[Dante]I trudged downstairs, my feet heavy with the weight of my own regret. My friends were already gathered in the living room, their faces lit up with smirks and snickers."Hey, Dante! How was your night?" one of them asked, their voice dripping with sarcasm.I knew what they were really asking. They wanted to know about Kali, about how I ended up spending the night with her even though she's the woman I hate the most in the world.I tried to brush it off, to play it cool. "It was fine," I said, trying to sound nonchalant.But they wouldn't let up. "Oh, come on, Dante! Spill the details!" another one chimed in.I felt my face heat up with anger and embarrassment. I didn't want to talk about it, didn't want to relive the humiliation of being seduced and manipulated into marriage. I can't even remember how the night went!"Leave it alone, guys," I growled, trying to shut them down.But they just laughed, their teasing and jokes piercing my skin like knives. I knew they were just tr
[Narration]Kali and Dante sat in the living room several drinks deep into the night. They're both visibly intoxicated, and their conversation has taken a bitter turn."Ugh, you know what I can't stand? You. That's right, I hate you, Kali." Dante said sarcastically "Wow, Dante, that's some deep insight," Kali repliedDante rolls his eyes and downs another shot."I mean it!""God, why are you always such a pain? You're so irritating and stubborn, it's like you're trying to ruin my life. Why do you always come back? Why did you leave the first time? When we were still betrothed. Did you hate me that much?" Dante scoffed."Oh yeah, it's my fault that you're a mess. Please, I've got nothing to do with it. You're just a self-destructive jerk who can't handle his own issues. I'm only here to protect you."Their voices rise as the tension between them builds. Dante leans forward, his face inches from Kali's."You know what?" Dante gritted his teeth.Kali felt Dante's breath hot against her
[Dante]I tugged hard at my hair hoping what I saw was a dream and not reality. How many drinks must I have had to do that with Kali of all people? I has truly defiled Kali and had no choice than to marry her. I would only marry her for that reason and nothing else. I would never treat her like a wife nor would I recognize her as the Luna of my pack.__________It was morning and I couldn't bear to watch Kali walk down the aisle. It made my eyes twitch. I had wanted to show up in a jean trouser and shirt but Daniel had forced me to wear a suit. I just wanted to get it over with.“Do you Kali Greenwood take Dante Dalton to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, till death do you part?” The priest asked.“I do.” she answered sharply."Golddigger." I mumbled.“Do you Dante Dalton take Kali Greenwood to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health, in poverty and wealth, till deat
[Selene/Kali]I sighed, feeling a pang of regret as I gazed at Dante's yelling at me. It had just been a day since their wedding and he was already yelling at her like that. I knew I was the one who had initiated the drinking that fateful night, the night that had led to our hasty marriage. Now, I couldn't help but wonder if I had made a mistake."Why did I push him to keep drinking?" I thought to myself, my mind racing with self-doubt. "Why did I think it was a good idea to spend the night with him?"My thoughts swirled with remorse as I recalled the events that had transpired. I had been the one to suggest we drink and I only did that to gain the courage to tell him I wasn't Kali but Selene, the protector of the golden bloodline and his protector. And now, here they were, married and barely speaking.I took a deep breath and decided to take action. I couldn't just sit around feeling sorry for myself anymore. I need to make things right with Dante and be close to him. I packed a l
***Dante's POV***"Mr Johnson is here sir. I saw him downstairs." Daniel rushed in, breaking the news to me.Mr Johnson is the CEO of Johnson Group of companies and I've always wanted to work with him."Where?" I asked."He's with Kali. Seems they know each other. This would be good for us, maybe she'll help us convince him." He informed.I've always known Kali to be a whore but doing this at my office with someone I've been trying to work with for years is annoying."Where are they?" I smirked."The parking lot." "Great." I rolled my eyes as I dashed out of my office.Knowing the kind of woman Kali was, she could be doing anything with him by now. I got there and she was talking to him while he laughed at whatever joke she made.My voice cut through the air, laced with venom."Well, well, well. Look what we have here. My little wife, with another man."She turned to see my eyes blazing with anger, my face twisted in a snarl. Mr Johnson's eyes narrowed, his expression unreadable."D
[Selene/Kali]I stood outside the office building, my heart racing with anticipation. I had been waiting for this meeting with Alpha Jareth for what felt like an eternity. My mind was a jumble of questions and doubts, but I pushed them aside and took a deep breath.I had to do this. I had to know the truth. I stole his number from Dante's phone just to schedule a meeting with him.I pushed open the door and stepped inside, my eyes adjusting to the dim lighting. The receptionist looked up from her desk and smiled."Mrs Kali Dalton, right on time. Mr. Johnson is waiting for you."I nodded, my mouth dry. I followed her to a large wooden door, which she opened with a flourish."Mr. Johnson," she announced, "Mrs Dalton is here to see you."I stepped inside, my eyes fixed on the figure behind the desk. Alpha Jareth looked up, his eyes piercing."Ah, Selene. Thank you for coming. Please, take a seat."I sat down, my hands clenched in my lap. What was I going to learn?"Mr. Johnson, I mean Al
[Dante's POV] I was sitting in the living room, scrolling through my phone, when the front door burst open and Kali stormed in, her eyes blazing with anger. She slammed the door shut behind her, making me jump. "Where are you coming from?" I asked, anger etched on my face. Kali's eyes narrowed, her chest heaving with agitation. "It's none of your business." she spat, her voice venomous. I raised an eyebrow, surprised. "What's your problem Kali? What do you want? Why are you so adamant on ruining me?" Kali's gaze flashed with irritation. "What do you mean? Please Dante, I have no time for this. Just let me be." I held up my hands, placating. "I know where you're coming from." My expression changed from irritation to anger as I furrowed my brows. "Wait, Kali. You're coming from Mr. Johnson's house, aren't you?" I accused, my voice was low and even. Kali's eyes faltered, and she took a step back, her face pale. "Dante, I can explain-" But I cut her off, my anger boiling
***Selene*** I'm Selene and I've been cursed to protect the golden bloodline all my life. It was not an easy task as I had to fight off almost all the werewolves in the world to protect it. Our family has been cursed to be the protector of the golden bloodline and to also protect the person whom it chooses. It has been passed from one generation to another and it's my turn. It is a blessing and also a curse. I'm twenty-four years and I'm around 5ft tall. My tan skin complements my brown hair. My hazel eyes and my pointed nose accompanied by my pink plump lips made me very attractive but who wants to marry a cursed wolf? A protector of a golden bloodline who would follow an Alpha all her life? Nothing must happen to the golden bloodline, I'll protect it with my life if I have to. My life is connected with it. Walking down the bushy path slowly so as not to make some noise with Alpha Jareth I heard some horses approaching and I knew they were the ones after us. The Alpha who now has

[Selene/Kali] My mother took another glance at me with a stern expression. "Kali, don't you want to get dressed? Do you still want to continue from where you stopped?" "Mother, it's not what you think. I don't know how this happened. I don't want to get married either." I said. My voice was barely above a whisper. She looked at me sternly. "You had your chance to choose when you went to the Alpha's bed. Now, you must face the consequences. Go, get dressed. I'll be waiting outside." With that, she turned and left the room, I took a deep breath, my heart heavy with the weight of my situation. Alpha Dante clapped his hands together, the sound echoing through the room. "Ah, Kali, you've finally gotten what you wanted," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "You've manipulated me into a marriage I don't want and tarnished my image in front of the pack. Congratulations." He stood up from the bed, his eyes blazing with anger. "You've played a clever game, Kali. But know this
[Selene/Kali]I didn't know what to do. I knocked several times but he wouldn't let me into the building. I was tired and frustrated."Sir, please. I'll be careful next time." I begged for the nth time and I didn't get a response.I decided to go home so I could tell my mom. That's the only way I could get my job back and do it perfectly.I rushed home immediately and I got the reaction I expected."Why are you home by this time? What's wrong?" She asked."Alpha Dante sent me out of his office." I pouted."What did you do this time? Kali, you promised you'd be on your best behavior today." She asked."I'm sorry Mom. I made a little mistake and now he doesn't want to see me again." I explained and she shook her head at me."What do you want me to do? I can't keep asking him for favors." She said as she walked into the kitchen.I stood in the dimly lit kitchen, my heart racing as I watched my mom's eyes well up with tears. The few days I got to know her made me like her the more and wis
