CHAPTER ONE
Lily's pov
My shaken legs could no longer repel the pressure charged in the room. My entire life had changed the alternate the words" mate" left my lips. I gripped onto the white pillar in the courtroom for support, the cutter- edged pressure within the court growing brutal by the alternate. Our pack soldiers were behind their nascence, Wardlow, no doubt set to attack, just in case a fight managed to break out with the soldiers from the noctambulist Pack. My father, Wardlow, was in a heated discussion with Alpha Harrow about me. It was funny as hell how the battle a second ago about my father transferring hellions to the noctambulist Pack soon changed into an violent discussion between my father, nascence of the tableware tail Pack, and Alpha Harrow of the noctambulist Pack, my mate. It still feels like a dream to me how my entire life changed for the worse within a nanosecond. It was as if the macrocosm abominated me, and the moon goddess despised me. At that moment, he was then, Alpha Harrow, charging in with a troop of his soldiers into our pack, with fury stalking his modes, and also, to my maximum unbelief, he happed to be my fated mate. I heeded further to their discussion; neither of them was ready to take a rest. My father could not do better to hide his satisfaction in transferring me off with the adversary. For some reason, Harrow kept refusing me, nearly as if he was rejecting me. Indeed though I am relatively habituated to people's rejection, I have endured it first- hand with my father, the ignominious Wardlow. Harrow's rejection hurt me further than I'd like to admit. I mean, indeed though I just set up out he was my name, we participated a bond later each. Father and Harrow looked at each other like they were a alternate from boggling the other, as they kept deciding my fate like I was not indeed in the room. This was about me, yet Harrow hadn't cast a alternate regard on me. It transferred a piercing pain to my casket. " As you wish, Alpha Wardlow, I'll take her down," Harrow spoke with ease, but there was commodity about the way he counted those words that made me cringe. It was cold and threatening. It could nearly be called a phenomenon that the courtroom still remained calm. Every pack in the home was apprehensive of the embedded abomination between both packs. They both had the largest packs in all of the North, and my father did not like it one bit. He was a dictator nascence and a beast who feed on packs, annihilating them and stealing their lands. That was the type of nascence my father was. And Harrow was bruited to be no different I was forced to shake off my studies when Alpha Wardlow was over on his bases. He smiled darkly after one last horrible regard at me. That smile of his has visited my every awakening. " She's yours after all. You may take her!" He glanced at me. He noway treated me like his son. My times growing up within the walls of the Packhouse have been the nonfictional description of the term" hell!'. In that hellish state, the only thing that kept me going was chancing my mate. I always heard stories from the retainers about the mate bond and its undying love. I always supplicated for a mate, indeed though deep down I knew my chances were nil. Unlike utmost wolves that were blessed with their wolf mate at sixteen, mine noway came. So, it was unthinkable that I would be given a mate. My legs eventually gave up, collapsing against the pillar which could no doubt feel my plight. Harrow address was cold, dominating, and indeed bogarting. His eyes gauged me, regarding me. I felt uncomfortable under his cold regard. The cold mask he'd worn didn't allow me an suggestion of his true studies. " Tell her to be prepared. I will shoot someone to take her before dusk." Harrow's horrible eyes fell on me. Indeed just by gaping at me, one could see the cold glacial that were aimed at my throat. How could I conceivably be slept to him? I nearly heaved . I was fudging right there, yet he was ignoring me. " That will not be necessary, she can leave with you." My father was in fact excited to shoot me down with him. Just like that, like a terrible agony, what little things I possessed in this place that noway sounded like home were whisked by the retainers. My steed was ladened for me, and my little things were all packed up by the retainers, and I was literally shoved out by my father. We began the lift to the noctambulist Pack, my new home. Harrow was beside me, on my left wing was his beta, and the other soldiers traced before. We rode in absolute silence on our way to the noctambulist Pack. Indeed when I forced myself to say commodity, what saluted me was a brutal silence and a murderous light from him. So, I decided it was stylish to keep mute rather. The uncomfortable silence dallied for hours as we rode past the mountains, to the other side of the south, into the capital, which I heard was under his home. After a while, we arrived at the notorious nightrider Pack, known for everything it stood for. We rode a many further and we arrived at a castle. It was beautiful from the outside. Like nothing that I have seen ahead, it was truly beautiful
