Mirabel's POV
Well, a little introduction about myself, right? My name is Mirabel Gabriel Caleb. The only child of Gabriel Caleb Rolland, a school owner.
My dad's academy is the only school in our Pack, so he is kind of popular, famous, and respected.
Back to my introduction: I am a very beautiful young lady with dark brown eyes, waist length, blonde hair and I'm average height.
I grew up without a mom, and guess what? Dad doesn't make me feel motherless.
He is always there for me and ready to fulfill all my wishes, even the ridiculous ones. Sometimes I wonder how I don't act spoiled and pampered.
*Gabriel Caleb's Chamber *
Gabriel Caleb sat on the rosewood chair in his room. In his hand is an amulet. Something that reminds him of his past wife.
The door of his chamber was pushed open, and Imogen, my best friend, and foster sister sauntered in, looking stressed out.
"Father, you called," she said, bowing her head.
"Yes," Gabriel Caleb replied as he stood up from the rocking chair.
"Mirabel is in a dangerous situation," Father began.
"You are right, father. Things are getting more difficult than predicted. I could feel danger lurking around me each time I stepped out of the Pack mansion.
If the senior officials in the Pack did what I think they did, Mirabel cannot remain here in MoonFall Pack," Imogen mumbled.
"Hmm," Father agreed silently, not saying a word.
"I'll send her to the human world tonight. I can't let my daughter be bound by a curse. She's done nothing wrong to the Alpha," Father said, and Imogen's eyes widened in shock.
"But father, we can send her away from MoonFall Pack, but not from our world... Sending her to the human world will cost her..."
"Her memories... I know," Father said, cutting her off.
"Her memories are filled with pain. I do not want my daughter to become the shadow of who she is," he snorted.
"But she will forget you, Father," Imogen muttered.
Gabriel Caleb paused, his facial expression contorting.
"If that's what I'll pay in return for my daughter's happiness, I'm ready to pay for it," Father said with clear determination.
I leaned against the portico of his room as I peered through the slightly opened door. my shoulder quivering from helplessness.
I can't do anything, and the father is pushed to a dead end. He wants to send me into the human world.
He is willing to sacrifice so much for my safety, and I can't let him down. I'll make sure to return for vengeance. I'll make sure they all pay for separating me from my only family.
*****
I laid on the bed as my thoughts trailed, thinking about what transpired between Alpha Kameel and me after the marking rituals.
He had asked me out to his chamber, and I had willingly agreed. If only I knew that was going to cost me my joy, family, life, and happiness.
* BACKTRACK TO A WEEK AGO*
"One more step, and we are there," Alpha Kameel whispered, and I blushed hard as I took a step forward while holding the hem of my gown.
"Can you please let go of my eyes?" I pleaded nervously. I wasn't used to the darkness, and I was kind of anxious about what was going to happen next.
I knew this day was bound to come, but then again, I couldn't help being uneasy at the same time, I anticipated what was going to happen.
"Well... I'll be letting go of those pretty eyes to see the surprise that awaits after a short-term darkness."
Alpha Kameel muttered, his hot breath fanning my neck skin, and I couldn't help but shiver as I gulped.
He let out a laugh as he immediately let go of my eyes, and behold, it was the room that had been prepared for the night.
The bed was clothed with a white quilt, and it had red and pink rose petals spread all over it. The middle area of the bed had full petals of perfumed roses made in heart shapes.
Green petals were also added, giving it a touch of nature. On the windows, counters, and tables were open flower candles that had been lit.
I noticed the floor was covered in white and green lily petals, and bunches of daisies and ranunculus flowers were placed in vases at different corners of the room.
The most fascinating part was the light background music in the room.
A table with two wine glasses and a tray of two whole-fried chickens with red-lit candles were placed on the center table, and two chairs were on each side of the table.
I felt my eyes tear up as I looked up at my mate that I'll be getting married to and didn't regret saying "I do" on the ritual altar.
"May I have the honor of dining with my wife-to-be?" He asked in a low, yet seductive, and irresistible tone.
I could have sworn I saw something through his eyes: lust.
'Was he lusting over me when the night is still so young?' I thought and grinned before gently nodding.
Alpha Kameel led me to the table; he pulled out a chair for me like a gentleman would and then took his seat opposite mine.
He picked up the bottle of wine. He uncapped it and poured a bit of content into his and mine wine as well.
"Cheers to our first night together," he mumbled, raising his glass, and waiting to make toast, but I shyly looked away with a flustered face.
"Cheers to our newly mated life!" I finally reciprocated, clinking my glass with his, and we both downed the wine and dropped the empty glasses at the same time.
Alpha Kameel chuckled, and I giggled. "The night is still young, don't you agree?" I suddenly heard his voice beside me, And I Jolted away in shock.
