ASTORIA EILISH POV
"I will never let you do this to me." I frowned as I stood my ground.
He chuckled loudly and mockingly. "And what will you do? You are just a useless omega with no power against an alpha like me."
"You are not an alpha, you stole my mother's pack and everything she had to call her own, including her life--"
"Your mother died on the battlefield because she was a weak alpha and the elders decided to choose me, since my strength surpassed hers in a million folds to lead the pack to victory which I did." He spat out.
"You liar! How could you do something like that to the woman you married? You are a monster!" I felt trickles of tears flow down my cheek.
"I am your father and you will do as I say!" He yelled out.
"You are not my father, my father died many years ago and I warned my mother about you but she didn't listen, she just had to marry a heartless wolf like you."
"Why are you so ungrateful?" He frowned.
"What?" I scrunch my face.
"You are a useless omega, the other wolves your age have found their mates long ago but here you are, wriggling like a worm under your father's roof at the age of nineteen, you should be ashamed to even go out. But a thoughtful father like me, I worked hard to get the alpha king to marry you and yet you reject it?"
"You are selling me off as a breeder!"
"You have no choice but to do as I say because I am your only guardian and I have every right over you. The alpha king has accepted to take you even though you are worthless to him, you leave today." He ordered and walked away.
All I ever wanted was to find my mate and settle with him just like my mother did. She was a very bright and beautiful alpha who always put her family first.
We were so happy until we lost my father to an illness with no cure. She found love in a mysterious werewolf which I warned my mother about but she was blinded by love.
After war broke out between the dark paw clan and mine, she decided to lead the army of strong wolves but never came back. My step father deranked me to omega after he became alpha and had stolen everything my mother left me.
I had no power against him and now, he had sold me off to the most cruel Alpha King to ever exist...
"All rise! Here comes alpha king Calix Leighton!" The King's guard announced.
We all rose to our feet, my step father, I and a few others from our pack, all present to witness the marriage between the king and I.
Alpha Calix needed a son and I would be free again once I bore him one, hopefully the moon goddess would be on my side and make my first child a male child.
He walked in with his head held high, pride exuding all over him. We all bowed our heads to avert eye contact with him, no one dared to look at him while he was passing by.
"You may sit." The King's guard said. "The alpha king has summoned you all on behalf of his new bride, Astoria Eilish who will live in the castle walls until she bears a son."
"Yes, she understands, when will I get my pay?" My step father selfishly asked.
Alpha Calix picked up a small sack which contained golden coins and threw it at my step father. "You are not allowed to ever return here for her unless I send her home." He said, his tone so cold and commanding.
"Yes my King, I have no problem with that. I brought along the elders from my pack to witness this trade so it doesn't arise as an issue in the nearest future."
"An issue? With me? Do you know what happens to people who have issues with me? They never live to tell the story of how we made up. Do you still think you can have an issue with me?" Alpha Calix questioned.
"Never your Majesty!" My step father cowardly touched the ground with his head.
"See them out." Alpha Calix said to his King's guard. "And show this ragged girl to her room."
I cursed at him as he walked past me, why couldn't he just find his mate and make her give him a son? With the looks of a god and the attitude of a beast, no woman would ever want to stay by his side.
The sound of an arrow as it whoosh past his ear caused him to freeze. Did I just witness right? Blood trickled down his neck from the cut the arrow had inflicted on his ear.
"The alpha king is under attack! Protect him with your life!" The King's guard ordered the knights that stood by in the room.
In the blink of an eye, a number of twenty men in armor surrounded him to keep him safe, placing their life on the line for him.
"Keep the king safe, I will find this assassinator." The King's guard said. Unsheathing his silver blade, he ran outside the room and accompanying him were a pack of werewolves.
Arrows were flying in from every corner of the room but not even a single man was seen, was this some sort of sorcery? I froze, my brain had stopped working from the anxiety that coursed through me and the next thing I knew, a pain on my left arm caused me to wince. I had been slit by an arrow and fresh blood sipped out.
I felt so scared and abandoned, all they cared about was the alpha king and keeping him safe while they cared less if I died on the spot.
Frozen in fear, an arrow raced for me and all I could do was stare at it as tears streamed down my face. At the dire moment, a hand pulled me out of danger's sight and I met with a set of golden yellow eyes staring into mine.
I felt and heard my heart pounding like it was about to explode, the fear that pricked my skin suddenly washed away and all I could feel was a great unexplainable sensation, a connection that electrified me, was the alpha king... My mate?
