CHAPTER 4

ADRIANA'S POV

On getting home, I felt a little strange, but I shook off the thoughts and entered into the house nevertheless.

As I entered into the sitting room, I met my stepmother and step-sister already waiting for me.

They seem anxious, but who cares? After all, it had nothing to do with me.

“ Where were you last night?” My stepmother asked, folding her hands under her breast, but I rolled my eyes.

“ As if you care” I mumbled with an eye roll.

“ I guess she went to sleep with a lowlife since Lucian rejected her” Stella, my step-sister mocked, and I glared at her.

If only I wasn't a weak omega.

If only I had an alpha bloodline like Stella, she wouldn't be mocking me right now because I would have been the Luna of the pack, but everything fell apart because she seduced Lucian.

“ Why were you calling me earlier? And you both look anxious” I stated, and my stepmother cleared her throat.

“ I want you to help your sister with something” she started, and I almost scoffed.

Sister? Is Stella my sister? I really don't think so because no sister would steal her sister's mate from her.

“ Sister? I don't think I have any sisters because the sister I thought I had died last night at the pack house when she kissed my mate right in front of me” I glared at Stella, but she said nothing.

“ You've grown wings that you have the guts to talk back at me, right?” my stepmother glared at me, but I said nothing.

“ I want you to be a substitute bride for Stella” my stepmother said, and I burst into laughter.

What does this duo take me for? A fool? Who could be use any time they like?

“ And why would I be a substitute for Stella, since she's in love with Lucian, she should get married to him then” I rolled my eyes and my stepmother moved closer to me?

“ Exactly why I need your help. Stella was arranged to marry the Lycan king of Hell bound pack, but she's in love with Alpha Lucian, so I want you to marry the lycan king instead of Stella” my stepmother said, and I looked at her unbelievably.

Is she serious right now?

Me? A substitute to someone I don't know?

“ I am sorry mother, but I can't do it, I am never getting married to someone I don't know” I said and walked upstairs to my room, but my stepmother and Stella followed behind me.

“ The wedding is in one hour time, Adriana. Do you want all of us to die? What if Stella runs away because she would rather not marry the Lyman king, and he finds out and kills your father, you and I?” My stepmother asked, and I stopped walking without turning to face them.

It was a fact. The Lycan king of the Hell Bound pack was capable of wiping our entire family without being questioned if he finds out that Stella refused to marry him, but what about me?

What if he finds out that I am just a substitute for his real bride, won't I get killed?

“ Please do this for us, Adriana, and we will forever be grateful. Your father would make sure that the lycan king doesn't find out that you're merely a substitute” my stepmother said and I sighed.

Maybe this was the sign. Just perhaps this was a sign to escape this family and live my life freely in another pack, where I would be free from mockery and bullying.

“ Okay, fine. I will be a substitute bride for Stella” I muttered and Stella immediately hugged me, but I pushed her away slightly. I knew it was a fake hug, and she didn't mean it, but does it matter now?

I was leaving the house anyway, so it didn't matter.


In just an hour, I was dressed in a white wedding gown, revealing my flawless porcelain skin. Despite all the beating and mistreatment from my stepmother, my skin usually heals faster and became I became more fair with a flawless skin.

We got to the wedding hall, and I was led into the hall by my father, who held my hand as he led me to the front of the hall where the groom stood.

To me, this marriage was just a way to escape the hellhole called a home, and it didn't mean anything to me. If it were other she-wolves, they would be very excited to be married to a Lycan king and become a Luna, but I was different from other she-wolves.

I stood in front of my groom who had a straight face on, and we exchanged wedding vows and also wedding rings.

Though I could hear the murmurs and whispers from the crowd, but I cared less. All I wanted to do, at that moment, was leave my pack and start afresh.

In less than an hour, the wedding was over, and we went to the crowd to greet the people who came to the wedding.

I found out that the Lycan king was not comfortable, and I frowned and moved closer to him before whispering.

“ Why are you comfortable?” He staggered because he was cut unaware, and I frowned.

I have heard of the lycan king, he was ruthless and feared no one, but how come he was uncomfortable and all shaky on his wedding day?

Even though I tried to think of possible reasons why he was uncomfortable and all shaky, I just couldn't wrap my head around it, but I shook the thought off.

After all the greetings, a car was waiting for me and the lycan king, and it took off immediately we got in.

I felt my heart racing since it was just two of us in the car, but the lycan king was more nervous than I was, I could feel it.

“Hey” I called, and he faced me sharply.

“ Huh?”

“ You're not the Lycan king, are you?” I asked and he froze.

No one in my pack had ever seen the lycan king, they just heard of him, so no one said anything during the wedding since they assumed that my groom was the Lycan king, but I could feel it that he wasn't the one.
