Mated To Alpha Gregory

Lilith’s POV;

Seeing Alpha River’s retreating figure brought me a sense of comfort, but I still said nothing as I felt Adam’s gaze on me.

“I’m sorry about that,” he said, and I nodded.

The rest of the ceremony went by in a blur, and very soon, it was already sunset.

The seer in the Black Hound pack, who was known to be one of the best in the entire werewolf realm, had picked today as the best day for us to get married.

According to him, it was going to be a full moon, and the moon goddess would be bestowing her blessings on a few lucky wolves.

That evening, after Cara led me back to my room to get rid of my dress and other adornments in order for them to not get ruined, I couldn’t help but wonder if Lexi was right after all.

He had treated me very nicely, saved me from Cassandra’s clutches, and yelled at Alpha River for my sake.

Just then, the door opened, and he walked in. He had replaced his shirt with a simple T-shirt and slacks, one he’d rip off while changing into his wolf form, as it was compulsory for him to do so.

“Shall we?” He held out his hand to me, and I took it quickly, my heart racing at his touch but struggling to keep my expression neutral.

He suddenly stopped and turned around, peering into my face. I resisted the urge to ask him what was wrong as I struggled to not let my expression give me out.

“Damn it! Lilith, I’ve been trying to keep this in, but I can’t anymore. I love you so much that it hurts.” His thumb grazed my bottom lips, and he leaned in to seal his lips with mine but stopped suddenly at the last moment.

“I won’t kiss you or touch you unless you want it,” he said, our gazes meeting before he turned around, pulling me with him as we walked to the woods, where everyone was already waiting. I saw nothing but sincerity in his eyes. But he was too late; I had already given all the love I had to Raider.

“See! He cares for us!” Lexi whined, and I rolled my eyes internally.

“Just tell him that you want him to kiss and touch us,” she said as she began to try linking with his wolf. Immediately I noticed, so I stopped her immediately and shut her off.

Cara had told me that the mating ceremony was going to be held in the middle of the woods, with everyone present in their werewolf form gathered in a large circle around the two of us as we howled our vows.

He glanced at me as he let go of my arm and nodded at me. It was then that I realized that he meant it was time for us to change into our wolf form.

Lexi howled in excitement. She had been wanting to come out and run around the woods, as it had been a long time since I did that. I couldn’t do that while I was a servant, as Cassandra had told me that if I ever transformed, she was going to make sure my limbs were cut off.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

As fast as she could, she began to dominate my body, and I felt the pain that came with bones cracking and cells reforming to that of a wolf. Within minutes, she had completed the transformation.

I gaped in awe at the huge black wolf in front of me, his dark eyes piercing into mine. He growled, and Lexi purred in response.

He nudged her, and she whined playfully and began to run towards the woods. It was like she couldn’t wait to conclude the mating ceremony.

We soon arrived at the venue to see all of the pack members in their wolf forms, gathered in a huge circle with an opening to let us into their midst.

Once we got into the middle, they covered it up and began to howl as they’d do, a way of showing their support and blessing, even though I knew that it was all fake. They didn’t like me.

We howled our vows into the full moon, and the other pack members howled in approval.

We are friends now. He was mine, and I was his. I had no idea how to feel about that, but I was always vacant, my eyes vacant as I nodded to whatever anyone said. They were never going to get any emotions out of me.

A while later, I walked to the room that he had prepared for us for our first night.

Cara had given me a silk nightdress to cover my nakedness after I had transformed into my human form. She had then informed me that the Alpha King had prepared a room for us.

“Tomorrow, I’ll introduce the new maids assigned to you.”

“What about you?” I blurted out, and it seemed as though my question had startled her as she blinked rapidly and then grinned.

“I’ll be around, my queen, but unfortunately, I was not assigned to you. But you can always call on me whenever you need me.”

I frowned but said nothing, wondering why they were taking Cara away from me. I was already becoming used to her. I wanted to ask her if this was what Adams was doing, but I kept quiet instead as we walked towards the room.

“Good evening, sir,” I heard Cara say, breaking my chain of thoughts. I glanced up to see the man I had seen earlier. Ben.

“My queen. You look gorgeous. Congratulations once again,” he said, holding my hand and bringing it to his lips, planting a small kiss.

His eyes still had that twinkle of mischief.

“Can we talk?” I saw him glance at Cara and then at me, his smile widening, and then I realized that he wanted her to excuse us.

Cara glanced at me. I saw the look of uncertainty in her eyes, and I nodded. She looked like she was about to say something, but instead, she bowed as she walked away quickly.

“Welcome to the family once again.” The smile on his lips unnerved me, but my expression was still neutral.

“Look, I won’t mince words right now. I heard what happened between your family and Alpha Rivers’. I can help you get your revenge.”

“What? You don’t want vengeance?” He looked taken aback, and I was unmoved by his offer to help me.

“Thank you. I’m fine.”

His brows pulled together into a frown, and he chuckled slowly. “Then why did you marry my brother?”

“He’s my mate.”

“Look, I know you’re scared, and you don’t know if you can trust me. But I promise you, you can trust me. I’ll help you. Think about your parents and how they were killed. Come on, you know you hate them.”

“She doesn’t need your help.” I heard a voice coming from behind me, and when I turned around, I saw my husband standing there, looking magnificent in the black T-shirt he was wearing. But he looked tired.

“You can stop pestering her now and allow us newlyweds to enjoy our night,” he said, walking close behind me and hugging me from behind. “I miss my wife already.”

My expression remained unwavering. Even when he spun me around and pulled me with him towards the room.

I wanted to turn around as I could feel his eyes on us, but I resisted the urge and instead walked with him to the room.

“I’m sorry about him,” he said as soon as we got to the room, and I nodded as my eyes fell on the bed. It was a king-sized bed. I swallowed hard, realizing that we were going to have to sleep together. He had hinted at that earlier, and it was custom for all newly mated wolves to consummate their marriage.

“I really wish you’d show some sort of emotion,” he muttered, but I said nothing.

“You’re Queen now. You can do whatever you want,” he said, peering into my eyes. He was too close to me-dangerously close at that.

I nodded, and his lips parted as if he wanted to say something. Instead, nothing came out, and he began to walk towards another door that I hadn’t seen until now.

“Oh! I will be staying in the adjoining room. There’s a connecting door so that we can come and go out of the same room without letting anyone know that we don’t sleep in the same room. Some people here want to find something against us. Goodnight, my queen,” he said without turning around, and I realized that he was talking about Ben.

Watching his retreating figure, I was hit with a pang of guilt. He had been extremely kind to me, and I only wished I could find a way to let him into my heart and become the woman I once was before everything happened.
