Taming The Alpha

Planning stage and a wedding

Three days sounded like a fast deadline to the wedding, but it felt like an eternity instead. Damien was afraid about what would result from that arranged marriage, even when he tried to be positive about it, especially because there was a certain omega that he needed to talk to before it was too late. But he was too busy to even try to reach her. In the clan, everybody heard about an upcoming wedding, but no one saw or even knew who was marrying Damien, just as they saw nobody making the actual preparations, but it was a wedding for sure. So the clan was very curious about the celebration, just as curious about knowing why the Cleite clan paid a visit to their Alpha.

Rumors said that the plan was making an alliance with the Doiltean, then surely he was marrying an omega daughter of nobles. And those rumors were not to the taste of Amanda.

She was actually worried about this whole question about the wedding, even thinking about whether there was a possibility that she could be the mysterious bride, since no one in the clan —excepting the royal family— knew their identity.

For that reason, she went to her mother, a helpful and practical omega woman, to ask what she thought about it.

"From what I have heard", said Amanda's mother, as she was washing clothes on the river near to the clan's place, "it has something to do with the Doileant clan".

"Ugh, I have already heard that too, mom", Amanda complained, "but what I need to know is new information about this whole wedding thing".

Amanda was very upset about knowing nothing about the wedding. She needed to know, she must know if Damien was marrying her or someone else. It was very important to her to not lose him because, after all, not everybody has the honor to be the favorite of the Clan's heir. And she liked Damien, of course, since he was very attentive and nice to her, but becoming his Luna was a step ahead that no one could offer to her. So it was mandatory for her to marry Damien,

Amanda's family was very low in the hierarchy of the clan, since her father ran away, leaving her pregnant mother alone. She had to raise Amanda by herself, repeating time after time the same lesson: find a wealthy man that could never leave you, even if he tries. And when she found the heir of the clan leader so in love with her, she congratulated herself for a very well done job. That was what she was raised for.

But curiosity was killing her, and she went straight to see Gealach, in search of answers. After all, knowing Gealach so well as she knew her, the most probable thing was that, if she was going to be the bride, Gealach would act nervous, and finally tell her and welcome Amanda to their family.

Amanda then went to see Gealach, who was very nervous looking, like there was something wrong with something. Amanda felt a little suspicious about it, feeling that nothing good would come.

"Sorry for interrupting, your Highness", Amanda said, approaching Gealach, who was in complete solitude.

"Oh, Amanda, it is a surprise to have you here", especially when she did not notify her entrance, but it was also normal, since everyone in the clan knew that she was Damien's girlfriend. That was also a factor of mystery and suspense about the mysterious wedding.

"I am very glad to come to visit from time to time", Amanda said. "I wanted to ask a question, of course, if your Highness Gealach is disposed to answer it".

"What kind of question, dear?"

"About those rumors, about a wedding, a royal wedding".

Gellie looked at Amanda, and sighted after that.

"Well, it was about time to have you ask about that, and sincerely, I wanted to talk about it before. Please, come with me". Gealach was in special hurt about having to tell Amanda about this, but since Damien was actually undisposed to receive anyone, and did not want to see her until the last day, it was Gealach who had to tell the truth.

First of all, Gellie made her maidens serve Amanda some snacks and a soft drink. She wanted to make the girl feel beloved, and above all, wanted by her. Amanda could be a great daughter-in-law, but it was something impossible now, at least for the next ten years, and considering things, it would be very egoistic to make her wait for ten years for Damien.

"Where is Damien?" the young redhead asked. Amanda had curly and bright red hair, and her skin was like milk, covered with freckles everywhere, that made her look so adorable.

"Well, he was... indisposed at the time".

"I see, maybe I should see him to make him feel better?"

"I am afraid that that would not be the best for him", Gealach said, taking a sip from her cup, and later she continued. "I need to tell you the truth about what is happening right now. As you said at your arrival, there was a rumor about a wedding. I must say to you, and only you, that the rumors are true, and Damien is next to get married. Unfortunately, you are not going to be the bride, but a noble from the Doiltean clan".

Amanda went in shock after hearing that, even opening her eyes wide. How did they dare to give Damien, her lover in marriage, to someone else?

"I know this is not the greatest news that you could hear, but I want you to know, that this is truly necessary. It is for the best of our clan. This will start a new peaceful era for all of us, taking into consideration the ambush at Damien's celebration. You saw what happened."

"But there are ways to have a peaceful future for the clan", Amanda objected. "What about me? I am in love with Damien, it is like being unfaithful to me".

"Please, understand what we are doing. It would be great that you two got married, but they are offering us this chance to stop the attacks, and we only do what is best for everyone".

"For everyone but not for me", and after that, Amanda left, furious about being disposed of like that, going back to her home.
