Chapter 6

'What happened? was it not just to pick a bride?"

Rohan asked Linda as he helped her pull off her shoes.

Linda was so tired of the whole thing, she wasn't even able to tell him what happened.

'Rohan, I am so tired of everything, my life is like a whole bunch of issues. It's like when I am trying to come out of one trouble I end up meeting something much worse" Linda said in a depressed way.

Linda tried her best not to cry but she couldn't hold it anymore. She felt she was in a total mess and no one could save her out of it. Rohan noticed the tear rolling down from Linda cheeks, he stopped what he was doing and went to wipe away the tears .

'What is wrong? Did anything happen over there?" Rohan said in a calm tone.

Linda couldn't reply to him, instead she began to cry out loud. The tear welled down her eye the more, she couldn't control it anymore. Rohan noticed that she was so sad and he didn't want to make it worsen so he tried calming her down with a hug.

'It's okay, let it out" he said as he tried consoling her in an assuring tone.

After a while Linda stopped crying, and asked for water which Rohan quickly went to get for her. She wiped away her tears with the handkerchief Rohan gave to her.

'Have it" Rohan said as he handed over the cup of water to Linda .

'Thank you" Linda said, collecting the cup of water from Rohan in a shaking voice due to a long cry.

Linda was now settled and ready to talk, she felt that she should tell him rather than him hearing it from another person. In another thought she felt that Rohan would be so angry to hear that the Alpha picked her as his bride during the Alpha bride choosing ceremony. So first bit around for a little.

'Hmmm…so… when I got there hmm…" Linda stammered

'Linda, is everything all right?" Rohan asked.

Linda noticed how eager Rohan was so she decided to just go straight to point.

'Rohan, what I am about to say is not just going to be shocking to only you but also still a shock to me" she said as she looked him in the eye in a calm and assuring tone.

Rohan didn't understand what was going on and didn't want to interrupt Linda so he didn't say anything until she was done talking.

'Today… During the Alpha bride choosing ceremony all ten of us were present and we all gave short presentations on our self… nd… and when we were done, Alpha Lucas…Alpha Lucas he…" Linda stammered.

'He did what? Talk! or have your tongue suddenly being cut off" Rohan asked Linda because he was eagerly

Linda was so scared to tell him she was picked by the cold Alpha Lucas .

'He picked me!!!" She screamed.

There was silence everywhere for a few seconds, Rohan was trying to process the whole thing in her head while Linda was waiting patiently for his response before Rohan finally broke the silence when he asked Linda ;

'He picked you?" Almost about to cry when he picked up some courage.

Linda felt so bad for both herself and Rohan, seeing him hold back his tears made her feel so bad, she couldn't hold back her own tears.

'I told you I am a cursed child, why will the wicked and cold hearted Alpha Lucas pick me of all the girls. He already saw the mark of a cursed child and knew that I was the best person for punishment and death" she said in a shaking voice because she was crying.

Rohan, who was about to blame her for allowing the Alpha to pick her, began to sympathize with her because he realized it wasn't her fault but that of the Alpha.

'Don't cry Linda, I have told you to stop calling yourself a cursed child. You are not cursed, you are only passing through a stage where things are very difficult for you, very soon you will cross that path and stage then start enjoying the good of your life. okay?" Rohan assured Linda in a calm way which made her stop crying for the moment.

'What will happen to us if I get married to the Alpha?" Linda asked Rohan.

There were a few seconds of silence. Rohan was in deep thought, he remembered that he was the one who convinced Linda to go for the Alpha' bride choosing ceremony.

'I am going to confront the Alpha and give him a piece of my mind, you are in a relationship so you can't be the Alpha' bride or mate" he said to Linda with a serious look on his face.

'According to the tradition the Alpha is not supposed to pick a mate who already has a boyfriend and has intentions of getting married to him" he continued.

Linda was so happy to hear this, she jumped up in excitement and hugged Rohan.

'Yes! Exactly! That is what we are going to do" she said as she hugged Rohan tightly.

Linda was so happy to know that there was a way out of the whole situation. She went into her room to take a shower and get changed before coming down for dinner. While she was taking her shower had a flashback and remembered her father.

'I hope he is okay wherever he is, not creating problems for himself or making trouble for people" she said to herself with a sad look on her face.

She took a while in the shower before coming out to change her clothes into her nightmare. While dressing she perceived a sweet and nice aroma which she felt came from the kitchen.

'Rohan!! I feel so so famished right now" Linda shouted from her room knowing fully well that he was done cooking and the scent of the food was already all over the house. She just wanted him to hurry up and serve the food because she couldn't wait any longer.

Rohan didn't respond to her because he was already done cooking.

'Linda, you're not down yet? Come downstairs the food is ready " Rohan shouted when he realized she was not yet at the dining table.

Linda came downstairs immediately after hearing him. They were both laughing and having a good time together as they ate.

Linda had ran out of some food items so she needed to go get them in the market.

'Oh no! There is nothing left in the house to cook I need to go get some beverages" Linda murmured to herself.

She went inside, picked up her bag, checked if she had money in it and how much was in it before stepping out.

As Linda walked down the road people turned and greeted her with their heads bowed. Some called her 'Alpha's bride'' while some called her 'the lucky star". This was the first time Linda felt she was not that unlucky because some of them thought she was lucky for her to get the attention of the almighty Alpha Lucas. They had thought he would not pick any of the candidates selected for him. Linda felt so overwhelmed, she had never felt like this all her life. She had always had several dreams where people bowed down and praised her as she passed, but she never thought it would ever happen.

When she eventually got to where she was to get the beverage she needed they all waited for her to pick all what she wanted and when she was done picking, she went to the counter to pay for it but they refused to collect the money instead the gave her more beverages and told her.

'Please put in good words for us in the presence of the Alpha so he could pick us as his beverage vendor." One of the workers there whispered to her as she handed a basket of fruit to her.

'Hmm" was the only word Linda could say at that point.

As she was leaving the store they all paused and waited for her to pass before the continued doing what they were doing. Linda didn't notice this until she heard some of the workers shout

'Thank you for patronizing us Ma we love you and appreciate you!!!" She then turned and saw all of them facing her with their head bowed down.

Linda had never felt this way all her life. It was very emotional to her that she could not hold her tears anymore. Few drops welled down her eyes and she immediately cleaned them so that no one would notice.

'You are welcome and I love you to!!" She shouted as she gave them a big smile.

As she walked down to board a bus at the bus station a nice ride stopped and a well dressed man came down from it and told her 'please can I give you a ride" Linda had never seen the man before so she declined the offer. The man begged and gave her reasons, she understood that the man was only trying to be nice to her because of his relationship with the Alpha so she hoped in the car.

The man dropped her in front of her boyfriend house where she stays and said to her

'Please when you get married to the Alpha please put in good words for me" with a smile on his face.

'Hmm" she signed and also gave him a smile.

'Hmmm what a lovely day" Linda said to her self with a smile on her face as she entered the house.
