to enter—only to reach their demise as they were kil
The Alpha's Bridal Nun Family
"Do you actually believe that elf, my lord?" Perturbed by the events, Herschel asked the second time after they departed. They walked back to the grotto whereas the elf known as Verona embarked a quiet journey back home. "Whether I believed her or not, the fact that the atomic bomb was true. If they strike again, most likely they will strike our kingdom first."And there would be no pack to protect if all failed. "These bombs…even this is beyond my expertise," he murmured, apprehensively. "What must we do to stop the bombs, my lord?""Humans are aware that they do not wish to interfere with magical beings and their affairs. They are supported by the Red Moon Pack. If we kill its Alpha, they have no reason to attack us."For now.“What about this human bard she spoke so highly of? Why did he save us, my lord?”Varick's lips pursed yet his feet didn't stop heading back to the grotto. All of his years, the Alpha of the Skollist pack often speaks with his mind. When he

It had been twenty minutes and there wasn't any progress in healing the mages. Their burns and their exposure to the explosion had been too difficult to heal them, let alone those who were unwilling to be touched by me. In fact, I couldn't as the chemicals and toxic scent might be contagious. So, Phineas and I made a wind barrier to avoid spreading the toxin around the pack. Yet, even so, I had to hurry or else the rest of the soldiers' lives would reach their inevitable end unless I made haste. "Please…let me die…" These agonizing words continued repeating in between their groans. Yet, I continued chanting the Holy Lycan spells, avoiding a single second of distraction as I tried to repair the soft tissues of their burned skin. Yet, fixing a charred skin to its original form would take hours for a single man. I started to doubt I could save them all. 'No, I shouldn't think like this! These men deserved to live!' I thought as a trail of sweat irritated my eye as I continued

The Alpha's Bridal Nun ....
“Phineas, send us there now!” Yet, Phineas stood there, petrified like his eyes stared at the smoke before him. I grabbed his shoulder and violently shook him to regain his senses. “We have no time, Phineas! Varick is—!”“No, we can’t.”At first, his cold voice surprised me before I glared at him. “Why not? We are the healers, aren’t we?!”Phineas turned to glare at me. “Luna, don’t let your emotions sway your decision! You can use your canine senses, right?!”As soon as he mentioned it, I sensed it. The scent was faint yet I could recognize it so well. I didn’t realize the lingering smell of a mixture of decaying bodies and toxins around the area. It made my stomach churned as I knelt on the ground.I rushed to a nearby bush and vomited. I was holding my breath for too long and when I came to my senses, the scent was so agonizing that I knelt down and threw up.“I can’t risk you going there, Luna. You are carrying the heir of the Skollist pack and something tells me coming closer w
The Alpha's Bridal Nun A "Surprise" Attack
Varick clenched his fists as he glowered.Some of his men stepped back as their wolves whimpered.This was supposed to be a surprise attack, yet, why were they the ones surprised.In Varick's mind, someone–within the pack–relayed a message of their incoming strike.It wasn’t common to have his own men betray him in exchange for being spared from death. Yet, none were successful to ever live after the betrayal. "This will be the day we will kill you, Varick!" Cassius, the Alpha of Blue Fangs bellowed. Varick didn't respond as he threw out his sword and shield, making the enemy side "think" he surrendered.No, wolves who personally fought him knew that his armor was more of a disability of his. And now, the Alpha decided to strip himself off his armor, showing his chiseled body with his battle scars.The enemy packs roared in laughter."Surrendering yourself naked? I see the Neanderthal finally learned to give up!" One of the betas commented. Herschel gave a ghost of
The Alpha's Bridal Nun Reaching The Red Moon Pack
They had finally arrived at the gated vicinity of the Red Moon Pack. They camped within the grotto within the waterfall as it was a great place for their hidden base. The pack also removed every trace of their tracks behind. Horses were situated outside the grotto and three of the troops acted as guards and feeders for the stallions. The tents were placed as their temporary residing station.It was at night time when they arrived and they lit a bonfire inside. They made sure the vicinity was being protected by the High Mage's magic barrier to avoid tracing their scent. All men, weary from moving on foot, sat on the ground as they were waiting for the Alpha to make his speech. As they knew this war would be the first they decided to strike. In the past battles, a fight between them and the other packs happened when the outsider decided to strike them first. Now with the successful invasion and the innocent lives died through an unknown cause, in their minds, st
