" Do I really need to do this mom?" I asked, my eyes glued to the mirror watching myself in the white dress, I thought I would be happy or over the moon when I wore this dress but right now all I feel is dread and regret.
Regret for not marrying my fated mate but rather marrying my chosen mate.
We don't have any other option than me sacrificing my mate and my happiness for our pack and I will happily do anything and everything for my pack.
" I'm so sorry that we are putting you in this tough situation honey. If it is in our hands we will never let you sacrifice yourself." My sweet mother put her hands on my shoulders hugging me from behind while I'm sitting on the stool like a happy bride but I am not.
" Why is he so cruel, mom! Doesn't he know what mates are and what mate bonds are! Why did he choose me?" I asked, still in the schock from the way my life has turned upside down.
" I don't know darling. Rumors say he doesn't have a heart and is ruthless but I hope the moon goddess always protects you from his wrath." Her voice trembled but she is staying strong for me but everyone knows what my life is going to be.
Rhys Blackwood may not look like a literal monster but he is a monster who is snatching me away from my pack and the mate who may come and whisk me away if I don't get married to him but he does not let me have that moment.
We need his protection and help from the rogues who are gonna ambush my pack and kill everyone but as ruthless as he is named, he proved that by putting the condition of marrying me.
" I hope so too, mom." I whispered, feeling helpless and heartbroken but at the same time a relieved sigh escaped me at the thought that my pack is safe from those dirty mutts even if I have to bleed for the rest of my life.
" Wow! You look so beautiful." A feminine voice sounded behind us, startling both of us. When I turned around a very striking and beautiful she-wolf was standing at the door with her eyes shining with admiration and a big grin on her pink lips.
" Um! Thank you." I said, a genuine smile replacing my scowl.
" Iam Vanessa! Female beta of the pack and Miles's mate." she introduced herself with a proud glint in her eyes making the Jealous monster rear its head inside me.
Her Alpha snatched away my only chance at getting my mate. I shook my head to clear it as it is no one's fault but the man himself who is going to be my husband and Chosen mate.
" Come let's go. Everyone is waiting for you." She forwarded her hand waiting for me to take it but the anxiety and dread I was feeling since I heard about this marriage has increased tenfold and my body is alert in flight or fight mode.
My mom nudged my shoulder slightly, pulling me from my dilemma and I took Vanessa's hand with a small smile.
If she had seen my discomfort and sadness, she didn't let me know.
Three of us walked towards the doors and exited into the long hallway which was empty and cold.
I'm getting married in an old church which is located outside our pack. It screams old ghosts and vintage, I don't exactly know in which year it was built but it's so old that it creeps me out.
We slowly walked to the end of the hallway where my father was waiting for me. His eyes seem sad and filled with regret.
I Am the literal daddy's princess and it's killing him to give me away to someone who is not my mate. He first rejected Alpha Rhys's proposal and told him to never step foot in our pack but I pleaded and begged him to think about our pack and made him agree to this wedding.
" You look beautiful, Princess!" He took my hand from Vanessa's and held it tighter like he doesn't want to let go and wants to hide me away.
