Bride To The Alpha Prince

Chapter Four: Reality

"I wish I could unsay the words I said
I wish I could unsee the videos in my head
And if I, could untie the knot and
Unhear the promises that you forgot
Would I do that?
Would I?"

It's been two days.

Two days since I've confined myself within these four walls. Two days since I've spoken a word to the outside world and two days since I saw Kade turn into a Werewolf.

Since the incident they rescheduled the wedding to this Friday. It is currently Wednesday evening and I am hesitating to dial my father, unsure of what to do about my situation. I wish Adele were here, she would tell me what to do...but I'm alone with no shoulder to lean on.

How do I cancel a wedding? How do I tell my father that this engagement was a complete mistake and how do I tell him why I want to end our engagement? Do I even really want to do that?

Do I want to marry a Kade?

Thinking of him reminds me that I hadn't spoken to, nor heard from Kade since that night. Ever since then i've had an overwhelming need to be comforted or held by him, but I am wise enough to realise, that is the insanity thinking.

Kade is a wolf, a goddamn wolf! I nearly got killed by one and I desire to be accompanied by him? Perhaps they slipped something into my tea. Or maybe it was all a dream or maybe even some sort of sick joke and they're all waiting behind my bedroom door with camera's and a crowd of actors.

It seems I'm still in the denial phase.

I sigh and brush my wet hair while staring at my reflection with a dreary look on my face. Pitying the girl in the mirror, and judging her disheveled appearance. She looked a mess.

How has my life come to this? I was happy in Zurinsthea. I was to be to be wed to a nobleman of my choice, but instead I took the offer at the chance to marry abroad for a fresh new life if I desired. I thought I had made a great decision, where we would get married and learn to love each other. But instead I am to wed a man - no a werewolf - that sees me as nothing more than a nuisance.

But come on, what did I honestly expect? Prince Charming? Gosh I am so naive.

A light knock at the door pulls me back to reality. I clear my throat and spit the toothpaste from my mouth before responding.

"Come in." I speak, welcoming my new lady in waiting. I continue to brush my teeth quietly, thinking she is just here to do her usual tidy up and leave me my dinner that I barely touch.

"Armelle..." A deep voice startles me and my snaps to look at the man that stands at the door.

I quickly rinse my mouth and pat my face dry before stepping out of the bathroom.

"Adrian." I say in a quiet voice. I fold my arms and stare at him warily and in disappointment that it wasn't Kade visiting me.

But I wonder...Is he one too?

"Are you ok? I heard what happened, I am so sorry you had to go through that." He steps into the room more. I am quiet at first but I see his sincere blue eyes and worried expression, which told me he wasn't going to hurt me.
