Story: The Alpha King’s Bride
He led Hannah out of the room, assuring her of his loyalty. When she was gone, he locked the door and turned to face me. I fought against the hand that was clamped over my mouth, seething, “Don’t you dare lay a hand on me, Rhett! I’m the future Luna Queen!”
Rhett slapped me across the face. “Still clinging to your pathetic lies even at your deathbed, Mira? If you truly are the Luna Queen, why don’t you beg Wyatt to save you?”
I felt countless pairs of hands roving over my body, tearing the fabric of my wedding gown. “Get off me! Don’t touch me! Please…” My sobbing and pleading enraged them even more. In their excitement, one of them extended his claws towards my chest. The door flew open with a thunderous bang, and Wyatt growled in warning, “The wedding is starting, and the lot of you are here to pick on and humiliate a helpless woman? What happened to decorum?”
Rhett smiled as he left the room. “Uncle Wyatt, a certain shameless woman robbed the royal family; I’m only punishing her for you.
“She stole the wedding dress you designed and had a replica of the Sacred Ring, which has been in our family for generations, made just to force me to take her back. “I am teaching her a lesson on your behalf.”
He was expecting praise, but Wyatt grabbed him by the neck and lifted him off the ground, his gravelly voice tinged with the threat of violence, as he demanded, “Who’s in the room?””
Rhett was suffocating and choked out his response, “It’s…Mira…” The stupid woman who’s been harassing me… “Don’t get worked up about someone like her…”
Wyatt was so outraged when he heard this that he threw Rhett against the door, breaking it open with his sheer weight.
I was helpless inside the room, pinned to the ground by Rhett’s friends; when Wyatt saw this, he roared and charged towards the men holding me down, tearing them off me and throwing them away.
His eyes were wide with rage and disbelief as he scooped me up from the floor; frantic, he assessed my wounds and asked, “Mira…” Are you okay? I’m sorry I wasn’t there to protect you.
As I buried myself in his embrace, I was overcome with resentment and hurt. “Wyatt, they destroyed my necklace, which contained my father’s only remains, and then attempted to force themselves on me!”
The Elder of Ceremonies rushed to my side with a first-aid kit and began cleaning my wounds; she had awoken when Rhett’s friends attempted to force themselves on me, and she had tried to save me, but the scumbags pushed her away.
She was furious as she explained, “Ms. Mira told them she was marrying you today, but they not only didn’t believe her, but they also treated her badly!”
At that moment, Rhett’s friends pulled themselves to their feet. They blanched at the sight of Wyatt’s thunderous expression, but they didn’t seem to think they’d get in trouble with him, because one of them asked, “Alpha King, has there been a mistake? You stated that you were marrying a noble daughter whose father was a hero of Duskhollow today.
“This bitch is nothing more than a slut who came out of prison not too long ago. She’s not nearly good enough to be the Luna Queen!”
Wyatt threw the cotton bud he’d been using to clean my wounds at the werewolf who had insulted me, striking him square in the eye. “Mira is my mate, and you have no right denigrating her! Anyone who has touched her today will not survive my wrath!”
Rhett’s friends trembled so violently that they could not stand, and they fell to their knees to beg the Alpha King’s mercy. “We’re sorry, Alpha King; we were too shallow and ignorant to recognise our future Luna Queen! We beg her to forgive our oversight!
