Alpha’s Substituted Bride: Lust in the Shadows of Fate Novel – “So, you’re standing here now to be my bride, and where’s your sister?” I saw my husband, Charles, as he lifted my veil. His face was stone cold, with chiseled features, and thin lips.
His green eyes seemed to be burning. Although his tone was low and calm, his angry eyes revealed an incredulous look. They stabbed me like a sword and sank my heart to the bottom. The moment finally came.
“Can anyone here tell me what the hell is going on?” Charles pulled down my veil, and I could barely breathe under his alpha-strength. I staggered back, almost falling, and the priest, who had seen the accident, held me in surprise.
Some of the guests had noticed the strange atmosphere between Charles and me, and they began to whisper. The whole wedding is sliding out of control. Everyone is talking. I was the one to blame. The dirty words flooded into my ears. My father was standing under the stage, and I tried desperately to look him in the eye for help.
I silently shouted in my heart: “Father, please, let this farce wedding stop! Let me go, or let my sister back!” And he told me with his lips, with his Red Moon Pack Alpha status and long-held majesty: the wedding must go on. I looked at my father. His hands clasped the ruby scepter, the symbol of the alpha.
His face was as cold and hard as ever, without expression, as if he were trying to endure something, just as he had done at the ball that day… I felt hopeless. I knew the wedding wouldn’t stop. Because the purpose of this ceremony is not to bless the newlyweds, but to unite the two packs.
