“Mated? To who? To me?” Seraphina knew her mouth was hanging open in shock. Darting a glance across the room, she saw Colton staring at her blandly, his hands seated on his laps.
If her expression offended him, he didn’t show it. The shock was too much for her to bear. She looked at her father, blinking to hold back the tears that threatened to fall.
“But... What about…….What about Kroner?” She asked her tears spilling around.
“I’m aware you’ve had your eye on him, but this is for the good of the pack. We need strong alliances so that we can guard against the Silver Moon pack’s threat. And allied packs allows access between territories and increase the area in which we have to roam.”
He stopped speaking and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “I know this is a surprise, but don’t worry. Colton is a very good man. He’ll make you a fine mate.” Her father assured her. It sounded like a death note in a subtle manner.
Seraphina had no idea when she came home that day that she'd end up mated to a complete stranger. A new Alpha and the need for an alliance between packs have made her a pawn…..Her father's pawn.
