The Alpha King’s Fated Scarred Mate

Ann POV

When I woke up, I found myself clothed, the place I was warm.

“Sister, you’re awake?” A sharp feminine voice rang through my ears, and my heart thrummed under my chest.

I nipped to behold a long gown without a body in it talking to me, I shrieked, startled at the sight.

“Never to be startled Novartis!” She tried to pacify me but I wasn’t impressed, she looked scary.

“Novartis?”I shot a brow. “you must have mistaken me for someone else. Sorry.”

At my speech the aura in the room intensified, the atmosphere became heated, I suddenly had goosebumps, and the hair on my body standing against my will, a dark aura.

“Nah Novartis! We are sisters, we live in peace and save our other sisters who are in pain.”

“I’m a werewolf, what’s your species?” “Birdragon,” answered her with my heartbeat getting faster.

“Witch?” I said with fear in my tone but I sensed she was laughing at my words but she was invisible.

“Why laughing?” Asked me to satisfy my curiosity.

“Able to read my thoughts, you see?” She turned to me with a cup in her hands which harbored dark tea, invisible hands.

“Drink!” She ordered.

I took it and gulped down the contents without thinking twice and suddenly became dizzy.

“You’re part of us Novartis, we are here to support you whenever you need us to fight for you.”

” We can make you the Luna, make those who have wronged you pay for it, helping you to curse on anyone but you just have to get us someone to purchase your power.”

“What someone?” I asked with curiousness lingering in my stare.

“For you to know, you’ll have to take some oath that you will bring the person.”

My heart raced a thousand miles at her words, even when she was invisible, I could read the look on her face. She was smiling at the situation I was in, and how I was forced to think about whether to accept the deal or not.

“And you think me thinking the oath was necessary in the first place? Why can’t you just tell me before I take the oath.”

Moment of silence, the air becomes tense and cooling.

A humm sigh, followed by her voice. “Shewolves are the most confused set of species on this planet, they tend to permit their emotions to get over them, hence forgetting what they need.” She said and I became confused, but then a smile crept up her face. I didn’t see her face but I knew.

“A smile just crept up your face just now, right?”

“Yes!” I became happy at her response, it was as if I was using magic.

“What if” I said but was interrupted by her.

“What if?” She said with a frown on her face. “There’s no what if, just do it or don’t!” She said with a stern voice.

Somehow I found this intriguing, I was going to dip my legs in the dark ocean even if I couldn’t see the bottom. One has to take risks to know, to be experienced, and to win.

“I’m ready. Once the person involved is not going to die.” I added to my words, already scared of the unknown results of the mess I’d be getting myself into.

What if she asked me to bring someone I wouldn’t be able to bring? My father? Sugar or Jayden?

Gosh! I hate this! My heart ran thousands of miles at the mention of Jayden. I do not think I’ll survive a night if Jayden ceases to exist.

“You will also be beautiful, and you’ll become the supreme ruler of the Australian kingdom.” The voice said in a whisper, and the hair on my skin sprang up.

“Even my scars?”I raised my face, with tears streaming down my cheeks.

“If you want to know, why don’t you take the oath?”I shuddered at her words.

“Okay, can I ponder over this?”

“No,”

“Once I’m out of here, the opportunity is gone. You only have to answer, right now that I’m with you.”

After deliberating for a few minutes, I pulled myself together. It’s going to be okay, this invisible girl saved me right? She’s going to be a sweet Angel, she’s not going to be bad, and the person I’ll bring is never going to die.

“I’m going girl!”

“I’ll take the oath!” I yelled in a docile tone.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Sister,” the invisible in the black gown called, parading me. There was no body in the clothes but I felt her fingers trailing my body.

“Very good of you. The ritual began tonight.”

There was a slap of clothes in the air, and a burning fire appeared right a few inches away from my standing position.

I watch the burning fire getting intense, and the invisible cloth turning towards me.

“What you are about to enter means hell, the task, the oath. Note that you already consent to take the oath, no going back!”

My heart thrummed.

“Your mission is hell and to have a taste of the air, you’ve to pass through that fire.”

My gaze darted toward the fire, and I felt the air in my lungs escaping.

“I don’t have to pass through that, you know?” I said with a hollow in my voice.

“Don’t cry, princess!” I felt a thumb flicking the tears away from my eyes. I sucked in my tears.

“Now, stand and pass through the fire.”

I hesitated a bit and swallowed a hurtful lump. “Does it hurt? The fire?”

Moment of silence.

Her dulcet voice finally broke through the silence. “Do you wish to know?” She asked, and I nodded.

In a flash, she extracted a small portion of fire from the burning one and threw it at my skin. “Arrg…”, I screamed in terror and anguish.

The pain was hell, the fire was real. What mess have I gotten myself into?

“Would you put it out, just please!” I pleaded in a teary voice.

I was shocked at her response. ” No, I can’t.”

Muddled, I looked at her. “But why?” “Aren’t you supposed to be nice to me?”

” I’m trying, for you to put out the fire, you have to walk through the fire, there you will find out about your task, the person you’re supposed to bring, and the sacrifice you’ll make along.”the invisible said. “and also, the consequences cause there are no advantages.”

” Did you just trick me?” I bellowed.

She laughed. ” Remember, I told you she-wolves are the most confused set of species on the planet right? They tend to permit their emotions to get over them hence forgetting what they need!”

“Walk into the fire now, greater consequences await your delay and failure to compel to order.”
