My least favourite mate turned out to be the only one who loved me

"Isadora, are you sure?" My mom asked, she sounded shocked. "You have never liked Tyral and three years ago, you not just threw him out of our pack but humiliated him in front of everyone."

"Have you really thought through this?"

"Yes, Mom." I replied, my voice hoarse. "I've made up my mind. Please send him invitation for my mating ceremony along with a heartfelt letter of apologizies from my behalf."

"No wait... You go personally and bring him back to our pack with honor. A letter of apologizies can never compare to the humiliation I had given him."

"Okay! If that's what you want. I'm leaving for his residence right now." My mom replied before cutting off our telepathy.

I took a sigh of relief. Maybe, out of all the bad things that had happened to me the whole day, there was still one hope– Tylar Beckham!

I turned around to go back to my home. But, my luck brought me to the person I wanted to see the least at the moment.

Emily stood before me, a smile full of malice spreading across her lips.

"Princess Isadora!" She called, her voice filled with mockery and humility. "It was you who knocked on the door, wasn't it?"

"I had seen you leaving in tears and sobs. Haha! What a rare sight to watch." She had added. It seems like she no longer bothered to wear the mask of pitiness and innocence.

"Now that you have listened everything and know quite well that Nolan only loves me, don't make things difficult for him by choosing him in your mating ceremony."

"Even if you choose him, you will be only humiliating yourself. Nolan will reject you in front of everyone for me." She said, her voice laced with pride and arrogance.

My Alpha nails dig inside my thighs, my teeth coming out in anger and disgust. But, I suppressed them back.

I didn't want to stoop myself as low as fighting an omega for a man. Noway! I'm above that.

"Don't worry! You have taken my used things throughout your life. Just one more thing. Take it! Nolan is all yours. I'm bored from him already." I said, my voice devoid of any emotions.

But, my words hit her hard. She gritt her teeth in anger. "You!"

Soon enough, her expressions changed. From anger and desperation, it changed into maliciousness and cunning smile as she walked closer to me, holding a bouquet of Lavenders.

"Oh really? Thank you so much, Princess Isadora. Your heart is so beautiful... Just like these flowers that Noah proposed me with."

Throwing the whole bouquet at me, she said. "Please accept my gratitude, Princess Isadora. These flowers may bring happiness to your life."

I frowned. I had allergy with Lavender and Emily knew it. I raised my hands mid-air to throw the flowers back. But, my hands clanked with Emily's empty hands and the flowers landed at me.

During the process, Emily lost her balance and fell off the grassland.

"Isadora! What's wrong with you?"

Suddenly a cold and dominating voice sounded from behind. While scratching my body with my sharp nails, I looked at Emily, who had been surrounded by three strong men around her, giving me a sly smile.

"Beta Noah! It's my fault... Please don't fight with Princess Isadora for me." She immediately said, her voice hoarse as if she was severely bullied.

"How is that your fault? I clearly saw her pushing you away." Noah said, turning cold eyes at me.

"Apologize to Emily!" He commanded, completely ignoring the itching I had been facing because of the lavenders her beloved just threw at me.

"That was not my fault!" I said, "I didn't push her intentionally."

"Yeah. Don't force her, Beta Noah. It's my fault. I made her upset." Emily sneaked in. With a pair of red eyes, she added,

"You are so sweet and innocent, Emily. That's why people hurt you easily." Noah said softly, cupping her cheeks in his hands.

A gesture filled with love and adoration, a kind of gesture I had always seemed from him for me. But, he had always given me a stern and cold look.

I thought maybe he was a busy and responsible man. His duties were so strict that he had accustomed himself to look cold.

I had once promised myself that after I marry him, I will make him soft and gentle.

Stupid me, didn't know that he already was soft and gentle. It's just it was not for me.

"Emily! You just fell on the ground. Are your legs okay?" Denver, one of my twin mates asked, his voice laced with concern.

"I think we should get her check by the healers." Dylan, the other twin, suggested.

Having been said that, Noah picked Emily in his arms. Turning his back at me, he left, followed by Denver and Dylan.

My twin mates, who didn't stop pestering me the very same day, didn't bother glancing at me or look at my whole skin which had swollen red out of the allergy, and left to care about their beloved Emily.

I laughed in agony as the blood turned cold throughout my veins. The world appeared spinning around my head and the blood vessels in my body almost coming out because of the nonstop scratching.

Suddenly, a surge of an unbearable pain appeared in my head. I couldn't balance myself. Slowly, my eyesight blurred and everything went blank before my eyes.

I fainted.

Midnight alone in the forest!
