Story: The Alpha King’s Bride
The only thing preventing me from telling Hannah the truth was her long history of bullying; once, she used her position as a daughter of nobility to pick on my maid, resulting in her death.
I couldn’t wait to see Hannah’s expression when she discovered the truth about her beloved groom.
To get everyone to back off, I took off my engagement ring. “You recognise this, don’t you, Rhett?””
According to rumours, the ring was a sacred relic passed down through generations of the royal family and could only be worn by the future Luna Queen. Wyatt gave it to her as an engagement gift.
Rhett grabbed the ring from me. “This can’t be…”
He then threw the ring at my face, seething, “I underestimated you, Mira. You certainly know how to create a convincing replica! Only Uncle Wyatt has possession of the Sacred Ring! Not even my father has witnessed it. Where did you have the replica made?
His friends were roaring with laughter. “Pathetic! She thinks a phoney ring will make her the Luna Queen of Duskhollow!”
“As expected of a shameless woman,” someone sneered. “She’s worse than the omegas of the pack!”
I felt their spit like venom on my face, stinging the scratches Rhett had made on my temples.
Rhett’s eyes had an icy gleam, and his face darkened as he stalked towards me. He gave me a merciless push. While attempting to regain my footing, I unintentionally removed my necklace, which featured a wolf fang pendant inlaid with sapphire.
I quickly picked up the necklace, dusted it off, and gently cradled it in my palms. My mother once told me that it was my father’s greatest wish to witness my wedding. The wolf fang was the only part of his body that remained intact after he died on the battlefield.
I couldn’t believe Rhett almost crushed the wolf fang before my wedding began. I was still fuming when Hannah said, dejectedly, “Mira, I know you don’t want Rhett to marry me, but how could you bring your father’s remains here? Are you attempting to curse us?”
“Why else would you have done this but to bring bad luck to my and Rhett’s baby? You’ll just make Rhett hate you more. Get that filthy thing out of my sight right away! It’s bad enough you killed my father, but to bring such an abomination to my big day-”
“Do not touch me!”” I roared, pushing Hannah away, but not a moment later, I felt Rhett land a kick on my back, sending me to the ground, and the necklace I’d carefully picked up fell out of my grasp.
Rhett helped Hannah up, his eyes shining with a gentle indulgence I’d never seen before, and then he stomped on my necklace and looked at me imperiously as if I were a pest. “How dare you lay hands on Hannah, Mira? Don’t you know she’s expecting my child?
“And for you to show up to my wedding with your father’s remains… I ought to teach you a lesson for being so arrogant!” He stomped on my necklace several times.
“Rhett, stop! I won’t have you insult my father!” I extended my hand to protect the trinket, but Rhett stomped on the back of my hand. I felt the wolf fang pierce my palm, and the pain was excruciating.
Rhett kicked my injured hand away before picking up the half-destroyed necklace. He threw it at the wall, and I watched as my father’s wolf fang broke into pieces.
My claws unsheathed from my fingertips as a growl rose in the back of my throat. “You’ll pay for insulting my father! I was tortured while I was kept in the dungeon for three years, but I heard some very interesting stories, too…” I lunged and pinned one of Rhett’s friends by the neck. “Tobias, you knew territory was a sensitive topic among packs, yet you used it to cause strain among them and demanded military back-up. But in truth, you were hoping to secure your position through war and gain resources for yourself, right?”
