Amelia's point of view
"Amelia, you're running late; everyone has been waiting patiently for you; today is your day, and if you dare embarrass me before the whole clan, I will hate you to my grave." My father's deep voice said at the receiving end.
He tend to remind me of my organized Marriage, which I'm not in full support with, I've found who love me even with my disabilities.
"Almost there, Dad" I replied in a low voice, with voice laced with deception.
"You just choose a better response, you better be, and be careful tonight. The moon's potent, and everyone is waiting for you at the castle." My gaze drifted to the rearview mirror, where my eyes seemed to gleam in the dark.
As he hung up, a shiver coursed through my vein as I raced my car with only my right hand through the street of CRESCENT CITY heading to my fiance's house.

Meanwhile, after a few minutes, I arrived at abode. I took out my phone and began to dial his number, but the line kept on ringing but he wasn't picking up.
Then I decided to go up straight to his room, my mind reeled on how we wanna run away from Crescent city, away from my father's organized Marriage, away from all the rejection I've faced in the hands of many mate, David loves me the way I am and thats all that matters to me now.
As I got nearer to his room and was about to knock, my hand stiff on the strange voice I heard at the background.
"Huh! Fuck me hard, go on, please don't stop " the familiar voice said, and that sends a chill down to my whole body.
Without hesitation I busted into the room, and I opened my eyes to see my best friend, Camara and my Fiance David, locked together on the bed, Camara was half naked with her body entwined with David's body.
"Wh....what's happening here, Camara." I screamed so loud and almost busted my throat.
"Don't you think you need to knock the door before you enter someone's room, Amelia, you are such a mannerless Princess." Camara said with her voice laced with excitement.
I was so speechless at first, I stood there looking at them with my both hands on top of my head.
"Amelia, you could have just called me before you come here." David muttered with his voice barely above whisper as he gently moved Camara from his body.
"I called you severally, but I guess with what I'm seeing here, you must have lost your ears to hear your phone ringing, and eyes to see if it didn't ring out." I declared with my heart etched with sadness, this is more of an initial trauma from the only one person I've trusted.
Camara didn't feel any remorse for what she did, instead she continues romancing David's back.
"Leave him you bitch!" I growled so loud at her with my voice etched with anger, as I approached her on the giant and pull her body away from David.
"Slap!" I landed a hot slap on her face.
"how dare you slap me Amelia, afterall it's not my fault, you are an handicap and your hand cannot do the things I do for him." Camara said and smiled while gradually slipping away from my hand.
I picked up an alcohol bottle on the table beside me with the aim of smashing it on her head, but I dropped it and head outside the room, David ran after me but I pushed him away and he hit his back on the wooden door of his room, so I left to my car.
As I was driving my mind reeled on the Marriage my father has organized, and which is about to kick start about 45 minutes to go.
"I've lost one but I shouldn't lost all " I whispered to myself as I steered through the street of Crescendo with anguish burning inside my heart.

On my arrival at the castle thee entrance was filled with many guests, all of whom were invited by my father.
"My princess, welcome back; your father is waiting for you with other princes from the Five Clans." Ashina, my childhood friend, and also my female guard muttered in silence as I arrived.
However, as I stood before the grand, majestic castle, its towering spires piercing the sky like shards of glass, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions swirling within me.
The 45 minutes I spent waiting at the veterinary house to get myself a companion had seemed like an eternity, each ticking second weighing heavily on my anxious heart. Now, as I stepped into the grand hall, my heart trembled with anticipation, my palms growing damp with nervousness.
At the right corner of the hall, Prince Henry from Silvermoon sat with his father; beside him was Prince Richard of Camelot, his piercing blue eyes scanning me from head to toe; sitting beside him was Prince Karl from MOONSHINE CLAN; and the last prince invited was none other than the arrogant and useless Prince Thane from Craftanwood, his gaze lingering on my paralyzed covered hand.
"I am so happy to see all these eyes I'm seeing here right now; this shows that love exists among us all. I'm so grateful that we all took the time to grace my daughter's day, who's choosing her mate today." Alpha King Jonathan muttered to everyone, and they all prepared for the main reason they came.
The air was filled with cheers and murmureds for the King; all the participants fixed their gaze on my hand, but none of them knew what was hidden under the black glove I wore; everyone thought it's part of the wedding attire.
My father had kept my hand a secret ever since I was given birth to; he had made it known to me that my mother, Hannah Montana, gave birth to me with one of my hands paralyzed.
"Now that Princess Amelia has sat down, it's time for her to choose whomever she wishes, among all the princes that sat down." My father's Beta Richard growled loudly.
I stood up according to the tradition of the CRESCENT clan: a princess must choose her mate, and her mate may choose to accept or not, but for me I did the opposite of that.
As I walked away from the first prince to the second one, the crowd murmured in silence, and I could see Ember's worried gaze fixed at me.
When I got to Prince Henry, I couldn't shake off the feeling of his handsome rejection. But then, I remembered the other prince would feel bad.
After going round all of them, I stopped on the last prince to give an important announcement before I became a mate to any of them.
"Hello everyone, I know I am to choose my Mate among all the princes, but before I do that, I'll like to inform everyone today that I have a disability." I said, with my voice above whisper, but I was cut short with the sudden murmur of all the people present.
After a few seconds, I continued with my speech, ignoring whatever they were saying.
"I am very sure many of you thought that my hand gloves were part of my attire. No! It's not; my left hand is paralyzed from birth; that's why I covered it, so anyone among the princes who can marry me with my disabilities is my true mate; right now I will like to ask who among all of you can really love me with my disabilities." I questioned, and every corner of the castle went silent.
I left my father's face with shock as I revealed what he had kept a secret for a long time, ever since my mother died.
None of the princes was ready to have a mate with a disability, so they stood up from their seats and approached the door of the throne hall one after the other.
"Come here." Alpha Jonathan, my father, dragged me from the middle of the hall to his corner.
"Father, what?" I questioned, with my voice barely above whisper.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Are you trying to ruin the reputation I've built even before you were given birth to? I kept your disability a secret so that you could get a good suitor's husband, but you destroyed all my plans with your childish speech." My father whispered, with a sense of anger coursing through every word he spoke.
"I'm so sorry if I offend you, but father, it's not a good thing to lie to someone I would be spending the rest of my life with; I need to make sure my mate really loves me before I'm marked." I said in a low tone.
Meanwhile, after a few minutes, the throne was about to empty from all the princes as they left with anger plastered on each of their faces.
I went straight to my chamber with my heart broken. I slammed the door and collapsed to my giant bed, thinking about how they all gazed at me when I told them the truth. Anyway, I was certain that none of them would wish to marry a person with a disability.
While I was reminiscing about what had happened at my supposed wedding night, all of a sudden my mind reeled on running away from the castle in search for my own true mate, but I couldn't.
After an hour spent alone in my room, Ember suddenly raced to my room, panicking and finding it difficult to catch her breath.
"Father is dead, Amelia, and Alpha George said he saw you enter his room to kill him; as I'm speaking, they are already coming to your room; you need to leave right now." Ember muttered in tears, but my mind was far away from the danger I'm in, but it was fixed on the fact that my father has been killed and I'm being blamed for it because of my disability.
