Life was perfect, until it wasnt.
My life was perfect everything was going great. I had it all! I was the first born daughter of Luna Charlotte and Alpha Roberto, I have a brother Jason 1 year younger than me, Hes obviously in line to be this packs next alpha on his 18th birthday and Dad is so proud of him, But my Mother and Father adored me. I was their first successful pregnancy after a tragic ,miscarriage and almost 10 years of trying. Mom wanted to call me miracle but dad said that was a ridiculous name. We were rich beyond belief and had everything we could ever want. Unfortunately my Father was also a very proud man, and very stubborn. As his only son would be Alpha in the next couple of years, He decided it would be only right if i was a Luna, now obviously i wasn't going to marry my brother. My father had other ideas, Ideas that neither me nor my Mother agreed with. But daddy dearest had made up his mind, i Was to marry the Alpha of one of fathers ally packs. This was not going to happen, no way, not over my dead body!!!
Lucys POV.
"I WONT BE FORCED TO MARRY A MAN IVE NEVER MET, HES 20 YEARS OLDER THAN ME DAD ITS GROSS!!!" i screamed unable to control the tidal wave of tears streaming down my face.
"The deal has already been made Lucy i will not hear any more on the subject. You will marry Alpha Tom the day before your 18th birthday. That is final." Said Alpha Roberto in a very nonchalant tone.
Dad left the room and all i could do was cry uncontrollably. I dont want to be married off like an object, Dad has always treated me so well. I don't understand how he can do this to me, im His daughter do my feelings not matter? Why is my Mother not stopping this! I believe in waiting to find your mate, not just marrying any old werewolf! I know that mom and dad weren'tmates they were childhood sweethearts that stayed together, maybe thats why dad doesnt understand. I need to figure out a way to stop this, i cant do this...
Days have passed and my birthday is approaching fast! i have 20 days to figure out what im going to do, talking to dad is like speaking to a brick wall he wasn't kidding when he said he wouldn't speak about it anymore, and as for my Mother its the same response overtime i try to speak about it " Just do as your father asks dear Lucy hes doing it for you". Doing it for me? what could i possibly gain from this? The Luna title plus Trauma? No thanks ill pass.
Jason has tried to be supportive telling me maybe it wont be so bad and that maybe ill fall in love with the man. I appreciate him trying to console me but i don't want to hear that, I feel like im trapped in a nightmare.
After begging and pleading every day with no avail, its the night before im supposed to marry Fathers friend. I haven't eaten today, Ive spent most of the day throwing up. Mother came to check on me once, Father walked past the bathroom and sighed with a slight sad look in his eyes. I feel so many emotions, sadness, anger and so much confusion.
I head to my bedroom and close the door, i lay on my bed knowing that sleep will not come to me tonight. My eyes are heavy but my heard keeps racing. I lay awake until 7am When i hear a knock at the door.
"hello?" i said with a croak from crying and throwing up.
"Its me sweetie its time to get ready for the big day" I hear mom say.
"mom i cant do..." I try to make one last pleading attempt to my mother as she walks through the door, eyes heavy and teary, she cuts me off.
"Lucy i know how you feel, i know this isn't what you want but this is what your father wants for you and i cant argue with him. It has to be this way Lucy its what was promised when..." she cuts her self off short, regret in her eyes.
"what do you mean? when what?" i ask curiously.
"erm i mean it was promised by your father when he spoke with tom last year, come on lets get you ready" She changed the subject so quickly, is she hiding something? she never stumbles her words like that.
Mom is curling my hair while im sobbing, begging her to speak to dad. She says nothing but a tear slips down her cheek, she quickly wipes it away but i saw it in the mirror. Why is she emotional shes not being married off.
All the guests have arrived and im waiting in the house, the ceremony is being performed in the back garden of our property. Everyone is seated and the music has started, Dad gives me a nudge as i hold his arm, with tears in my eyes we descend down the makeshift isle, The decorations are beautiful and so is my dress, this would be perfect if it was my with my mate not a stranger to me that i was promised to.
We stop at the archway and dad lets go of my arm, I feel as if im going to throw up again, except there is nothing left to throw up. Dads friend tom is looking straight at me, He looks me in the eyes and smirks then his eyes trail down my body and back up, stopping at my breasts for an uncomfortable amount of time, he lets out a low growl licking his lips. "mm yes Roberto she will do nicely" He said to my dad rubbing his hands together. I feel sick, Hes a creep. The priest begins the vowels and Tom says his, while staring at my breasts, I want to crawl inside my own body and hide. "lucy? your turn, repeat after me. " By the moon that guides us promise to devote myself to Alpha tom for the rest of my life" I stare blankly at my dad he nods at me to go ahead.
"By huh the moon..." im trembling, i cant even force the words out. "LUCY" my dad calls from behind me, waving his hand gesturing for me to continue. "by the moon that guides us i uhhh i... I CANT DO THIS IM SO SORRY DAD" i Start sobbing uncontrollably, All the guest Gasp and start whispering between themselves. "Roberto we had a deal" Tom said angrily his eyes black with rage. " LUCY SAY THE VOWS" Dad shouted "NO I WILL NOT BE FORCED INTO MARRIAGE" i said with a raised voice still crying. "ROBERTO IVE WAITED 17 YEARS FOR THIS BRAT TO GROW UP, YOU PROMISED SHE WOULD BE MINE" tom roared at my Father. "WHAT? Mom? Dad? what does he mean?" i screamed with frustration and confusion. "LUCY SAY YOUR VOWS TO ALPHA TOM NOW OR YOU WILL NO LONGER BE A PART OF THIS PACK OR THIS FAMILY, YOU WILL BE BANASHED!!!" dad growled at me, i stood their in shock, is that how much i mean to him? im that disposable? why is this so important to him? im so confused. Without even thinking i run, i can hear mom sobbing calling my name but i just keep running until off pack im lands and in the woods... "Sh*t what have i done? Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t" i start to panic what am i going to do? i fall to the ground and all i can do is cry, i cried until my eyes got so heavy. I was exhausted, the lack of sleep and food had took its toll on me as i drifted off into the darkness of a deep sleep...
