To control my father and brother's power, the Alpha King forced me into an arranged mating with his son, Kael , a wolf I'd never even met. On our mating day, Kael's mistress, an omega named Ivy blocked my procession. "Do you think you can steal someone's mate just because your family's power?" "Kael and I already pledged ourselves to each other. If the Iron-Claw Pack hadn't used their power, I would be his mate." "If you have any shame, reject this bond yourself. Don't take what's mine." My brother snarled. "If my sister doesn't want this union, no one can force her." I looked at all the gifts the Alpha King sent and smiled. "Brother, I have the Iron-Claw Pack's forty thousand warriors behind me. Who could possibly make me suffer?" "As long as I don't suffer, they're the ones who will." After all, my father is the Alpha of Iron-Claw pack, the strongest pack in existence. Anyone who wants to bully me better check if our pack allows it first. "You stole my mate. How can you enter the Royal Palace without any guilt?" On my mating ceremony, someone blocked my path. Through the veil, I saw Ivy, an omega. Ivy's eyes filled with tears as she cried loudly, "Can the Iron-Claw Pack abuse their power like this and steal someone's mate?" "If not for you, Kael was supposed to choose me." The wolves gathered to watch the ceremony whispered among themselves: "What's happening?" "You don't know? Prince Kael's love for that omega isn't a secret. The Queen Luna just thinks she is too weak and won't let her son take her as mate." Kael shifted from his wolf form and helped Ivy to her feet. "Why torture yourself? I told you I'd give you a position eventually." Ivy's eyes filled with tears as she shook her head. "Once your mate enters the territory, pack matters are her domain." Then she dropped to her knees before me, baring her neck. "Omega Ivy begs you for mercy. Let me and Kael be together. " "I don't need a status. I just want to be with the one I love, until we're old and gray." Kael's eyes turned red. He clenched his jaw and looked toward me in the ceremonial procession. "Freya..." Ha. Just a breeder. I spoke clearly. "Miss Ivy is clearly devoted to the Prince. Elder, let her be Prince Kael's breeder." The watching wolves erupted. "The Mrs. Freya is so generous, not even angry about this disruption." "Just a breeder acting so bold." "She's shameless, blocking a mating ceremony in public." Under everyone's commentary, my grand ceremonial procession entered the Royal Palace with a smaller procession following behind. At my signal, my people spread word throughout the realm about how Ivy blocked the my mating ceremony and demanded to marry Prince Kael. On our first night, Kael entered the chamber and removed my veil. We drank the ceremonial wine. He looked at me. "Ivy was reckless today and disrespected you, but don't worry. She's always been gentle and won't compete with you." Before he finished speaking, crying echoed from outside. "Prince, Ivy is kneeling outside. She says she wants to apologize to the Mrs. Freya for blocking the ceremony today. She wants to come in and offer her submission." Kael didn't even set down his cup—it crashed to the floor. He rushed outside. "Ivy, it's freezing. What are you doing? Your are still fragile. Someone help her back to her quarters." I stood and walked to the doorway. Ivy gently pushed Kael away, looking at me with tear-filled eyes. "Mrs. Freya, today was my fault. I disrupted the mating ceremony. Please punish me." The maid beside her wiped her tears. "Please show mercy, Mrs. Freya. Ivy is weak. She's been kneeling here since you entered the room. Her body can't take this." Kael looked pained and turned to me with displeasure. "Freya, Ivy is begging you. Since you allowed her to be my breeder, you should be more generous. It's snowing. Making her kneel like this—are you trying to kill her?" "How can my mate be so cruel?" I scoffed. "I heard Prince Kael loves Omega Ivy. Clearly it's true. Today she blocked my ceremony, and I haven't punished her yet. Now she's already causing chaos on our mating night, crying and wailing." "Is this what you call gentle and well-behaved?" Ivy's face went pale. The next second, she clutched her chest and collapsed into Kael's arms. "Prince, I didn't mean to. I just..." Before finishing, she fainted against his chest. The courtyard erupted into chaos. "Quick, call the healer!" Kael carried her straight to her quarters. In moments, everyone who'd gathered disappeared. My maid gritted her teeth. "Mrs. Freya, that omega did this on purpose." I smiled. Of course she did. Tonight Kael was supposed to mark me. How could she accept that? Without some tricks, how could she lure him away? The oldest trick in the book, but with a lovesick fool like Kael, it worked perfectly. The ceremonial candles burned out. Kael never returned. But I heard water was called to Ivy's quarters three times that night. I smiled and picked up the knife from the table, cutting my wrist. Blood sprayed onto the white mating cloth. The servants shrieked. The elder wrapped my wrist with tears in her eyes. "Mrs. Freya, why do this to yourself?" I looked at the cloth with disgust. "When the Queen Luna's personal servant comes to collect the mating cloth, give her this." With this much blood, they would understand exactly what happened.
