Ethan's POV
This is the day. What day? The day where I will be forcefully married to none other than Lacey. Ew, just her name already made me want to puke. I was at my room preparing for the occasion with my brother helping me. I didn't see Ruby anywhere so I asked "Where's Ruby?" He give me a deep sigh "Father insisted that she helped Lacey with her preparations" I looked down. "You think the plan will work?" He looked at me "It has to work. I can't stand having a sister-in-law like Lacey and a Luna like her" He said sarcastically which made both of us burst out laughing.
After some minutes, I finally finished getting ready and was now walking down the hallway to the wedding venue. My brother catch up with me and we talk all the way there. Once we arrive, I stand on the wedding stage with a cold stare at the door. My brother stand beside me as my best man as the priest stand behind me. My brother tap me on the shoulder "Good luck" He said and I nodded. Suddenly, the bell sounded and Lacey walked in with her father by her side, leading the way. I can't wait for this to just be over. Just then, I spotted Ruby on the other side of the stage. She nodded at me as I mouthed to her "You're her maid of honor?!" She shrugged and mouthed back "Forced exactly" I chuckled and looked back at Lacey smiling so wide when she looked at me. I put my most disgusted face mentally.
She walked infront of me as her dad give me her hand to me "Take care of my daughter" He said before we both face each other infront of the priest. "We are gathered here to unite our prince, Ethan Black with his bride, Lacey Lancaster in a beautiful wedding" The priest said "You may now switch your vows" He continued. Lacey's smile widened as she looked at me "I, Lacey Lancaster, accepted you, Ethan Black, to be my legal husband, may we both love each other until death do us apart" She said as I laughed internally. I can see Ruby already smirking from a distance "I, Ethan Black..." I smirked and yelled "REJECTED you, Lacey Lancaster, to be my legal wife!" People started gasping in shock as Lacey looked at me with wide eyes and confusion "What? What do you mean Ethan! You loved me remember?"
I shook my head and shouted to everyone in the room "Everybody listen!" Their conversation died down immediately and they looked at me "I love someone else! She is the love of my life, My world, My queen, My Luna, and your queen too! Her name is Elisabeth Gray! She's-" Lacey cut me off "But she's a human! Do you want your queen to be a human?!" She yelled and then everyone started whispering again "She may be a human, but I love her! She's my mate!" I yelled. "I was forced in this marriage with my father which I don't know why!" I said. Just then Ruby shouted to me "Ethan! Go! Now!" I looked back at her as she rushed over to me "If you love her, go! Bring her home!" I smiled at her "I'm so happy I have a sister like you" I kissed her head out of happiness and received a growl from my brother. I looked over to my brother and ran to hug him too. He hissed "Dear Lord, Go!"
"Thank you, you two!" I shouted as I ran towards the door and rushed outside. I got one mission here, I have to find my Lizzy and bring her home. I swift to my wolf form so that I could run faster towards the human world. I swift back to my human when I arrived and started walking around asking people if they know a 'Elisabeth Gray'. After what looks like 3 hours of searching, I finally found a elder lady and asked her "Excuse me ms?" I said as she looked to me "Why hello there young man" She smiled "I'm sorry to disturb you but do you know where a 'Elisabeth Gray' live?" I said "Yes, I know where she lives, She always helped me bringing all these cookies to my bakery and helped me with the house and my cats" She said as I smiled widely. That's the Liz I know. "Mind if I asked who are you to her?" She said "I'm her...boyfriend" I blushed "Oh! I didn't know that" she said "I'm afraid you can't see her today" I frowned "Why?" She looked away "She is out of town traveling with a boy whom I guess her friend" My blood boiled with jealousy when she said that. "Can you maybe give me the address to her house?" I said "Sure" Then she grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down the address.
After receiving the address, I walked back to my world with major excitement. Ruby came up to me and shower me with lots of questions immediately "Where is she? Where did she live? Who did you met there? Have you talked to her? Do you-" I cut her off "She lives in a mansion in the human world and she's out of town with a friend today so I have to see her tomorrow, I met a nice old lady and many more people" I smiled at her "Aww, I thought I'm gonna meet my bestie toda- wait, Who is this friend? I'm jealous" She put her finger on her chin thinking as I do the same thing with her. Just then Andrew came up to us but we're still lost in our thoughts.
"Oh my God Ethan, what did you do to My Ruby?!" He shouted as we both jumped. I looked at Ruby and realised that she was drooling. Ruby looked back at me with round eyes as we both burst into laughter. Andrew shook his head "You guys are unbelievable. Anyway, bed time, chop chop!" He grab Ruby's waist and throw her over his shoulder "Ack! Andrew! I can walk you know!" She shouted "I'm not letting you walk when you have me near you" He said. She groaned and said "Ahh, I give up. I'll see you later Ethan" and her head dropped. I chuckled to myself and saw them walking away as I go outside looking up at the stars. "Wait for me, Lizzy, I'll come for you" I whispered. I walk down the hallway to my room and was fast asleep.
~Next Morning~
Breakfast is awkward. Why? Because no one dare's to say anything nor make any sound since that rejection incident. My dad always gave me a glare everytime I looked at him. I only glared back. Once breakfast is done, I rush back to my room and change into a white shirt and black jeans. I rushed back outside and bump into someone. They let out an 'oof' and slipped but I caught them just in time. When I looked to see their face, my gaze darkened and I let them go. They fall to the ground and shouted "Ethan! Where are you going?" A girl's voice said "Away from you Lacey" I said "Why would you want to leave me?" She whined as I turned to her "Because you made Liz go away and you ruin my life!" I shouted at her "You should ask your dad-" She flung her hands to her mouth as I turned to her "What did you say?"
I drag Lacey with me to the dining room as she struggled against my grip. When we arrive, everyone's attention turned to us. I yank Lacey forward "Tell them what you said to me earlier!" I demanded. She flinched as I saw dad's eyes widened with shock. I smirked as Lacey started talking "Y-your dad came to me one day and begged for power. H-he said that he'll do anything for that. So I said that he have to force you to marry me. My dad don't know anything about this, but he was happy when you agreed to the wedding but was angry at me when you rejected me" She winced as I looked at my dad "Is that true dad?" Everyone gasp as mom looked at him in disbelief. "What.The.Hell, dad" Andrew said breaking the silents. "You sold our son and ruined his life just for power?!" Mom shouted at him as he looked down.
"I never wanted to hurt my family, especially you, Ethan, I know that Lacey is not your mate, and I know that Liz is your real mate, but I was blinded by power" He said "I can't believe you, dad" I said coldly as he stand from his seat and looked at me "But son-" I cut him off "I gotta find Lizzy" and just like that, I rushed outside without wasting another second in the room. God, how I hate my father. How can he choose power over his own family?
