Davina's pov
"Stop overthinking it, Davina." Stacy started, placing her hand in mine. "nothing like that is going to happen, it's all in your head. I know you're scared about doing this but Eren and I would be here to support you all the way." Stacy said, breaking my train of thought.
"Is...is that so?" I asked as I held Stacy's gaze.
"Yes, it is," Stacy said reassuringly. I heaved a sigh of relief knowing that I was not going to be alone in this, it felt as if a huge load had been lifted off of my shoulders.
Eren came running in the next minute, the smile still etched on his face. "We have to leave now!" Eren said in a rush.
"Leave, where are leaving to?" I asked him.
"We're leaving for Silverstone City, that's where I'm from" Eren replied almost immediately.
"Oh!" I said simply as I stood to my feet, my heart began to race faster in my chest when Eren mentioned that we were going to his pack which meant that I was going to meet with his brother, Lucian.
"Are we leaving now?" I asked nervously.
"Yes we have to leave now, we can't waste any more time," Eren said and made his way to the door, exiting immediately.
"Yes, Davina, we can't waste any more time." Stacy chipped in and also made her way out. I clutched my bag tightly and sighed before leaving.

The trip to Silverstone City was silent, Eren still had the same smile on his face until we finally arrived at his pack.
"We're here!" He announced the moment we got there. My jaw hung down loosely as I beheld Lucian's house, It was the grandest I had ever seen. I managed to close my mouth but my gaze never left the palace.
"Davina!" Eren called out, taking my hand in his. I forced myself to take my eyes off the palace as they fell on him.
"We'll have to leave you here." He said and unlocked the cat from within for me to come down.
"What?!" I let out, my eyes bulging in surprise.
"Lucian is waiting for you. You have to go meet him." Eren explained.
"But what about you?" I asked. "I have to go and make proper arrangements, the wedding is going to be today!" He announced.
"What, and you didn't tell me?" I exclaimed.
"It's going to be alright Davina," Eren said and kissed me on the cheek, discharging me from the car immediately.
I barely had the time to recover from what Eren told me when some women came up to me dressed in uniform and led me Into the palace. I didn't have time to ask questions, I just assumed that they had been waiting for my arrival and were just carrying out the duties they had been assigned to do.
I watched in silence as they dressed me up in the most beautiful apparel embedded with pearls on every side, they coated my hair with flowers of every kind and endowed my body with the most expensive Jewelry, in all my life, I have never felt nor looked this beautiful.
"The boss awaits you!" The women chorused and led me out of the room they had dressed me in. I swallowed the bile in my throat and trailed behind them slowly as they led me to where Lucian stood with his arms behind him.
I froze in my tracks the moment I laid eyes on Lucian. His features seemed sculpted by the gods themselves, each line and curve a masterpiece of perfection. When our eyes met, time seemed to stand still.
"What are you waiting for, come over here!" Lucian called out to me and that was when I realised that I had been staring.
"Yes...yes, I will." I said and breached the gap between us.
"Good day, Lucian." I greeted with a smile on my face. "I'm Davi..." I tried to introduce myself to him but he held a hand up, stopping me rudely.
"There's no need for that!" He said rashly, "We're running out of time, we have a wedding to attend. And you better be on your best behavior, I don't want you ruining this one again for me." Lucian said and at this point, I had lost my cool.
I closed my eyes and took in multiple deep breaths, trying to stay put. How dare he talk to me so condescendingly. I wanted to confront him about his rude output but I decided to just let it slide, maybe he was just having a bad day.
I nodded my head simply and followed him to where the wedding was supposed to be held. I realized that it was a private wedding, it was just us and three other people that were in attendance.
The moment we exchanged our vows, Lucian didn't wait for even a single moment before he took me into his home. There was a confused expression on my face as he showed me to my room.
"Uhm, I don't think there's any need for me to be here, I have already done my job." I let out and began gathering my things.
"You must be joking!" He scoffed and held my hand back from moving. "I already paid for your services which entails you being married to me and staying here with me..... forever, or don't you understand how marriages work.?" Lucian let out sarcastically.
"But your brother told me that..." I was about to say something but I was interrupted by a loud laugh that caused me to swallow my words.
"What brother are you talking about?" He said after he had managed to suppress his laughter. "You think that Eren is my brother? This was all part of the plan and the sooner you get over it, the better for you."
I felt my heart shatter into pieces, Eren wasn't Lucian's brother and this was all a setup.
"Oh my...." I couldn't get all my words out. My fingers trembled as I searched for my phone frantically and tried to reach Eren but I couldn't.
"No this can't be happening to me," I said as I continued to dial his line. His line was out of reach which sent my heart to palpitate faster than its usual rate.
"This must be a joke, isn't it?" I asked no one in particular. But Lucian responded, confirming my biggest fear.
"Suit yourself!" He said as he sat back down and watched me panic.
I swallowed the bile in my throat and decided to try texting Eren instead when a notification popped up on my phone.
"No, no, no, no!" I yelled. "This...this has got to be unreal!"
Eren was getting married to Satcy?! I screamed inside my head when I saw the notification that had popped up on my phone. My phone immediately fell out of my grasp and hot tears began to run down my cheeks.
I made my way toward Lucian and immediately went on my knees. "I beg you, Lucian, please I need to see Eren. This....this can't be true..." I pleaded, almost reaching out to grab his legs.
"Suit yourself!" He said simply. I thanked him generously before I ran out of his house, making my way down to Eren's house. I ditched the wedding gown that was slowing me down and ran down the streets like a mad woman.
