A Mate And A Bride

Beatrice POV After my dad spoke, he turned and got into the car, leaving me standing in the dark woods. I was already catching a cold; I wrapped my hands around my body as I stared at his car riding away. Just then I felt a soft touch across my shoulders. I flinched and swiftly turned. “Yooo! Yooo! Hold your ground, I'm not attacking you nor a Dracula wanting to suck you dry… Why are you acting so scared?” I forced a smile on my lips, and then slightly looked away. The person who had spoken was Caprino, Wesley's father. The most annoying part was that I didn't even sense him coming. Or could it be that my wolf has become dormant after the markings from Wesley? Caprino then smiled back at me before speaking. “Beatrice, I know you aren't in support of this, and I wish my family and I had another way to fix things, but the mistake has been made. So you just have to blend with it.” His words were getting so annoying that I felt my knuckles cracking, but I knew I had no choice, and disrespecting the former alpha still in his full prime would also result in consequences. Once more I fake a smile, making everything he had said sound and appear cool to me. So he won't see my rage from my expression. Caprino gently stretches his hands towards me. “It's already getting very dark; let's go.” My hands trembled, but I quickly got hold of myself before holding hands with Caprino, and so we proceeded forward. Caprino is a very wealthy man, having multiple companies around the city. And apart from that, he's also a friendly type. Though there's something I don't take a liking to in him. He looks calm from the outside but very brutal from the inside. Once he makes a decision, he doesn't change his mind. And that has resulted in making most of the pack members who had disagreed with him go into exile. Before me was a Mercedes-Maybach S Class, illuminated with its luxurious glowing interior. We walked towards the car, and a security guard gently opened the door for me to get in. I stared for a while, but then Caprino's voice cut in. “Beatrice, get in; your husband is waiting for you inside.” I started thinking twice about whether I was going to run off or get into the car. I have never imagined that I would be together with Wesley in the same car. Likewise, I can't even keep up with his predatory gaze. In order not to look too foolish, I forced a smile from my lips and stepped into the luxurious car. And so the door locked short. Before me was Wesley; his stare was deep into me, and his face contorted with intense rage. I knew he wasn't supporting this, so do I. The engine started, and so the car began to move. My mind arched with uneasiness as I refused to look straight into Wesley's eyes. “Listen, you b***h or whatever you call yourself,” Wesley's voice suddenly chimed in, and I could feel my body shiver at the bass of his voice. I slowly lifted my gaze, and so our eyes locked. He adjusted himself before leaning a bit closer to me. “I never wanted this, and I would never let anyone choose what I want and what I should do. You are not my mate nor my bride, so stay away from me.” His voice was so deep and filled with menace, making my body tremble. Wesley was another version of his father, the other aspect of him being brutal from the inside out, but in the aspect of Wesley, he is brutal from the outside, and without a doubt, he could definitely be brutal from the inside as well. After speaking to me, he leaned back in his seat. Though the luxurious car had a two-face seating position, where, when seated, the two seaters would be facing each other. Silence fell throughout the entire journey, and soon, we were in the Caprino family mansion. The car stopped, and Wesley stepped out. I tried stepping down from the car, but my gown got hooked on the door handle, tearing it a bit. “Ouch… Ummm, don't expect that,” I chuckled, forcing a laugh, but Wesley stared at me disdainfully and walked away. I have never sighed for this, nor agreed to be treated like trash. If I hadn't had an insolent father and a manipulative sister, this wouldn't have happened. The security guard who had driven the car came to my aid and held me, pulling the gown tip which had hung on the hook of the door handle, exposing half of my lap. The Caprino mansion was very luxurious, though I had expected it, and I thought as much. Caprino's wealth is evident, and his title as the former alpha has really gotten him a lot of opportunities to afford all he has today. Finally, with the assistant and the security guard by my side, we walked through the mansion's front door, and before me were Caprino and his wife, Kamala. And they were asking Wesley some questions before he suddenly pointed in my direction. And as soon as Kamala saw me, she walked majestically towards me and gave me a tight hug. “My honey, you look perfect as usual. There's no difference with your sister; you guys look so much alike.” She spoke so softly, but currently, that isn't what I wanted. I wanted nothing more than to get the hell out of this mess. She held my hands and then took me over to where Caprino and Wesley were standing. Thereafter, she waved her hands at the security guard to go back to his duty. “Wesley, look at her; she's such a pretty lady. You guys are going to make the perfect match and make the most perfect kids together for the Moonview pack.” Wesley, hearing what his mother said, sighed before narrowing his eyes away. Thereafter he set it on me with a stare of disgust. “You guys force me into marrying her, so I guess she's your wife, not mine.” Wesley's gaze was thus that he was going to spit at my face. He then walked away, and just as he was about to get on the stairs, Caprino's voice cut in. “Wesley, what sort of disrespect is that? You are the alpha of this pack; the entire safety of this pack depends on you. That's why you need a Luna as well as a mate.” Wesley stopped on his tracks, then looked over his shoulder before replying. “I have never for once told you I'm ready for a mate, nor a bride…”
