Alpha King Damien Wants A Bride

It was a day like every other, dreary. Blackway Prison always have that aura of abandonment and hopelessness, because no one was coming to save us.

Turning eighteen today, didn't stop the shouting, curses and leering the Warden always throws at us. From the side rumours that course through between the prisoners, I know that he pays some of the female prisoners late night visit to satisfy his sick urges. In Blackway Prison it was no better than being dead. Forgotten by the rest of the world. So at the mercy of the Warden, the female would put no resistance from the onslaught and violations that happens to them.

By the mercy of the moon goddess or some higher power, I was one of the few spared from such violations. Each night after my sixteen birthday I would lie awake, praying to the goddess to save me from this hellhole. Fearing the Warden would come for me. But he never visited, my fears subsided a little. That doesn't stop his obvious leering and curses he would throw at me at every given chance.

I have been here since the Revolution of the Black Moon Pack. A decade now, I was brought in here since I was eight. The fight against the Black Moon Pack to overthrow my father, Alpha Adios. My parents were killed in cold blood. Instead of being killed, Alpha Krist saved me and kept me in Blackway Prison. At eight I was reduced from being the Princess of Black Moon Pack to a common prisoner shoveling dirt's and juggling with the kitchen chores. Meals here consist of stale bread and porridge. My belly always ache from hunger pangs but I dare not complain least the Warden hears it and punish me. Two portions meals per day was served to eliminate the hunger that gnaws at us, didn't do much nutritionally. At eighteen, I was so skinny and unattractive.

"Freya, You have a visitor," the Warden voice boomed from his office.

A chilly fear crept through my spine. Alpha Krist. A foreboding feeling knowing he has come for me. I knew there was a reason I was kept in the prison instead of being killed like my parents. Alpha Krist was formidable gaint at eight when I last saw him, now he looks even more dangerous as he lounge on the Warden's couch. His beards were almost closing his mouth. He looks foreboding and I'm sure his wolf is a gaint too.

"The girl looks underfed and malnourished, look how tiny she is Warden," Alpha Krist's anger was well written on his face and tone. The Warden that I always knew to be undefeatable cowers before Alpha Krist. Of course who wouldn't, the man was basically a gaint.

"You know that's how these young girls are, Alpha Krist, " The Warden mumble with fear," they hardly put some flesh, makes them more irresistible."

"Hmmm," Alpha Krist seems to appear convinced.

I stood there motionlessly as he examine me like a sheep for slaughter. "Not too bad I think, I'm sure Amanda would perform some magic on her to make her look more appealing."

"Have you gotten your wolf yet, little princess? You seemed to be of age already, " Alpha Krist said frowning at my tiny frame.

I shook my head, " No I haven't."

" Too bad then but I'm sure once you get close your wolf would surely emerge. Little princess I'm sure you would be delighted to know that you are now free from this hellhole and to the real world where you belong. You are part of the upcoming Bride Selection. You should be delighted dear, freedom at last."

"Bride Selection?" I frowned. Though delighted at the thought of being free, I guess Alpha Krist has big plans for me, The Bride Selection? All I knew about it was that my Mom was choosen after the Bride Selection held in Black moon pack. They were both two powerful bloodlines and mates. A Bride Selection was held for the most powerful Alphas that couldn't find their mate, so the maidens were gathered all through the globe to participate, luckily the alpha finds his mate. Or someone from a strong bloodline is chosen.

"The Alpha King Damien wants a Bride, so little princess you are participating in the Bride Selection, You're eighteen and eligible. And I'm sure you won't need to say goodbye to your prison mates cause we need to be in town before sunset. Amanda needs all the time to get you ready. Let's just hope the Alpha King Damien likes skinny girls because there's no time to get you to fatten up."

"What if I don't want to participate in the Bride Selection? " I dared voice my thoughts.

Alpha Krist face crunched up in anger at my outburst.

"You will, little princess. As you have no choice at all. I kept you alive solely for this purpose and you won't dare back out of this."

"I... Why do you want me to participate in the Bride Selection, there are many elegant women I'm sure the alpha king won't even choose me," I burst out frustrated.

He chuckle. "You will win I assure you," Alpha Krist sharp wolf fingers trail across my pale cheek almost drawing blood. "Because I'm sure the Alpha King Damien has all his senses intact."

*****

I kept silent through out the drive from the prison. Fearing not to upset Alpha Krist anymore. I was scared about my fate and there's nothing I could do to change it. Servants rush to serve Alpha Krist as soon as he arrived at his mansion. It was so sureal being out into the world. The bright beauty of everything eased away my anxiety.

"Get her clean up and presentable," he ordered. I was whisked away into a beautiful bathroom stripped off my dirty prison clothes, while the servants tried to scrub me clean. I let them get their way because the idea of being cleaned up was thrilling. Maybe they could wash every trace from my previous life away.

Food tray was brought in immediately after my bath and I quickly devoured everything, fearing the food would disappear. Munching on every bite like a starved lion. Maybe being part of the Bride Selection was not a bad idea. Years of being hungry and malnourished has clouded my mind. I want a good life too. Like the life I use to have when I was Black Moon princess. If participating in the Bride Selection would make me have such glorious meal everyday, I will do it.

"Look at you, eating like a wild pack of hungry wolf." The beta woman that walked in was exquisite. I can easily tell that she doesn't like me, the disdain was written all over her face. Amanda catwalk around the room marking her territory. She's a beautiful woman, everything about her speaks prestige. "You must be Freya the little princess of the lost black moon pack. Well, I'm not sorry that your family was killed, they deserve it."

If hurting me was her aim she surely succeeded. She laughed thrilling at my silent anger. She knows I can do nothing even if I want to. I don't have a wolf and she knows it as she showed me her vicious claws.

"Stand up," she ordered. Abandoning my food I scrambled up to my feet. "Very unattractive, I wonder how Krist thinks you are suitable for this job." She eyed me with disdain. I watched her pull out a blood dagger and handed it to me. Bewildered I took it. My eyes shooting a million questions at her.

"Participating in the Bride Selection is just a tip in the ice," Amanda laughs enjoying my distress. "What matters is that you must kill the Alpha King Damien as soon as he marks you as his bride."

I let the blood dagger fall to the ground in shock. They are sending me to kill the Alpha King Damien. Her words and her laughter rang through my thoughts. "...Kill the Alpha King Damien."

"He's so handsome!!!"

"He's my prince..."

"Ohh!!! He's gorgeous. I want him for myself."

" I'm going to be His Luna..."

"Alpha King Damien... "

The conversations going on in the ballroom was enough to judge that the Alpha King Damien was handsome and there are women ready to kill for him to be theirs. Unfortunately among the hundred eligible women in this ballroom, I'm the only one planing to kill the Alpha King Damien. With the blood dagger hidden in my dress pocket, I strolled to the food court, hoping to relish every delicacy I could eat. Alpha Krist and Amanda were shooting galores at me from afar. Going over Amanda's lecture about me being compose, demure and mindful. I was once a princess and I should carry myself accordingly even though I literally spent a decade in Blackway Prison. I choose to ignore them and instead enjoy myself before I was caught for killing the Alpha King Damien or trying to. I doubt that I could pull it off. But failure to kill him would result to my death, as I should have been with my parents.

"Now is for me," I muttered to myself as I reach for my third drink only to have someone bump into me and it's contents splash unto my dress. The dress Amanda have painstakingly fitted on my tiny frame. It looks gorgeous on me so I was not about to find out if Amanda would kill me if she saw the stain. I hurried down the corridor to search for the restroom. Wanting to explore, I opened the first door I saw and was met with a dumbfounding sight. There was a shirtless man and a gorgeous woman fucking with the intensity of a wild beast. I quickly shut the door but not without the man winking at me while still thrusting in wild abandon. My face heated as I hurried away. Luckily I saw the restroom that says female and quickly entered.

My face was red. The only thing I know about sex is that it's a painful violations to your body. Of course that's why all the women in the prison hated the Warden that took advantage of them. But that man and woman makes it look enjoyable. The scenario flashed in my mind's eye and I shuddered. Goosebumps all over me.

Sighing I pulled out the blood dagger from my pocket to the dress table. I let water flow down to wash the stain off my dress. Luckily it comes off quickly without hassle. Good thing I won't be shredded by Amanda over the dress.

The door to the restroom opened suddenly and I turned to see the man earlier standing perfectly composed by the doorway. I gasped, instinctively reaching for the blood dagger, which was really stupid because it was supposed to be hidden and the flash in the man's eyes showed that I've been caught.

"As I recall this is the ladies restroom and you aren't allowed here, " I explained, my cheeks flamed as I noticed the sweats on his face. It must be from his earlier tryst. He looks mesmerizing and handsome. His eyes are deep blue. Hypnotizing, one could swim in those endless blue. I quickly diverted my gaze from him and put the blood dagger back into my dress pocket. Gasping I looked up to see the handsome man already striding towards me.

"Your scent is everywhere," he murmured. His voice is like a deep timbre of the ocean. I'm sure he could have every woman he wanted. "I don't think I've seen you before. What is your name?"

"Freya...," I mumbled. I'm sure my cheeks were red. So uncomfortable with this new feeling, I made to leave but this strange beautiful man held my hand to stop me.

"Freya... hmmmm... Freya, your name sounds like the ancient. Your scent is everywhere... damn." I watched him inhale me like he was enjoying it.

Oblivious to the meaning, I thought it must be Amanda's perfume she literally dose me in before coming here.

"A blood dagger? Funny thing to carry on a Bride Selection. If I may ask what's it's purpose for ? "

I gasped when I touched my pocket and found the dagger gone, I didn't notice him taking it away.

"Give it back," I yelled at him, and made to snatch it, only succeeded in bringing our body closer intimately. I could feel his hard-on already hard and poking my stomach. Making my insides to melt, I quickly stepped away from him. Eyeing him dubiously. One moment he's fucking a beautiful woman and the next he's occupying the female restroom with me with his dick already hard.

"It's a family heirloom, " I burst out. Thinking that was enough to convince him to give me back. It worked because he handed me the blood dagger after a thorough examination.

"Thank you," I said reluctantly as I tuck the blood dagger back into my dress pocket. Straightening myself up, I made to leave.

"See you again Freya, very soon, " he called out to me but I ignore him knowing my purpose here was to meet the Alpha King Damien. And I'm not going to meet him by staying in this restroom with this exquisite man.

"Where the hell have you been all this while?" Amanda quietly snapped at me as I came back into the ballroom, making sure she doesn't attract a scandal. Alpha Krist besides her, shot me a vengeful look.

"Chill Amanda I was in the restroom. Or I'm not allowed to take a piss? " I shot her a daring look.

"The Alpha King Damien would soon address us and I want you in my sight," Amanda said ignoring my little spitfire. "I don't want you wandering off at this moment, it's crucial that he perceived your scent."

I nodded absentmindedly, my mind already occupied with a certain man. Wishing I was a normal girl, I didn't even get to know his name. Sighing I took my position back at the food court but staying clear of drinks to avoid another disaster.

" It's the Alpha King Damien..."

" I see him ohh..."

" he's so handsome..."

I turned at the sudden commotion at the appearance of the mysterious Alpha King Damien and gasped as recognition hit me. The Alpha King Damien was no other than the beautiful man from the restroom. How come he didn't say anything? I could literally still feel his hard-on poking my belly. The thought that the Alpha King Damien wants me was thrilling.

" Ohh!!! " I breathed. I can't believe I'm going to have to kill him with the same blood dagger he held a few moments ago. He looks so perfect in his new black suit. I guessed he changed right away after our encounter. I wondered if the lady he was fucking earlier was a contestant. Looking at him, I wouldn't blame the numerous ladies that wants a piece of him. I obviously do too, with my blood dagger to crave a piece of his heart and watch him die. I sighed. That would be harder than I thought. Killing him when I only wanted to feel if his thrust would be as wild intensity with me as it was with that lady he fucked earlier.

"Greetings great wolves of Moonshine Pack. I welcome you all to the Bride Selection. After the revolution ten years ago against the tyrant Alpha Adios of Black Moon Pack and eradication of his entire family. We the moonshine pack welcome a new systems and changes that favoured our pack greatly. The Bride Selection would further strengthen our pack as I take a Bride from the most powerful bloodline here. The bond and allegiance would benefits the moonshine pack and the heir born from this union would be mighty and feared in the future. Then Moonshine Pack would be unstoppable force and feared by our enemies."

The wolves nodded in agreement to the Alpha King's decree. Hearing my father called a tyrant and the compulsory death sentence issue on my entire family made me cold. If the Alpha King finds out that the daughter of Alpha Adios was alive and participating in the Bride Selection, would be the end of me. I wondered what would happen if he caught the tyrant Alpha Adios' daughter trying to kill him with a blood dagger. Maybe his dick should have sensed the upcoming danger.

"I have sense five great bloodlines here today and I would love to spend some quality time with these women to enable me choosing the future Luna of The Moonshine Pack. There will be elimination each week till I choose my one and only Luna. They are, Adriana, Maya, Leah, Ire and Freya."

I gasped as my name was mentioned. I was hoping I won't be choosen. How am I supposed to cope with him being the alpha king I was meant to kill?

Few feets away Alpha Krist and Amanda were whispering to each other. They were happy no doubt. I wonder what they intend to gain by ordering the death of the Alpha King Damien.

"I can't believe that bastard didn't choose her already, he needs to play his numerous games. " Amanda screamed in anger when we got home.

I was still reeling the fact that I have come really very close to Alpha king Damien and I wasn't even thinking of killing him the entire time only fucking him. My insides squish at the memory of our encounter. Killing Alpha Damien would be hard and I didn't need to let my doubts out because Amanda is already spiting fire.

"I'm sure she's going be the choosen one, " Alpha Krist said obviously trying to calm his beta.

"How can you be so sure about that, well she's barely attractive and wolf less. What's a Luna without a wolf? She's basically useless. We are going to lose this."

"No, we are not going to lose, Amanda. She's his mate. He's going to choose her and we'll get what we want. "

I was momentarily stunned. I'm the Alpha King Damien's mate? I'm speechless. My mate. How... Why didn't I recognize him. I thought I was supposed to know when I see my mate.

"Your scent is everywhere.." I could recall the first words from the Alpha King Damien to me. He really did scent me as his mate. Why didn't I perceive him? Was it because I don't have a wolf yet? My other senses are woefully limited. I turned to Alpha Krist to question him. He seems to know everything about me and it's kind of scary thinking he has that power over me.

"How did you find out that he's my mate? " I asked.

"From your father of course. He planned to use you as a bargaining chip to save his life but I have other ideas instead. Killing the Alpha King would automatically make me the most powerful Alpha bloodline in moonshine pack and I will become the Alpha King."

"You want me to kill the Alpha King Damien so you can take his throne? "

"Shut up your mouth. Need I remind you that you are alive because I saved you that day? If anyone finds out your real identity as the tyrant Alpha Adios' daughter you will be dead or thrown into a worst place than Blackway prison. So you better don't get any ideas. Alpha King Damien will kill you if you ever tell him your true identity. Thanks to me everyone thought you are dead like your family."

"Welcome to the Alpha King Damien's mansion, Miss Freya. As one of the contestant of the Bride Selection I will show you to your room. Alpha King Damien would be present for the welcome dinner which is 8pm. You will meet the other contestants at the dinner too. Now you're allowed to rest and freshen up for the evening. " I nodded and smiled at the Butler as he carried my bags to my assigned room. Alpha King Damien's mansion was huge and monstrous.

My room was exactly how I would have loved it to be. I wondered how he knew my taste. The floral curtains. The view from the window is breathtaking. I was going to love here. I quickly change out of my dress. I have a bag full of beautiful dresses. Amanda didn't hold back in giving me everything I needed to win this Bride Selection. The blood dagger lay at the bottom of my bag. I refuse acknowledging it. It lay there like a taboo, a responsibility I'm running away from. Sighing I let my gown fall to the ground. Tied up a towel before a knock sounded at the door. Thinking it was the Butler I hurried to open it and instantly regretted. The sight of Alpha King Damien at the doorway with

only a thin towel covering me was a very bad idea. My thoughts were instantly clouded by him. My mate.

"Freya, " he said. The sound of my name was my undoing. "I can smell you everywhere that I can't wait until dinner to see you. It's a very strange thing, how this works."

I wet my dry lips.

"You didn't tell me you were the Alpha King Damien," I said, blushing.

"You didn't seem to mind then. You were so eager to get away from me." His eyes rake down my body. I could see the raw hunger in them. He was trying to restrain himself from tearing my towel and having me right now. He needed to mark me as his mate but was restraining himself for reasons I don't know.

"I'll see you at dinner then," I offered breaking off the moment. His eyes were red from desire and I know he's taking a huge self control to hold himself back from claiming me.

"Very well Freya, I will see you at dinner." I quickly closed the door as he left. My heartbeat race frantically, I eased myself into the bathtub and let the soapy water soak my body. A privilege I lacked in the prison. Alpha King Damien, I don't know what to think about him. My sense were too confused to think about him. Kill him or fuck him? After much contemplation I arrived at one conclusion. I was going to fuck Alpha King Damien, make him mine and then kill him after he makes me his bride. That was the only way I could appease Alpha Krist and Amanda. And myself.

I was awoken by a sound and realized that I've fallen asleep in the bathtub. Turning to see a young omega setting out a dress for me. She smiled when she saw that I was awake.

"Hello I'm Beatrice, your handmaid. I'm here to help you dress up for dinner," she said timidly.

"Thank you Beatrice," I said as I climbed out of the bathtub, already cold from the over long shower. Drying myself up I noticed the dress laid out for me. It wasn't one of mine.

"Did Alpha King Damien set this out for me?" I asked feeling silly with a stupid goofy smile on my face. It's a very special gesture. He was my mate after all. An advantage to me.

The girl smiled and nodded. I felt like the princess I have once been as she adorned me the exquisite dress. It's floral pattern was like that of a peacock. It's a kind of dress that would cause heads to turn. My insides melted with happiness. If I was a different girl than I was, then it was going to be called love for her mate. But all was facade that would soon fade when I plunge that blood dagger into Alpha King Damien's chest to stop his hear
