Matilda POV
“My Lord, Lady Matilda is here.” the person I saw earlier announced to my parents who were in the hall, I was about to step feet into the hall.“Who asked you to address her with such formalities?” I stopped as soon as my mother’s voice fired at him.They haven't changed one bit.“I wonder! She wouldn’t have been here.” my father snorted in annoyance.“I told you never to bring her back.” my mother queried in anger.“I wouldn’t have but she’s necessary now.” he reminded her.All these while, I have been standing at the entrance with my head lowered to the ground. I dared not step in without their permission. All I did was listened to their rant until they exhaled in unison.“Oh! Look what we have here.” it was Hilda’s voice. I turned to her and she scoffed, rolling her eyes disgustingly at me.“Hil…” I began.“Who brought her back?” she asked curtly walking away from me as she approached them.“Come in, you fool!” my father’s voice yelled and I nodded like a coward as I walked into the hall.“Who asked you to blonde your hair as you left?” my mother asked me in anger as I faced her. Actually, I stretched it; she only exaggerated.She wasn’t pleased to see me and she also wasn’t happy to see me looking good, even more, elegant than their spoilt child.“Mum, I…” I started but she shunned me with her hands in the air.Hilda approached me and snatched my black box from me, she opened it and started pouring out everything.My purse, my hot bum shorts and dresses, my lip gloss, perfumes, and other lovely lady accessories scattered on the ground as she started picking the ones that attracted her attention.“A brat like you doesn’t deserve all these.” she sneered at me in disgust.I thought she was joking but my jaw dropped when her personal maid came in and started taking out all my things, I was left with nothing - not even the birthday bracelet that Kevin gave to me. I would have requested it but if she knew it was precious to me, she wouldn’t give in and we would end up arguing until we ripped the bracelet.I sighed sadly and faced my father.“I received a call from Uncle Thomas, why did you call me?” I asked courteously.“We have a task for you,” he said with a livid voice.“A task?” I was confused as I stared at him with curiosity dancing in my eyes.“You will be getting married soon.” my mother spilled and I exhaled deeply in relief.Have they realized that I was made for Tony, my mate? And the best to do was push me to him since he was a Gamma. They would only sell me out to worthless and harmful things.“Thank you very much father, finally you understand your child’s heart.” I bowed with a smile enveloping my round face.I was super happy.I haven't seen Tony for ages but meeting him again and sharing this news with him would be a dream come true, he would be so happy. I couldn’t wait.“You will be getting married to the king, Alpha Moses Darvon.” my father broke out the news and my eyes wide open in astonishment.“What?” my mouth hung in the air.It came so unexpectedly and who could be this Alpha? Unfortunately, I didn’t know much about him or I was still confused.“Dad, that’s impossible.” I began.“I already have a mate and he promised to marry me. So, why should I marry King Moses?” I questioned anxiously.“You have no say in this!” my mother shunned me with her finger in the air, she was annoyed.“I can’t get married to him.” I paused.“If I could remember correctly, he is the same king that killed two wives in one year. Why do you want your child to marry him?” I cried out bitterly,Everything dawned on me, I knew the whole story about King Moses and I can’t afford to be his prey this time. Never!“When I ask you to do something, you do it and don’t complain else I will rip out your tongue!” my father threatened me in anger and I shook my head in disbelief.“So, this is it?” I rested my butts on my legs since I was still kneeling.“You haven't seen me for six good years and when you called me back, you are about to sell me out to a beast! Is this the parenthood you brag about?” I cursed at their faces.I knew I was worthless to them but they wouldn't have gone to this length. It was best that they killed me at this stage because I was never going to conform to whatever they wanted.This time, I will never please them.“You have just two days until the king arrives to pick you up, you better get ready!” my mother informed me.“Now get out!” my father scowled at me, I bowed and left the hall with my face lowered to the ground.I cursed myself for being weak and born into this family.They treated me like a rag even when they were to coax me into doing what they wanted.I was hopeless and helpless, no one could save me. Not even Tony and in the end, I will have to surrender to them.If I had known this was the reason they wanted me back, I wouldn’t have come. I would have maybe run away or gone somewhere far from here.I stopped walking when I saw a ground of maids gathered at a corner, they were discussing and I wondered what seemed interesting that they didn’t even notice me when I passed. I had to pause and listen to what they were saying. After all, servants are one of the best networks when it comes to information.“Last week when King Moses visited, Lady Hilda joined our lord in the meeting hall.” one of the servants said.“We are not supposed to talk about the king, if he hears this or sees us, we are dead.” another servant warned them.“I want to hear the gist, please continue.” the other servant urged.“According to Lady Hilda, the king isn’t handsome as he looked like a monster. She was never going to get married to him because he killed all his wives,” she said.“I don’t understand.” everyone shook their head.“What I meant was that Lady Hilda found favor in the eyes of the king and he instructed the lord to gift her to him if he wanted redemption,” she explained to them with a low voice, and my mouth opened in shock.“What?” I gasped.Matilda POV“Do you all take me for a fool?!” I barged into the living room where my parents and Hilda were watching a movie.They were stunned and confused as they focused their gazes on me.“What is the meaning of this?” my father fired in annoyance.I had just broken the last rule which was never to step into the living room except I was being called.“That beast asked to marry Hilda and not me. What kind of games are you all trying to play?” I asked them dolefully.I couldn’t act fierce and strong even if I wanted to. I was just like a human because I was extremely weak and wolf-less.“How dare you!” before I knew it, a slap landed on my face and I fell to the ground.“Mum…” I cried out.“You must be stupid enough to think you deserve my daughter’s spot,” she said in exasperation.“But I already have a mate. I love him and you all promised to bless our union based on the phone call, why did you lie to me?” I asked them angrily.“When will you get to realize that you are nothing but
Matilda POVIn conclusion, I had to leave. No one wanted me and even the person I had hoped to stick with forever betrayed me. I felt the best way to leave and start a new life - if it doesn’t get any worse.I looked at my face through the mirror as the makeup artist applied warm foundations on my face with the mascara brushing my lashes up. I couldn’t understand my feelings, and neither do I know what to say.My parents and everyone in the pack were happy, the deal will be sealed as long as I was given to the king as his gift. I also didn’t struggle with them, like a weak and stupid lady - I sold myself out.Hilda was asked to stay indoors until the whole process was done. As soon as I leave, she could resurface but at the moment she must stay in her room.The veil was covered on my face and I was asked to stand. I couldn’t help but gasp in admiration, I was loving beautiful, and attractive in the breathtaking gown. It wasn’t a regular wedding dress, the design and everything was mad
Matilda's POVThings ran faster than my mind could ever fathom or even catch up with. I was still on the ground when this man whom I was forced to marry walked out without caring to even know what the shape of my face was. What concerned him were just the things which were under the dress and he seemed so fiery to the extent I could tell that his demands were always met by anyone under him.I couldn't help but admit the rumors which were spread about him, around the entire pack. He was a beast, capable of ending lives with just a fierce stare.And as he walked away, I was pulled up from the ground furiously by another man by the arm, dragged out of his perfectly built room towards an unknown location."Hey…" I cried out in pain. It was thought he would rip off the arm from the socket and would leave me without any. Were they all so feisty in this part of the world? From master to slave?Soon he led me towards a room, opening the door and pushing me in as I fell face down to the ground
MATILDA'S POV I was led into another room, this particular room, unlike the one I had been locked in previously, looked even more eloquent, like that of a princess.I thought this was probably befitting of royalty, of the alpha's Luna.Unlike the other room, which had just a worn-out bed that creaked whenever one sat on it, this one looked polished and splendid. It had a queen-sized bed that was covered with a beautiful blanket with colorful decorations.The room itself was painted with two beautiful colors which made it a beauty to behold.Unlike the other room which had a hard cemented floor, this particular room was tiled with a beautiful tile that made the place look like a small heaven.At one corner was a dressing mirror, and in front of it stood a dressing stool and a dressing table.I looked around in awe as soon as we got into the room. Momentarily, I forgot about my predicament, it looked like the beauty of the place had wiped my sorrow for a moment."This way ma'am." One o
MATILDA'S POV Adrenaline rushed through me, and the blood rushed through my veins in such a hurry like they were in a contest on who would arrive at my neck first, to choke me to death.She gave me a small smile and squeezed my hand in hers before she finally walked away, closing the door softly behind her.I shivered the moment I heard the door closed.I had heard many doors close in my lifetime, but never had I been this nervous and terrified at the close of a door. Not even on days when my parents would lock me up for days and offer me food from underneath the door like a dog.At this point, hearing the door locked, I was certain that this was really it.There was no going back, not even a chance to run away.I laughed at my silly thought, it was painful laughter.It was a hard truth, I could not escape, not even if I wanted to.Alpha Moses is the strongest Alpha known with a very strong army that could take me down in an instant, and I was just a feeble wolf-less girl that could
MATILDA'S POV He held onto a part of my cloth and pulled it until it tore open, baring me in front of him.My instinct in a situation like this would usually be to recoil, and then my arms would fly into the defensive and cover myself from him. But somehow, I could not bring myself to do it.Maybe it was the great fear I had for him.I watched as his hungry eyes devoured my naked body, he licked his lips involuntarily as his eyes scanned my bare chest.I felt my chest rising and falling, and my skin tingled with each look his hungry eyes gave my bare body. Soon I was feeling hot all over.I thought I was going to faint anytime soon.Still, I could not bring myself to hide from him It was not like I could do what I wanted to, though. He was a powerful man and was capable of crushing me within seconds. So I stayed still.I almost jumped out of my skin when I suddenly felt his hands move up my arms, caressing them in such a way that felt sensual. It felt wrong, yet at the same time, it
MOSES'S POV I was coming out from the gym in my palace when I was informed by one of the palace's maidens that my orders had been carried out, the woman had been prepared and was waiting for me in my room.I licked my lips in anticipation, I had been told by her father that she was untouched. I looked forward to being the one to defile her. Doing that always gave me a kind of feeling of fulfillment, it always reminded me of the amount of power I controlled.Yes, I always go to the gym. I have a gym in my palace where I often go to work out to keep fit. Even though I was the alpha king and commanded a lot of power, I still needed to maintain my good looks.Plus, going to the gym would also help to build my power and make me more powerful.I let out a lopsided smile as I stretched my hand and collected the towel that was being passed to me by one of my concubines. She tried to rub my chest, but I forcefully pulled her hand away. This was not time for that, I did not have the time for h
MATILDA'S POV I opened the door with shaky hands, fearing that there could be people out there who would see my nakedness.I was scared that I would bare myself completely before the people out there, but still, I was scared of staying still in the room because I feared what he could do to me if I remained there.I walked slowly outside, looking around and feeling ashamed of myself that the house would see my nakedness.But much to my relief, the very moment I stepped outside, a white piece of cloth, which was enough to cover the torn parts of my cloth, was put over my shoulders.I turned to the part the cloth had come from and saw one of the two women that had prepared me earlier standing there with me.She smiled at me and gestured to me that we should go."Come with me," she said with a soft, calm voice.I followed after her and let her lead me, she put her arms around my shoulder and we walked till we got to the room they had prepared for me earlier.She opened the door and led m
