Alpha Arthur's Exclusive Bride

CHAPTER TWO

Freya's POV

Just like in the past, I could feel the drops of rain. " Even Nature seems to remind me of my past. " I said sniggering. I didn't feel the rain drop on my body. All I felt were the pain of my memories.

My memories come flashing back-

"I recalled dragging my mother's lifeless body to where my father's body was. At such a time I knew they would want to spend their last days together. I was too little but I knew how important the rites were. I wanted to find just one person who could help me out. Just one-" I said with a painful sob. " But… the whole pack was deserted. Those who refused to pledge their loyalty to the new Alpha were killed on the spot. I had to dig for several hours just to bury my parents " I lamented.

" It's raining, you would catch a cold" Flarry said trying to carry me off the ground but I refused. " This was how it was raining on that fateful night. I was drenched in the rain. After I gave my parents their last rite. I went back to the same spot My mother had locked me in.

I stayed there without food. While the man who destroyed my family was having a good time, making merriment. I made a Vow to my parents, that I would avenge their death and claim what is rightfully mine."

" And you would do just that, but if you catch a cold you've broken the promise you made to them. You had promised them that you would live well. Taking Arthur's offer would make you closer to your aim. Whereas your parents were buried here, you would be closer to them " Flarry said, lifting me off the ground. This time I didn't resist.

He took me to a shed " What would happen to you?" I said with concern. We were lovers after all, I was worried about him. " I would take good care of myself, you have nothing to worry about. I won't be here to protect you, you have to be very careful. You have to take care of yourself, stay safe."

I was overwhelmed with tears of joy. " Why are you so selfless?" I questioned. Flarry was always like this, he would put me first before anything else.

" That's because I Love you," he said, planting a kiss on my lips. " Thank you" I said, giving him a tight hug. " Go back into the hall, and get changed. Don't catch a cold" he instructed, I obeyed his instructions immediately, heading towards the hall.

Turning back to see his face one more time he was no longer there. He had disappeared Into the night " Thank you for always being there. I have been so afraid of loving someone because they always get hurt. Sincerely from my heart, I love you Flarry" I muttered those words and got into the hall. He was right, coming back here would draw me closer to my goals. I was ready to turn the dice.

Walking into the hall, Arthur rushed in to meet me. I was already drenched and shivering from the cold. I held Flarry's jacket tightly. " Do you have somewhere I can change? I'm cold" I said, looking at him with a smile.

"Sure, let me take you upstairs," he said, leading me to the top floor. This was the same building my father had built with his bare hands.

After so many years only a few changes were added. " Mom, she needs something to wear, she's cold" I heard him say in a whisper. Looking up I saw an elderly woman, our eyes met. But I responded with a smile, this was the same woman who was involved in murdering my father's loyal subjects. " Anyone who isn't ready to plead his loyalty to my husband, would die by the sword" I recalled those words clearly.

"Dear, have we met before?" Luna Alia said, looking at me.

I was about to give her a response when Arthur interrupted "Mom, she was the special guest I spoke about. You had seen her in the hall. She had stepped outside for something important and got wet"

"Owh, that's true. I did see her, I'm so sorry dear. I have the right set of clothes. They would fit you perfectly. And you don't have to worry, they are brand new, " Luna Alia said with a smile.

"You need to take a hot shower here, while I get you some dry clothes, " Lun Alia said, leading me to the guest room. After she was done, she left me and Arthur alone in the room. "Your coronation ceremony is yet to start, you should head downstairs. " I suggested. I wanted some time alone.

"There's no need for all that, let my mom get you something dry first. We could then go down together " he said warmly. " Can I introduce you as my Luna?" He asked, looking at me with pleading eyes.

" Just go down, when I'm done we would talk about that"

"Here are some nice clothes, " Luna Alia said, handing them over to me. " Thank you," I replied.

" I would head back to the feast, you two shouldn't take long" She said and left.

" I would be back in half an hour, do take your time" He said with a smile.

Walking around the room I was certain about my decisions to stay here. Walking over to the balcony, I could see the spot where I had buried my parents. No one had an idea that the real Alpha and Luna of this pack were buried here by their own daughter. They were still the rightful owners and I, being their offspring, finally came to claim the throne and punish the culprit.

Half an hour later Arthur knocked on the door, I kept him in with a smile. " Go straight to the point" I instructed

" About my offer earlier, what's your decision?" Arthur said in a whisper. I could tell he was scared I would reject his request.

"I accept your request to become your Luna but things would happen based on my terms." I replied, I could see the smile on his face.

"What are your terms?"he asked

" There would be no intimacy till the set time elapses " I said seriously. I knew how badly he wanted this, so he would have no choice than to accept.

"I agree to it, to make it official everything would be documented tomorrow " Arthur replied with smile

"If there happens to be any other terms, it would be included " I said looking at him to get his reaction.

"That's not a problem," he said looking at me. "You look beautiful, it suits you perfectly, " Arthur said with a warm smile.

"Thank you" I replied with a smile, my first task was to make him fall head over heels for me.

Arthur held my hands as we got down to the hall. Holding me , we both walked up the stage. " This is My Luna," he said with a smile. The whole crowd applauded " Cheers to a great future " They said, lifting up their glasses. The butler walked up the stage handing me and Arthur a glass of wine. " Cheers to our new Luna" Arthur said, lifting up his glass, the crowd followed suit.

Finally the ceremony came to an end. All well wishers gave their gifts and some wrote special cards. I felt so sad because Flarry wasn't around me. " A room has been specially prepared for you, I assume you wouldn't like to share a room with me."

" You thought wise, " I replied with a warm smile.

"Everything you need is available in your room" Arthur said

"Thank you" I replied, I had nothing else to say. They took much more from me than what I was getting now.

" You would have to come down for dinner," Arthur asked.

"Sure, I would be down in a minute" Hearing this he immediately left my room. I knew what would happen, during the coronation ceremony, when Arthur introduced me as his Luna I saw the look on his parents face, they were pleased at all. Now it was time for dinner, I had to go downstairs so they could bombard me with unending questions.

Getting to the table I was surprised to see another guest. I knew Arthur had no sister, so I couldn't help but wonder who the female was. It seems Luna Alia understood this because our eyes met. " This is Elora, Arthur's Luna" Luna Alia said, motioning me to sit in the other direction far from Arthur.

It was evident that I wasn't wanted but I didn't care. Arthur wanted to protest but I signaled him not to. Sitting at the spot, I placed my hands on the table and it sparked out past memories.

My father had carved the table himself specially for his family but now he was six feet beneath the ground while his enemies were having fun. "What's your name?" Alpha Thor said, breaking the awkward silence. "My name is Freya Luke" I respond with a smile

"What?" They both said dropping their spoons in shock.
