Chapter 2 Chapter 2
SABRINA
Did the Alpha already hear about what happened today?
I already heard about his reputation. Not many had seen him, but there were rumors that he was merciless and cruel to whoever posed a threat to him.
“All hail to welcome the Alpha king,” The priest said, pulling me away from my thoughts as everyone bowed their heads.
My entire being became disorganized when I raised my eyes to look at the direction he was coming in from. I already pictured him to be tall and well-built, and he was.
He was at least 6 ft tall with a lean build. If he is good at martial arts, I doubt he will care about his appearance, but I was wrong when he finally got closer to me.
Raven black hair, clean shaved jaw with a sharp jawline. He has a chiseled nose, but I don't know if the color of his eyes is black, blue, or golden.
No one told me he was fucking beautiful, and I was mesmerized.
He mounted the altar and held my hand in his, kissing it and I felt a jolt of electricity went down my spine. This is not right but his scent intoxicated me and I felt a shiver coursing through me.
I didn't hear what the priest said next but I knew I was enchanted by his beauty or more of I was waiting for him to slaughter my neck open.
“Do you, Alpha Vincent Phoenix, take Sabrina Blackwood as your mate and Luna?" The priest asked the Alpha king, and only then did I realize I was getting married to the ruthless Alpha.
“I do," He replied, and I blinked at the richness of his voice.
Did he not hear about what happened today?
”Do you Sabrina Blackwood take Alpha Vincent Phoenix as your mate and Alpha?” the priest asked and I glanced up at the Alpha king whose expression was unreadable as he looked at me.
Maybe I should have just confessed and told him I was already stained and defiled, but I couldn't bring myself to say it
“I do,” I said, and I knew at that time that I made a terrible mistake because my wolf, who had been silent all this while, suddenly whispered the dreadful word I thought I would never hear since everyone believed I was a weak Omega.
“MATE!”
And then the priest's voice boomed, ”You may seal the bond”
My heart beat wildly in my chest when his large hand suddenly drew my waist closer to him. My eyes widened when I saw a playful smirk on his lips. He looks young, as if he was in his late twenties but what got me puzzled was the fact that Alpha Vincent is my fated mate.
I thought he was going to kiss me when he suddenly tilted his head and crashed his lips against my neck.
Different waves of desires traveled down my body when I felt the tip of his fang pierced into my neck and I let out a throaty moan.
My cheeks become reddened when I realize the sound that escaped my lips. His tongue licked on the spot while I parted my lips but no words came out. My whole body vibrated to his touch as the audience erupted into a loud cheer. He licked the spot and stepped back from me.
“All hail the Alpha and Luna of Dark Crimson Pack," the priest's voice reverberated through the hall.
”May I have this dance?" Alpha Vincent asked.
His voice was like a whisper in the silent night as he led me to the dance floor. Alpha Vincent is my mate and I can't fucking believe it when I have always wished it would be Brandon.
Alpha Vincent's hand held my waist as we began to move to the music. I didn't alter a word and he didn't try to engage in a conversation either.
However, something is not right with me because I suddenly feel my body getting hot and my core throbbing with need. I couldn't concentrate, but it seemed Alpha Vincent knew what was happening to me because of the way he gazed at me.
“Unless he already heard what happened?" My conscience gnawed at me.
“Leave, and the maid will show you to your room," Alpha Vincent said breathily as he released me from his hold.
I picked up my dress and left the hall, knowing fully well that I wasn't needed there. He wouldn't introduce me to his pack members because our relationship was built on lies, but he is my fated mate.
Our union was supposed to be fake. I was supposed to be his fake Luna but the inevitable happened today.
My eyes darted around the beautiful castle until I was led to my room with the help of a maid. I was about to close the door when the maid suddenly stepped in, bowing her head.
“What?" I asked calmly in a quiet tone.
I just wanted to get into a shower right now and calm my racing nerves.
“You need to complete the mate bonding, Luna. We will prepare you for tonight." She said and my jaw dropped.
Oh fuck!
How could I forget that?
After the mating ritual, I would have to complete the mating bond with the Alpha. Is that why I suddenly feel hot?
”You don't have to worry, I will take care of myself," I said, glancing up at the maid.
“No, my Luna." She said, her voice filled with fear.
”It's tradition. Your dress has been prepared. You just need to take your bath," she added, and I knew there was no escape tonight.
The silk, transparent white dress I wore clung to my body as I stood inside the room, pacing to and fro. The maid instructed me to wear this according to the tradition in the pack.
Wearing white symbolizes the purity of Luna.
However, I wanted to cry because one thing I fear most is going to happen to me. I thought I lost my virginity a while ago to the two men Brandon set me up with but it seems it was a lie because I didn't feel any pain in between my legs.
There was no difficulty at all, but I couldn't inform Mother because I was dragged here.
I believe that my mate will find out, which will make all the rumors about me false.
The door suddenly creaked open and I was brought out of my daydreaming world when the Alpha suddenly stepped in.
He was still wearing the black suit with only the jacket taken off. My dress didn't try to cover my modesty as I stepped back while he took long strides towards me.
“To think that you this filthy whore is my mate, the goddess must be joking." Alpha Vincent said with a voice dripping with venom and my heart skipped a beat when I saw his handsome face but his cruel words sliced through my skin like a dagger.
My lips quivered.“I am not a whore." It came out like a whisper and I fucking hate it.
”Oh," Alpha Vincent said with sarcasm as he took long strides toward me. I had to remind myself that he was taller than me.
“Are you going to tell me it was all a misunderstanding and someone set you up?" Alpha Vincent asked with sarcasm and I smelled alcohol.
“How... did you know that?" I stuttered as I gripped the side of my dress.
“He is drunk!" I realized and held my dress tightly to my side.
I thought he didn't know about what happened, but how could I think that the Alpha wouldn't be aware of what happened?
“The walls have ears, princess." He said, more sarcasm and I wish the ground would swallow me up right now.
“But to think you let a man touch you, I can as well treat you as my whore," he added and this time, he was closer to me and I could taste his breath on my lips.
