Betrayed by an alpha claimed by a lycan king

As we continued along the unfamiliar route, my heart raced with uncertainty and my mind spun with questions. lowever, my apprehension soon gave way to bewilderment. as we came to a stop in front of the grand entrance of a renowned mall that stood as a beacon of opulence within the kingdom.

This mall had earned its fame not only for its exquisite architecture but also for its collection of exclusive boutiques featuring luxury brands. Accessible only to the elite, royals, and rich members of other packs, it served as a haven for those with discerning tastes and deep pockets. The allure of its offerings was undeniable, yet its exclusivity served as a stark reminder of the gaping divide between the haves and the have-nots in our society. I've seen this place from the outside a couple of times whenever I go to school, but never once have I stepped foot inside this mall.

But what are we doing here? Surely they weren't planning to execute me inside this mall, did they?

My heart was pounding when Beta Scott got out of the car and opened the door on my side. I was having second thoughts about whether I should step out of the car or just stay inside. I don't know what fate awaits me outside.

"My

my hesitation, I have no other choice but to get out of the car. I'm sure this car can't even protect me from my ill-fated life.

I expected to be dragged and humiliated, but all I experienced until now was the opposite. What the hell is going on here?

"Sir, where are we going?" I asked once again.

"My lady, please speak informally to me," he replied. "Please follow me," he added, completely disregarding my last question.

Though I'm still confused, I have no other choice but to follow him. Someone opened the door for us and immediately bowed their heads as we walked along the hallway. I also noticed that, aside from the staff, we were the only people in the mall, as if they only opened it for us. for us. 12:16 Tue, Sep 10 GO

"Do you see anything to your liking, my lady? Beta Scott asked.

"W-What?" I stuttered. I completely understand what he said, but what I don't

understand is why he is doing this. Isn't he supposed to drag me down the dungeon and give me one hundred lashes for trying to deceive the king?

"Is this place doesn't suit your taste? Would you like to go to another place?" he asked.

"N-No, no, no! That's not what I meant. I was just a little confused. Can you help me out here? What's going on?"

He then looked a at me as as if he were eyeing me. I cleared my throat, as I felt uncomfortable when he started to look at me from head to toe.

You're not used to this, are you?"

Can he tell that just by looking at me? Am I that obvious? I thought I was able to conceal the fact that I know nothing about luxury because of the dress that Annika made me wear. But it seems like, despite this beautiful dress that I'm wearing, Beta Scott can see right through me. He knows that I'm a fraud.

"If you're going to end my life, please do it quickly." Even though I feel that it's unfair that I'm the only one bearing the consequences of my family's action, I have no choice but to accept it. The only good thing about what happened today was that I'm finally. free from all the pain and suffering that I've been enduring for the last few years of my

life.

He chuckled. "No one's going to die here today, my lady."

I was puzzled by his response. Is he not planning to kill me? Then what is he planning to do? Is the king aware of this?

"Then, what are we doing here, sir?"

"Madam, please call me Scott," he insisted. "And to answer your question, I don't mean to offend you, but I don't think what you're wearing right is fit for a wedding. We're here to get you a new dress before I present you in front of the Lycan King. And at the same time, we're going to get your whole new wardrobe," he explains.

"My what?!" I uttered it in surprise. It took me a few minutes before I recovered from shock. "I appreciate your offer, but I don't think I can afford a single thing here." It's true. Aside from this borrowed dress from Annika, I have nothing in my pocket. "You have nothing to worry about, madam. This is a welcome gift from His Majesty." You A welcome gift?"

"Don't be so surprised, madam. Every new concubine received this gift on their wedding day," he said.

I'm not sure whether I should be relieved or disappointed upon hearing that. Just when I was feeling valued and appreciated, Beta Scott pulled my feet back to the ground, reminding me of my reality.

I lowered my head to hide my embarrassment. This is what I get for letting myself dream that I deserve to have something nice just once. "Please, get whatever you need, madam.".

1 forced a smile on my face. "Well, as you said, I'm not used to this. So, I have what to do," I admitted. "I will really appreciate your help."

He smiled sweetly, which was the first time I ever saw him smile. "That's my job, madam. I'll help you however I can," he replied. Thank you."

He gestured with his hand so I could walk in front. I take the lead despite having no idea what to do next. I looked around, and I was amazed by the beautiful clothes, shoes, makeup, and perfume that can be found in different boutiques inside the mall. Beta Scott must have sensed my confusion, for he quickly came to my aid with a suggestion.

"Shall we start by looking for your wedding dress, madam?" He proposed, his tone. carrying a reassuring undertone.

Feeling relieved, I quickly agreed. I was scared of making mistakes, so I acted like I knew what I was doing, even though I didn't.

We walked towards where the wedding dresses were kept, and I felt a mix of excitement. and nerves.

I concentrated on finding the perfect wedding dress, my mind consumed by the task. I couldn't explain it, but a strong desire surged within me-1,wanted to look good in front of His Majesty.

As I sifted through the racks of beautiful gowns, each one more elegant than the last, I felt a mixture of excitement and apprehension. The thought of meeting the powerful Lycan king ignited a fire within me, driving me to find a dress that would impress him and leave a lasting impression. 12:16 Tue, Sep 10 G. Chapter 8'

"I must find the perfect dress," I whispered to myself, my voice barely audible amidst the quiet murmurs of the nearby boutiques. With each gown I examined, my heart raced with anticipation, silently pleading for one to stand out above the rest.

As

s the hours passed, one particular gown caught my eye. It shimmered with an otherworldly elegance, its fabric flowing like moonlight on a forest floor. I was so mesmerized by the dress that I didn't notice that I had been staring at it for quite too long. I was pulled out of my reverie when I heard Beta Scott's voice from behind me.

"Please bring us that dress," Beta Scott ordered the staff as he pointed at the dress that I'd been staring at.

They immediately removed the dress from the mannequin as the other staff member was leading us towards the fitting area.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

It didn't take long before the staff brought me the dress that I'd been staring at a few minutes ago. As soon as my hand touched the soft fabric of that dress, I instantly knew that it cost a fortune.

"How much is this dress?" I asked. Even though Beta Scott said that this would be a welcome gift from His Majesty, I don't want to give the impression that I'm into luxurious things.

"You don't have to worry about the price, madam. Just feel free to try on the dress," Beta Scott answered.

Despite my hesitation, I walked towards the dressing room to change. I slipped into the dress, feeling its soft embrace envelop me like a lover's touch. The wedding dress was stunning, all white and fitting me perfectly. It had a low neckline, showing just a bit of my chest, and hugged my body just right. The fabric felt soft against my skin, and as I moved, it flowed gracefully around me. With each step, I felt like a princess, wrapped in the elegance of the moment. In this dress, I felt beautiful and confident, ready to embark on the journey of a Gazing into the mirror before me, I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Then we'll be getting this. And throw me a couple of casual dresses, accessories, and shoes as well, he ordered the staff.

After that, we proceeded to go to the salon for my make-up. A lot of people were circling around me as they did my hair and make-up. And while we're at that, Beta Scott tinues to brief me on what's about to happen next.

"After this, we'll return to the palace, where you'll stand before His Majesty," Beta Scott explained firmly. "Remember, under no circumstances should you raise your head or glance at the king. It's strictly forbidden for brides to see His Majesty's face. Is that

clear?"

As Beta Scott's words sank in, I nodded solemnly, understanding the gravity of the situation. The palace awaited, and with it, the momentous encounter with the Lycan king. It was a rule ingrained in our customs, a tradition shrouded in mystery and reverence. The thought of standing in the presence of such power and prestige sent a shiver down my spine.

With each step we took towards the palace, my heart quickened with anticipation and trepidation. The weight of Beta Scott's warning hung heavy in the air, a constant reminder of the rules I must adhere to. As we approached the grand entrance, I couldn't help but steal a fleeting glance at the towering structure before me. The palace loomed before us, its majestic spires reaching towards the heavens. It was a sight to behold, a symbol of strength and authority that commanded respect from all who beheld it. With Beta Scott by my side, I stepped across the threshold, ready to face whatever challenges awaited me within its hallowed halls.

As we made our way through the opulent corridors, my heart raced as I stood before the throne, unable to lift my head. I could feel the pounding of my heart in my chest, Tue, Sep TU GO Chapter
