ISABELLA pov :

My dream of being married to a beautiful lady and having our own little family, crushed into million pieces when I found out that my supposed to be bride got pregnant . I was trying to open my heart for her. Being a princess and soon to be queen, I didn't have any choice when it comes to many things and my marriage is one such thing. So, when my father, the present king, made an agreement with the king of our neighbour country five years ago, I had no choice but to accept it.

After all this, now, suddenly my father says I should marry the younger sister of the lady who's the last heir of the family. This time, I wanted to shout at my father saying I won't marry her, cause I don't like her. Over the years I have seen her during the visits to their country, I realised how she is. She never mingles with her family and seem distant with them. she always stays silent and keeps her to herself.

Everone says that she is a beta and how come my father approved to marry her to me even she can't give us a heir to continue our hierarchy.

So I have no idea of how he even agreed to this. When I asked the same thing, he said, the promise is already made and we can't revoke it in any situation. That made me shut my mouth and now here I'm, standing infront of the elders along the said princess as we're getting married.

The ritual prayers were all chanted and we're left only with the rings.

When the elder told us to exchange the rings, we turn to face eachother and I put the ring on her much thinner finger in comparison with mine.

Later, she places the similar ring on my ring finger. And that made us official couple. I can take over my father's position and become the king/Queen.everyone likes to call me king other than calling me queen so yeah i like to hear that too....In our country, our custom is that once the king's heir is pronounced as married she would automatically take over the king's position making her the queen . So to say now I'm the Queen of our country.

Isabella lets head to the palace the celebration will continue. my mom says.

I nod at her and follow her as she starts walking.we all are arrived at the palace

My father directs me to the head chair where he used to sit. But now that I'm the queen it's my place from now on. By my seat is the chair for my wife where the princess settles down. The other chairs are occupied by the remaining people and our head cook starts serving us the food. Our plates are filled with all the variety of foods.

Usually I would eat until my plate is almost clean but today I don't have any appetite.

I look up when I hear someone calling me.

"Isabella, if you're done eating, we can leave." My mom asks and I nod at her with a smile.

I stand up and the others follow me. We leave the dining room and make our way to the living area.

"We'll take our leave now. It's been great being here. take care of my daughter the king says and they leave.

But they doesn't seem to bother. They bid us goodbye and princess mother hugs her before they leave.

Walking past the living area, I take the stairs to my room. When I reach, the guards open the big doors for me and I step in. Removing the long overcoat, I plop down on the bed and close my eyes. I'm tired, not physically but emotionally and mentally I'm drained. Just a week ago, I was excited about my marriage and going to be becoming the king. I know being a king for a country is not easy but I always wanted to be one. And the thought of my wife who's going to be by my side and helping me with the work made me happy.

But now all my dreams just remained as dreams which would never be fulfilled. Instead I'm stuck with a beta who I never thought of being with. It's funny as how fate plays but we have no choice but to act accordingly.

Sudden noises makes me alert and I immediately open my eyes before sitting up. I release a relief sigh when my eyes fall on none other than my wife she stares right at me and for a second I lost myself in her chocolate brown eyes. It's my first time seeing her face, I didn't look at her even during our wedding and without my knowledge I seem to observe her face and take in her features. the ones that caught my attention is her eyes and lips. her lips are red and plump and her eyes are dark brown and big she have a long black hair.Like, just few hours ago I told I don't like her but now I'm admiring her features. However I would be a fool if I won't appreciate the beauty that's in front of me. As I drown myself in her

I hear yet another sound which shuts my thoughts of her.

"What are you doing?"

"I accidentally let it fall. I'm trying to get it back to it's place." she answers, her voice so soft and small.

"Let it be, the servent will take care of it." I say and she nods before leaving the pot, "when did you get here?"

"I followed you and been in this room from the time you're here."

she followed me all the way but I didn't even know. she's so silent that I wouldn't even know it if she didn't make the sound.

"What's your name?"

Alexa." she responds"Let's just have a fresh bathe and sleep for the night." I suggest as the time is already past 9. It's not that early to sleep but thinking about the marriage from morning resulted in me being exhausted. And sleep doesn't sound bad.

"Aren't you sleepy?" I ask and she nods, "then go to sleep."

"Where do I sleep?"

"Sleep on the bed." I reply and she looks surprised, "it's more than enough to fit ten people. So two people can easily sleep on this. Also don't worry I won't do anything to you, I won't even touch you. I promise."

That makes her believe me because she starts walking towards the bed. Getting on the bed, she lies on the other side and turns off the light. Her back faces me and I do the same, turning my back to her. Many thoughts keep my mind occupied but exhaustion makes my body tired and I fall asleep within seconds while praying for a better tomorrow.

Alexa's pov:

During this cozy night, lying on the soft bed all I should do is sleep peacefully but what I'm actually doing is looking at the sleeping beauty that's in front of my eyes. she looks pretty even when sleeping and I can't take my eyes off of her. I was pretending to sleep and when I realised she's into deep sleep, I turned to her my eyes are fixed on her It might have been few hours but I don't want to sleep yet because that would means the time I have with her would reduce.

I loved Isabella for the first time I saw her.it was like 5 year back when she visit our country with her father.

I was in my room painting some figures on the canvas which was at the huge window. I happen to take a glance out of the window and that was when I saw her. I couldn't avert my eyes from her.The moment I saw her my heart skipped a beat and my whole body shivered. As I was too into observing her, I didn't see which way she walked off. Dropping the paint brush onto the floor, I left my room and ran towards the king's chamber as that was where people who visited us for the first time will be escorted.

After reaching the chamber, I stopped myself and stood behind the back window seeing my parents and the person that came along with him started talking. I didn't want to interrupt them and I could clearly see her from where I was standing so I choose to stay there. My ears went deaf as I don't even bother to listen to what they were talking because all I do is stare at her beautiful face. All throughout my life I have never seen anyone this looking good.

"Thank you for accepting our offer and agreeing to marry our daughter." My father says to which the other person, who I assume is the Princess father nods...

That conversation of them broke me and my heart. Even then, I followed her again when they were going to leave. From a far distance, I saw how she was looking at my sister with a hint of hope in her eyes and that was when my world crumbled.

After every struggle I went through to stay away from her and to forget about her, my father suddenly ordered me I should be the one marrying her and not my sister for the reasons I don't know. I'd say I was shocked, who wouldn't when they were all of a sudden asked to marry their sister's groom? But that shock and thoughts of what would happen to my sister lasted only for few seconds as I eagerly agreed to my father.

I didn't have choice as well, if I wouldn't agree, he would force me but he didn't need to because the one he's asking me to marry is the only person I have ever loved. I was on cloud nine and been happier than I have ever been in my whole life. After that day, everything happened in a blur and now we're already married and she became my husband .

The dejected emotion on her face I saw when we walked to the elders together for the rituals made me realise how she doesn't want to marry me or simply any person that's not my sister. I may not understand how it feels to marry a stranger and not the woman she was told to five years ago. But I can understand that she is sad for not able to marry my sister and not okay with marrying me.

All these thoughts somehow made me sleepy and eventually I felt asleep.

Little sounds wake me up from my sleep and slowly I open my eyes to see what's the commotion about. The other side of the bed is empty and I frown as I think why did isabella leave so early.

"Sorry to disturb you while sleeping. Apologises, my queen." The lady who seems like in her early forties apologizes as I sit up in the bed.

I'll be your personal guard to take care of you. Any needs of yours will be accomplished by me." She bows her head, "would you like me to prepare a bathe for you?"

She asks and I nod at her. As she goes to leave to prepare the bathe, I stop her to ask about Isabella, "where did the king go?"

"The king had to attend a meeting. she told me to inform you to get ready when you wake up." She says and leaves after I nod at her.

I yawn as I look around the room in search of a clock. My eyes widen when I focus on the time that reads as ten o'clock. I slept till ten? I usually get up by six, how did I even sleep for this long? It must be because of me sleeping late last night. Climbing down the bed, I hurriedly leave the room and walk to the bathe area. When I reach, I see the lady has already prepared a bath for me.

Have a bathe, my queen. In the mean time, I'll pick your clothes and make other arrangements." After saying that she gets ready to leave.

"Wait!" I stop her, "what is your name?" I ask because she said she's going to be my guard from now on so I want to know her name.

"Trisa, my name's Trisa ." She answers with a smile and then leaves when I smile back at her.

I take off my clothes and get into the huge bathtub in which the water is filled with sandalwood fragrance. When my body merges into the water, I sigh in relaxation. Few minutes of spending the time in it, I scrub my body of dirt and clean myself. Getting up from the tub, I step down and pull the long towel that's lying on the towel holder. I dry the water with it before wrapping it around my body and leaving the place.

Walking into our room, I see the clothes that are already placed on the dressing holder. Grabbing the first layer cloth, I remove my towel letting it fall onto the floor. And suddenly the front door to our room opens showing Isabella and in the shock I let go of the piece of garment I'm holding. Her eyes widen seeing me naked and I must look like a tomato with how shy I'm feeling.

"I-I'm sorry, I'll come back later." she shutters before leaving and closing the door behind her.

I stay rooted where I'm stunned by the incident. Maybe a minute later or so, I come out of my daze and put on the clothes hurriedly. When I'm totally done, I make my way towards the door to meet Isabella because Trisa said Isabella told me to get ready. Just I go to open the door open it to see isabella standing there with her face flustered a little and that causes me to turn red. I might not forget this incident anytime soon and she seems the same as me as it keeps popping up in our minds wherever we face eachother.

"Um, are you ready?"

"Yes." I reply in return.

"My father asked us to meet together but because you were sleeping I asked Trisa to pass the message." she says, "let's go now."

With that she turns around and starts walking, I follow her lead. After a step or two, trisa stops me, "my queen, you didn't eat anything yet."

Isabella looks around and asks while glancing at me, "you didn't eat breakfast?" And I shake my head no.

"Eat first, we'll leave later. trisa comes back sometime later with a trolley of food with many varieties. Filling a plate of almost all the varieties available, she hands it to me.

"Because it's your first day today she brought the food here. But remember, from tomorrow onwards, you'll have to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at the table along with me and my parents." Isabella says still looking out of the window.

Isabella 's pov:

Take your seats." My father says while pointing to the two empty chairs that are sitting on the opposite side of where he's sitting with my mother beside him.

I do as said and sit on one of the chair while leaving other for Alexa to sit without looking at her. I mean I have no reason to see her but after that event that had happened in my room few minutes ago, I can't look at her without thinking about it. With the speed I ran away from her would be more than enough to know how I felt seeing her naked.

I waited outside for few minutes while trying to calm my wolf and my heart and once I was in good shape, I knocked on the door. she was ready and we were almost leaving but Trisa told she didn't eat food. Knowing it's not good to stay empty stomach for long time, I waited some more time for her to eat and then we made our way here to know what my father want to say.

"So, how are you coping up, Alexa?" He asks while calling her casually because if we talk as family we don't need to talk in formal way.

"I'm fine." She answers with a low tone.

"That's good, then." My father smiles and continues to talk, "so I want you both to visit the market once because that's where most people would be. I can say many haven't attended the marriage and they are mostly from low class who works in market. So if you visit them, those who haven't attended the marriage would be able to see you and you would get a chance to see our people.He explained to Alexa with a soft smile and the girl just nods at my father, agreeing to him.

"Father, how about we escort Alexa with our most trusted guards and send her to market. As she's the one that people should know because I'm already known to everyone. Also, I have few things to look after as it's my first day at work as the king." I give excuses because I don't want to go.

"Ofcourse, Isabella We'll do as you suggested." His words shocks me because I didn't think he would agree with me so fast. My face brightens while Alexa looks sad. Wanting to thank my father, I open my mouth but before I could utter a word he starts speaking again, "and you'll be that most trusted guard."

"Father, what are you saying?" I ask him.

"You're her wife, and who can be a better guard to her wife than husband/wife ? Your work can wait but what if something happens to her while she's away without you? So I'm saying it's your duty to accompany her even when others follow you." He replies while smiling towards Alexa who smiles at him in return, "also don't think you can trick me. I know you're just finding excuses as not to go. But remember, if Alexa has to leave this palace that won't happen until you go along with her." And this time, he has a stern look on his face as if he's warning me.

"I understand, father." I say because I don't want to go against him after knowing he won't accept whatever I say.

"Good, why to wait, just go and get ready to leave. In the meantime, I'll order the guards to make the arrangements for you guys to leave." He states and after us nodding at him, my father and mother leave the room.

"your royal highness" , we prepared the carriage for you and the queen to leave." One of the guard informs and I nod having no other option.

Getting up from my seat, I follow the guard We walk past the garden and reach the place where the horse drawn, our carriage is waiting for us beside which my parents are standing.

My father's eyes narrow when he takes a glance at us and I stop my steps. That makes Alexa bump into my back. I turn around and see her looking up at me while rubbing her forehead where she bumped my shoulder. she looks at me confused but I let that slide and bring my hand towards her and I hold her hand in mine.

Her face flushes to our now interlocked hands. Not minding her amused and happy face, I turn around and see my father smiling at us. I guess I thought right.

Walking towards my parents, we stand infront of them as I wait for them thinking they have something to say.

"Enjoy your time, Alexa." my father told her while smile at her

"And you, Isabella, make sure you take care of her well while roaming in the market. she doesn't know this place so stay by her side all the time. Remember, I won't tolerate any misbehavior from you." He warns me sternly and I groan internally before nodding at him.

After that, we get on the horse drawn and leave the palace. Our journey starts at a smooth pace but as we proceed further, the drawn shakes on the bumpy road and we end up bumping into eachother. We have many drawn's, so I don't know why they choose this small drawn as if it's the only one.

"Can't you sit well? Why do you keep falling on me?" I ask her as she totally falls on me, almost sitting on my lap.

"I'm sorry." she apologise and that makes me angry. Why can't she say it's not her fault when the roads are bad? Why does she apologise for something that was not her fault?

Few more minutes into the ride, we reach the market place. We get down the drawn and start walking around the place. Few guards march ahead of us while few others walk behind us. Everyone bows at us as we walk past them and I smile at all of them.

I take a glance at Alexa and see her watching everyone with a pleasant smile. she's enjoying this and it seems like it's the first time she has ever been out. Here, ofcourse her first time but I mean it's like she haven't done this in his old kingdom.

Our walk continues for sometime until we reach the end after covering the whole place. We stand as we wait for the drawn."Good day, my king ." Someone greets me and I turn to look at that person. I see the palace general, Roy standing in front of us.

"Good day." I greet him back and he smiles in return before looking at Alexa.

"Hello, my queen. My name is Roy, I'm the general of the palace." He introduces himself while bowing to Alexa.

she nods at him with a smile before looking down at her feet. I sigh yet again and thank the God above as our drawn comes into my view. Once the drawn stops infront of us, I get onto it first and Alexa comes after me. As she steps on the drawn step, the horse moves a little and she loses her balance.

My eyes widen when I see her hand that's holding the handle losses the grip and her body falls backwards. I stand up immediately and try my best to catch her but I couldn't make it. However, before her body could hit the ground, Roy rushes forward and catches Alexa.

A series of gasps and whispers fill the area as people witness their queen being held by another man right infront of the king. Alexa immediately pushes Roy's hands that are holding her waist and gets away from him instantly. I get down the drawn, pull her towards me before I help her to get on it. After giving a hard stare at Roy which makes him hang his head low, I get back onto the drawn and leave the place.

All throughout the ride back to palace, I can't stop thinking about the incident that happened minutes ago. I understand Roy was just helping Alexa and there was no other intention apart from wanting to help the queen. However, it doesn't set well with me.

My wolf growl as another person that isn't me touched my queen. I know I don't have any feelings or whatsoever towards her but still she's my wife now and someone else touching her for any reason makes me angry. Roy's hands on Alexa's waist surfaces infront of my eyes as soon as I close them. I close my fist tightly so as to not hit something or someone.

When the drawn pulls to a stop at the palace, we get down and head towards our chamber. I march so fast that Alexa takes two steps when I take one to keep up with me. Everyone moves aside and give us the place to walk without a word. And I know that's because of my expressions. I bet I'd kill a person with how furious I'm.

As soon as the door guards see us, they open the doors and we step in after which the doors get closed. Walking towards the flower pot, I grab it with my hands that are shaking uncontrollably not because of nervousness but because of angriness and throw it on the floor with so much force.

I hate the scene that I witnessed today. I hate getting angry at it because I don't like Alexa but still I'm pissed at what happened. And I hate myself for that.

hope you like it 😁 if you like it like👍 and subscribe 😘😘.

one more thing can I use king for addressing Isabella and also the word husband cause Alexa and Isabella both of them are queen but using queen for both of them it makes confusion. 😖
