My heart sunk hearing those words and I couldn’t help but stare in shock.“That would not happen!” Ethan argued but they seemed to have made up their minds.“Unless there’s a way to prove that she’s not a threat and also that she's capable of being our Luna, we are sorry but we would allow you to get married to her”“You think she isn’t capable? I can tell that your aging is slowly making you blind in perceiving your judgment lately and I would not condone such under my reign.” Ethan threatened.The elders seem to be taken aback by Ethan's reply as their surprised faces were soon replaced by a frown creasing their wrinkled foreheads.“ You see, why we need to look into this matter? Our alpha has never looked down on us or questioned our judgment till you came around, one elder said, narrowing his eyes at me as if looking into my soul. I couldn't help but feel belittled under his scrutiny.“To the point of calling us blind in perceiving our judgment?”Another elder interjected, shaking
Just then the door flunged open and Mila walked in with a blank expression on her face. From the look on Talia's face, she didn’t seem too pleased to see her.“What the hell are you doing here? Trying to cause even more damage?” She shot her an angry glare but as usual, she didn’t seem moved by her words and made her way towards me.“Why don’t we make a deal?” She proposed but I was not at all interested in anything she had to say. She seemed to act rashly. Not caring about her attitude was affecting others.“I’m not interested in whatever proposal it is that you have so leave!” I snapped at her, I was trying to ease my mind and here she was trying to throw more salt into my injury.“You heard her right? Such a bummer no wonder you’re still single.” Talia shot at her as she folded her hand on her chest.“Speak to me that way and I’ll make you regret coming here.” Mila threatened her but Talia didn’t seem to be at all scared of her words and chuckled.“You know I do love dramas especi
Isabella’s povWe were finally at the restaurant and were getting something to eat while sitting on our earlier reserved tab.“So tell me what you meant earlier,” I asked curiously while sipping my juice.“What?” She asked innocently while gazing at me with wide eyes.“You said something about Ethan choosing me over someone else… Who is this person?” I arched my brows already knowing who she was referring to but I only wanted to move the conversation that could become stagnant and awkward at any moment.“Oh she’s no one special, we had only met once, and believe me when I tell you she’s an actual pain in the ass you didn’t even want to deal with.” She rolled her eyes, seeming to recall their encounters and frowned. “Her name should be Elena.”“Oh,” I mumbled, nodding my head slowly as though I had interest in whatever she was saying.“Well then let’s not kill the vibe talking about that whore and focus on you.” Her eyes brightened in ecstasy as she gazed at me wanting me to say someth
Isabella’s povThe day of the judgment hearing had finally arrived, no doubt that I was nervous but at the same time ready for whatever might come my way.“Are you ready?” Ethan asked stand-off behind me, I was startled but immediately became at ease seeing he was the one.“I guess so.” I nod, staring at the door of the courtroom.“Be rest assured that I will handle this.” He assured me before walking inside with me tailing behind him closely. The room was quite large and we sat in the front at a high table where the elders whom I had seen earlier seated and chatting amongst themselves before keeping silent upon the sight of us.“It appears you have no respect for me, unlike the way I treat you.” He spat, making the air tense as they stared awkwardly at each other. “I would grant you an audience anyway since I agreed to it in the first place.”I couldn’t understand why he had suddenly changed, the air was tense and I could feel the dark aura surrounding and in some way repelling me, I
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Ethan snarled at the old man who was visibly trembling and pointing with Mila.“She’s the one at fault here! She had threatened to kill my family and I had no other option than to listen to her.” Ethan slowly turned his gaze to his sister who was stunned and her eyes wide open.“You believe that idiot?” She laughed nervously. “If anything I am a very honest person.” She claimed.“Honest? From the way I see things, you were so keen on sending me away that you must have threatened him to ensure that happened.” I smirked at her.“You know nothing so you will-““Silence!” Ethan’s voice erupted in the room and everyone froze in fear, a chill ran down my spine as he drew a frustrated breath. “It seems I’ve been quite lenient with you all and you think you can do whatever you please? From today henceforth there shall be no court and I shall be the one to judge whatever the case might be.”“Nonsense! This court has been existing since the days of our great g
Ethan and I found our way to the stage causing everyone to remain silent and focus their on us, seeing this many people I was no doubt nervous because I did not love crowded spaces, although while I was with Logan we had gone to several gatherings just so I could be by his side but most times I preferred to stay in a corner.My palms were sweating as I clasped them together holding a beautiful smile on my face as my stomach churned in excitement, making it almost hard for me to keep my composure.“Thank you all for gathering with me on this special day as I present to you my Luna.” He smiled as we both exchanged glances, his words were too plain and I expected him to say more to sound even more convincing to these people who had also witnessed the ugly scene the previous day.An applause resounded in the room as everyone cheered happily. “Let's toast to the woman I love.” He mouthed forcefully as I tried to hold back my laughter because this was quite awkward and funny at the same tim
I batted my eyelids trying to process what he had just said.“Is that really necessary?” I was taken aback and wanted to confirm what I had just heard.“That’s the rules, every newly weds need to spend their time together, it’s quite important on the first night of marriage.” Brian explained with a straight face, from what I have noticed he didn’t seem like one to smile that often, looking at the lady beside him I spotted a ring on her finger and figured she could be his mate, I wonder how she put up with him and his sullen mood.From the look on Ethan's face, I noticed he didn't seem pleased with the idea either but kept quiet not to raise suspicion.“ There was no way I would sleep in the same room as him because of a so-called wedding rite, I didn’t care about that. I was tired and needed to rest, the event had lasted for hours and I wanted nothing more than to sleep in a comfortable bed and rest.“Wouldn’t you want to spend some lovey-dicey time with him, you know you two have to
Isabelle's POV I immediately pulled away from him covering myself while glaring at him. “What do you think you’re doing?” I glared at him feigning as though I didn’t know what had just happened I wasn’t going to own up to it so that he wouldn’t have cause to blame me. “What I’m doing? You were the one who just tried to take advantage of me… pervert.” He laughed at me and a sense of dread consumed me almost immediately. “I only slipped!” I sighed in frustration glaring at him. “You grabbed my arm!” He chuckled. Hmmm “Because… I needed support!” I argued. “Just get out already or I’ll be the one to leave.” I threatened not wanting him to tease me more, he was making a joke of her and she couldn’t condone it. “Are you sleeping on the couch or not?” I questioned. “The bed is quite big and we could put more sheets to demarcate it so no one touched the other.” He offered but there was no way I was golfing to agree to that. “No way.” I huffed, gripping onto the sheets as I gazed at
