Arranged Mate Bond
1243 Words
Celine''s POV:
Ouch! Those words pierced my heart like a sharp sword had run through my heart twice. Everything came down pouring on me. My destiny, my birth parents, the kicks and punches I suffered from my father. And now the rejection from my mate who didn't seem to even acknowledge me.
Why was Moon Goddess doing this to me? A simple rejection would have hurt me but this was nearly a death experience for me.
"Is she marked? " Alpha Kai, the Senior Alpha, asked.
"No, but we are going to get each other marked by next week. Everyone knows about it. My pack and hers are excited for the wedding. " Alpha Tyrion answered.
Alpha Kai nodded and thought about something. I felt the skies falling on me. Alpha Tyrion was so much in love with his mate. I could see that on his face.
My father howled, crying and panting like he was about to lose his life, " What about my daughter then? She just turned 18 last month and… you could have seen her gown. He brutally forced himself on my daughter. "
Alpha Tyrion grabbed my Father's collar and punched him twice. He kicked him in the guts and everyone stared at him angrily.
"I am not interested in her. "
"What about my empty wish? Can a father get justice?! "
I couldn't believe that my father was taking the blows for me. He was so worried about my life and wanted the best for me. I had never seen him acting so savagely against an Alpha before.
"You will get Justice, Gabriel. Nobody gets to take the innocence of young girls and marry the Princess like nothing happened under my watch. I saw her too in the morning when she came out crying. "
Alpha Issac of Black Crescent Pack stood with my father and supported him to get up.
"I saw her too… "
"Yes, I was there too. "
"I agree she should be mated to Alpha Tyrion. "
Every Alpha spoke against Alpha Tyrion and he just stood there watching me and my father.
"Given the circumstances, even if I could have ignored the mistake you committed last night, I believe the empty wish stands as a firm rule set for an Alpha to be fulfilled. You need to give him whatever he asks for. "
Alpha Tyrion was visibly on the verge of losing his cool and going feral against everyone present in the room. That meant there was going to be blood. Lots of blood and war among the packs.
I needed to intervene. I had to say something.
"I don't want to be his Luna. "
My father hissed in anger at me and I flinched when his tight grip fell on my arm.
"You are scared but I know you want to be his legal mate. " He said.
"Well, she doesn't want me either. It's settled then. " Alpha Tyrion announced loudly.
My father was not going to let it pass so easily and he fell at the feet of Alpha Kai, pleading with him with his tears.
"What do you want, girl? I can't let you suffer the consequences. The Alpha Alliance Council doesn't discriminate among the she-wolves. Tell me. What do you desire to have the most? " Alpha Kai asked me.
My throat wobbled with the tears and a knot formed in my belly. I closed my eyes, focusing on my inner voice.
What did I want?
My family. Children of my own.
"A child. "
The words came out as an involuntary action. I realized what I had just said in front of so many Alphas, my cheeks burnt from embarrassment.
"You will get your wish fulfilled. "
My father was shooting daggers at me, " But are you going to make my daughter, Celine, some Alpha's mistress after one Alpha used her? Is that your decision-? "
"Shut your mouth, Gabriel! Wait for my decision. " Alpha Kai gave my father a stern warning this time and he kept quiet.
Alpha Kai walked to the center of the stage. The eyes of every Alpha falling on him. I was asked to stand beside him. Alpha Tyrion was standing by his left and I was on the right side.
"This girl is very innocent and honest. " Alpha Kai said and I heard Alpha Tyrion scoff, " She was wronged by both Alpha Tyrion and her father. She didn't deserve the insult. Now, she just wants a child of her own like every young girl. Is she wrong to ask that after whatever happened to her? "
My heart beat against my chest as if it was on a train.
"She is right. I don't find anything wrong in it. "
"Neither me. "
"I am happy you all agree. Now, we know how much the mates desire innocence in their she-wolves which she has lost. She's not that beautiful or belongs to any rich family to have a better future. Only Alpha Tyrion can give her a child because he is her first man. I don't want her to be a rag doll going from one person to another. Moon Goddess will curse me for that. "
I shut my eyes, fearing what Alpha Tyrion would be thinking of me. That was not what I had intended to do.
"I can give her a child if that's what you want. "
Alpha Kai cleared his throat, " Also, would we like for the child to be a bastard? Born without a mate bond… Would Alpha Tyrion not keep his words for the empty wish? If he doesn't agree, I shall remove him from Alpha Alliance Council. "
That must be a hard blow for Alpha Nicholas because he watched the elders with wide eyes.
"Is it a conspiracy against me? All of you are included! " Alpha Tyrion pointed his finger at everyone.
"Don't be crazy, Tyrion. What would we get from it? "
Alpha Isaac snarled, " If you don't want her, then leave your position. "
My father joined them too, " I really thought the late Alpha Brian really wanted to see you become the king because he couldn't get the position before the attack. "
I wanted to leave and run back to the basement in my house where I used to live. But Alpha Kai held my hand and kept me in place.
"I accept to take her as my Luna for the time being. "
I was stunned when Alpha Tyrion caught my arm all of a sudden and made me stand right in front of me.
"I, Alpha Tyrion Macklin,in the presence of Alpha Alliance Council,take Celine, as my Luna and promise to give her a child as a deal to break the bond in the end. "
His words were filled with fury, hatred and anger. His grip tightened on my hand and I yelped in pain but he didn't care about my suffering. My father urged me to speak as he stared at me.
"I accept the mate bond. " I said. He pinched my skin, " I promise to leave Alpha Tyrion after my child is born. "
"Long live, the Alpha Alliance Council! " My father danced in joy and tears strolled down on my cheeks.
My fate was sealed now in this arranged mate bond and my mate hated me.
