Elsa's POV
The pack guard dragged me along with them to an unknown destination and I tried hard to break free from their strong grip but they held my hands so tightly that my skin could hardly breathe.
"Leave me alone you monsters and go find someone else your match," I growled at them but they only shot deadly glares at me but they would not listen to a single word that I was saying.
They drew me back to the city and when I realized where they were taking me, my heart was broken. I was going to be returned to that Cruel beast of a master.
"Here she is." They threw me down before my master.
"Thank you very much," he appreciated and threw a bag of coins at them.
"What do you want from me you beast? You already rejected me so why don't you leave me and let me live my life?" I shot a glare at him already getting tired of the way he was always treating me like some piece of thrash.
"And is that a way to talk to your mate?" He shot an evil smile at me and tried to caress my hair with his hands but I pushed him back immediately and growled at him looking deep into those evil eyes.
"Get those filthy hands off me, You can never be my mate, you rejected me first and I am rejecting you too," I growled at him with every trace of hate and disgust in my voice.
"But you still owe me a large amount of money, fool." He announced it to me and I brought out the large sum of money that had been given to me by the stranger and handed it over to him angrily.
"That's your pay," I growled at him and turned to leave but he held me back. "This is only half of what you owe me. For running away, the money is doubled and you know that is the pack rule. You may leave anyway but also remember that the punishment is death." He whispered into my ears, making me shiver hard with fear.
I was confused and fresh tears poured down from my eyes, I was going to be with this evil man Forever.
Gulther intensified the work I was given and his hate for me increased as the day went by. I mopped the floor until my back and my body ached and the worst happened to me when I woke up one morning with the hard truth, I was pregnant with the child of that stranger that had one night with me that night.
I went to the physician immediately to confirm and lied to Arthur that I was feeling sick.
"What!!" I exclaimed to the physician. Immediately, the physician broke the sad news to me. I felt broken and I walked home with tears gradually dropping down my eyes.
"Why is my life so miserable?" I thought as fresh tears poured down from my eyes.
Immediately I got home, he was already waiting for me and he shot a deadly sneer at me.
"And where have you been?" He shot a deadly sneer at me. "We will soon be late." He returned.
"Late for what?" I returned with a stutter.
"For the brothel dance, you fool. They are searching for young wolfless and rejected she-wolves to dance for them and the pay is really attractive and you meet all these requirements." He noted but his words only made my face twist with hate and anger.
"I am going nowhere." I spat on the floor with hate and anger in my voice.
"You are not doing what? Do you ever wait to be free and I will get the palace guards to make a hell out of your life so you better start obeying me." He shot a glare at me as tears formed in the thin corner of my eyes.
And there was nothing I could do, I would just have to do as he had said.
Arthur's POVI sat in my inner court like someone stripped of life. Being the king and full ruler of the central city wasn't an easy task.
The door cracked open and a maid walked in and bowed down before me.
"And what do you want?" I inquired with a frown hanging on my face.
"The diviner wishes to see you." The servant noted already shivering with fear and cold shivers running down her eyes because I could execute anybody in my angry state, that was how I executed my mother.
I didn't regret any of it.
"Let him in," I said to her. A few minutes later, the diviner walked into the palace and stared into my eyes.
"What do you want again? Spill another bad news? I can never have an heir so what could be worse?" I thundered angrily at the diviner who just stood before me without spilling out a single word.
"I came here with good news." The diviner returned to me, making me get up from my throne and walk towards him with my hope risen.
"And how is that possible?" I inquired. "Because the last time you came here, you noted that none of my wives will give birth to the heir." I reminded him with a thick frown hanging on my face.
"Yes. And that still stands. Only a girl named Elsa, the daughter of the former Alpha of this pack can give you an heir." The diviner informed me and my face twisted with hate and anger immediately.
"That stinky girl? That everyone. in the pack detests. And she doesn't even have a wolf talk less of a mate." I complained, annoyed that she was going to be the one with my heir.
"That is the only way you can get an heir. Find her as soon as possible." He said to me and walked out of the palace.
I thought about it for some time. I felt reluctant but I would have to do as the diviner had said and start searching for the girl immediately.
I got some of the pack warriors and they got into the carriage and began to trace her at every single house and every single door gradually and steadily.
I was told that she had been taken to the ball to dance with some men.
I got to the place as fast as I could and found her standing on the stage while the men kept on yelling. "Dance, dance, dance." But she refused to move even an inch.
A man moved closer to her and slapped her head on the face whispering some words into her and then I noticed that she was already shivering with fear.
I had sympathy for her and decided to face-slap everyone that had been rude and cruel to her.
"Stop right there!" I yelled at the top of his voice making everyone in the hall turn around to him swiftly, their faces parted in awe and their jaws dropped seeing who it was.
ELSA'S POVBy the time it was evening, I was sickly tired waiting for Arthur to show up. He had boldly asked me not to come, that I should enjoy my day but if I was honest, I swear that I had done anything but enjoy today. Be anxious? sure. Get mad? Definitely. Shiver? Hmm-mm. Get happy a tad? Sure again. I had rocked and rocked and rocked, getting so tired of waiting that evening. I was about to go west my fancy jacket and go have this uncertain conversation with him that is scary with him when the door knob turned and I froze. Arthur came in and to my pleasure and displeasure, he wore a giant smile on his face probably happy that he could finally see me, honestly after my mini-investigation in the semi-afternoon, I was not so sure anymore."Hey, well... Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. A kiss?" He asked, walking towards me in such a hurry, you might mistake me for the breath of life. He looked so good and I knew I could get easily distracted by that but I chose not to. I rose a han
ELSA'S POVOur wedding night had not been what I thought it was going to be. It was everything I imagined and more and the fact that I did not get any sleep was pleasing instead of stressful. When I opened my eyes the next morning, I could not find Arthur, I sat up, rubbing my eyes from the pleasing exhaustion at the same time. I looked around and if I was being honest just as I felt different, in a good way, the room looked different too. So different and good too. I flashed a smile to myself as I thought that of course it would look different because I was not in my room, I was in Arthur's room or if I was being accurate, I would say my room. I got up from the bed and walked swiftly to the mirror, naked. I looked at myself in the mirror and not only did I feel different, I looked different. There were hickeys on my neck and ear, it was certainly an interesting look. I wore the robe I found on Arthur's side of the bed, which was made and a white card that had little hearts on it. I
ELSA'S POVThe big wedding was in motion. I mean the planning was in motion but it was the same thing. Most people were so surprised when Arthur gave the announcement that day. Shocked to the brim and beyond while some smiled and nodded their approval. The rest just glared at me as though they would have loved to stab me with a knife if it was allowed. Shreds. And I did not even blame them, I was still surprised myself. I was so excited just as I was anxious. I still had a baby growing in me and I did not know the father and I was freaking out. I could scratch my own eyes out. Just as the wedding planning was in set, so was my running away planning. I needed to flee with my head still intact."What are doing in here staring at the wall?" I turned and saw Nia standing at the door with an amused look on her face. I flashed her a smile and shook my head slowly, thinking of what to say. "Arthur has been smiling since yesterday, I am so surprised that his jaw is not been hurting yet." She
ELSA'S POVI had no idea that there was a cabin back here. When Emily directed me here it was like she had been blabbing. I had walked this whole place and this was the first time I was seeing this place. I guess the structure of the house was weird. I stood in front of the 'invisible' cabin and searched for the most important words at that moment. I knew the words I wanted to say were that I loved him so much, that l was willing to put away the paralysis of fear that held me down, and that I wanted to be his wife. That I was going to be his wife. That was the most important one. I took three bold and quiet steps up the small stair that had its wood painted red. Nice.My stomach rumbled in fear and my heart thudded against my chest. I raised my hands to knock and surprisingly on the first attempt it landed on the door with a very faint thud, produ
NIA'S POV"I wanted it to be a surprise for you. But I just needed something to give me an edge and make you listen to me. I love you and if staying here will make you believe it then I'm staying here and I'm not leaving. But that depends on what you think of it all. I need to be sure that you are comfortable with it. I don't want to shove anything down your throat and force you to want this just because I do. Do you understand?" He asked and I nodded. A big smile on my face."Woah. I love how you put things and I love that you are doing this for me. You have no idea how much it means to me, Silas. I have never been in love and most importantly I have never had someone love me to the extent of wanting to make a big change as big as what you just announced to make me happy. And I love you too. So much." I said and he closed his eyes for a moment, s
NIA'S POVThere he was. Silas, sat at the edge of the large rock everyone seemed to like. I smiled lightly at the cliche of happy things. I had searched everywhere for him, now that I think about it, why did I not search for him here before going to their tent area? Silly of me.I walked further into the space and I saw a striking blonde woman, who if I was being honest, I had nothing on. Why was Silas talking to this woman out here in the love garden? And why was I suddenly comparing this woman whom I did not know to myself? Insecurities were never a friend. Silas turned to look at them and immediately stood up, putting a clever distance between the both of them as if they were close. They were not. So why was he tripping?"Hey! Um... Hi." He said, grasping for words to say. I gave him a tight-lipped smile and nodded to tell him that I had heard the first greeting and he did not need to repeat it."Hi, if you have a company that would stay long then maybe I should come back, I was th
