❝ I feel like I am waiting for something that isn't going to happen❞
"Oh why don't you two just look so beautiful" Our Luna, Faith cheers. Ryder and I both bow down towards her; his hands still laid on my back that I wish to push off. I just don't feel the love sparks with him. Alpha, Justin comes and greets us both. Ryder and Alpha were best friends since childhood that amuses me because they both are the total opposite of each other. Plus, Alpha thinks we are perfect, which in the actual case we are not.
"My beautiful Rosella, and I are ready to head inside for the coronation" Ryder cooed, kissing the side of my cheeks. Yuck! He starts squeezing me closer to him. I cringe at the pain of my bruises on my back. That causes a smirk to tug on Ryder's lips at my reaction. We are right outside of the castle, Alpha and Luna both came in one car while Ryder and I came in another.
Alpha nods, signaling that it is time to go in. He ties his arms around Luna's arm. Ryder and I do the same. They both lead the way, and we follow them inside. As we start to approach I feel an awe at the incredible vast place, for some reason I am excited to see who the guy is to be the new Alpha King. We walk past the gates and down the hall, thank god I am wearing flats and not heels. We finally enter the party room, the doors open and everyone is chit chatting, drinking, and having fun.
If only I could live in this beautiful castle, it would be so amazing; I love how it is all set up. But, if I were the interior designer I would do minor changes. Now, I wonder how the rooms look. The party room has tables aligned around the perimeter, and right across me is the throne. I wonder how the prince looks, oh my god is that a kitten! That is a kitten! I watch the tiny greyish brown kitten walk across the huge hall; I had one when I was little before I married this beast and you –
"Rosella!" I hear a deep voice, my thoughts vanish as I flinch at a sting that rushes into my arms, causing my eyes to glisten. I look up to see my mate with rage in his eyes. "Stop day dreaming you idiot!" he whispers loudly, I shiver in fright, I hesitantly look around. I hate how I doze off; it is one of my worst habits.
"Ow!" I wince at his pinch on my ribs. "Can you act friendly, at least for today?" I mutter sadly, as we walk out of the hallway, to meet the prince.
In response I receive a disgusting sinister laugh, I wrinkle my nose at him. He is annoying, pathetic, ferocious and a liar. I slip my hands away from him and walk at least two inches away from him. "You are lucky the alpha is here, or I wouldn't even care about you" Ryder smirks. I roll my eyes, and sigh, even though his words made my heart feel a pang. The only thing I like about parties is that I can be away from Ryder, it's a relief. We walk up to a door that is at the far end of the hall.
Before Ryder could open it; he jerks me up towards him wrapping one arm around my waist. Sparks of hatred flutters everywhere, I just want to push him off, but I can't
"Smile up babe" Ryder smirks. I sigh putting a big fake smile.
Ryder approaches the doorknob, but the door flies open startling us both. There stood a dark brunette hair men, with hazel eyes. He has a perfectly symmetrical face, a sharp nose, and a high jaw line. Better than Ryders. He stood there with a big grin, staring at me. That made Ryder pull me impossibly closer to him. Which somewhat I did not feel right, which most girls do. "Ehm, I am Ryder, the Beta of Mystical Forest Pack, This is my beautiful wife Rosella" He smiles, but speaks in a more mono – tone voice.
"Oh," The guy laughs. "Sorry, I thought someone was here. I am Prince Felix, about to be Alpha of the Royal Crimson Pack. Please allow yourself in." the prince speaks, showing us the way. With a short bow, Ryder and I both go inside. The room is pretty enormous; it makes sense because different pack leaders are here.
There is a long horizontal table almost from one end of the room to the other. Ryder takes my hand gently, this time, making me a bit skeptical. He has never held me gently, but wait why even think of the possibility. It is just one of his incredible acting skills. We both sit beside our Alpha and Luna; I look up at the prince who has his sparkling gaze on me. He is better looking than Ryder, but why would he stare at me like that? He shouldn't because Ryder can do anything.
You are right, I will tear him up to pieces! And if you don't want that, start acting all lovey dovey towards me you b*tch.
I gulp at what Ryder just said to me through our minds. Why was he so evil! I keep forgetting to block my thoughts, but with all the pain I have, blocking thoughts kind of stings my head, it feels like a needle pricks in your head, yes I know. Why? Though, I have no Idea.
"Mind me asking, do you have a mate?" Ryder speaks. I look at him a bit confuse and see the prince glaring at him, his jaw clenched. Oh boy.
"I don't but will soon," the prince says straight forward. Averting his eyes from Ryder to me. The way he looks at me, I could feel my cheeks flush a bit pink. Though, I ignore this kind of feeling.
"Welcome, to our coronation" The King spoke. We all getup and bow down to him.
***
The coronation was pretty good; I got to stay away from Ryder for this whole time. I met up with Victoria and the whole day I hung out with her. Right now she is in the washroom, and here I look like a dumb person walking through different halls.
"You seem lost?" I hear a familiar voice behind me. I turn around to see Prince standing there; a grin lit up on his face and his hands behinds his back.
"I – I was looking for the bathroom," I say, that's the only thing that came up in my mind. I could have thought of something good too. I watch him, as he come forward making me step back. What was he doing? "W – What are you doing" I hesitate, stepping back. Hoping I won't wallop something from behind, as I walk backwards.
"I brought a rose for you" he winks. I watch him, furrowing my eyebrows as he brings out a red rose from behind him. My mouth opens, I have never seen such a beautiful red rose in so long. Well yes, I have when I walk out to places with Ryder but not up this close. I walk up taking hold on to the rose. It is beautiful.
"Beautiful" I grin.
"Just like you" He whispers, coming even closer.
A smile erupts on my face, never heard that in years of my lifetime. Especially from a guy, I feel so special. "T – Thank you."
"You –
"Who says you can be with my wife!" A harsh voice speaks behind Prince Felix. My eyes widen, and my jaw drops as I see infuriated Ryder behind Felix. Please, please nothing happen. I pray inside my mind. I gulp, hiding the rose behind me.
"She was lost, at least, I was here to help her, unlike someone!" Felix rose his voice. He is a bit taller than Ryder. I had to act, or Ryder would kill me. He is going to kill me when we get home; he will torture me till I'm not able to breathe. Without seconds thought, I fake a smile and run towards Ryder wrapping myself around him.
'It's just an act' I mind-link him.
"I looked everywhere for you" I mumble under his chest. I feel him wrap his arms around me pulling me in impossibly closer. I shiver under his touch, my teeth chattering nervously. He nuzzles his head in my neck where I should have been marked and pecks a kiss lightly on their arousing butterflies inside of me. I honestly wish to be mated, but not with him.
I break out of the hug, to see his face soften into mines. I sigh and turn around to see Felix looking at the bottom nervously. I feel so sorry for what I did. "Thank You," I say, I bow and take Ryder's hand and leave. I inhale a deep breath, feeling guilt rise inside of me. I feel very horrible, I look back to see Felix sadly see me and the rose fallen on the ground behind him. I look down in guilt.
"What an actor you are" Ryder smirks breaking the moment of sorry.
"Well, obviously that is what all my life has been about" I whisper. Should I ask him why he is so cruel to me? I haven't done anything; wait have I?
