Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

“I want you to meet someone.” Jai declared as he stared straight at Alyssa who sat across the table from him.

“Who is it, father?” Alyssa asked immediately as she felt a bad premonition on what she was about to hear.

“Lucas Brine, The man you are going to marry.” He responded before going back to his meal like he did not just say something so shocking.

Everyone at the table froze at they started at King Jacob in shock.

Alyssa was the most shocked of them all.

“The man I am going to marry? What do you mean by that father? Is this some sort of a joke?” She asked urgently panic seeping into her voice.

Jai did not care about her disrespectful tone and replied her slowly.

“You heard me right. I do not joke with matters such as this.” King Jai responded with a serious look.

Ella clenched her fists till her nails dug deep into her skin as she was enveloped in jealousy. She was careful not to change her expression so the only indication of her displeasure was her pale face.

Why does this bitch get to have such an accomplished man? I am the one who deserves someone as good as that!

Everyone on the table aside Alyssa had heard about Prince Lucas, the second prince of Sylvia.

Gregory was an accomplished prince who had gone on many quests for his Kingdom so even though he was the second prince, he was awarded the respect of the first.

If not for the strictly binding familial laws, he would have been made crown prince.

It was also said that he was a very handsome gentleman who never slept around like other men.

Men like that were rare!

“Father, you cannot just make such a decision about my life and expect me to happily go along with it. I normally listen to you and take whatever suffering is being dealt to me because I felt like I spoiled your family but you cannot just dictate who I will spend the rest of my life with. That’s just crossing my bottom line” Alyssa complained firmly feeling totally aggrieved.

How the hell was she supposed to spend her entire life with someone she didn’t know. For all she knew, he might be a perverted psycho. He might also be a ruthless beast who liked to beat women to show his power.

No! I will not let this go in! A devil you know is better than a devil you are not aware of! When I asked for an escape route, it was definitely not this!

King Jai’s fave twisted in displeasure as the pressure in the room mounted.

His wolf was threatening to come out at the challenge of its authority but he restrained himself as much as he could lest he tore her apart.

“Little girl!” He roared in a dominant voice that made everyone in the room asides Alyssa whimper.

The king was truly angry now.

As much as Ella agreed with Alyssa on not letting her marry Gregory, she still secretly felt overjoyed that her father would reprimand Alyssa.

He had never gotten angry with Alyssa before as he was totally indifferent so she was happy at his outburst.

Alyssa on the other hand weirdly did not feel scared as she stared straight at her father.

He noticed the she was not scared and it made him raise his brow in surprise. He suddenly saw a reflection of the valiant and brave woman who he had tainted forcefully in her and it made him back down.

“I do not want to repeat myself as it will be a waste of time. Just know that you were raised by me for this moment or did you think you would continue to freeload in my house without payment? Since you are my child though, I will be a bit more lenient towards you” he announced firmly.

Alyssa’s hope increased when she heard that but his next words dashed her hopes totally.

“I will give you a chance to have three dates with him so you can get to know him better but after that, you will both get married. Look at you complaining like a child. You ought to be happy that you managed to catch the attention of such an accomplished prince with your lowly mother’s bloodline. If he didn’t specifically request for you, I would have let Ella marry him instead so be grateful.” He said self righteously like he did Alyssa a big favor.

Alyssa wanted to cry so badly but she did not want to give him the satisfaction if watching her at her lowest point so she did not respond and stood up immediately to walk back to her her room.

As she turned to leave, she halted when she heard his voice again.

“You are to meet him today so go and prepare. You can stay in you former room as we do not want Gregory saying we maltreat you. Its bad for reputation. Make sure to dress very prettily as I don’t want him to change his mind because you are too shabbily dressed. Dress to impress!” He instructed stating at the back of her head.

Alyssa just stood there like a statue as her heart broke a million times over.

“You can go and prepare now as the time for your date will soon be here.” He said dismissing her.

Alyssa walked away from the table with fast strides ad she felt really suffocated.

When she was in the comfort of her closed room, she finally broke down.

She cried and cried as she imagined her life after this date.

…..

Alyssa walked into the high-end restaurant and looked around.

She was currently wearing a white pleated gown that had black stripes at the edges.

She had packed her hair in a bun and decorated it in black pins.

She currently looked like a proper princess.

Her eyes soon stopped at a table.

There was a man sitting by himself there so she guessed him to be Gregory. She examined him carefully and couldn’t help but appreciate his looks even though she didn’t want to marry him.

He looked to be in his twenties and he had maroon hair. His face was very chiseled and defined. He screamed manly beauty.

That was not enough to move Alyssa though.

He seemed to have sensed her so he looked up.

She happened to see that his eyes were auburn but since she wasn’t close enough she couldn’t see it clearly she couldn’t tell clearly.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She walked towards him and sat down before dropping her bag beside her chair.

She looked up and suddenly froze as she stared into his eyes.

“Mate!” He suddenly called out and that snapped her out of her thoughts.

Wait what?
