[Unwanted love series 1] Arranged Marriage To The Lycan Monster

Chapter 1

SERAPHINA

“You've what?” I screamed, shattering the glass filled to the brim with apple juice in my hand.

My father winced but did not back down. “I made a marriage proposal for you to get married to the Lyman King.”

“You can’t make me,” I said stubbornly, crossing my hands.

My father pressed the bridge of his nose in exasperation. “Sera, please, I don’t have time for you to act like a child,”

I stood there, staring at him in defiance, challenging him. “I am not marrying one of them.” I pressed tightly.

His eyes dropped; shoulders heavy from the weight of whatever he was carrying. ‘Our debts are drowning us, Sera. The pack is divided. You are the only one who can save us now.”

I looked up, arching my eyebrow at him in surprise. We were in debt? Of course, I know. I hissed through my teeth not buying into his pathetic excuse. “No!” I huffed at him. “You can't marry me off to a Lycan. We are werewolves! We're not even the same species!

The capital had been wasted, profits exhausted, and the company was now dwindling in massive debts. Ever since then he has been trying to generate income to settle it, but it seems we were just moving from fry pan to fire as the debts kept on increasing and spiraling out of control.

He looked at me with pleading eyes. “Believe me when I say I hate these ideas, but this is our only chance. You're our savior. The pack won't last longer if we don’t ally with the lycans.”

I shook my head firmly. “Get someone else to do it then, it is unclear to me why it has to be me.”

“Need I remind you are the daughter of the Alpha of Violet pack, and the lycan kind grandfather himself demanded someone of notable status for the marriage.”

“You say I am doing this for the pack, why don’t you pick Clarissa or Juliet. They are my cousins and also of notable status. I don’t see them forced into a marriage with lycans.” I spat out, narrowing my gaze at him.

The word lycans burned hot on my tongue and filled me with
