The Mafia Alpha’s Contracted Wife

Chapter three

I could feel the excitement in my wolf as she fell before my feet. Ever since Kourtney put the idea of marrying Kathryn in my head, my wolf was never restless and was always excited. I could feel a very strong scent despite the fact she was very close to me and I couldn’t explain it. I thought I loved Kourtney but I’d never felt this way with Kourtney.

Seeing Kathryn at my feet pleading for her mother broke my heart and made my wolf somehow sad but I didn’t care, the only thing that mattered to me was my business and if this was the only way I could bag a billion dollar deal, I had to do it.

“Do you agree?” I asked coldly and she stared at her mother who’s head had a gun pointed at it. I knew she was broken and it hurt me for some strange reason. I couldn’t understand why this hurt me because it wasn’t the first time I was threatening a person with a family member. At other times, if I lost my cool, I had their heads blown off with bullets but then seeing her this way broke me and i cursed myself for not being able to explain what was going on with my life and wolf.

“Why are you doing this?” She asked in tears. “My mother never did anything to you, it was me who’d slapped you and it was my father who’d taken a loan of two million wasn’t he? Why are you punishing my mother then?” She asked in tears and my wolf was kicking hard against me. It was such a torture for me, having my heart broken because she was in tears and my wolf kicking against me within because of her and it made me wonder who she was. How could she have so much control over my heart and wolf? Lothaire, my wolf was never like this. This was the first time it had ever kicked against me and why was this, because of Kathryn. Could she be my mate?

At this point, I couldn’t help but wish I wasn’t cursed… why was I a cursed alpha? If I hadn’t been cursed, I would have been able to tell the moment I’d seen her If she was my mate but because of the curse, I couldn’t tell and I hated Selene for this.

“No Kathryn, don’t do this. Let him kill me just please, don’t ruin your life trying to save me, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if you married such a terrible man because of me “ her mother told her weakly and my wolf kicked against it sternly.

Why was Lothaire so desperate for me to marry Kathryn.

“You heard your mother didn’t you? Don’t marry me and then let her die” I told her and I knew she was very indecisive but the Kathryn I’d made so much research about had to agree and she did.

“I’ll marry you. I’m ready to marry you and be your wife just please, let my mother go” she said and immediately she agreed, I felt so excited in my wolf but I chose to hide it.

“Well then, you have made a good decision.” I told her and signaled for the female thugs to get her ready for the wedding. It wasn’t going to be an elaborate one but I needed the pictures and the certificate to show I was worthy of loving someone.

I looked towards Mrs Wilson, she was in tears as she watched her daughter being dragged away but what could I do? I’d already lost my mate recognition, I couldn’t lose money too.

KATHRYN’s POV…..

Tears streamed down my cheeks as the female thugs walked me to the altar with a gun pointed at my head. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply as they walked me to the chair where I saw Alexander already seated.

They pushed me and I sat beside him before a priest who also had a gun pointed at his head and I couldn’t help but wonder how awful the man could be. He even had the audacity to point a gun at the head of a priest but there was one thing that confused me the most.. why did he want to marry me? Of all things, why’d he choose marriage? There were so many other pretty and more worthy girls. More girls that matched the kind of person he was were out there so of them all, why’d he choose me?

“Do you Kathryn Wilson accept Alexander Gunderson to be your lawfully wedded husband.. for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and health.. till death do you part?” The priest asked. There was no way I’d have accepted these conditions if my mother wasn’t held at gun point and a gun wasn’t pointed at my head but I had to. I looked at the female thug behind me and then at my mother who had been brought to witness her daughter getting married to a ruthless don.

I took a big inhale before speaking, “yes, …. I do “ I said and stared at him and for some reason, he had a very big smile on his face and I hated it when I saw him happy.. I just wished he’d die before the priest asked if he took me as his wife but he didn’t. The priest asked him if he accepted me as his wife and agreed.

When he said the words, “I do”, I shut my eyes, it was over.

“You are now husband and wife” the priest said and the tears streamed down my cheeks more freely.

“You may now kiss your bride” he said and just as Alexander leaned in to kiss me, I shut my eyes. It was going to be my first kiss and I couldn’t believe it was going to be taken away by a ruthless don, a man who I hated so much.

Still waiting for his lips to meet with mine, I opened my eyes… it was taking so long and on opening my eyes, I saw that he’d withdrawn and he smiled to himself.

“It seems my new wife is so eager to kiss me isn’t she?” He teased and I looked away in shame. What did I think? Did I really think such a ruthless man would want to kiss me? Did I think things would go so smoothly with him? I felt like a fool.

“I… I don’t want to kiss you” I told him.

“That’s great because you look too ugly and disgusting to be kissed” he said to me and I didn’t care. I had to get used to this.

“P..please sign these” the priest said in fear and I felt so scared but I had to especially when I saw the goon getting the gun ready. I inhaled deeply before finally signing the documents and then passed it to Alexander who signed it.

“That’s great “ he said and before I could say Jack Robinson, I felt him carry me in his hands and walk out of the room and just as we were leaving, I heard a gun shot.

I turned and I saw the priest fall to the ground after a picture had been taken of myself and Alexander.

“We don’t want anyone knowing you aren’t happy with this” he told me and I gasped in shock… how was someone so ruthless!

.

ALEXANDER’s POV…..

I couldn’t understand my wolf anymore. Why was Lothaire acting so strangely around Kathryn? When the priest said we could kiss, I suddenly had no control of myself and I almost kissed her but luckily… the goon behind her had stopped me in time. Of them all, she was not a human.. she was also a werewolf and was the delta of my pack. After I’d been cursed, she made it her life’s mission to make sure I was always safe.

She’d managed to stop me from kissing Kathryn but sadly she couldn’t stop me from carrying her in my arms away… I had no idea where we were headed but I sure knew that whatever I was doing.. I had no control, my wolf did.

Something in me was telling me that this was going to be more than just a contractual marriage!
