Sold To An Alpha

Many hours were enacted and the sun finally set. The twins were beautifully dressed up and looked after by the maids.

Mirabel stood in front of the mirror staring at herself with a pessimistic expression on her face. Her black raven hair was neatly adorned with golden jewelry, and her face was painted a bit. Her emerald green eyes stared through the mirror with pain apparent in them. 

If she has no luck, today might be the last day she will glimpse this earth and the people she loves.

A low sigh left her lips, and she sadly smiled at herself. She fluttered her lashes when teardrops threatened to fall from her eyes, and she used a small piece of white clothing to dab them off.

"My lady, the guests are all present in the hall, and the Supreme Alpha requests your presence." A blonde-haired maid reported with her head lowered.

Mirabel took a deep breath and lifted her dress a bit with her hands, then made her way to the maid.

She nodded at her escorts, who stood by the door of her chamber, and she walked past them, letting them walk behind her while holding the hem of her dress up.

They arrived in front of the tall brown door that leads into the hall, and she halted.

Her hands trembled and she took deep breaths, allowing a smile to form on her face, hiding the invisible pain she was going through. This is for her babies.

The maids that were holding the twins also arrived at the door and stood beside her. She turned her head and glanced at her babies, and tears welled up in her eyes. 'Mother loves you both very much.' She smiled as she said it in her heart and turned to the tall door standing in front of them.

The announcers announced their arrival, and with their heads tilted up, Mirabel, together with the maids holding onto her babies, stepped into the hall as the door was opened for them, and their eyes fell on a vast room filled with so many people, both men, and women.

From the way everyone was dressed, she could tell that they were from rich families. The poor ones weren't allowed to enter the palace but wait at the gate to see the prince when the Supreme Alpha walk up to the high tower and raise the child to show to the moon goddess.

Mirabel swallowed and plastered a smile on her face. Ignoring the stares from everyone, she began to walk towards the throne with the maids carrying her babies walking beside her.

They reached the stairs that led up to the throne, and Mirabel, together with the maids, bowed deeply to Alpha Lekhma, who nodded his head in response.

She turned to Natasha, who sat near Lekhma on the high throne with a smirk on her face and respectfully bowed.

She straightened up and gracefully walked up the stairs to sit on a lower throne beside the Supreme Alpha.

Lekhma glanced at Mirabel with a smile on his face, but when he saw her expressionless face, he took a deep breath and turned to stare down at the maids carrying the babies.

The people around him, who were also staring intently at the twins, murmured to each other and only faced Lekhma when he cleared his throat.

"I know what everyone is thinking, but no worries, things will be done as they were done years ago. No exception. " Lekhma smiled at his subjects and stood up from the throne.

"Unfortunately, I ended up having twins instead of one child, but... that won't change anything. I will still act accordingly." Lekhma's eyes fluttered, and a smile hiding the bitterness he was feeling emerged on his face. "Only one of the babies will live." 

Mirabel's heart skipped a bit when she heard that, and she darted her eyes around to see Mother Mary seated on the right side, where the important people in the place sat.

Mother Mary blinked her eyes, telling her to stay calm, and she nodded.

She turned her head to gaze at Lekhma, who was still talking to the guests.

"I have finally made a decision and one of the two of them will be slain here, in front of everyone." The crowds nodded at his decision, as though it was wise.

Mirabel's heart tightened inside of her, and she suddenly saw Mother Mary urging her to say something. Her eyes fluttered, and she stood up from her throne when Lekhman asked if anyone had any objections. "May I speak, Supreme Alpha?"

"Yes." Lekhma nodded at her, and she took a long, deep breath before parting her lips to say something.

"I request the Blue Miracle to be used on both of them before a decision is made on which one to be killed."

The crowds blinked their eyes when they heard her words, and they all turned their heads to glance at each other. 

They exchanged murmurs for a moment before slowly nodding their heads in agreement.

"Supreme Alpha, her suggestion is quite considerate. It will benefit us to not make a mistake and hurt the real future Alpha while leaving the non-alpha alive." One of the guests who were of high status stood up and said, and the others nodded, showing they agreed with his words.

Alpha Lekhma, who was already frowning at Mirabel's words, creased his brow at the words of the guest and a deep breath escaped his lips.

He smiled at the guest and turned to Rohan, ordering him to have his men bring out the Blue Miracle.

Rohan nodded and left with three men to fetch the Blue Miracle.

Everyone, including Mirabel and Mother Mary, waited in anticipation for Rohan to arrive with the Blue Miracle.

Minutes passed, and the tall door opened, revealing Rohan and the three men standing with a stone that had the shape of a box in their hands.. On the body of the stones were letters written in an ancient language that they still couldn't understand.
