Cold Hearted Princess

Chapter 131

I was raised by a frustrated woman along with five other girls..

We were raised in a Pack called the Red–Eyes. It was far away from civilization and far away from the rest of the world. Surrounded by towering mountains and dense forest, it was almost untouched. Red–Eyes Pack only had relations with a few other packs surrounding us. Right in the middle of the pack, we were raised to be a lot of things.

Except for being a mate.

Instead, each year, one girl is given out in marriage to a man and this year, it was my turn. We were told the idea of finding your mate was outdated and unrealistic. It is better to find happiness in whoever you’re betrothed to.

“I know you’re probably very excited”

My sister, Ella, whispered into my car as we walked along the road with the basket of fruit I would drop off at my betrothed’s place.

“Yes, I am.” I laugh through the uneasy feeling in my heart.

Something was missing! Something wasn’t right! A part of me felt indifferent about the wedding and everything in general. Ever since I was a child, I’d looked forward to getting matched with someone from the pack. I’d always looked into the crowd and wondered who I would be spending the rest of my life with. Il end up giggling with excitement because I couldn’t wait to experience life with this person

One time, a girl had been betrothed to an older man and I prayed that it wouldn’t be the same case for me.

When I was finally betrothed to Luke, the Park’s chief only son, I wasn’t as excited as I’d thought I would be. It wasn’t as though I didn’t have feelings for Luke. I’d been in love with him since I was a child and he was very important to me,

It was as though a part of me was missing and I couldn’t find it anywhere. Ella believed it was because Luke and I used to be at each other’s throats when we were kids and that we’d learn to love each other as we grow in our union.

“Anabelle tried talking down on you yesterday. She said you didn’t deserve Luke,”

I groaned. I’d have enough of Anabelle already in the pack. “Is that why you got into a fight with her?”

I asked.

“She kept saying trash,”

I cocked my eyebrow at her. “Do you believe her words? Do you believe I don’t deserve Luke?”

She shook her head. “No, he’s the one who’s lucky to have you as his betrothed,”

“Good! Ignore them,”

“Fine!,”

Just as w

I shook my head. “I like him. I respect him. I adore him, I cherish him, my heart knows he’s mine and I believe one day, it’ll grow to love,”
