Matilda POV
In conclusion, I had to leave. No one wanted me and even the person I had hoped to stick with forever betrayed me. I felt the best way to leave and start a new life - if it doesn’t get any worse.I looked at my face through the mirror as the makeup artist applied warm foundations on my face with the mascara brushing my lashes up. I couldn’t understand my feelings, and neither do I know what to say.My parents and everyone in the pack were happy, the deal will be sealed as long as I was given to the king as his gift. I also didn’t struggle with them, like a weak and stupid lady - I sold myself out.Hilda was asked to stay indoors until the whole process was done. As soon as I leave, she could resurface but at the moment she must stay in her room.The veil was covered on my face and I was asked to stand. I couldn’t help but gasp in admiration, I was loving beautiful, and attractive in the breathtaking gown. It wasn’t a regular wedding dress, the design and everything was made in Milan giving it its uniqueness.“You look pretty, Matilda.” Uncle Thomas who has been standing beside me said with his mouth wide open, I blushed.It has been a while since I heard praises from someone, especially in this pack.“I heard the king is here, we have no leave and not keep him waiting,” he informed me and I nodded. I faced the mirror again.I exhaled heavily. I was about to take a bold step and there will be no turning back. I dumped my mate, that would be the whole story because I can't bring myself to accept the reality.I stepped out of the dressing room with Uncle Thomas and a few servants, he led me to the meeting room where everyone was waiting for me.Getting married to him won't be a total disadvantage, at least I will be prestigious and never be mistreated. Whether he loves me or not, I would be the Luna. There was nothing bad with it, I will no longer be under my mother’s armpit whereby she dictates whatever must happen to me. It was as if she held my destiny in her palm.I shook the thought off my head and stared through the veil at the empty throne, my father and mother were standing by the side but the king was nowhere to be found.I stopped a few steps away from the platform, everyone’s eyes were like they would pull out from their socket. They couldn’t stop staring at me which gave me a bit of happiness, I have never felt this way before. Soon, a young man stepped out of the gathering wearing a sweater that covered his hair with his hand tucked in his dirty jean trouser pocket.“I’m Leonard, King Moses Darvon asked that I return with his new wife immediately,” he said making some kind of courteous expression at the calling of the king’s name.My lips paused and I was confused. The room was filled with chatters.“What do you mean?” my father asked.“What do you think?” the man snarled and my father fell silent.He was asked to bring me back to the king’s palace. Him?Looking so haggard and rough. I knew I wasn’t worthy but why should he give me such a reception when he hasn't even seen me before?I was dissatisfied yet I couldn’t air out my opinion. He intentionally made a mockery of me and I couldn’t lift my face from the ground I was staring out.The shame and embarrassment were too much for one soul to take in.“Fine. Here is a message to the king.” my father’s voice came up again, he didn’t sound bothered as Uncle Thomas passed the parcel to the young man.At that point, I looked so pitiful. All my imagination started crashing down at its early stage.Uncle Thomas shook his head sadly, he was also powerless at this stage. No one could stand against the Alpha king.I left my father’s pack in shame, with a broken heart, and in pain. I was feeling awful that I was leaving but I also felt it was the best decision. I wasn’t needed and my absence will be their soothing balm.I was dragged into the enchanting giant mansion of the Alpha king. The appearance of the mansion will definitely cause shivers down everyone’s spine. I wasn’t given the right to walk elegantly or access freedom, the two guards dragged me into the long endless-looking hall as different troupes of servants walked past us and bowed.I have heard of the Alpha’s palace, but I have never visited it before - not even my father.Fear started building in my heart. Was I really fit to be his Luna? My parents intentionally pushed me to my early grave.The wide tall door spread open as we entered the hall. The sunlight flashed from a height touching the golden crown on someone’s head but the face was unclear because of the darkness and I was still far.The room was isolated and quiet, every step we took echoed in the hall.“What is this place..?” I muttered inwardly as my eyes wandered into the empty dazzling hall.“Ouch!” I groaned in pain as the guards pushed me to the floor.Then, I looked up right at the throne. It was one man. One hot Greek god. Looking all majestic. Intimidating aura. Cold expression. Arrogant. Dark hair. Electric blue sharp eyes. Pink matte medium lips. Great physique.This was the king and I was staring at him face-to-face.Why was he being identified as a beast when he was a missing hot devil?“Your Majesty, this is the daughter of Lord Daniel,” he informed him and stepped forward.I knelt like a fowl, waiting to be told what next to do. Fear won't also let me express myself.“My name is….” I thought of introducing myself since the whole situation was awkward.“Wash her off. I will have her tonight.” he interrupted me curtly and stormed out of the hall using the back door.“What?” he was unbelievable, I was still staring at the throne which was now empty in a daze when some servants came in and dragged me out of the hall.“Seriously?” I also couldn’t get provoked.Was this it? Well, if that’s the case then he was a big beast.Matilda's POVThings ran faster than my mind could ever fathom or even catch up with. I was still on the ground when this man whom I was forced to marry walked out without caring to even know what the shape of my face was. What concerned him were just the things which were under the dress and he seemed so fiery to the extent I could tell that his demands were always met by anyone under him.I couldn't help but admit the rumors which were spread about him, around the entire pack. He was a beast, capable of ending lives with just a fierce stare.And as he walked away, I was pulled up from the ground furiously by another man by the arm, dragged out of his perfectly built room towards an unknown location."Hey…" I cried out in pain. It was thought he would rip off the arm from the socket and would leave me without any. Were they all so feisty in this part of the world? From master to slave?Soon he led me towards a room, opening the door and pushing me in as I fell face down to the ground
MATILDA'S POV I was led into another room, this particular room, unlike the one I had been locked in previously, looked even more eloquent, like that of a princess.I thought this was probably befitting of royalty, of the alpha's Luna.Unlike the other room, which had just a worn-out bed that creaked whenever one sat on it, this one looked polished and splendid. It had a queen-sized bed that was covered with a beautiful blanket with colorful decorations.The room itself was painted with two beautiful colors which made it a beauty to behold.Unlike the other room which had a hard cemented floor, this particular room was tiled with a beautiful tile that made the place look like a small heaven.At one corner was a dressing mirror, and in front of it stood a dressing stool and a dressing table.I looked around in awe as soon as we got into the room. Momentarily, I forgot about my predicament, it looked like the beauty of the place had wiped my sorrow for a moment."This way ma'am." One o
MATILDA'S POV Adrenaline rushed through me, and the blood rushed through my veins in such a hurry like they were in a contest on who would arrive at my neck first, to choke me to death.She gave me a small smile and squeezed my hand in hers before she finally walked away, closing the door softly behind her.I shivered the moment I heard the door closed.I had heard many doors close in my lifetime, but never had I been this nervous and terrified at the close of a door. Not even on days when my parents would lock me up for days and offer me food from underneath the door like a dog.At this point, hearing the door locked, I was certain that this was really it.There was no going back, not even a chance to run away.I laughed at my silly thought, it was painful laughter.It was a hard truth, I could not escape, not even if I wanted to.Alpha Moses is the strongest Alpha known with a very strong army that could take me down in an instant, and I was just a feeble wolf-less girl that could
MATILDA'S POV He held onto a part of my cloth and pulled it until it tore open, baring me in front of him.My instinct in a situation like this would usually be to recoil, and then my arms would fly into the defensive and cover myself from him. But somehow, I could not bring myself to do it.Maybe it was the great fear I had for him.I watched as his hungry eyes devoured my naked body, he licked his lips involuntarily as his eyes scanned my bare chest.I felt my chest rising and falling, and my skin tingled with each look his hungry eyes gave my bare body. Soon I was feeling hot all over.I thought I was going to faint anytime soon.Still, I could not bring myself to hide from him It was not like I could do what I wanted to, though. He was a powerful man and was capable of crushing me within seconds. So I stayed still.I almost jumped out of my skin when I suddenly felt his hands move up my arms, caressing them in such a way that felt sensual. It felt wrong, yet at the same time, it
MOSES'S POV I was coming out from the gym in my palace when I was informed by one of the palace's maidens that my orders had been carried out, the woman had been prepared and was waiting for me in my room.I licked my lips in anticipation, I had been told by her father that she was untouched. I looked forward to being the one to defile her. Doing that always gave me a kind of feeling of fulfillment, it always reminded me of the amount of power I controlled.Yes, I always go to the gym. I have a gym in my palace where I often go to work out to keep fit. Even though I was the alpha king and commanded a lot of power, I still needed to maintain my good looks.Plus, going to the gym would also help to build my power and make me more powerful.I let out a lopsided smile as I stretched my hand and collected the towel that was being passed to me by one of my concubines. She tried to rub my chest, but I forcefully pulled her hand away. This was not time for that, I did not have the time for h
MATILDA'S POV I opened the door with shaky hands, fearing that there could be people out there who would see my nakedness.I was scared that I would bare myself completely before the people out there, but still, I was scared of staying still in the room because I feared what he could do to me if I remained there.I walked slowly outside, looking around and feeling ashamed of myself that the house would see my nakedness.But much to my relief, the very moment I stepped outside, a white piece of cloth, which was enough to cover the torn parts of my cloth, was put over my shoulders.I turned to the part the cloth had come from and saw one of the two women that had prepared me earlier standing there with me.She smiled at me and gestured to me that we should go."Come with me," she said with a soft, calm voice.I followed after her and let her lead me, she put her arms around my shoulder and we walked till we got to the room they had prepared for me earlier.She opened the door and led m
MOSES'S POV I heard my phone ringing after I saw her working out of my room, so I picked it up to see who was calling again.It was my right-hand man calling. I wondered what could be the problem this time around again.He told me that my attention was needed at the meeting they were having downstairs about the well-being of the pack and all my other territories."There is a rumor going around about plans for an external attack on the park." He said on the phone.I clenched my fist, who would dare try to make plans to attack my pack? Was he not scared for his life?"Okay, I would be right there," I said calmly into the phone, even though I was boiling inside.With my fist still clenched, I tossed my phone on the bed and started walking angrily downstairs.I got to my study, where we normally had emergency meetings about anything about the pack and its well-being.I met Louis, already sitting there with some other men."How authentic is the source of the rumor?" I asked, in a clear v
MATILDA'S POV I took two steps back, and he kept taking several steps toward me, making me scared out of my wit."Who said you could lock the door?" He asked fiercely, his eyes burning with anger.I did not say anything, I just stared at him wide-eyed as he looked at me with his burning eyes."Why did you lock the door?" His voice thundered.I suddenly started to sweat profusely as I stared into his eyes.I had gotten myself into a lot of trouble just on my second day here, how did I sleep off so much that I did not hear him knocking, it seemed like he had been knocking for a long time.How would I explain to him now that I did not lock him out on purpose?I could see in his eyes that he was mad, and there was absolutely no way to pacify his anger.Even though I knew I could not pacify him at that moment, I still decided to try anyway."I'm… I'm sorry..." I stammered with my eyes on the ground.But that seemed to anger him the most.I could tell by the way his eyes suddenly lit up, i
