Arranged Marriage Royalty AU for Scott McCall and Haven Argent:
Princess Haven Argent had known of her betrothal to the Prince of Wolves since the day she was born, yet she only knew him through whispered rumors of his wild and untamed nature. He was said to be a beast, unworthy of marrying a human princess. Despite her father's assurances that the tales were false, she knew his primary aim was to secure peace between their realms. Suspicious of her father's intentions and unwilling to wed a stranger, Haven resolved to escape her fate.
With her eighteenth birthday and impending wedding approaching, Haven seized her first opportunity to flee. Unfamiliar with the world beyond the castle walls, she quickly found herself lost in the dense, shadowy forest. The rustle of footsteps nearby sent her heart racing, and she hid behind a tree, her breath held tight.
Suddenly, a hooded figure appeared before her, causing her to scream. "Are you trying to make me go deaf?" the figure laughed, pulling back his hood to reveal the most handsome young man Haven had ever seen.
"You scared me!" she exclaimed, finding her voice.
"That wasn't my intention, Princess," he replied with a roguish grin, bowing slightly. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Scott McCall."
"How did you know I was the Princess? And what are you doing in the woods?" she demanded.
"I will answer your second question first. I am here because it seems you and I share the same desire to avoid this wedding," he explained, seeing her confusion. "When Iâm arranged to marry someone, I at least want to know what they look like."
Realization dawned on Haven. This was the Wolf Prince, the man she was meant to marry the next day. Yet he seemed nothing like the rumors suggested. "Well then, since neither of us is too keen on this wedding, what are we to do now?"
"Oh, that was before," Scott replied with a soft smile. "I have no intentions of avoiding the wedding now. I can already tell youâre nothing like I've been told."
Haven crossed her arms and scoffed. "And what have you heard about me?"
"Walk with me back to the castle, and I'll tell you. And Iâm sure you have rumors about me to share as well." Scott extended his hand.
After a moment's hesitation, Haven placed her hand in his. "Fine, Iâll come back with you. But if you're anything like Iâve heard, this wedding is off, and weâll find another way to keep the peace."
Scott's smile widened. "Looks like we had the same idea again."
As they walked back to the castle, they exchanged tales and rumors, each finding the other far different from the stories they had heard. By the time they reached the castle gates, both knew they wouldnât need to find another way to maintain peace. Even if they hadnât been arranged to wed, they would have chosen each other anyway.
