Chapter 2
As I reach Darius slowly I notice the priest standing in front of him, his an old man I would say that he looks to be kind but it must be a disguise from the werewolf beneath. I see he glances at me in pity as I stand beside Darius. I can feel Darius’s anger gravitating towards me his powerful aura almost makes me lose my control and start crying again. Instead, I stand in front of him with my head held down. I refuse to look into his eyes so I look at one lone flower, which has fallen on the floor beside my foot, how ironic I snort. Suddenly Darius’s foot slams down on the beautiful flower and squishes it beneath his foot. I feel his hand roughly bring my chin up forcing me to look into his dark dangerous eyes. “You will look at me, and accept your fate.” Darius hisses beneath his teeth. My eyes start to water at the crule grip that he has on my chin I just nod in submission. There is no point in defying him now in front of his kind that would be disastrous as much as I don’t care for my life I do still care for my fathers no matter how cruel he has been to me. Lost in my thoughts I don’t hear the priest as he starts the ceremony only when Darius grabs my hand and squeezes painfully do I yelp out of my trance. The priest repeats, “Do you Claire take Darius moon to be your lawfully wed husband”. No, no I don’t I scream in my head “I do” I say on a sob as I cant contain the waterworks anymore tears rush silently down my face but I hold my head high. Faintly the priest repeats the words to Darius although im not listening I hear him repeat those dreaded two words those words that I hate with such a passion. Its then that I decide he will never have me, this is just a contract that needs to be done to protect my family and friends.
“You may now kiss the bride” wait what! Did I just hear correctly I will not let him kiss me? I feel Darius grab my hips roughly holding me in place as if he knows im about to run. I look up and just as the words no are about to leave my lips, he slams his on mine for the whole world to witness. I try to struggle in his arms but its no use his inhuman strength prevents me even the slightest movement. I stand still as I feel his surprisingly soft lips roughly move on mine leaving a tingling sensation running down my spine Darius bites my lip painfully and I gasp letting his tongue gain entry to my mouth. He chuckles lightly to himself before pulling away. To look into my eyes “ I can see this is going to be fun, remember werewolf’s love to chase” he whispers so only I can hear. “ You could never catch me,” I whisper viciously back. Darius tenses “ we will see” he says as he grabs my hand and all but drags me down the isle.
As im dragged down the isle I notice the crowd in now standing applauding us all except one, my father is off to the side behind all the monsters silently looking at me, he has tears in his eyes. And whispers sorry to me. My heart breaks at the site of him this once strong man has been turned into a weeping mess because of this this man that I now have to call my husband. What’s to happen to my father he isn’t aloud to move into the palace with me only the werewolf’s and their mates are aloud to be there and around it caged in away from the humans in their own little world only coming out when they want something from us. My father is going to be all alone in my family house no one to cook him dinner or to say goodnight to. My mother died when I was ten; people say I look like her she was beautiful long wavy brown hair with bright blue smiling eyes. One of the kindest people you would ever meet. She used to defend the wares when someone would call them monsters saying that they cannot help who they are and that we should be kind to them. I wonder if mum survived her attack, she would still say that. She was killed by a ware savagely torn apart slowly left to die when she went out for a walk to buy some bread. I still remember the day when dad came and saw me to tell me that my mother had been killed I will always have this hatred for the ware kind because of what they did to my mother. The wares even had the arrogance to stand at my mother’s funeral. I still don’t know why they came to the funeral they never turn up at any humans funerals but I guess now I know its because my mothers daughter was promised to the werewolf king.
As Darius and I enter the palace, I notice Titan and the priest following behind us. I keep following Darius not knowing where he is leading us or why. I just hope that I get to be alone soon to cry in my own sorrow. The palace is beautiful its I notice paintings of past alpha kings on the walls all handsome men although one catches my eye its Darius standing in the forest with his arms crossed looking straight through to my soul with his dark eyes. No doubt, the most handsome and dangerous of them all, the painting doesn’t do him justice I think to myself. It should be cruller not beautiful. I keep walking behind Darius when we enter a small room it is a very masculine room with a desk at the back and a black wall, on the wall is a painting of a wolf on top of a women growling, im so confused by this painting as the human girl is smiling up at the wolf in happiness she looks familiar but I cant place where I have seen her before. Looking away from the painting, I stare at the ground as I hear Titan and the priest enter behind us.
Why are we in a study I think to myself? “Are you ready Alpha” I hear the priest say to Darius. Ready for what? “Ready as ill ever be thanks Alan, Claire are you ready for the next part of the ceremony”. I hear Darius say. I look up to see a smirk plastered on his face, ive no idea what they are talking about. “Ready for what? Haven’t we already completed the ceremony if your talking about the reception then no im not ready, and I will never be ready for a wedding reception that I do not want to be a part of.” I say bravely with my head held high. Annoyance crosses Darius’s face and I hear Titan chuckle to himself the priest just sighs. “Ahhhh but Claire that was a human wedding ceremony not a werewolf’s and certainly not a werewolf king. You see now we have to complete the werewolf ceremony and that is done in front of a priest and if you are king like me a beta. It is a bit uncomftorble for the female but you will get over it.” Darius says I hear the viciousness behind his words but I have no idea what he is talking about what does a werewolf ceremony entail and why would it be uncomftorble for a female. “Whaaat…what do you mean, why would it be uncomftorble” I stutter slowly making my way back towards the door. Scared at what’s going to happen next I turn around about to run out the door when hands grab my hips and turns me around facing Darius I scream in fear as I look into Darius’s eyes which have turned gold in anger, I have the feeling that what’s about to happen im going to hate a lot more then the wedding that I just had to endure. “Start” Darius growls at the priest. The priest comes over and starts binding mine and Darius’s had with a blood red ribbon pulling us closer together. I feel Darius strong hand twice as big as mine hold my small slender one in his as the ribbon is wound tighter and tighter together the priest is muttering words softly to himself in a strange language which I don’t understand when he just stops. “ With me and Beta Titan as your witness Darius mark your mate” what? I think no no no this cant be happening I struggle trying to unbind my hand but it is forced together with some kind of magic tears are now cascading down my eyes. “Noo no you cant do this stop stoop I don’t want to” I scream looking up at Darius I see his eyes are glowing and his head is coming closer to my neck canines out, fear shoots through me as I struggle more I can feel his warm breath on my neck when he whispers in my ear “ I guess im always going to catch you after all. Struggle and its only going to hurt more.” Then I feel it Darius bites my neck I try to scream from the pain but no sound leaves my mouth its to painful I try to recoil away from Darius as he bites deeper it feels like my neck is being torn to bits, my whole body is shacking from the pain tears cascading down my face. I stop struggling as my body goes limp the pain to strong to hold myself up. Darius holds me as he keeps biting then as suddenly as he bit me he has stopped. He pulls back and looks at me and growls “mine”. I see spots and the world goes black the pain is to much for me to handle.
