Turned Rogue

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

Luna strolled through the moonlit forest, her senses heightened by the night. The cool breeze whispered through the trees, carrying the scent of pine and earth. As a werewolf, Luna felt at home in the wilderness. She relished these moments of solitude, away from the prying eyes of the human world.

She twirled in excitement,"Mother Nature sure is beautiful tonight", she thought to herself,But fate had other plans for her that night. As she ventured deeper into the forest, Luna's sharp ears picked up on a distant rustling. Curiosity piqued, she followed the sound until she stumbled upon a clearing.

There, bathed in the soft glow of the moon, stood an unclad fellow staring deep into Luna's soul.Its a female but I just couldn't wrap my head around why she is in the forest at this hour and why she is staring at me.Her dark hair fell messily over her forehead, and her eyes sparkled with a mixture of wonder and fear. Luna's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met, a mix of emotions flooding through her.

Maya, a fellow werewolf, had unknowingly wandered into Luna's territory.She had heard tales of Luna's encounters with humans but never expected to come across her in the flesh. Luna, torn between her loyalty to her pack and the urge to find out who this strange female is, chased her through the forest.

" What are you doing here?" Luna asked, her voice filled with concern.

Maya hesitated, her gaze shifting from Luna to the ground. "I couldn't stay away. I heard rumors of a human in our territory, and I had to see for myself."

Luna's heart sank. She knew that their pack's rules forbade any contact with humans, as it could jeopardize their existence. Yet, here they were, standing face to face with a choice that could alter their lives forever.

Just as Luna was about to speak, a twig snapped in the distance. Their attention turned to the sound, and they both knew that their decision would have to wait. Another werewolf, a stranger, emerged from the shadows, his eyes gleaming with a mix of curiosity and suspicion.

"Who are you two? And what are you doing in my territory?" the stranger growled.

Luna and Maya exchanged a glance,"we mean no harm",Luna stated.

With uncertainty in her voice, Maya replied, "We're just trying to protect what's ours. And it seems like you've stumbled into something bigger than you can handle."

The stranger's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Well, then tonight's meal is definitely fine! Two lost females and one is unclad what a befitting meal this will be he said as he walked to and fro fixing his gaze on both of them.

Luna felt her wolf at its peak ready for war but she tried to silence it and as soon as Maya's wolf came to life hers purged out too without warning for the very first time.

Maya jumped on the young man and in a few seconds his remains were littered all over.For the first time in a long time Luna didn't have to be the one to lead a full attack.

"What kind of wolf is she?" Luna thought to herself, still amazed by the scene that just unfolded before her very eyes.

Slowly Maya morphed back to her original.

Wow, Maya! That was incredible! I've never seen someone shift and attack with such ferocity. You truly are a force to be reckoned with.

Maya's eyes sparkled with a mix of pride and excitement. "I've been training for a while now, honing my skills as a werewolf. I never thought I'd have to use them in a situation like this, but I'm glad I could protect us."
