Chapter 2 Tomorrow's Price

Tomorrow's Price.

Korrah's P.O.V.

"Come over here,my beautiful daughter,and have a seat"My mother said to me.

I quickly went close to her,and sat comfortably.

My mind wasn't in any way stable because of the presence of the Alpha,and not necessarily because of his ill-hearted soldiers.

A man whom I hated and detested so much. A man who has made me suffer shame and humiliation from people,now coming to my parents house,to sit comfortably.

"Wait a minute. Is this the visitors that we have been expecting since?"I asked, as I whispered into my mother's ear.

She smiled, and encouraged me to relax, that nothing bad is going to happen.

After some minutes of strict silence was observed,the Alpha raised his hands up, passing a symbolic message to my father,who in turn, understood what he was communicating.

"I thank you all for coming to my house. I am most honored today, because the gods have chosen to crucify all my sorrows, and beautify my pains with joy. To the great Alpha of our wonderful pack,I salute you,and pray that our programs for today won't be in vain"My father said,as he prayed.

Everyone who was there in the room with us,all responded with 'Amen', except me. This is because I have no knowledge of what they intend to do there, and In Fact,I don't know what my presence would contribute in their midst.

My father then raises up his hand, telling the Alpha to speak out his intentions.

"Like I have previously informed you,Mr and Mrs Jerry,I didn't just fall in love with your daughter,Korrah. The first day I saw her, my wolf started craving for her. I immediately marked her as a mate,but I didn't make it known to anyone that she would be my mate because I was scared of what people would say. However, today, I have decided to come officially, to tell you all that Korrah here is my mate,given to me specially by the moon goddess"The Alpha Informed.

I was angry, and sad. How dare him call me his mate?. Is he trying to play me for a ride or what?. After all he has done to me in the past?. Nevertheless,I was still very surprised because I can't believe that a werewolf would get romantically connected to me. It wasn't just a romantic affair, but something that would definitely lead to marriage. From my experiences on werewolves marking another as a mate,it must definitely lead to them getting married. But in this case,the Alpha of our pack already has a wife. Why does he want another wife?"I said to myself.

"I would like to see you outside my dear Korra"My mum said to me,tapping my shoulder,to follow her outside. I knew that she wanted to explain something important to me. It was always in her attitude to explain things to me in secret, whenever she knew I would become upset with her.

Thirty minutes later,we came back to the parlor,after she must have finished explaining everything to me,about how the Alpha of our pack marked me as a mate, and fell in love with me.

But my issue with her and my dad was why they couldn't tell me this before now?. Only bringing the news to me as if I don't have a choice in life.

She finally told me that they did it,to protect me from others, so that it won't divert public attention to us.

Nevertheless,the Alpha wanted to go home with me,since it is a custom of the wolf realms,for the bride to go home with the groom,on the first day of their introduction. I never wanted to give the Alpha a listening ear,but due to what my mother told me, about going far in life,than most of my peers, I started giving it second thoughts.

In Fact,it has never crossed my mind that someone like the Alpha of our pack, would stoop so low, demanding to get married to me. I was happy, but my mind and peace of mind, was greatly troubled.

"I am very sorry my dear, that I didn't come before now,to speak to you about this. I was supposed to come,but due to the ongoing war in the realms, I didn't have time to come.

Meanwhile, I would be greatly happy, if you would accept to be my wife"The Alpha Said to me.

"But you already have a wife, if I am not mistaken"I said, in an audacious manner.

My words brought everyone's attention to me,as they all started looking at me in a strange manner.

No one in the pack has the right to talk or challenge words with the Alpha, without responding amicably with fear and respect, back to him. I believe that this was why they were all surprised.

"Yes I have a wife, my dear"He responded.

"So, why need a second wife?"I asked him.

"I am a man. I don't usually chase after women. However, my wolf has marked you for a long time. Just that o have been the one kicking against him. But currently,I think it's time to take you in as a wife. I strongly believe that anything that happens, happened for a reason"The Alpha said.

I was silent for a while,just fixing my gaze on him. I don't love him, but I will have to learn to love him because he is the only option I am currently seeing for myself and if I miss this particular option, things may not go well with me.

"I believe you know that I don't have a wolf?"I asked him.

"Yes, I know. I believe it's one of the reasons that my wolf keeps leading me to your place. I Am very sure that there is a silent wolf in you, that needs to surface out"He replied.

His words brought a glimmer of hope upon me. I looked at the faces of my parents,and saw that they were very astonished,hearing this from him.

I don't know why the Alpha decided to look calm, and now very understanding. Unlike before, when I used to know him to be a ruthless and arrogant man. Maybe he has decided to turn a new leaf or maybe,that wasn't his usual attitude in the first place.

But one thing I know deeply about him, is that he is a corrupt looking man, who is in great alliance with the central government of all realms,headed by Lycan Goliath.

"I shall give a thought about your proposal"I responded to him.

All eyes were still on me, after responding to him. I just answered like this to him,trying to pass across a message to them that I don't know the custom of the realm.

"I would have loved to honor your choice,but I want to bring out the wolf in you within a few weeks from now. Trust me, I will do it,"Alpha Sun Said to me.

I became very happy,wishing to follow him immediately,not knowing that it was a deceptive wooing that would set me up on the global stage soon.
