Betrothed to the Alpha

Chapter 5

I jump when I hear my soul mate's limousine stop in front of the house; my heart started beating faster than normal. It’s because the fear or anxiety? I don't know because my heart is beating too fast for me to make anything out. I would have preferred not to go to the ball tonight. I take one last look at my dress, I was wearing a beautiful long red dress with a side slit and I am beautiful. I have nothing to envy of that of a fairy tale's princess. If it wasn't for going to the alpha ball, my look would have delighted me a lot however I haven't forgotten that tonight I'm going to have to rub shoulders with these monsters as well as my betrothed who is one of them.

-Kurty, it's time. The Alpha's limousine is waiting for you for the ball, my father shouts from behind the door.

I let out a long sigh before deciding to leave my room.

-i can't believe my beloved daughter has become so beautiful; you look so much like your mother.

-i miss her a lot, dad.

-me too however kurty I think you should hurry up and leave.

-it's true; I had completely forgotten the ball.

I said good bye to my father and then got into the extra-long limousine when the driver opened the door for me.

-thanks.

-all the honour is mine, Luna.

I smile at him for a monster he seems rather nice. During the ride I can't help, I think about my meeting with my soul mate and ask myself several questions about him. What kind of man is he? Is he arrogant or nice? Or perhaps he's handsome and mysterious. At these thoughts my heart began to beat very quickly. Finally, the car stopped in front of Alpha Villa, the driver opened the door for me so that I could get out.

-welcome to the humble abode of our Alpha.

I give him a sad smile, I go into the house, I see the room was full of people. I'm not surprised, it's an important day for all werewolves, all eyes are one me as I walked down the grand staircase to the ballroom strangely everyone moves out of my way to let me pass and I face a black man with an imposing build. I was so overwhelmed by his aura that I couldn't even move, my feet stopped when my gaze met his. He's good-looking, is he the Alpha?

-Miss, will you give me a dance?

-yes Mr.

Hand in hand, we head towards the dance floor I let myself waltz to the slow music that fills the place.

-i waited a long time for you and me finally got together.

-are you the Alpha?

-of course, Kurty.

-you know my name too.

-i don't just know your name; I know everything about you like your favourite colour, your favourite food.

-how is it possible? I don't know anything about

you.

-let me introduce myself in this case, my name is Liam Ford, 23 years old. Alpha of the wolf-city for the rest we will do better acquaintance a little later it's the ball of soul mates and I plan to take advantage of it to spend more time with you, my sweet fiancee.

-Mr Ford, thank you for saving me the other day in the park.

-you're welcome, darling.

I usually hate werewolves but my encounter with Liam is about to turn my hatred into something new and hard to describe. I can't accept such a thing because for me werewolves are bloodthirsty beings however when I'm close to him I want to stay by his side forever. These are the effects of the bond and no human being would be crazy enough to try to resist then at the risk of suffering or even death.

-Kurty comes with me.

Liam didn't wait for my response and took my hand forcing me to follow him on stage.

Oh mercy, he's not going to do what I think. Of course he will introduce me as his soul mate.

-thank you all for coming tonight, as you all know it's a happy day for us werewolves to find our soul mate. This night I have the honour to introduce you kurty Kendell, my soul mate and fiancee.

The room was covered in a flood of applause; Liam circled his hand on my shoulder smiling proudly at his guests.

Why didn't things go the way i planned? I didn't expect that my fiance will be so nice, handsome and mysterious. I feel suddenly a terrible migraine; I won't get attached to this werewolf monster. It's inevitable, I don't want this destiny.

-how do you feel, sweet heart? Liam asked anxiously.

-i have migraines.

He carries me in his arms and across the ballroom into a room then places me on a bed.

-do you still feel unwell?

I look away, unable to give him a proper response. How to explain to him that all this discomfort was due to his presence at my side.

-honey, what's wrong? Tell me.

-don't call me honey; we don't even know each other.

-we have known each other since our childhood Kurty but you forgot me.

-really, I want to know everything.

-I can't tell you about it now; it's a very long story. I know you have a dislike for werewolves but we are not monsters.

-I don't believe that according to you, killing innocent people is something normal.

-I never said that, you give your own meaning to

my words.

I try to avoid his gaze again but Liam puts his hands on my face, forcing me to look him in the eyes.

-the man who was killed that day in front of you was not a human but a werewolf who had lost control and was attacking humans.

His hand stroking his face, this simple gesture managed to put me at ease. I really wanted to trust him. The hatred I have accumulated towards werewolves seems to have disappeared suddenly.

-Kurty if you give me a chance I will prove to you that werewolves are not monsters and above all we have a heart.

-I'll think about it, I said, having lost all the desire to resist him.

Usually, I'm not the type to let go so easily but in his presence everything became different.

-huh, it's time for me to go home. Thanks for the invitation to the ball, I have to go now. I'm sure your guests are waiting for your return.

-please stays the night, none of my guests are more important than you Kurty.

I blushed like a child; Liam smiled at me tenderly noticing my confusion.

-uh...I...stay so I stammered awkwardly.

I grab a pillow and place it on my head to hide my face. Liam bursts out laughing.

-stop making fun of me Liam.

-I couldn't help it Kurty, I'm very lucky to have met such a wonderful soul mate like you. Tomorrow we will discuss everything that concerns us both.

-If you ever need me, know that I'm in the room opposite yours. Good night, sweet heart.

-goodnight Liam.

My head resting on the pillow I quickly fall asleep having difficulty believing that things did not go as I had hoped. Instead of hating my fiance, my heart finds itself loving him.
