Chapter 2 Sold out

Bella had never for once thought she would be given as a bride to the man who murdered her family. She had thought she would be sent off to a powerful and cruel Alpha which he was but definitely not to him. “You murderer” she yelled running to reach him but Beta Arthur caught her immediately restraining her. He couldn’t let her get past him or he would be reprimanded by the Alpha. “You killed my family, you deserve to die” she screamed at the top of her lungs, seeing the man who murdered her parents brought past memories to her and her hunger for revenge slipped up. She saw how calm and coded he was while she was ranting and screaming and it annoyed her more, he had killed her parents and now he also got her as a bride, what kind of twisted fate was that.

“You murdered them, you killed my family, you deserve to die” she kicked and screamed to be set free, she wanted to kill him at that spot avenging her family for their death.

“Let me go” she struggled with Arthur yet his grip on her was stronger keeping her away from him. It was his duty to protect the Alpha from harm.

“Get her out of my sight” Alpha Coast ordered. Those words hurt Bella like a stab wound to her heart, after killing her family he had the guts to act all tough with no sense of guilt or regret. There was no hint of remorse in his face, she knew he could recognize her as the girl he knocked out to a tree. “I will kill you, do you hear me you bastard, I will kill you!” Her last words echoed in the hall before she was taken away by Beta Arthur to a little flat away from the castle and there he locked her in.

“Open the door” Bella pounced on the door with the little strength she had even though she knew she couldn’t break it down with that same strength. It didn’t have to be this way, she wasn’t supposed to be bethroted to the same man who murdered her family in cold blood. Remembering his face brought disgust and anger to her troubled soul, she crashed to the floor holding her hair in her hand, she could hear the voices of her family, her father’s advice, her mother’s yelling and her little brother’s laugh. It was still imprinted in her head staying fresh in her mind, if she had know that her uncle Nathan was referring to him then she would declined the offer not caring if a lot of people will die for that.

How could he do that to her, how could he give her off to him, Bella was distraught beyond measure, her heart was heavy and pained just by thinking of her family. It was an abomination to be the Luna of the man who caused her agony, who made her feel alone in the world, he took away her only family. She was Forbidden to ever have anything to do with him except make him go through the same pain he had caused her. “I will make sure to kill you if that is the last thing i have to do” she swore to herself making those words sink in.

She thought about her chances again, maybe she was sent there to get her revenge on the man who killed her family, this could be her chance to eliminate him once and for all. She beginning to see a new path where she could pay him back in ten folds for what he did to her. She could give her family the leave they deserved by avenging their death. “I will make sure I kill you before I leave this pack” she muttered.

*** Alpha Coast returned to his chambers staring at the open window as he let his thoughts float around his head. His decision to ask for a bride from the Crescent moon pack in exchange for peace was backfiring at him and he wished he hadn’t done that. Right from the moment he walked down the steps, he could feel her presence, her scent was the only thing drawing him and he did not expect that a girl who wanted him dead would turn out to be his mate. Her vanilla scent drove him crazy and he stood there watching her, she was beautiful and perfect to him and he struggled to keep his urge to himself acting like her presence didn’t affect him at all. He could see pure hatred in her eyes for him and he didn’t blame her yet he also didn’t care about that.

“It changes nothing” he uttered, not because she was his mate that he would soften for her. Coast had asked for a bride because he thought he would be given the daughter of Alpha Nathan that he had no feelings or attraction to. He wanted a bride to be his Luna just for the name and for the pleasure without having any relationship or bond with her. He hated the mate bond because it always made wolves weak, using their mates as a source of weakness to tear down packs. He was known as ruthless Alpha who never cared about entanglement, his status in the pack was prominent for not having anything to do with a lady that most time the women would think that he was gay but none actually voiced it out and kept it in their hearts.

He hated the fact that it had to be her, he had to be blessed with a mate who wanted nothing to with him, looking on a bright side it was also better for him aside from the part that if he ever let his guard down then she could kill him. He swore to turn her hatred into fierceness making her the most feared Luna in the land, no one would be able to use her as a weakness against him because he promised to have no entanglement with her.

“Alpha” Arthur mind-linked him, “She has been taken to the flat and there are several guards watching her, she won’t be able to escape” he relayed to him and Coast listened attentively.

“Good, you can open the doors tomorrow but do not remove the guards” he ordered. Coast had kept guards to prevent Bella from running away, now that she was there there was no turning back for her. The banquet was coming up in a few months time and he needed her by his side to prevent lurking eyes of Alpha’s and their daughters on him showing them that he already had a Luna.

“Yes, Alpha” Arthur answered and returned to his room to have some rest, his shirt was torn because of Bella’s scratches and struggles. “What a feisty bride” he said as he laughed at the predicament Alpha Coast had gotten himself into by having such bride.
