Chosen By Fate, Rejected By The Alpha
Transcript
00:00Hello, young one.
00:01I'm one of the five elders of the pack.
00:04My name is Frederick, the old man said.
00:06Welcome to our gathering, Luna.
00:08What shall we call you?
00:12Trinity?
00:13A lovely name for a lovely girl.
00:15The old man was clearly trying to flatter her.
00:17Trinity glanced at Carter and the others in her family.
00:20She wanted to find strength here, but
00:22everyone except her grandfather looked frightened.
00:25They made her feel worse.
00:27Now, Trinity, let's discuss what this means for you and the pack.
00:32Frederick sat down.
00:33He pointed to a throne-like chair at the head of the room.
00:37That must be the alpha's chair.
00:39She felt a lump in her throat as she sat in it.
00:42Trinity surveyed the rest of the room like a queen.
00:45She felt exposed, especially because the alpha was standing against the wall and
00:49glowering at her.
00:51She noticed things about him she'd never had before.
00:54How his hair was so black that the light brought out sapphire blue highlights in it.
00:59How his honey-dark eyes seemed to scan everything in the room with ownership.
01:03How his high cheekbones and full lips and broad,
01:06handsome body all screamed to be touched.
01:11Trinity felt lust blooming through her body.
01:14His scent was intoxicating, but
01:16that was nothing compared to the hot urine she felt for him.
01:19She blushed.
01:20Clearly, the feeling isn't mutual.
01:22He looks like he wants to yell at me.
01:25Trinity looked away from the alpha and back at Grandfather,
01:29who was obviously gloating.
01:30He appeared proud of her for the first time in her life.
01:34As I was saying, Elder Frederick continued, this is a joyous occasion.
01:39Our alpha has finally found his mate.
01:41It's been long years of searching, and at last the trial is over.
01:45The Harvest Moon Gathering was a triumph.
01:48That gathering was the worst night of my life, Trinity thought grimly.
01:52I should have faked being sick and stayed home.
01:55But that wasn't something a luna would say, so Trinity just nodded.
01:59Now that he's mated,
02:00the alpha and you will need to conduct the claiming ceremony, Frederick said.
02:05What's a claiming ceremony?
02:08Trinity felt sick.
02:10Forgive my granddaughter, Elders.
02:12She's been raised outside of so much of pack life.
02:15Grandfather gave Trinity a warning look.
02:18Great, she made another mistake.
02:21You'll be marked by the alpha in front of the entire pack, Frederick explained.
02:25In front of everyone?
02:27Trinity's eyes widened.
02:29Yes, as Luna, you will be the leader of your pack.
02:33They must see you claimed, marked.
02:36Marked?
02:37How, like a tattoo?
02:39The elders laughed with disbelief.
02:41Grandfather looked annoyed.
02:43Marked with a bite, of course.
02:46The alpha will bite you, branding you as his.
02:49Marking you so that you will only belong to him and to no other.
02:53Trinity wanted to throw up.
02:55Did these people think she was capable of something like that?
02:58Just standing still while someone bit her in front of a crowd?
03:02You mean the alpha will turn into a wolf and bite me?
03:06She felt dizzy.
03:08It'll only be the fangs.
03:10The alpha muttered, looking at her disdainfully beneath a lowered brow.
03:15My teeth will shift for the marking, nothing else.
03:18Don't worry, Trin, Noah said.
03:20He stood near her chair.
03:22The whole thing will be quick, and we'll be there for you.
03:26Okay, but she didn't really feel okay.
03:29Inside, she wanted to scream.
03:32Now you will, of course, need to move here with your alpha, Frederick said.
03:37Is that totally necessary?
03:39She questioned.
03:40The alpha growled.
03:42Where else should my mate live but in my house?
03:45He snapped.
03:47Great, now Trinity had made him even angrier.
03:50Apparently, she had a talent for it.
03:52No, I understand, but can I even go home to pack?
03:57Frederick turned to Aunt Eve.
03:59Have you packed the Luna's belongings and brought them here?
04:01Aunt Eve was crying as she looked at Trinity and timidly replied, yes.
04:06Trinity wished she could go and hug her aunt, leave this place and run home.
04:11Can I still go to college?
04:12Trinity asked.
04:14I'm studying law, I want to be a lawyer.
04:17There should be no problem with that, Frederick smiled.
04:19An educated Luna would be an asset to our pack.
04:22Now aside from the marking ceremony as Luna,
04:24you'll be required to accompany the alpha on all pack related business.
04:28You'll be his greatest help.
04:31The alpha just kept glaring at the entire room.
04:34Trinity didn't feel like he wanted any help from anyone.
04:37When will we hold the marking ceremony?
04:39Grandfather asked greedily.
04:41We should do it soon.
04:42We want all this cleared up as soon as possible.
04:44We also don't want to get the other females hopes up.
04:47I'd trade places with any of them right now, Trinity thought.
04:51Why does the goddess hate me so much?
04:53Noah, would you show the Luna to her room?
04:56Come on, Trin.
04:57Noah helped her up and the rest of the family exited along with her.
05:01The alpha didn't watch her go.
05:03He just kept staring at the floor with his arms crossed over his chest,
05:06the muscles straining against the thin cotton of his shirt.
05:10Aunt Eve hugged Trinity.
05:12So did Uncle Wesley and Carter.
05:15Grandfather hadn't come along, of course.
05:18He was staying back with the elders,
05:19lapping up all the attention as grandfather to the pack's new Luna.
05:23Noah took out a ring of keys as they climbed the steps to the fourth floor of
05:27the house and walked down a long hallway.
05:30He fitted the key into an enormous door and turned the lock.
05:33So they can lock me in, Trinity muttered.
05:36Aunt Eve hugged her tighter.
05:38Then Trinity entered the bedroom.
05:40All the scared thoughts fled her mind.
05:42She gasped, whoa, whoa, the room was massive.
05:48It was easily four times bigger than her room at home.
05:51A huge four poster bed with a canopy and
05:54ornately carved wooden headboard stood at the very back of the chamber.
05:58It was covered with a sky blue comforter and
06:00the pillows and canopy drapes were of navy silk.
06:03All the furniture matched the bed.
06:05Everything was made from the same dark, beautifully hand carved wood.
06:09There was a nice stand on either side of the bed, each with its own lamp.
06:14There was a chest of drawers, a dress with a mirror, an armory,
06:18a vanity table and chair with a navy blue cushion, and
06:21a beautiful wooden trunk at the foot of the bed.
06:24Too bad they couldn't find you anything nicer, Carter said weakly.
06:27He meant it as a joke.
06:29Trinity gave his arm a soft punch.
06:32On the other side of the enormous chamber was a sitting area complete with a navy
06:36blue couch and sky blue pillows.
06:38There was an enormous flat screen TV mounted on the wall
06:41with rows of shelves built on either side of the screen.
06:45I could put my books and DVDs there, Trinity said,
06:48already trying to think of ways to make this grand chilly room feel more like
06:51a home.
06:53You'll have it warmed up in no time, Aunt Eve said softly.
06:56On the other side of the sitting room was a wooden desk with what looked like
07:00a state of the art laptop.
07:02There was also a dining room table and four chairs.
07:05Everything was beautiful, perfect, and way too much.
07:09This isn't me at all, Trinity mumbled.
07:12I'm not the type for so much fancy stuff.
07:15You'll have to be, Noah replied.
07:17He sounded a bit gruff.
07:19Now that you're Luna, you'll have to be accustomed to many new things.
07:23Let me show you around.
07:24Are you serious?
07:25Carter snapped at his brother.
07:27You're going to act like nothing happened, like this is all normal.
07:32Trinity felt gratitude.
07:34Carter was able to say what she couldn't.
07:36She was still too shocked to think properly.
07:40Everyone needs to stop fighting, Aunt Eve glared at her sons.
07:44That's not helping the situation.
07:47While her family bickered, Trinity walked over to another door and
07:50flipped the light on in the bathroom.
07:52Her mouth fell open.
07:55I expected my own bathroom, but not this.
08:00There was a bathtub built into the floor that looked like the size of
08:02a small pool.
08:04Trinity noticed there were jacuzzi jets.
08:06There was also a glass-encased shower with a bench.
08:09Trinity would bet anything the bench was kept warm with flowing hot water so
08:13it would be comfortable to sit on.
08:15There were also 12 or so different nozzles.
08:18She could be enveloped by hot water and steam.
08:23Can't imagine what the water bills are like here, she muttered.
08:27The floors and sinks were all tiled in creamy marble and
08:30fluffy white towels hung on silver racks.
08:33It's nice, isn't it?
08:35Noah entered the bathroom.
08:37There's a full staff on the premises too.
08:39We have people to cook, clean, and do laundry.
08:42They work in shifts, so at any hour of the day or
08:44night someone can take care of any issue you may have.
08:48Guess all my annoying household chores are a thing of the past.
08:52Trinity couldn't make herself smile.
08:54This was every girl's dream.
08:56So why did it feel like a nightmare?
08:58Give it time, Trin.
08:59Before you know it, you'll be happy.
09:02Noah sounded like he was reassuring himself as well as her.
09:06But that's the thing, Noah.
09:08Can I really be happy if I'm living in a place where someone can lock me into my
09:12room whenever they want?
09:15I don't think there's a tub big enough to make up for that kind of thing.
09:18Noah sighed and hung his head.
09:21He knew she was right.
09:22Trinity surveyed all the beautiful accessories in her new home and
09:26realized that she was now a prisoner.
09:29Don't let your excitement die.
