Chapter 1

"HAZEL!!!!" The shouting of my mom downstairs startles me out of my reading journey, leading to my ever-so-favourite Pride and Prejudice drop on the wooden floor. It is the third time I am reading this book and Jane Austen has never grown old. How amazing it was to live through people's hearts even when you had been buried in your coffin a long time ago? The door slams open and in comes my mom with blazing blue eyes that can scare away dinosaurs if they existed in the twenty first century. "I have been calling you for so long! Do you plan to stay unmarried until my hair turns grey!" Mom shouts, her chest rising and falling in a struggle for air. And maybe more words for her 'irresponsible daughter'. I sigh. "Yeah mom, I heard. But I was busy." I defend myself only to regret later as my mom's sharp gaze finds the book lying on the floor. She picks it up and flips

CHAPTER 2

The Marriage Trials/Pixie

The Shopping was finally over and I took a sigh of relief. Buying clothes or searching for some dress isn't my type of thing. "Why are you standing here? Let's go. Here take these." Lisa hands me her ten shopping bags over my one and I have a hard time holding onto all of them. Mom had given Lisa all the money to decide the dress for both of us. So Miss Generous was generous enough to get me one cheap evening gown. And she got herself the costliest one with a lot of accessories. Nothing is too much for her. "Come on you slut! I'm getting late! I have my parlour appointment." Lisa shouts from the outside. I slowly take a step, the bunch of bags almost covering my sight. One or two bags keep falling from my hands and I pick them up and stack them back again. After a few minutes, I finally get to see the sunlight and put the bags inside the car. "Get in." Lisa says

Chapter 3

The Marriage Trials/Pixie

My breath hitches at my throat and sweat trickles down my forehead. The pair of crystal green eyes owned by a tall, unrealistically gorgeous man stand a few feet away from me, scrutinizing me like I'm a prey. I know that look very well. He is not here to just say 'hi' to me or have cup of coffee. He wants something from me. I hope it's in the goodwill of both of us. "Your name?" He speaks out,his loud and dominating voice making me tremble in fear. I open my mouth to speak but nothing comes out except air. The man's eyebrows furrow and he growls. Feeling his annoyance I start to form out the letters. "H-hazel." "Hazel." He whispers the name, his eyes lost in thought. "Hazel, you are a human." He states the obvious, his broad chest deeply contracting and expanding. It tells me that he is not very pleased with having a human mate. I gulp in the lump in my throat and nod my head. "Come with me." He walk

Chapter 4

The Marriage Trials/Pixie

The entire crowd of people standing in front of us gape at him and then at me. As if they saw E.T. in real life. Yes, I saw the movie. But whatever their state, I can bet mine is worse. I can't believe that out of thousands of werewolves I came across Xavier Ash has to be the person I have to seduce for my survival. This means only one thing. I'm screwed forever. "Sir, I am so glad you could finally honour us with your presence." The tuxedo man whose height and stature appears much smaller than the King Alpha standing beside me. Oh God! What have I gotten myself into? "Hmm. Prepare the stage. I have an announcement to make." The Alpha commands and then looks down at my petite,humbly discomfortable self. "Come with me." I silently follow him behind as he struts towards the raised platform that lies on the eastern wing of the Acadia. The corners of the stage are decorated with silk red curta

Chapter 5

The Marriage Trials/Pixie

"What did you do?" Lisa asks as she kicks the chair away, showing her devil mode in the fullest form possible. I wonder why Mom and dad never put her in control. If I was the one doing it, I would be living on the road. But then again, that is the thing. They love her as their only child and hate me as the only burden in the family. "I promise you Lisa, it was nothing. He came up to me himse—" my voice cuts off under Lisa's hold on my dress. She starts tearing Mariam's hard work apart in a second, her sharp nails digging into my skin. Tears swell up my eyes. "Where? Where is it? Did you let him fuck you in this dress?" She sniffs my body and keeps doing it, her claws digging into the skin of my arms. "Lisa, please. It's hurting." My tears start sliding down my eyes and soak my cheeks. "Where is it? His mark on you!" She keeps looking but after finding nothing, gives up

Chapter 6

The Marriage Trials/Pixie

There is a knock at the front door of the house and it shakes up the core within me. Dad walks ahead and gestures to me to behave properly in front of the King Alpha. I straighten my dress and my hair. Mom did not put any effort in my look because as per her plan,I am supposed to look ugly in comparison to Lisa who is all dolled up to steal hearts. I just hope the guys understand that it is all exterior. I never understood why men go for external looks when after a certain time it all becomes common. The books I read spoke about the love that emerged from knowing the soul of a person. How they actually are from within and not from their looks. I wonder what changed. The door opens and two large, black suit wearing men stand on the porch with their ramrod straight backs and proud uplifted heads. They are certainly werewolves who work under the King Alpha. The air of royalty they radiate from just being working under him makes it obvious what a high position

Chapter 7

Calm green eyes stare at me as he steps inside,his well built,large body radiating dominance. I feel like sitting up straight in my seat and then the need of standing to give him respect. And I do so. He waves his hand. "No need. Sit down." He orders and I do so, again. It is as if I walk on his command. Though considering my history, I have been working on pretty much everyone's command. Who really cares what I want to do? He strides towards me and stands tall above, making my small figure look up at him, literally craning my neck. "I hope you understand that this place is only temporary. Do not get used to it." He says in his loud voice, making me shiver. I believe this is the type of power the King Alpha should hold in his voice or else no one would obey him. "Yes, King Alpha." I say, more loudly than required. "No need to call me that. When it comes to addressing me, you use Sire when nobody is around. And when people are aro

Chapter 8

The Marriage Trials/Pixie

After eating the full plate of pasta that tastes like heaven, I lay down on the cloud that is called a bed. My eyelids feel heavy and the designed ceiling on top of me starts to get hazy with each second. And before my consciousness can warm me, darkness evades everything. But not before seeing the reflection of a very handsome face with dazzling green eyes. I could never tell that King Alpha is so good looking. A thud wakes me up from my sleep and I sit straight on the bed, finding myself in the exact condition from where I left. I didn't even change my clothes. What an idiot! Another knock comes from the door and I call the person to come in. The door opens wide and Olivia walks in with her eyes fixed on the ground. I believe that it is the rule here that royals should not be looked up to by the maids. I was pretty much treated the same way in my house. Calling it my house would be an overstatement. "It's alright. You can look

Chapter 9

The Marriage Trials/Pixie

Olivia fidgets with the fabric of her maid uniform. "I don't know. But from what I can tell, it will be very difficult for you to make your place here. Our Sire is a very complicated man." She inhales sharply and I frown. "Complicated?" Honestly, what I could make out of him from the first day is that he is a very arrogant, cocky person who thinks very highly of himself and little of others. At least that's how he behaved in front of me. "You will learn eventually. You came today, right? Maybe in a few weeks, you will understand what I am saying." Her voice goes deep and I gulp the lump in my throat. This does not sound good at all. "Eh–if you don't mind–umm–may I ask how you met Sire?" "Well, in the Acadia where the mating ball is held." I shrug. Olivia's eyebrows furrow in perplexity. "Okay. But as far as I know Sire, he is a very picky person

Chapter 10

The Marriage Trials/Pixie

"What is that? What way?" I shake Olivia who appears to be in a mode of trance, her eyes fixed ahead of me. She blinks and looks at me with a confused look. "Huh?" "You told me that there is a way. A way for me to not go to the Dark Shadow Society. A way for me to survive." I say, desperation clinging to my voice. I cannot help myself. The moment she said there is a way, it's like I see a small fragment of light in the darkness. Even if it's not the proper escape route, it is something for me. "Oh, yes." She bites her lip. "Sorry, I was just thinking about something. But yes, I know a way but it is also very risky." I hold her palms and look at her with pleading eyes. "Please. Just tell me anyway. Living with the one and only King Alpha is a risk in itself." I mean what I say. That man is extremely scary and I don't know what fate lies ahead of me. And it is hard to believe that tho
