Betrothed to the Alpha

Kurty's POV My name is Kurty Kendell , I just turned 22 years old, I live at Wolf-city. I'm a nurse tonight leaving the hospital I park my car in front of the house surprised to see that I was plunged into darkness. Entering the living room, I turn on the light and I see my father dozing lightly, troubled by the light he suddenly revealed himself, his irises as black as mine Staring at me strangely. -Kurty you already home. -yes, dad. It's eight o'clock. I look at the rooms in the house and ask my father why there was such a cold atmosphere. Usually he was in front of the TV watching a game, without forgetting his usual cheerfulness when I came home. He didn't answer right away, his eyebrows furrowing i noticed that my dad seething with anger. -dad, what is it ? Why are you making this face ? He gives me a letter saying, -this afternoon the alpha of the city came to our house opens the letter and you will understand. I grab the letter with a shaky hand, wondering why the alpha was here in our house. I don't understand how such a thing could happen. I lived in Wolf-City for a long time we were always careful not to come across its monster. They allow themselves to come to people's homes without their consent, but what nerve. I hate wolves so much because they are selfish and heartless beings, they kill without any qualms. I remember few years ago how a wolf killed a man who begged for mercy, his voice is still in my head when I see one. Beings as wicked and bloodthirsty do not deserve to live with human and to think that she has even seen humans bond with them, I sighed in annoyance then finally decides to open the letter, Dear Kurty, my sweet betrothed I've been watching you for a long time I think it's time for you to join my wolf pack as your mother promised me before she died. You're my soul mate and my betrothed, me Liam Ford I claim you as Luna of the pack. A promise is a promise and I never forget anything. In two days a ball will be organized in my Villa it's the best time for wolves to find a soul mate, a car will pick up you at 7:30 PM, I don't accept any refusal from you. -oh my Gosh I exclaimed, stifling a cry of amazement with my hands. You can still dream, he really thinks he can afford anything this Alpha. No, I'm not the alpha's betrothed much less his soul mate. There must be a monumental mistake about this. I look at my father's face, he kept his head down sign that he knew something that I didn't. -dad, what's that promise my mom made to the alpha ? Why he calls me his betrothed and his Luna saying that I'm also his soul mate ? -you mother before dying asked me not to tell you about it without the alpha coming to claim you as his Luna. He's right Kurty you are his soul mate et his betrothed. I think it's time for you to know the whole truth. I feel like I'm going to pass out because my legs can't carry me anymore. I need a support and let myself fall on the sofa to my right. His gaze lands on me then lowers his head again, frankly I don't understand his behavior. What promise did my mother make to the alpha. My father was so upset never before have I seen it like this. -You were 16 when the son of the then alpha recognized you as his luna and he told his father everything. He came to our house right away, he wanted to bring you back with him for his son Liam but you were too young and we objected in return your mother hired you to Liam and made him the promise that when you were 22 you could join his pack then she erased your memory. -she erased my memory but how ? -with magic, she was a witch and so are you. You are the last witch of his line, they were killed by witch hunters. -you think I'm in danger from the witch hunters ? -no, they disappeared years ago. I feel immediately reassured by this words, he continues to talk look at me sadly. -I'm sorry I couldn't find another solution, but it was the only way Liam could leave you alone. I can't do anything now to stop it. My brain takes a long time to analyze this information. I stand up abruptly startling my father. -i refuse to obey the will of this Alpha, I hate them all they are only bloodthirsty beings. -Kurty... -no dad nothing will make me change my mind and not even your danm promise to the alpha. I got up to my room closing the door behind me, I fall miserably on my bed crying. My life couldn't have been more wonderful than right now. Me, the betrothed of an Alpha, seriously ! I don't understand why fate is hounding my poor person. What did I do to deserve such a thing to be the soul mate of a shitty Alpha. I pick up my phone and decide not to feel sorry for myself anymore, I'm going to meet my best friends tonight at one of the hottest clubs in town, Anna and Ethan. We are childhood best friends without them I would have already plunged into despair when my mother died. Tonight I wanted to decompress the story of everything forgotten though alcohol and dance. I call Ethan but he doesn't pick up I guess he's hitting on a girl. I try with Anna and she answers me on the first ring. -hi, Kurty I'm surprised you called me on a Thursday night usually you're tired after work. -it's true but I want to party tonight otherwise I won't be able to forget it. She lets out a cry that could deafen someone too close then asks me. -you met someone didn't you ? I want to know everything. -don't get too carried away, it's a bit complicated. I'll tell you everything once you get to the club. -i'll wait for you then. Hurry up she hummed those last sentences and I can't but laugh. I hang up get ready to go to the club, I decide to put on my best clothes and shoes, my kinky medium length hair feel on my shoulders, once finished I look at the satisfied result. I was wearing a pretty red dress and black pumps, my cheekbone face was adorned with simple make-up that brought out my ebony complexion. I go down to the living room there was not a living soul, my father was probably already asleep at this late hour. I start my car in the direction of the club. As soon as I see Anna and Ethan in front of the club I keep my car then join them. -wow you're beautiful complimented me Ethan, I would like to know the chosen one who managed to steal your heart. Anna told me you met the perfect man. -Anna you're exaggerating, I retorted glaring at her. She blinked apologetically. Anyway I find it hard to blame my best friend for not being able to hold her tongue in front of Ethan who is also my best friend. I smile and roll my eyes, we return to the club and we are hit by invigorating music that breaks our eardrums and despite the huge crowd that reigned on the dance floor we manage to make our way through the crowd to the VIP area. -i want to know everything started Anna excited. -we need champagne first to celebrate this event interrupts him hailing the waiter to bring some champagne. -what exactly are we celebrating, I asked confused looking at them in turn. Guys it's not what you think i haven't met anyone i just found out i was engaged to... The arrival of the server bringing a tray made me stop continuing my words, he put it in front of me so that I was the only one to see. "Don't tell anyone about your soul mate relationship" order of Alpha Liam" I gulped, my gaze meeting the waiter's, I guess it was a werewolf who is probably a member of his pack. I take a glass of champagne and drink it in a rush after the server leaves under the shocked gaze of my friends. Tonight I opted for a quiet evening without alcohol at the last minute now I just changed my mind. I left my room hoping to forget him but he sent one of his monsters to remind me. - what's wrong Kurty? -You really want to know I retorted in a broken voice I am engaged to a monster. I go to the bar and order a strong alcohol, the liquid burns my throat but tonight I didn't give a damn. That damn alpha put me under surveillance, that was all it needed. My friends join me trying to reason with me but I'm completely off the mark after a glass of alcohol. I leave them to head for the dance floor when a nuanced music reaches me I start dancing under the lascinating rhythm of the music moving my whole body on the other hand in a movement too abrupt I stumble under the effect of alcohol I was already preparing to accept my fall on the floor when two strong hands held me by the waist helping me to get up. -are you OK ? - yes thank you. - are you drunk? -Take care of your onions. He burst out laughing, and that laugh was so sweet and wonderful that it made my heart beat unreasonably fast. He helped me steady myself and then pressed his body against mine. A hand on my waist I let myself go in the softness of his arms under the slow music that had just covered the room. My hands slipped in spite of myself in his wavy and short hair. My body shivered with pleasure as he placed his lips on the crook of my neck as tingles warmed my skin. Who was this man to awaken in me feelings unknown and so marvelous ? I feel him detach quickly from me, I turn in the hope of seeing him among the couples dancing on the floor but he seemed to vanish. I join my friends who, however, made no comment given my embarrassment and then dropped me off at home. I go back to my room take a good shower before plunging into the arms of Morpheus troubled by the wonderful sensations I felt in the arms of this stranger.
