The Alpha's Chosen Bride

Getting ready for the wedding.

Lisa's POV

After I had tried to convince the elders. They managed to listen to me and take my story. Soon I convinced them to convince Ethan's Beta. Because I already heard they are best friends. And if they pressure him enough, he might convince Ethan to get married.

And soon after, an Email from Ethan saying that he will get married. And now as it seems everything is going according to plan. Now I can only hope for the best.

After hours of convincing, Natasha finally agreed. And the wedding is happening as soon as the next morning.

“Where's your girl," William's wife Molly, asks as she sees me approaching.

“She will be arriving a little bit late," I say. “Remember she still needs her wedding dress, “ I remind her.

" Hopefully she doesn't run away, “ she mutter. I almost want to roll my eyes.

" We should be preparing for the wedding. And hope that the groom shows up, “ I respond. We follow each other to the small garden where everyone is gathered. They were already decorating the area where the wedding would take place.

For some reason I'm feeling very anxious. I'm just hoping this is not a wrong plan. And it doesn't back fire on me.

Well at least I have gained their trust. And they expect me to be their inside girl, that will report everything happening on Ethan's pack. It's just all so scary, and dangerous.

" You're are already here, “ William, who's somehow Ethan's father. I don't even understand why he's trying to betray his own son. All just for power.

" Yes. Thought I should help you get ready. We have to get this going before people change their minds, “ I note which they agree.

Spending the rest of the day trying to get everything in order.

Later on that night I get a message from Natasha saying I should fetch her. Worriedly I rush to get someone to accompany me.

“ She said she's at the beginning of the forest," I say to the two gaurds that were said to accompany me. After a few minutes I see a car standing at the edge of the road. With Natasha sitting inside a car with a man I couldn't recognize. My heart starts beating faster as I couldn't understand what's going. Who's she with? They are too far for us to really read anything.

I text, and she gives the guy a hug before exiting and walking our direction.

“Maybe she's found herself a man," Wolfe says.

“C'mon don't be stupid. When have you ever seen Natasha with a man? I'm starting to think she despises them, “ I reply.

" And yet we are making her marry a stranger, “ Wolfe shouts back, as she's still against the idea.

" We have a mission Wolfe. And we must do everything to make it a success, “ I remind. Soon Natasha opens the door, and she looks a little frazzled.

" Is everything okay? “ I ask the moment she steps inside.

" Yeah, yeah I'm fine, “ she argues though I can see right through the lie.

" And the guy? “ I ask her.

" He's a just a friend—"

“A friend ?" I cut her in shock.

“I got into a little trouble when I was coming back and he helped me," she explains. Which worries me even more.

“What kind of trouble? Are you hurt?" I inspect. She chuckles as she rolls her eyes.

“I'm not hurt. I'm fine, it's nothing to worry about. It was just a little misunderstanding with a stranger in a dark alley," she says is though it's nothing serious. All I know, she could have been hurt.

“Dark alley? What were thinking walking alone in a dark alley," I riot.

“I didn't notice it earlier. And I thought it would be fine since it's a short alley," she responds. Typical Natasha. Always threatening everything like it's not a big deal.

“I'm just glad you're okay," I bring her between my arms.

" Well at least I got the dress, “ she smiles.

" Excited? “

" About the dress? Yes. Everything else, I'm angry actually, “ she confesses. I sigh as I truly understand how she must feel. Even myself I would be angry if I ever find myself in this situation. Especially since she only understands so little. She's not someone who really loves to complain, but I'm worried of how much she's bottling inside.

She might look fine, but I'm not so sure it reflects what's inside her.

" I understand. I promise we will get through this, “ I assure her. I see that she has very little hope. She just looks away staring at the forest.

" I just hope you're right. I don't how long I can keep this up, “ she then says. I let out a long breath as I also look outside the window. Thinking, what if I'm not right about all this. What will happen to us?

I don't know for how long I can keep this going. Especially with no one to help me. I've always known I'm a witch, but it's useless since I wouldn't be able to cast a single spell to save my life. What's the point of even having that knowledge, if I can't use it.

The car continues for another few minutes before we arrive to our destination.

“Nice place," I hear Natasha compliments.

“ Is this her?" Molly approaches us. “ She's beautiful," she eyes Natasha from head to toe examining her. .

Natasha gives me a confused look. I nod to tell her that it's fine. “ Dinner is about to start," she turns around leading to the garden.

“ Well at least they don't mind the rogue part," she whispers. I had told Natasha to remove the neck pendant and bracelets. Because they would suspect something, if I told she's a rogue but didn't smell like one.

' You wouldn't believe what I had to go through to convince them why I don't smell one.' Especially when I know I can't reveal the fact I'm a witch, or else I'd be thrown into the dungeon.

“ I told you, I already dealt with it," I respond. She snickers as we make it through the garden.

“It's beautiful," she says as we walk to the table set out. It's a huge dining table with beautiful white and gold linen. The beautiful night lights decorating the area and the light from the moon. And the cool breeze of the night. All seems amazing.

“ This must be out bride," Bertie welcomes us. “ Well she's so beautiful," she studies her with a welcoming smile on her face. “ Well come on. We are already about tiy start," she says.

" You must be Natasha, “ Grant reaches out for her hand to kiss. " Grant Schwartz, but you can just call me, Grant “ he smiles wildly at her.

“Awkward," she mumbles in my head.

" Ohh live the girl alone Grant. C'mon sweetie, you can sit right next to me, “ Bertie saves her from the old man.

" I'm just trying to be friendly, “ he winks at Natasha. I almost want to cringe. And I'm sure she's dying with embarrassment wherever she is as she forces out a fake smile.

" You don't need to be scared. Everyone here is your friend, “ Bertie opens her a sit.

" As if, “ Wolfe rolls her eyes. We all settle down around the table. Soon William stands up to give a weak speech.

" Well welcome to the family Natasha and your new father. You can take this as your bachelorette party, “ he grins as they chuckle after him. " I'm William Santos, Ethan's father and these are my friends, “ he says and starts introducing all of his friend around the table. " And if you need anything, we're always here to help, “ he adds.

" Uhh-mm, thank you, “ Natasha responds.

" Let's toast. To a better tomorrow, “ They clink their glasses.

" I sure hope so, “ Wolfe comments.

" Yep me too.“
