Chapter 5 - Chapter 1

Present Day, New York City

ALEXA KLAUS

I woke up unsure how to face the day, I have been locked up in the Klaus building my entire life. My father believed that a prophecy foretells that I was the key to the salvation of our kind and the destruction of my family also, and so he kept me hidden away from the world, under constant guard. I never had the chance to experience life outside these walls until my betrothal to Alpha Declan.

Alpha Declan was a powerful and ruthless Alpha, and also a friend of my father's. He was chosen for me by my father because of his power and influence, and it was my duty to marry him to secure the future of our kind and extend my father's influence, at least that was the reason I was given. I never question my father's decision, no one questions my father, he has been the one making every decision about my life since I was a child, even my late Mom had no say in what happens in my life. And when I saw Alpha Declan, I thought that he was everything I needed in a mate. But on the night of our mating ceremony, I could feel that something was not right.

The ceremony was held in the Klaus building, and it was a grand affair. Alpha Declan looked handsome in his suit, and I felt beautiful in my gown. We exchanged vows and rings, and then we were pronounced mated. I could feel the heat between us, and I knew that it was time for us to consummate our union.

We retired to our room, and Alpha Declan started to undress me. His hands were rough, and his touch was almost painful. I felt uncomfortable, but I tried to ignore it. He kissed me deeply, and I responded. I could feel his need for me, and I wanted him too. He was my first, and he told me I was his too. We were both inexperienced, but we managed to figure it out. But I knew he was lying.

We kissed and our tongues danced together, exploring each other's mouths. My hands ran through Alpha Declan's hair, pulling him closer to me. His hands were roaming all over my body, pulling me in close and pressing his body against mine.

We moved to the bed, our bodies pressed together as we kissed hungrily. I moaned as he trailed kisses down her neck, nibbling on her sensitive skin.

I couldn't believe how good this feeling was and I wondered why I haven't had sex ever since. Alpha Declan gently laid me down on the bed and crawled on top of me, our bodies pressed together once again.

My body was on fire as Alpha Declan kissed his way down my body, pausing to suck on my nipples. I arched my back, pushing my breasts closer to him, wanting more.

He took one of my nipples into his mouth, sucking and biting it gently. I gasped, the pleasure shooting through my body.

I reached down and unbuckled his pants, pulling his hard cock out. I stroked it gently, marveling at how big and thick it was. I wasn't sure what I was doing but I had an idea from all the romantic and erotic literatures I had read.

Alpha Declan pulled my pants off, revealing my wet panties. He ran his fingers over my pussy, making me moan with pleasure. He slipped his fingers inside me, exploring my wetness.

I was lost in a haze of pleasure as Alpha Declan kissed his way back up my body, his mouth finding mine once again. Our tongues tangled together as he pushed himself inside me, filling me completely.

Our bodies moved together, in perfect sync as we made love. I cried out in pleasure as Alpha Declan pounded into me, his cock hitting all the right spots.

We came together, our bodies shaking with the force of our orgasms. Alpha Declan collapsed on top of me, our breathing ragged as we lay there, wrapped in each other's arms.

Alpha Declan held me in his arms. He whispered sweet nothings in my ear, and I could feel his love for me. But I couldn't reciprocate those feelings. I could feel that he wasn't the one for me. I could feel my true love calling to me from somewhere beyond these walls.

The next few days were a blur. Alpha Declan and I were officially mated, and we had to attend various ceremonies and events to celebrate our union. He was always by my side, holding my hand and guiding me through the crowds. I felt like a princess, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was not right.

One night, as we were lying in bed, Alpha Declan asked me if something was bothering me. I hesitated for a moment, but then I decided to tell him the truth.

"I don't know, Alpha Declan. I thought I loved you, but now I'm not so sure anymore," I said, looking at him with uncertainty.

He looked at me, and I could see the hurt in his eyes. "What do you mean, Alexa? We're mated now. We're supposed to be together forever," he said, his voice shaking.

"I know, but I can't help how I feel. I just have this feeling that there's someone else out there for me," I said, tears streaming down my face.

Alpha Declan looked at me for a moment, and then he got up from the bed. He started pacing back and forth, and I could see the anger in his eyes.

"You can't do this to me, Alexa. You can't just throw away everything we have because of some feelings you have. We're mated now. You're mine," he said, his voice rising.

"I'm sorry, Alpha Declan. I don't want to hurt you, but I can't help how I feel," I said, trying to calm him down.

Alpha Declan turned to me, and I could see the darkness in his eyes. "You'll regret this, Alexa. You'll regret ever crossing me," he said, his voice cold and threatening. I got up, packed my bags and headed back to my father's house. I thought long and hard about what I had done, my father was very angry with me but there was nothing else he could do. I was his baby girl and he loved me more than he'd care to admit.
