Chapter 13

I swear to the moon’s goddess that he is the most attractive man in the world, all male celebrities cannot compare to him. My face was warm, but I returned his glance as steadily as dared.
I saw Adam next to the guy who staring at me.

Wait? ADAM?! He has actually made it here?! The man standing next to him is undoubtedly the Alpha King

He looks around before suddenly spotting me and giving me an overly excited wave followed by a cheeky grin. I however don't know what to do or think.

“Do you, Leoni Stone, Take Mr. Carter Reign, pack warrior of the Alpha of the Silver Ace Pack to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The man starts to say, causing me to break away from my thoughts.
"NO YOU FUCKING DON'T MUT... UNLESS YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH!"
Wait that voice wasn't in my head? That was real? What the hell?
My eyes snap wide open and I glance around the crowd frantically looking for the owner of the voice that just made such a bold statement.
My eyes land on the Alpha King who was now pacing towards the stage completely outraged with his fists clenched into large balls.
I honestly don't know what is going on right now but the fear I am experiencing is causing my chest to ache. I can't help but release a quiet whimper as I back away slowly.
I turn to see that Carter and my father have both completely paled in colour at the Kings actions.

I wonder how powerful this king must be if he can manage to make the both of these grown men pee their pants. He looks a lot younger than Carter too which is the slightly amusing part.

The look on their faces was only scaring me further however as I began to tremble furiously. If this king had them both scared then the moon Goddess only knows how scared I am right now!

Once the King had reached the stage, he furiously stormed up the steps and headed straight towards me.

My heart was in my ears and I couldn't process what was happening until he firmly grabbed a hold of my tiny wrist in his large hand causing me to gasp.

This was not the thing causing me to gasp however, but it was the electrifying sparks that shot up my hand and arm after his touch.

This was something that I've never felt before with anyone. The pain I was experiencing all over my body was gone for a brief moment and the only thing I could register was the contact between us both as he held my wrist tightly.

What I heard him say next nearly caused me to collapse into an early death right there and then...

"You will not, over my dead body, be marrying this girl as she is my mate!" I heard him bellow out in a complete rage directed at Carter.

His face was bright red from fury and the king spoke with so much authority that the whole crowd bowed to him after he spoke.

Everyone in the crowd gasped including me before they all fell into silent whispers at the statement the king just made.

Did the Alpha King really just say that I was his mate? That can't be true? So, that was the true feeling of find a true mate? If the Alpha King is my true mate, Who the fuck is Carter?

It would be sad to find out that I was nothing but a puppet. Anyone can control my life except myself. I couldn't help it anymore I started crying.

Once the king heard me sob loudly he loosened his grip on my wrist slightly but still kept a hold of me.

"Now who the fuck are you to claim what's mine!!" The king snapped out again moving closer to Carter and reaching his eye level effortlessly, whilst slightly pulling me along with him.

I nearly fainted when I seen Carter begin to shake and open and close his mouth like a fish trying to think of something to say.

He was scared. For the first time ever he was actually scared. It felt quite good knowing that it wasn't me who had to be scared this time.

The tears still fell down my face though and I couldn't seem to manage to control them. I glanced at my father briefly to see him standing there in utter shock at the scene in front of him.

"I-I- Uh... think that this is just some big misunderstanding sir." Carter croaks out and my mouth drops when hearing him stutter.

"A MISUNDERSTANDING!" The king bellows and I feel him begin to shake beside me as his grip around my wrist tightens yet again.

I flinch at his tone, whilst trying to hide behind him slightly in hopes that he doesn't turn his attention to me soon.

He must be close to shifting into his wolf which is terrifying me. I don't actually know who to be more scared of. Carter who claims to be my mate or the much stronger Alpha King who is now claiming me.

"I... I uh... I thought she was my mate." Carter stutters out again looking back and forth between my father and the king.

"YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS YOURS?!" The king yells in complete rage before sending Carter flying half way across the stage by the force of one punch with his free hand.

Everyone gasped and I could hear some babies in the audience begin to cry. I, however, was a sobbing mess. I didn't understand what was going on at all. Everyone just wants to claim me as theirs so that they can hurt me like I'm some toy?

I watched as the blood began to trickle from Carter’s nose as he struggled to get up to his feet. I actually enjoyed seeing him bleed as horrible as it sounds. He deserved it after everything he has put me through.


“Do you have any evidence to prove that you are telling the truth?” Dad rushed forward and questioned him. Instead of questioning the Alpha King, he should be over there helping Carter since he seemed to love him so much.

"I AM HER FUCKING MATE! Are you calling your own king a liar! She. Is. Mine. No questions asked!" The king snaps out at my father making me so loudly again.

Everyone was staring at me know which was making me feel extremely awkward and even more scared if possible.

"I... I..." I couldn't finish my sentence as I burst out in more tears, soon becoming a trembling mess. They were all confusing me and I didn't like it one bit.

"You all have my mate scared to death! Let me fucking guess! You all forced her into this marriage? am I correct?" The king barked out and I watched as my father hung his head low in shame.

"What is your name?" The king asks me briefly and I gasp realizing that he is speaking directly to me now.

"L-Leoni sir" I whisper out between quiet sobs and he nods at me briefly.

"Well Leoni tell me this... when I took hold of your wrist here..." He gestures down to his hand holding me. "Did you feel sparks when our skin touched?" He finished.

I didn't answer him verbally but Instead I nodded my head as a yes. I was too scared to do otherwise in case he got angry at me. I was too scared to say I didn't feel them in case he knew that I was lying.

"Leoni ... did you feel those same sparks when Carter touched you?" He asks me again, spitting out Carter’s name like it was a disease.

I shake my head as a no this time and he smirks down at me, not an evil smirk like Carter’s, but an almost proud smirk.

The only thing I felt when Carter touched me was pain.

"Case closed! She is my fucking mate and Leoni will be coming back to my pack with me! I will also be taking Carter and locking him up in my cells until I find out the full story! If anyone has a problem with my decisions then speak now or forever shut your god damn mouth!" He snaps whilst signaling his men to grab a hold of Carter.

Nobody speaks up about his decisions, except from my father.
Dad became angry and rushed forward and tried to punch the Alpha King to the ground. But he was failed and kicked away by the Alpha King.

So I guess that's it then? I'm going to live with the big scary king

"Adam!" He snaps and I relax slightly at hearing my friends name and remembering that he lives there too.

"Take her back to my car and get anything she wishes to bring with her from her house... I'm going to have a talk with her father." He says angrily
