My Cold Hearted Alpha Prince

Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3 - Raziela

I don’t remember what happened last night but when I came to. I was in a strange room; the light coming through the window as groaned. My head was lightheaded and everything seemed blurry.

“Mum?” I shouted, trying to sit up and my eyes meet broad shoulders, turning away from me.

Vanilla. Musky. f**k.

“You lived” Declan’s voice came as I rolled my eyes, sitting up on the bed. His voice was irritating so much that I hated it.

“What were you thinking, standing like that? You could have got yourself killed,” he stated as I pushed myself up to sit up.

“Says the person who disclosed something that he shouldn’t have. What are you doing here? Where’s my mother?” I questioned, trying to get my phone from the side table. And he approached the bed, his hands in his pockets.

“I will marry you,” He said to me as I swallow hard. What was he saying? He would marry me? I didn’t want this union as well.

I despised him.

Hated everything about him. His chiselled face made me want to throw up every time I saw him. The way his mouth moved whenever he spoke just irritated me.

“Really? Oh, how happy I am,” I sarcastically said to him as I tried to remove the IVs connected to my hand.

“Listen. You and I both want different things. I have a mate whom I love more than anything and, well, you might have one in the future, but I must fulfil.” He tried to lie to me, but what he doesn’t know is that even though I don’t have a wolf, I can tell apart the truth from a lie.

“Obligation? I am not a f*****g child. Your family must have threatened you or something,” I retorted as he growled, looking into my eyes as he comes closer to the bed

“I have to marry you, no matter what. And yes, I don’t want to marry you. But I need to protect someone I love. You may not understand this, but having a mate is like having the other part of you living within someone else,” He said as I swallow hard.

How could I ever know what it feels like to have a mate? Mine rejected me just when he discovered I didn’t have a wolf. He claimed that I was a broken mate and his family wouldn’t accept me,

He rejected me without thinking twice.

He didn’t even give me a chance to be with him or maybe wait for my 21st birthday if I could shift then.

“That’s none of my business. Why should I help you? I am telling my parents that I would never get married to such an arrogant asshole,” I retorted as he grabbed me by my arm, pulling me closer to him.

“Call me an asshole again and I will forget who you are we clear?” He tightened his grip on me as I looked at his perfect hazel with green flecks.

“What? Don’t like people who don’t bend to your will? Did I hurt your ego?” I raised my brows, acting shocked as he pulled me closer to him. His minty breath hit my nostrils.

“Wait till I marry you. You will fall in line,” he smirked as I pushed him away from me. He smirked, letting go of my arm as I stroked my wrist.

“By the way, here” He smiled, throwing a tablet on the bed after he unlocked it. ‘Jenkins and Stormborn engagement?” The headlines read as I looked at the pictures of me with my arms folded, dressed in a black dress while they edited Declan’s picture behind.

The picture was from the photo shoot that I did months ago for the foundation’s magazine.

“The parents already made arrangements for us:” he smirked as I gasped, looking at the screen. How could mom do something like this? This was unfair. Do they want me to get married to someone as cruel as Declan?

“f**k!” I growled, throwing the tablet towards the wall as he smirked. He seemed to be enjoying himself right now.

“I am the hero who saved their suicidal daughter. How could they not accept me?” He smirked, his eyes darkening as I heaved a sigh, staring into his eyes.

“I will see you at the engagement party” he turned on his heel as I brought my hand to my chest. How on earth did everything change so fast? Why didn’t Mum say anything to me before? My life was just turned upside down.

I grabbed my phone looking for a charger in the hospital room, as I plugged it in to check online what news was circulating.

Why did he think I was suicidal>? Is that what he told my parents? That asshole. I clenched my jaws as I unlocked my phone after it came on.

Such a betrayal. I thought Raziela was friends with Harper. She’s another w***e who used her parent's power to take him from his mate. How selfish of her.

I read all the replies in the group chat about me as I bit my lower lip. This wasn’t right. I didn’t do anything wrong. They were forced to be married to him.

“f**k!” I groaned typing Julie’s number as I try to call her, but she doesn’t pick up the first time. I remember how she would always say their lives would change for the better now that Harper was about to become a future Luna.

“Please pick up,” I mutter under my breath, but she wasn’t picking up. Had to go and see her. I can’t stay here. Just wait for her to pick up.

She was my friend and deserved to know the truth that I had nothing to do with this. It was all my parents and his parents.

“Going somewhere?” Mum asked after she came into my room, curiosity all over her face.

“I need to talk to Julie,” I responded, putting on the clothes that were in the bag on the couch. Julie would never forgive me for doing this to her cousin.

Harper might have been something else, but I know Julie loved her like a sister. They practically grew up like sisters.

“There’s nothing to talk about. You should be thinking about your engagement,” she said as I stop packing my stuff, turning to look at her.

“I am not getting married to that asshole.” I retorted, making myself clear as Mum scoffed.

‘Please don’t make this harder than it already is. Do you know the shame we have had to endure because you couldn’t tell me you had no wolf? Is that why you insisted on staying in those dorms?” She asked me as I paused, turning to look at her. This was just unbelievable.

She didn’t care about it. Or what caused me to do this? This was about them and their reputation.

“Did you ever stop to think about why I didn’t say anything to you?” I asked her, and she tilted her head, raising her eyebrows.

“You will never understand me,” I said to her, wanting to walk past her. I didn’t have the time or energy to argue with her.

“I am your mother. You should have told me. We could have found a solution together,” she insisted, coming closer to me as I scoffed, staring deep into her eyes.

“Like what you did with Paris?” I raised my eyebrows. She kept quiet, lowering her head as I pursed my lips together.

“Paris, it was different. She trying to change into something she’s not.” Mum tried to reason with me as I shook my head.

“No. She wanted to feel loved. That’s why she had to take her own life because of you and Dad,” I retorted, a lump forming in my throat as she looked away from me.

“I have to see Julie,” I stated before storming out of the room. I made my way out of the hospital trying to find an Uber.

As soon as I get in the taxi, I am making my way to Julie’s house. When I got out of the car, I made my way to the front door and I pressed the button.

“What do you want?” Harper was the one who opened the door, her eyes swollen, face turned red as I swallowed hard.

“I am sorry. I honestly didn’t know” I shook my head as she scoffed, coming out of the house.

“You act to be so naïve. Who the hell do you think you are?” She pushed me by the shoulder as I stepped back, not responding to her.

She was hurt.

Hurt by all this.

I understand her, I know I would be hurt if it happened to me.

“You probably went to Daddy crying for him like a toy” She pushed me again as I lowered my head. Letting the tears fall from my eyes.

“I am sorry,” I apologized to her as she scoffed.

“Sorry? Are you f*****g kidding me?” She pushed me so hard and I pissed my step, almost falling as she came closer.

“You are just another w***e. Look at you. A wolf less b***h trying to take what’s mine,” she barked as I swallowed hard, looking at Julie, who stood by the door with her arms folded.

“I will make sure you go through the same pain I am feeling. I will take away what you love the most. Just wait for me:” She pushed me again as I looked past her to glance at Julie.

“Julie,” I whispered, she is my best friend, and I hoped she will understand me.

“Please!” I tried to reason with her.

“You are no longer welcome here,” Julie started as I gasped, covering my mouth.

She didn’t mean that.

We have known each other since kindergarten. She wouldn’t do something like this over a misunderstanding.

“Please. Julie let me explain. I swear I didn’t know,” I pleaded with her, trying to go past Harper, but she pulled me back by my arm to look at her.

“Leave b***h! Because if you don’t. I don’t know what I will do,” she maintained as tears streamed down my face. I looked at Julie, who turned on her heel, walking away as I clenched my fists.

“I’m sorry” I curtly bowed my head before turning on my heel as I walked away. Was money and reputation the only thing my parents cared about?

What about their children’s happiness? I inwardly asked myself as I stroked my chest. I lost my best friend just like that and it was because of my parents.
