Chapter 5 Cannot Be Crowned
- Vasperia could feel the eyes of the powerful men and women in the large aesthetic hall glued to her skin.
- She was whimpering and shaking in dread and had no iota of confidence. If not for Raze's hands draped over their arms then she would have truly fell and let out a wail of embarrassment. What made things worse for her was her attire, dressed in the silky gown that could have exposed her shoulders and skinny laps but Raze's impeccable black suit jacket was draped over her, making her feel warm and inhaling his annoying but sweet scent.
- She wouldn't dare lift her eyes to see the faces of these Lycans whose eyes were bright like green silver , ready to pierce her existence.
- She was truly doomed because who the hell would even accept her like this, if she were the one in any of these people's shoes, she would have rejected herself.
- Every step she made sent burning flames to the back of her foot but a firm squeeze on her arm made her piqued up from her pity oblivion.
- They now stood before the beautiful Witch Goddess, a stern grumpy old man who looked displeased at the whole event and of course, a hall filled with Lycans sending a sneer to the couple.
- Delilah, the witch Goddess who was more than a mother to Raze and the pack wore a disappointed look on her face as she stared at the lady's attire. She was so beautiful with her blonde hair, silver-gray eyes and full firm lips to carve out a hidden beauty.
- If only she had a nice white gown, added a little mascara to highlight her brows and red lips gloss on that perfect lips of hers, she would be a goddess but that wasn't why she was here. She needs to bless their union and it hurts her to know that Raze wasn't interested in her anyway, she tried to melt him but the fury in heart has eaten deep Into his soul.
- No matter how she looked like, she was here for the wedding and no one would dare stop them.
- "Stretch your palms dear.." Delilah smiled at her and Vasperia stretched out a shaky arm to the woman. She didn't know why but she felt at ease just looking at her. She was beautiful with her long Silver hair and green eyes, hiding the old age that was threatening to deceive her.
- Delilah was about saying a thing when a rude interruption cut her off.
- "I don't mean to be rude but she's clearly a wolf!" Bryan, the gamma of the pack spat out in disgust, saying the minds of everyone who were present. Their Alpha had found a wife and it was a joyful thing, but they were not just expecting a dirty tattered looking Wolf with bruises, she belonged to the dungeon but here she was standing confidently with no other than Raze.
- "Gosh!! Raze?" He asked himself again to be sure.
- "It doesn't matter, Bryan. she's going to his Luna." Delilah said calmly, trying to explain things to them to be cool but the elders were too impatient to listen to another word from her. Infact, they were disappointed at her for even trying to bless a cursed union.
- "It matters a lot, Goddess!" An elder of the clan scowled angrily and scrunched his nose in disgust. "You know very well that we are not affiliates with the wolves, this would breed space for Insults and having an heir in the body of a wolf is totally unacceptable. If the Alpha can't find a Lycan bride then he should hold on or step down for those who are competent!" He stated bluntly, not caring about the way he used his words.
- All he knew was that the other members and elders would definitely side with him. Raze was a bastard whose parents were killed mysteriously and was thrown out of the Pack as a rogue despite being a pure blue blood, he was catisgated and thrown into the forest to meet his demise clinging to the last string of death when he met Delilah.
- She was moved with extreme compassion for the little teenager he saw bitten by wild creatures and having a rough part with the harsh weather.
- She took him in, Hid and cared for him outside his own pack who did such abominable things to him. His father's throne had been left vacant since his death and no one was deemed fit to claim it, not even the Lycans who imposed death on his parents.
- The throne was like a sacred altar and could destroy any creatures that wrongfully sat on it and also bless the right person that sits on it.
- Without the powers of the throne, Raze cannot be crowned at the rightful Alpha of Red Shadow pack and without Luna he's not responsible too.
- He cocked his head slowly to look at the man that made such a pronouncement concerning his choice of Luna and sent a warning stare, not making any expression but a stare that passed a lot of messages to them.
- "Please continue with the rites, I've made my choice and she's going to be my Luna." He uttered and clenched his jaw, looking back at Delilah who smiled at him to continue the rites.
- Those fucking idiots!!
- They didn't want him on the throne or anywhere near the pack. Raze thought as he placed a possessive arm on Vasperia's waist who shrieked from such contact.
- Even if he had no iota of feelings or fancy this woman, she was going to use her to unlock the keys to his powers, to bear him an heir to shut the mouth of those predators.
- He was going to fish them out, all of them who had single handedly killed his parents and cut their dicks for the dogs to feed on.
- "You should stop shaking like a detached frozen leaf!" Raze seethed, staring at Vasperia who couldn't help but get nervous. She wasn't invited, she isn't wanted and she would definitely continue to be a slave after this show is over. Raze's possessiveness was likely for the spectators to watch, she could feel it in his tone , the raw anger and pure disgust that ran out at every word.
- No one could even stare at her nicely without showing their beasts at her. Tears lurked In her eyes as she forced a smile at the only woman who smiled at her and bowed.
- She was done with the blessings, they were done with the introduction part and she couldn't wait to sink back into reality.
- Reality of being doomed, of being tied to a demonic Lycan whom she knew nothing about.
- A very few of them forced the event to look lovely, instruments were played and those who wanted to dance graced the floor with their steps.
- It was all fake!
- No one was happy for her nor was she happy for herself, all she wanted to do was rewind the course of events and wished her brother never got sick.
- Raze was so bored and couldn't wait to get done with all these formalities, His beta whispered to him about the Wolves crossing their boundaries and he couldn't wait to unleash the terror on those stubborn dogs.
- Darting his head to the side, he couldn't help but sigh exasperatedly at the sight of Vasperia who wished she could crawl into the hole and die.
- She wanted to leave here so badly and he couldn't blame her, she doesn't belong here at all but all that was just a fallacy. She belonged to him now and would do his biddings whether she likes it or not.
- Without saying a word, he grabbed her hands back to the royal Pack mansion and handed her over to the maids to clean her up while he marched forward towards his Gamma who was already present in the living room , discussing with the others.
- In a swift move, he caught hold of his shirt by the neck and slammed him heavily to the wall, choking him hard.
- "It was you, wasn't it?" Raze asked amidst gritted words and Bryan could say words as he choked for breath. Everyone was now on their tip of toes and their heart slammed heavily at the sight of Raze being this Vicious towards his casual Gamma. At Least the duo were close enough to their observing eyes.
- "W..wha..what are you.." he coughs, unable to hold back his breath.
- "You locked her up in my fucking closet, did you?" Raze growled, his veins visible on the back of his Palma and his grip became tighter.
- "I…" Bryan swallowed. He didn't want him to get married to a wolf, he just did that so he could find another!
- "SPEAK!" Raze's loud voice reverberated and echoed in the room and he cursed, nodding his head and his body landed miserably on the center table which crashed down alongside him.
- Raze sniffed, rubbing his nose with thumb, his sharp emerald eyes peering at him as he squatted to his level and cracking his neck with so much grace that made Bryan almost scoffed at such masculine authority he eludes at such simple things he did, if he were gay; he definitely do this scary Alpha.
- "Let that be the last time you touch my Luna! No matter who she is, she's mine and I don't fucking share!!"
- He blastedout that heavy warning and walked out on him, leaving everyone in total confusion.
