Chapter 5

"Now I pronounce you man and wife," the priestess said to them.

Giselle couldn't believe that she had married the hybrid king. She wondered why he hadn't known that she was a handler. She kept looking at her maid, who was as scared as she was. All through the wedding, she wondered if they were sacrificing her to the alpha king, rather than wedding her. Words that came from the priestess suggested so, and every second, she felt frightened.

Royce didn't like the look on Giselle's face. He knew that she was sad, considering that no one ever wanted to be married to a dangerous king like him.

"You are not the only one who detests this marriage. I'll free you when I have an heir," he said between gritted teeth.

Giselle looked at the man for the first time since she had arrived at the hall, and her heart beat faster. He was so handsome that even a Greek god would plead to be his page. His blue eyes looked so dark that she swallowed her silver. She tried not to, but her eyes fell on his thin, pale lips, and it was as if they were begging to be kissed. She shook her head not wanting this man to affect her.

She was lost in thought until she heard the priestess and the king arguing.

"I don't want a queen," he snapped.

"You do , Your Highness, else your heir wouldn't be a prince," she said respectfully.

Royce folded his palm into a fist and glared at Giselle. She felt like disappearing from there, but her powers weren't working. Royce took the crown from the priestess reluctantly.

He looked at his second in command who was beside him and he nodded at him before closing his eyes.

Giselle wondered what he was doing, then soon she felt goosebumps all over her, and she shivered.

"What's going on?" She didn't know when she shouted.

" Easy princess, it's the process, " the priestess said in a soft voice.

Giselle didn't want this. She didn't want to be crowned queen of werewolves, and now they seemed to be worse than even the handlers. No one asked what her name was, they were calling her Princess Roneesha. She wondered who bore that name, and they wouldn't let her say anything. She wished that the one who bore Roneesha would appear and give her her position.

"I crown you, Roneesha, Queen of the three realms and my Queen, " Royce said and his eyes that were blue beamed red. It was just like that of thick blood, and Giselle quivered.

Just as he carefully placed the crown on her head, Royce grabbed her and kissed her. He wasn't planning to do that but he couldn't control himself anymore. Giselle also wanted to resist but couldn't. She opened her mouth and accepted him in. The two never cared that they were in front of crowds.

Logan widened his eyes as he saw his King kiss a female like his life depends on it. He was so scared of what would happen in the next minute.

It was as if the kiss wouldn't end until Royce's hand grabbed Giselle's neck all of a sudden. His eyes widened at her and tension filled the air. Giselle already knew that he found out who she was. She started struggling to free herself because she wasn't ready to die.

"How dare you!" Royce roared.

Everyone in the hall stiffened. They wondered what was happening. This minute the two were kissing like lovers and the next, he was choking her to death. Logan and Caden quickly ran to them.

"Your Highness," Logan called.

"How dare you, handler! " He roared looking into Giselle's eyes.

Giselle was almost out of breath as his hands tightened around her neck. She knew this time was going to come but she still wanted to defend herself.

Everyone hearing that the King called his newly wedded handlee, gasped in horror. They knew how much he hated handlers.

"Your Highness, she is not a handler but a vampire," Caden defended.

He was the one who went to get Giselle. He was sure that he didn't sense a handler's power. Caden is a commander of the armies and if he is not fighting war, he is beside the king as a guard.

"No, she's a handler!" Royce shouted looking at Caden.

Just then, everyone there could smell her handler's powers, and they confirmed what their king had said.

"Imposter!" They kept on shouting

Royce's anger was fueled and he brought out his claws. Giselle widened her eyes at the way his claws looked. No wonder everyone was scared of him. It was a silver claws that looked like a sharp sword. She was so scared that she trembled but then she felt she did no wrong.

"I'm not an imposter. Your men were the one who mistook me for your bride and yet no one would let me speak when I wanted to. Don't you dare blame me for your incompetence," she shouted.

She wondered why she was so bold even when she was near death.

"Silence!" Royce roared.

"Do not silence me. You can kill me for all I care but I will not take blame for your incompetence!" Giselle was boiling and she wanted to fight.

"How dare you!" Royce tightened his hand around her neck and she was choking for real this time.

Blood was already sliding down her throat and she was almost out of breath.

"You can't kill her!" The priestess shouted.

" I will and I don't mind dying with her! " He growled.

" No, your highness, you can't kill your bride. It will make you miserable and you will destroy everything that comes your way. Please reconsider, " she pleaded in tears.

Everyone was scared at what the priestess said. Logan and Caden quickly moved closer to him and started to plead. They knew they would be the first to receive his rage. Then all the people present at the wedding started to plead.

Royce then had no choice than to spare Giselle.

"Ahhhgggrhhhh!" He roared so loud when he released. The whole room vibrated and everyone trembled. Every glass shattered at his roar and everyone quickly moved to corners to protect themselves.

Giselle looked at the man emitting anger in front of her. She wondered how powerful he could be. Although she knew she escaped death now, she dreads the punishment that will follow. She wished she was killed.

"Take her to the devil's hole," he ordered.

The guards came and dragged her. Lily ran after her and so she was grabbed too. As they were going, a female and a few men walked in.

"Sorry, your Highness, we were late," one of the males said in a hurry.

Everyone paused to know who they were. Royce was glaring at them because he already knew they were vampires.

"Who are you?" Caden asked.

"We are from the vampire clan, and we brought Princess Roneesha to the King," he replied, trembling.
