Chapter1
Marcella's Pov.
"Father, what do you mean by I'll be going to the Lycan kings' abode tomorrow? Is there a message I'm supposed to deliver there? Because everyone knows how gruesome that man is!." I emphasized as my dad just broke the news that I'll be going to the Lycan king's pack.
That man was all shades of dark and evil and even the sound of his name made my feet tremble.
"Marcella, you're going to be a member of his pack!." Father announced in a defiant tone as he folded his fist like he was being forced to speak.
Oh damn!! This is a joke, right? Oh, it has to be a joke!!!!
"That can't be true right? I mean, oh mum, say something...." I was persuaded as I saw the scrunched-up look plastered on my dad's face.
He only kept that face when he was serious about something but what the hell was that?
"Baby, the lycan king has just demanded to take possession of you," Mum announced avoiding my eyes.
"Oh please spare me all the words, you're literally selling me off to the lycan king." I cried out in despair, shoving my hands into my hair in frustration.
"You had better start preparing yourself mentally because his entourage would soon be here," Dad said and stood up from his throne, walking out like he had never cared for me in his whole life.
Someone should please tell me this isn't happening.
I had tried to survive all the contempt and humiliation I had faced in my pack, The Green Pack due to the fact that I was an Omega from an Alpha lineage.
But sold out to the Lycan king?? That was a little over the top.
My mom also stood up and exited the grand palace where we were all once seated but it wasn't before she gave me a pitiful long look.
Still contemplating on the twist that my life had just taken, I heard loud cries and cheers marking the presence of the lycan king in the Pack.
On impulse, I ran into my room and locked my door behind me.
I just wished this was all a nightmare that I was taking quite a long time to wake up from.
A few minutes later, I heard Mum knocking furiously at my door.
"Cella, you've got to come out now. We can't keep the Lycan king waiting!!." She warned thudding on my door and I could feel the defiance in her voice.
"I'm not going anywhere!!." I maintained my stance and then I didn't hear her knocks anymore.
I thought she had finally given up but her soft, calm voice came wafting into my ears.
"Marcella, you have to do this for the pack!." Mum pleaded still banging at my door.
"You and Dad sold me out just for your selfish desires!!." I yelled and that was the part that angered me the most.
"The Lycan king ordered that if you weren't given to him, he would demolish our pack and you know what that means." She stated and my heart broke.
It seemed my parents had no choice in this matter!!
If my father disagreed, he wouldn't only demolish the pack but my father's life would go as hell and so I questioned myself.
Refuting the lycan king... Was it really worth it?
Making up my mind to do this for my pack, I finally opened my door and started descending the stairs to see the lycan king I would be with.
"You can't go down that way!." Mum screamed and pulled me back.
Pulling me, she dragged me into her room... Ordered her maids to clean me up, dress me up, and prepare me.
After the preparations that I didn't see any importance, I was finally set to walk out.
I did a 360 in front of the mirror for the hundredth time and the damn truth was that I was unable to recognize myself.
I walked out anyway trailing my mum behind as I was offered to the lycan king.
I managed to keep my eyes low as my feet crumbled with every step I took.
Knowing fully well that this was the Lycan king, I refused to look up and see what he looked like because the picture I had created of him in my mind was too gruesome and I prefer that it remained in my memory.
"Stand in front of the lycan king, Marcella," Dad ordered, flashing a smile that I knew he wasn't feeling.
Everything about that smile sure looked fake but I had no other option other than to obey the instructions that had been given to me.
I walked over to the lycan king, standing directly in front of him with my head bent.
"Now introduce yourself to him!." Dad stated and I opened my mouth but no sound was forthcoming. Fear must have choked my words deep inside my throat.
"I'm... I'm Marcella Hazan." I announced and the minute it left my mouth, I knew that it was a lame thing to say anyway.
He must have already known my name by now!
"Look me in the eye when you speak to me!!!." He growled and my whole being melted.
The hoarseness of his voice alone depicted that of a pure demon.
Just like I was compelled to act, I raised my gaze and met him and it took all my self-control for me not to start screaming out in fear.
"You'll make a very fine slave." He said with a smirk at the corner of his lips and my whole world immediately stopped spinning.
It wasn't just sold out, it was sold out as a slave... A damned slave!!!!
"What?." I asked immediately, regretting the next instant the words fell out.
"We had better start planning the wedding arrangements!." One of the elders that came with the Lycan King spoke up and it only made me drown in my confusion more.
Who was getting married?
