MIRANDA
After a long journey from the Dark Wolf pack, Hugo and I finally arrived at his own pack.
The beauty of his home left me staring in admiration, as everyone that saw me with their Alpha, kept bowing and welcoming us both.
I still had the flower on me, so I believe they had a clue about who I was.
Hugo took me into his large mansion, which left me gawking in shock. It's even larger than Alpha Jerome's home.
The servants all bowed to me, since I was their Queen, taking my bags as well as myself, to my bedroom, which was a distance from Hugo's room.
"Anything you want, my queen, we'll give it to you," the maids said with their heads lowered.
I felt so pleased that I requested new attire to please my husband.
"A change of clothes would be fine," I said.
"Oh, that has been settled for a long time, Luna," One of the maids said, showing me the clothes in the wardrobe.
This surprised me. It's almost as if Hugo knew I was coming.
"Okay then. I guess I'll just take my bath," I decided.
They soon left me alone, while I had my bath in the large bathroom, feeling so good all around.
This is the kind of life I've always wanted rather than being a toy to Derek.
"Derek," I uttered his name, remembering how he gazed at me while making those promises.
"He can't do anything to me. I won't allow him to harm me anymore. I have Hugo now. He'll protect me, " I said, finding Hugo's name sweet in my mouth.
"Hugo. My sweet Hugo, " I giggled.
Once I was done bathing, I wore a nice dress from among the clothes Hugo prepared for me, and was taken to the dining room to eat.
The servants served me different kinds of cuisine, leaving me pleased.
Some of the meals served were dishes I have never seen nor tasted before in my life.
I ate like never before, but still maintained a good habit before my servants. Didn't want them to see me as someone from a poor background, which I am.
All through the day, I was treated like a queen. The servants attended to my needs without allowing me to feel uncomfortable.
I was so happy that I almost cried out, wishing my parents were alive to see their daughter living a better life.
That's when Hugo showed up from behind the seat I sat on, kissing me on the cheek.
That brightened my mood even more.
"Feeling better?" He asked me and I nodded.
"Come with me," He said, taking hold of my hand.
It was night already. Hugo hasn't been around since we arrived from our trip. I had wanted to ask where he had gone because I was missing him. But the servants didn't give me any chance to think that much.
Now my husband is back.
As soon as we left the living room with no one following, Hugo lifted me into his arms romantically, taking me towards his bedroom.
I felt my heart fluttering, knowing what was about to happen next.
I just stayed calm until we were in his room.
My Alpha had decorated his room beautifully for our night. The bed is filled with flowers and candles decorated on different areas in the room.
My heart glowed when I saw this. It got me locking eyes with Hugo, who carefully placed me in bed, kissing me next.
His hands began traveling around my body, showing his desire to have me.
I didn't object to him. I was also ready to give myself to my mate.
It's so funny that my weak wolf didn't sense it, but only Hugo did. And I'm glad he didn't hesitate to make me his mate before my people.
As Hugo was trying to get my clothes off my body, my eyes suddenly spotted something behind him.
There was a crescent shape above the wall where the door was. It had two swords crossed against it.
When I saw this, I immediately stopped Hugo from going any further.
"What happened?" He asked me, still on me.
"I... I don't feel..." I stammered, still looking at the symbol.
Flashes and screams came to my head, causing me to sit up at once with Hugo falling aside.
"I need some time," I said.
"Some time? Why?" He asked, looking serious.
"It's my first time doing this. I need to be fully ready for it," I told Hugo, trying not to get his attention to what I was seeing.
Hugo smiled and accepted my wish. I left his room for mine, with my heart pounding in fear.
"This can't be. Please goddess, tell me this isn't real? " I panicked, locking myself in my room.
When I was in my room, I saw the same symbol above the door.
Fear took over me with memories of my parents flashing back. My father, who was beheaded before my mother and I, was killed by a huge man with this same symbol.
The same man with this crescent and sword symbol also killed my mother before my stepfather ran off with me.
"No, is Hugo my parent's killer?" I shivered, realizing that I had married my parents' murderer.
"Does he know I'm the daughter of the one's he killed?"
My stepfather's words came to me.
"You are doomed. Is that what he meant? Did he know who Hugo was?" I was going insane.
"I have to leave. I need to escape."
Now that I knew who Hugo was, I saw no reason to stay back. I can't stay with him.
Once midnight came, I carefully left my room, making my way to the entrance of the mansion.
Sneakily, I left the mansion, racing straight for the forest with the hopes of getting far away from Hugo.
But my luck ran out when I saw Hugo waiting for me at the entrance of the forest.
"I knew you saw something that triggered your memories. So, now you know who your husband is, don't you? " He smirked at me devilishly.
I tried to run back but was grabbed from behind and held by the neck by Hugo, who whispered into my ear, "You can't leave me, Miranda. I own you. Once I've taken that precious wolf from you, you're as good as dead."
"My wolf?" I uttered, only to get hit on the head, blacking out.
