Return of the scarred Luna

Ariana's pov

" You have to marry him, Ariana!," my father said for the upteenth time,eyes blaring red and brows arched creating deep lines on his forehead.

" No! father I-will-not."my lips forming the last few words, eyes locked with his angry ones.

Taking three big strides to close the distance between us,I stood my ground tho my knees were buckling,his gaze lingered over my frame,the visible veins on his forehead were the clear evidence of how angry he was. 

He swallowed hard,taking a deep breath, " you know I want the best for you right? I just want you to have the best." His deep green eyes softened as they stared into mineHe held my hand gently and said, "Can you just marry Alpha Alan? He is a great man, trust me and he will even be crowned the Alpha In the next full moon."

If it was any other request I would have yes and cheaply accepted but no..not this, I shook my hand away from his hold and stepped back" that is my final decision father, I won't marry him."I stared at the wooden floors avoiding his gaze

I was expecting him to leave me alone and probably try to convince me another time but I thought wrong,a glass flew across the room in my direction,barely missing me..my eyes widened in fear.

" Why are you Soo dumb and rebellious!? No one wants to marry you because you are ugly,take a good look at your face! and here you are, giving me a hard time. Do you know how hard it was to convince John to bethrot you to Alan?" He lashed out angrily,venom spilling from every word.

My hands involuntarily went to half of my face that was burnt and a lone tear escaped from my eye,to the ground,feet glued to its spot.

He must have seen how much he broke me,cause his gaze softened with guilt and he carefully matched towards me, "Ari..i..I didn't mean.."he tried to touch me but I was quick to move,slapping his hands away.

I cleared my throat and spoke up, " you want me to marry Alan right? I will do that, when is our mating ceremony?"I asked in a low tone, weak with fear and as much as my burning throat could let out.

He gave me a doubtful gaze but still answered nevertheless, " It will hold on the day of Alan's coronation as the Alpha."

My thoughts wandered off and I recalled that he did mentioned that it was in the next full moon which was...

" In the next three days? And I am just being informed?" I questioned loudly, almost screaming. My father didn't give me any response.

"We will be leaving tomorrow to the castle,the maids wil get you ready"his face void of emotions but his eyes had a glint of guilt.

Another round of tears blurred my vision as I found my way to my room,I gathered my knees in my hands and let out all tears, I had been holding.

I cried till I was numb,didn't even notice time go by, a knock came on my door and 4 unfamiliar faces entered before I could welcome them in, my gaze ran  across the room and finally landed on the last person who was my father. 

" Who are they?"

" They are here for your measurement, you need to get some clothes ready," he explained. I didn't refute him and allowed all the people to do whatever they wanted to do with me.

After what felt like hours, they all matched out of the room, leaving me to the realization that I am about to start a new life.

" Congratulations on your mating ceremony Ariana," the last woman greeted me and dropped her gift basket, I gave her a smile and thanked her before she left.
