Chapter 1 Chapter 1

SABRINA

“Sabrina! After making it clear to you that you are betrothed to the Alpha king, you still have to humiliate me this way?" My father's voice boomed through the walls of the room as his cold eyes stared at me in disbelief.

I was startled by his voice as my eyes darted around the room and I became confused. Mother, father, and three guards were standing inside the room which didn't look like mine.

What happened?

How did I get here?

I pulled the cover away from my chest, and good lord, I was fucking naked underneath, and two men were kneeling behind Father with only their boxers on.

“Tell me, Sabrina. How could you humiliate me this way by making out with two men? How dare you disgrace me!" Father yelled while mother held his hand, shaking her head because his voice was already rising.

My lips shook violently when I realised what actually happened.

“Father, I didn't know what happened. I came here to meet Brandon, but I don't know how I ended up in this room," I said, shaking my head as I tried to cover my modesty with the duvet.

Confusion marred my face when I looked around the room. There was no sign of Brandon, my sweet boyfriend and it seems whatever I saw last night was a nightmare.

“Will you stop lying, Sabrina? I thought you ran away from home." Father spat flaring his hands in the air.

“We searched everywhere for you, only for the guards to lead us here. How could you sleep with two men?" He asked and I blinked my eyes repeatedly.

I would never do something like that knowing the kind of person my father is. He has made sure I was brought up under strict rules and no man was allowed to see my nakedness until my wedding night. And being the only child, he made sure all my needs were attended to but he hates Brandon.

I think I remember now. I was on my way to see Brandon and...

“I told you the Alpha king will be welcoming you in as his Luna, and you brought this disgrace upon our family Sabrina," Father's voice reverberated as he turned his back to me.

Tears streamed down my cheeks when I realized the dire situation I was in.

No one will believe I didn't know these two men, and the funniest part is I wasn't in Brandon's room, which means someone set me up.

Is it Brandon?

Father is one of the elders working in the Dark Crimson Pack and I was meant to get married to the Alpha despite that I have a boyfriend. But I can't go against the Alpha king.

“Sabrina is my only daughter. No one would want her if the Alpha got the whiff of what happened here,” Mother said, and a silent sob escaped my lips.

I fucked up but I barely remember anything from last night. Father was about to reply when the door suddenly burst open, Lisa, my best friend ran towards me and pulled me in for a hug.

Now I remember everything from last night.

Lisa cannot be my best friend because memories from last night resurfaced in my mind when I saw her.

“How could this happen, Sabrina? You told me you will be escaping with Brandon. How could you let father meet you here” Lisa said as she wrapped her hand around my neck, hugging me.

The taste of betrayal lingered on my tongue when I saw her pretentious face.

“The king would have known by now because the news had already circulated,” Father said when he realized Lisa was already aware of what transpired here.

I tried to push Lisa away but she didn't bulge as she whispered in the shell of my ear.

“Let's see how you are going to escape now, Sabrina. You should have left Brandon for me when I told you I liked him first. But do you ever listen” Lisa said, her voice dripping with venom as she let go of me.

My blood boiled with anger. I raised my hand and slapped Lisa hard on her cheek. A short gasp escaped Mother's lips when she saw what I did.

“You did this Lisa! You set me up!” I yelled with a shaky breath, holding the covers tight.

“Father, Mother," I muttered with my lips quivering.

”It was Lisa and Brandon. They set me up because I caught them last night, making out.. Brandon betrayed me!” I cried as my heart shredded into pieces.

I remembered it all now.

“What are you talking about? Lisa is your friend, Sabrina. And your father already told you to cut off Brandon” Mother said, but I shook my head.

Last night, I ran to Brandon's house to inform him about my plan to escape the Dark Crimson pack with him because I will be marrying the Alpha in the next 24 hours.

However, when I got to his room, I met him, making out on the bed with my best friend, Lisa. I didn't remember what happened next, but today, I vowed to let everyone know about what happened. Lisa was the one who hit me on the head with a vase before I blacked out.

“I didn't do anything, Sabrina. Why did you slap me? I have been looking for you since last night,” Lisa cried in a dramatic tone, and I was stunned to see her switch to another emotion quickly.

Ignoring Lisa, I turned to face Father. “Father, believe me. I didn't do anything with these men. I don't know them." I hiccup and continue.

”Last night, I was planning to escape with Brandon because Lisa told me to. I didn't know she was dating Brandon behind my back,” I added as more tears trickled down my eyes.

Father let out a sigh and rubbed his temples.

“The two men already confessed that you called them here last night yourself. You are actually drunk which is understandable." Father said and I knew at that point that he didn't believe me.

“The message you sent to them is on their phone." Mother said, sobbing.

“No father, I didn't know them," I cried out but he didn't listen.

”Just get ready and follow me to the castle. Today was supposed to be your coronation as Luna. Let's hope the Alpha King sets you free, Sabrina, because you have committed a grave sin," Father said, his voice etched with disappointment before leaving with the guards.

My body shook as I held the cover to my chest. Lisa left with Father crying, and she kept telling Father that I wrongly accused her because she wasn't there with me.

After crying to my heart's content and the two men who slept with me got dragged away, Mother convinced me to take my bath and wear my dress.

I doubt I can escape it. I will be getting married to the cruelest Alpha.

IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT when we made our way to the Alpha King's palace. The cream-colored dress I wore flowed freely behind me as I made my way to the altar.

My heart thudded rhythmically when I saw the look people gave me, but I wasn't sure if they already heard about what happened.

Right now, I only hope my death will not be that painful.

There was no sign of the Alpha in the hall room, but my entire being felt disrupted because of the low murmurs I heard in the room.
