"Just because you hate me doesn't mean your body doesn't want me" he said, He lifted her leg and leaned closer to her, his fingers touched her lips and trailed down to her neck, he could hear her heart beating fast and he knew he had that effect on her. "Your body wants me and there is no denying that" he stated the obvious, "So don't you ever think that I can't have you when I want because I can and I would" he boldly said and then turned his back towards her. * "I own you now Bella and you can never escape me" he whispered to her ears hovering over her and pinning her body to his with his arms around her waist. Her scent was driving him crazy making his imagination grow wild. * Bella, a joyful and beautiful girl who lived happily with her parents and her little brother as the only family related to the Alpha of the Crescent moon pack was met with the gruesome death of her family by another Alpha who attacked their pack. This shattered and broke her making her weak and lonely, she thought she had seen the end of the world until she found out that she was sold as a bride by her uncle to the same Alpha who killed her family. Will she accept such cruel fate and bend to her Alpha's will or would she avenge her family?
The Sun was slightly going down giving a presence to the moon hoping to perk up in the Sky. The Crescent moon pack was as quiet as it could ever be ruled by a strong and considerate Alpha, Alpha Nathan.
He made the pack to be as peaceful as ever ruling it with a fine touch, he was ruthless and cocky at the same time but he never neglected his pack.
A beautiful house close to the woods with a tiny garden and a small porch lived the brother of the Alpha with his family, he had a beautiful and cheerful daughter with a young and agile son.
"Bella come down for dinner?" His wife Whitney called and Bella came running down with her little brother Olive.
"Careful kids" Isaiah their father said.
"Dad, after eating can we play in the woods just for a little while?" Olive requested of his father shining his perfectly white teeth at him. The seven year old boy knew his father could never resist his smile and he was right.
"Okay but don't stay out too long?" He reprimanded even the woods was safe because it was still within the Crescent moon pack.
Olive grinned happily, he always liked the beautiful moments when Bella would tell him a story while the moon raised up in the sky.
He hastily finished his dinner and grabbed his seventeen year old sister by the hand out of the house.
"Slow down" Bella said but he wasn't having it as he ran through the woods to their usual spot.
Bella placed a blanket on the ground and they sat on it with his tiny head resting on her arm.
"Bella, do you think I can ever be Alpha" he asked his knowledgeable sister for the confirmation of words his father told him.
"You can be anything you want to be, I believe in you" she answered him carefully.
"I don't want to be an Alpha, it has a lot of responsibilities and Dad told me that Uncle Nathan doesn't have a son so the Alpha title will fall on me. Even Uncle Nathan said so himself" Olive explained the fruitful events that lead to his question.
"Don't you want to be the greatest Alpha this pack has ever seen, Strong, Kind and powerful" She asked.
"I am strong" he answered hastily.
"You are not strong enough because you don't want to be the Alpha" She stated and he frowned.
"Will being the Alpha make me strong?" He questioned looking up to the already dark skies as he clasped his fingers with his sister's.
"No title can make you strong, only you can do that with the will of your heart and mind" she touched his chest and he laughed gesturing it was ticklish.
"Do you know why there are no stars today?" She turned to her naive little brother who in turn looked back at her and shaked his head.
"Its because.."
"Ahhhhh" Bella heard a scream and was interrupted.
"Mom" Olive didn't bother waiting for her because he knew it was their mother's voice he ran with speed towards the house.
"Olive wait up" she stood up to chase after him but she dashed her feet on a stone falling down.
Looking up, she found out that Olive was gone, she quickly stood running back home. Just a little further from home she saw two bodies on the floor and knew it was her mother and Father, Olive was being held by a wolf who slashed his neck with his claws and ripped his body apart.
"Noooooo" she screamed running towards the wolf but it threw her to a tree where she got unconscious for a minute, when she opened her eyes, she found a young man in a royal attire standing in front of the bodies, his hair was long to his waist and a perfect build, he looked down on the bodies and then at her giving her a chance to see his face properly before he left.
Bella got up and ran towards her dead family,
"Mom, Dad, Olive" she cried kneeling down close to them, her whole family was murdered and that did not go well with her.
She let out a bellowed scream in the air expressing her pain and sorrow, the only family she had had been taken away from her, all she could remember was the face of the man who killed them and she vowed to exact her revenge for her family.
Bella was taken to the pack house where she was being comforted by Luna Diana and her cousin Hava, she had been told that the pack was under attack and she had seen other houses and family in ruins on her way to the castle.
"Don't cry Bella, I am here for you" Hava said hugging her tightly, the tears coming out of Bella eyes wet her cloth and she could also feel her pain. Isaiah was her uncle and so was Bella's family her family. She didn't know the extent of which Bella was hurt but she also fell grief for her.
"Bella, your uncle Nathan needs to see you" Diana said standing by the door of Hava's room, she has watched Bella cry for a while and was sorry for her.
"I will go with you" Hava said ready to join her when her mother stopped her.
"Just Bella" she said.
Bella walked quietly and slowly until she got to the Alpha's office and opened it.
"Bella, have a seat" Alpha Nathan gestured and she sat down.
"How are you holding up, you have been mourning for a week now for your family" he stated and she looked up to him with puffy eyes.
"No, don't cry again" he went to her and wiped her tears, it hurt him to see his little niece crying, the death of his brother and his family also pained him as much as it pained Bella.
"They were all I had" Bella wept more remembering the last moments she had with them, the peaceful times and the evening chat she always had with her brother.
"I know and I am sorry" he answered her guilty about what he was about to say next.
He suddenly went on his knees startling her,
"Uncle what are you doing?" She asked confused by his actions.
"Please save us Bella, please" he pleaded,
Bella was more perplexed by what he said, what did he mean by she should save them, "What is going on?".
"Our pack would be under attack again if we don't give him a bride" he blurted getting up on his feet and holding her hand.
"Bella you know I will never do this to you but my daughter is quite younger than you and you would be eighteen in two months. Please save the pack and be the bride" he stated.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bella stood up angrily, she was still mourning her parents and he had the guts to tell her to be married to someone else.
"I got a letter three days ago that our pack would be under another attack if we don't present a bride to the Alpha, please Bella, look on the bright side you can start a new life there" he tried convincing her to listen to him, he had so much fear in his eyes, the Alpha he was referring to was the strongest in all lands and others referred to him as the Alpha King.
Compared to him, the Crescent moon pack was nothing before him.
"No I cannot do it" Bella refused.
"Bella listen to me, you may have lost your family but you can save other families from the same thing happening to them. Think about your cousin Hava who looks up to you" he reasoned with her again but Bella wasn't having it and pushed opened the door.
She found Hava standing there with swollen eyes, she must have heard everything they said, she could see how scared she was from just finding out the truth.
Bella took a deep breath and did what she had never expected she would do.
"Fine, I will be the bride" she said and then walked away.
***
Two days later Bella was picked up by the Gamma of the Red moon pack, the pack was quite different from what she had expected, it was spacious and more lively than the Crescent moon pack.
The castle wasn't just a castle but an estate enough to occupy hundreds of people in it.
Gamma Lucian of the red moon pack ushered her in until they waited at the massive Hall for the arrival of the Alpha.
Bella watched a man walk down the stairs, short brown hair, tall and had a huge body, a chisel jaw face and a vibrant smile.
"He isn't all that bad" she muttered to herself as he walked closer to her and held her hand.
"Hi, you must be Bella, I am Beta Arthur" he introduced himself.
Down the drain went the thoughts that he could be the Alpha she was contracted to.
Bella could hear another set of footsteps, slow and steady coming down the stairs, she watched a man walk down in a white shirt and black jeans, long black hair with a half bun, a stern face and brown eyes.
He stood by the stairs without coming closer to her neither did he utter a word.
Bella immediately recognized him as the man who killed her parents.
"Say you are mine," He demanded, "I can't!" She answered keeping her eyes on him, their breathing was in sync as they stared at each other. "We can't be doing this..." she whispered. "No, you are mine, Blue." He brushed her words off, she may be betrothed to the King, but she was his alone. "Cane, listen to me..." "No." He shut her up with a kiss. It carried with it a sense of longing, he wanted her because she was his mate, she was the only woman he desired and wished to have.
“Don't you think you are being too harsh on me” her voice barely a whisper, it felt like she was closer to his ears whispering sweet words to him. “I am…” His words got interrupted when she pinned her lips to his, Blank were his thoughts that he couldn't think of anything else, how he responded to the kiss and how he wrapped his arms around her waist, possessively holding her like she was his. It was wrong to hold her like that, he had a wife and a son but still he wanted her to his. He wanted this strange woman like his life depended on him. He kissed her passionately in response, her hands at the back of his head rubbing that sensative spot, she knew every part on his body that gave him the heat, it was like she knew him so well. He wanted more, more from her, more than just a kiss, a kiss was nothing to him, it didn't mean that she belonged to him. He pried his tongue into her mouth, her lips were soft and tasty that he didn't want to back away, he didn't want to let go of her. *** After a one-night stand with a strange woman who fueled his desire and his urge to claim her. Arthur returned home to his subtle marriage hoping he would never see her again. His wishes were turned down when she appeared at his house as a maid.
