MARRIED TO ALPHA'S BROTHER

Josie's pov Mayfair, A small town surrounded by trees and wild animals, where the Rodriguez family calls the shots, even your life is not yours. Sitting in front of the mirror, I was grinning like a fool. And the reason? My marriage was finally happening with Gabriel Rodriguez. *Knock *Knock "Which hairstyle do you want, Madam?" My maid inquired. "Gabriel likes it when I tie my hair up!" My lips mumbled with shyness. "Yes, Madam!" She came closer and started doing my hair. . . . Gabriel Rodriguez, the most powerful Alpha of the Blackstone clan, and my first love. His family holds great power in our clan and is very strict when it comes to their prominence. Luckily, Gabriel's father, Wyatt Rodriguez was friends with my father, Milan Garcia. And thanks to their connection, we also became close. It was pure friendship, but slowly my heart started to tilt towards him as if he was pulling me under his charms. However, it didn't take me long to realize my feelings!! When we were only 15 years old, I was attacked by a group of thirsty wolves and Gabriel saved me from them without considering his own life. He was badly injured in the fight, yet he only appeared to be worried about me. Maybe it was that moment… When I realized my true feelings for him and ever since that day, my shadow never left his side. For me, he became my dream. Everyone in the clan knew about my love for Gabriel, except him!! I never expected much from him, just a few words from him were enough to stay delighted. That was until… His father fixed our marriage!!! Even though my soul was happy, my heart was edgy for Gabriel's answer. Surprisingly, he said yes! . . . His attitude after our engagement completely changed, he became more compassionate and interested in me. Everything felt like a dream, a dream I always wanted to live with him. *Deep breath Two days ago, Gabriel's father perished and he took over his position in the clan, instead of his older brother who is more of a troublemaker. Even though the shock was devastating, our marriage was proceeding as planned. Maybe he was eager to fulfill his father's last wish. . . . "Madam, you're looking gorgeous." She praised my wedding dress. "Thank you, Mia." My soft tone conveyed gratitude. "Shall we go downstairs?" She asked with a smile. "Before that, I want to talk to Gabriel." Having said that, my feet stepped out of my room. . . . When my feet reached in front of his door, it was already open. Without giving it much thought, I opened the door and footed inside… Only to see him with my sister, Ruby!!! They were kissing each other like lovers and even failed to notice my presence in the room. On our wedding day, how could he? "Gab-riel!" My stuttering voice uttered his name. They halted!!! He slowly turned his head in my direction and glared straight into my eyes, Ruby did the same. "Why are you here?" His husky voice questioned. Instead of apologizing, he was questioning my presence!!! "That's my sister!" Tears rolled down my eyes. "So what?" He squeezed Ruby's soft palm. I was completely speechless!!! "You don't love me?" My sobbing voice wanted to hear from him. *Chuckles "Love?" "You're not even my type, Josie!" "Why are you acting like this?" My heart was shattered. *Sigh "My father wanted you as his daughter-in-law, but I never loved you!" The truth was revealed before me, whereas all the lies crumbled down. "Ruby is the one for me, you were never my choice!" "Gabriel had to pretend for the sake of his father!" My sister who is good at everything and is blessed with the face of a goddess was always everyone's first choice. Her red hair that falls on her pretty shoulders is like waves of the ocean which turns her into a painting that everyone desires. On the other hand, everything about me was ordinary!!! Even though my existence was compared to her all the time, I was never once envious of her. But today, she provoked a certain jealousy inside me which my heart never felt before!!! Why is it always her? "Are you even my sister?" My voice groaned angrily. "Don't raise your voice at her!" Gabriel groaned back and shook every pillar in the room. "I will tell everyone how you cheated on me with my sister!" My words threatened both of them. "Really?" A smirk arose on the corner of his mouth. He grabbed my wrist and dragged me downstairs with him. "Let me go!" My lips were screeching, yet his feet didn't stop. As we reached the wedding hall… He pushed me onto the floor in a semblance of so many eyes. "What are you doing?" Father came to my consent. "I no longer wish to marry her!" He declared it openly to our whole clan. "What?" Father was shocked. Ruby came downstairs and stood beside Gabriel as they made their relationship official. "I will marry Ruby, and that's final." "But…" Father tried to object. "Either your daughter or your clan?" Gabriel gave him a choice. Father sealed his mouth with silence and took steps back from me. "Father?" My eyes widened. "Mother, say something!" I begged her. But my parents abandoned me without hesitation!!! Gossip started flowing through the crowd and my sight became a laughing stock in everyone's eyes. Not a single person came forward to object against Gabriel's decision because according to them, he did the right thing. My sister suited him more than me!!! "Josie Garcia, you are no longer welcome here, so please leave while I'm being nice!" He commanded. "I have nowhere to go!" Fear crawled over my body. "Guards!" He shouted. The guards rushed to me at once and aggressively clutched both my arms. "Gabriel, Please!" "Gabriel!" "Father!" "Mother, say something!" In the blink of an eye, I was tossed out of my clan in the heavy rain. The bun my maid tied fell on my shoulder and my white wedding dress was no longer beautiful, it was shrouded with mud. My dream was broken, and so was my soul!!! *** Meanwhile… Gabriel's pov I called Leo in and latched the door from inside. "Kill her!" My voice commanded. "But you already threw her out!" He was perplexed. "She might ask for help from the other clans!" *Deep breath "I don't want any trouble since I just inherited the throne!" "Yes, Alpha!" He bowed his head.
