Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

Everywhere turned dead silent the moment Ella stepped out and into the face of the crowd. Most of the people gushed out in excitement, even if they couldn’t catch a glimpse of whosoever it was that hid inside the veil. They concluded that she must be so beautiful, because her beauty radiated with her presence.

“You don’t have to be nervous. I felt like this the day I got married to the queen too. It would get better in no time, and before you know it, you would loosen up and be free”, the queen said to the supposed Alyssa who nodded her head in understanding.

Ella was bored and tired of how everyone around was acting so nice and peaceful. It ached her heart to think of how Alyssa would have been the one receiving such treatment. She was glad that her intelligence pushed Alyssa out of the picture, because now, she was on the way to becoming wife to the King…

“You can go now. It’s time”, Tiffany whispered into Ella ears while she flinched a bit. She was not comfortable with how Tiffany stood beside her, because a part of her heart was scared that she would be the one to discover her games.

Soft music started playing in the background and it only indicated that it was time to for the bride to walk down the aisle.

Ella looked at the far end of the aisle to see Liam who was waiting patiently for his bride.

This was like a dream come through for him. He couldn’t wait for everything to get done with so that he would proceed to live a happy life with his wife.

His stomach grumbled silently and that was when he recalled that he hadn’t eaten anything since the morning. He had been so excited that he failed to eat anything that was brought to him.

Ella struggled to keep up with her steps as she walked. Her legs were wobbly and she was scared that it would give her away. It was even worse because she was trying so hard to walk in the way and manner that Alyssa would.

Her head was lowered to the ground, looking up at intervals and breathing hard to relax her scared soul.

She was finally some feets away from where Liam stood. Deep down in her heart, she was glad that she was almost at the end of the tunnel. Sooner or later, they would be proclaimed husband and wife.

However, Liam observed something right before she reached where he stood. Her walking steps were different from how it used to be.

He shoved it aside immediately, with thoughts of it being as a result of wedding anxiety.

A wide smile spread across his face the moment she finally reached where he stood.

Something was odd again- her scent.

Her major scent was of strawberry and orange. But this time, the scent he perceived was different and weird.

He took in a deep sniff, withholding himself from going closer and sniffing her. That was exactly what he felt like doing. He craved to move closer and sniff her, to be sure that it was really his Alyssa.

Liam finally shook his head and decided to allow it slide. Perhaps, she had changed her scent to something else because it was her wedding. He didn’t see how it sounded logical though, but he resolved to shoving it aside to focus on the wedding.

“We are gathered here, to join the both of them as man and wife. If there’s anyone around who would want to stand against this union, let they speak up now, or forever remain silent!” The elder in charge of the ceremony said and for a moment, everyone remained silent.

Liam heaved a massive sigh of relief, not because he was expecting anyone to stand against his wedding, but because he was glad that they were making progress.

“You may now read your vows”, the elder said and gestured for them to kick start.

Ella heart skipped a beat. Her head was still lowered to the ground while her heart was racing every single second.

“Dear Alyssa…”, Liam started, but stopped when he observed that she wasn’t looking towards his direction.

“Wasn’t she supposed to be looking at him while they exchanged their vows?” He thought silently and again, shoved it aside as a disturbing and irreverent thought.

“You came into my light and became my light. You unlocked a type of happiness I never witnessed in my life and you brought complete peace to my soul”, Liam said.

He was hoping that she would be peering into his eyes now, but she remained as she was; staring at the ground.

“You are there every single moment and I want you to be there forever. This peace you brought to me, I want to witness it every single day of my life. Your smile, your tears, your joy, your sorrow, I want to be with you through all of it”, Liam said as the crowd turned emotional.

“You remember the first day we met? That singular event that happened between us?” Hunger asked while Ella gulped.

She couldn’t ascertain if he was asking a question which he expected an answer.

Liam stared at her intently, waiting for her to nod or smile or do something to show that she was following the words of his mouth. But, she wasn’t doing any of those.

“The way you rushed to me to stop me from jumping into the lake…”, Liam said and chuckled calmly.

“You thought I was about to commit suicide and that was the sweetest thing I had ever seen. You cared for me…even if I was a stranger”, Liam said while Ella sighed inwardly.

It ached her heart to hear Liam directing such sweet words to Alyssa and she couldn’t wait to see and end to the long sermon he called a vow.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Liam was becoming restless at this point. He still had a long way to go with his vow, but he had no idea if he was ready to proceed because of the reaction he was getting from Alyssa.

Something was wrong and he knew it. This was supposed to be the sweetest moment of the wedding; where they get to stare into their different eyeballs.

The crowd was sniffing now. Liam’s vow had to be the sweetest thing they’ve heard in a while. Tiffany was amused at how cold Alyssa was. Inasmuch as she was nervous, she never expected her to behave so calm and cold in a situation that required a bit of vibrancy.

“But…who are you?” Liam suddenly asked.

Ella skipped a beat, but she thought that it was only another line from the long sermon like vow.

“I ask again, who are you?” Liam asked in more deafening voice, starling Ella and causing her to lift her head in shock.

He was staring at her fiercely.

“You are not Alyssa, are you?” Liam asked and moved forward.

He yanked the veil away from her face and gasped when he saw someone who didn’t look a little bit like his bride.

He knew it! Something was off and he could tell. Alyssa he knew was never so off the way Ella was.

“Wait! We can continue with the wedding. You would be making a mistake by marrying Alyssa”, Ella said.

Liam was shocked and that was when he had a feeling in his stomach- Alyssa was in danger.
