“Meet Alpha Dante, your mate and husband.”
‘You’ve got to be kidding me!’ She screamed in her head.
“Wh… what?” She asked and walked fully into the living room.
“He says he is your mate and husband.” Her sister said, and she glared at her.
She glanced at Alpha Dante and he had a smirk on his face. He looked pleased and satisfied. Blakeley shook her head and rushed up the stairs.
“He is bluffing, he is definitely bluffing.” She chuckled as she entered her room.
“I will just go back to sleep and when I wake up, this will be all over.” She sighed and lay on her bed.

DAYS LATER
With her arms locked with her father’s and the sound of the slow music playing in the background, Blakeley walked down the passageway created in the ballroom as she stared at her husband waiting for her.
Days ago she thought this could never happen but here she was, getting married to one of the most powerful Alpha. Her father really had a way of controlling her life.
They got to him and he smiled at her, her father let go of her and he held her hand.
“Would you like to say your vows?” The priest asked.
“Can we not do that please?” She whispered to the priest and her younger sister groaned.
“She really needs to understand the fact that everybody here can hear her.” Cassie, her sister, chuckled.
Alpha Dante nodded at the priest and he smiled.
“Okay then. Let's just do this quickly.” He announced, and Blakeley turned to the crowd. Her father made sure the important members of the council were present. She sighed when she couldn't find any member of her pack. They really did split up.
“Ma’am?” She heard the priest call and she snapped out of her thoughts. She turned to him and gave him a questioning look.
“Huh?”
“Do you Blakeley Xanders take Dante Williams as your… “
“Yeah, yeah, I do.” She cut him off and he smiled.
“You should have let me finish, I see you are excited to go home with your husband.” He joked and the crowd laughed, including her father.
“Of course.” She replied with a fake smile.
“By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.” He announced and the crowd cheered. Dante leaned forward to kiss her and she moved her lips slightly which made him end up kissing her cheeks.
The crowd cheered and they celebrated for hours, she had no time to talk to her family. Dante didn't let her leave his sight.
It was finally time for them to leave and her family escorted her to the car, her sister hugged her tightly and she smiled.
“I didn't know you loved me this much.” Blakeley teased and she chuckled.
“It will just be boring being alone at home.”
“Ugh, you are fifteen already, very soon Dad will be on your neck.” She joked and they both laughed.
She glanced at her parents who were having a conversation with Dante and she rolled her eyes.
“Aren't you going to say goodbye to Mum?”
“She isn't worth it.” She replied and waited for Dante, he walked to her with a smile and held her hand.
Her mother smiled at her but she turned to Dante instead.
“Can we go now?”
“Oh, aren't you going to say goodbye to your… “
“No.” She replied and let go of him and walked to the car, she entered and turned to the other side so her family wouldn't see her tearing up.
She sniffed and played with her fingers, Dante joined her in the car and she breathed heavily as the chauffeur ignited the car.
“Oh God.” She whispered and he drove away.
“I don't think she understands wolves can hear things from a far distance.” Cassie said and her mother sighed.
“I could hear her heart race.”
“She will be fine.” Her father shrugged.
After Blakeley was able to control her tears, she turned to Dante and saw him going through his phone.
“Where are we going?” She asked and he glanced at her.
“The airport.”
“Why? We are travelling?”
“Yeah, I don't stay here in New Orleans, I stay in Los Angeles.”
“What?” She asked with her eyes widening.
“Is something wrong?”
“Did my dad know that?”
“What? That I stay in Los Angeles? Of course. I think your mum also knows.” He replied with a shrug and she scoffed.
“He really wanted to get rid of me.” She scoffed.
“But New Orleans to Los Angeles is like a five-hour flight and it is 9:00 pm already.”
“Yeah, I am aware. We should be there past midnight.”
“Oh God.” She sighed and ran her hands through her hair.

MANY HOURS LATER
Blakeley felt a tap on her shoulder repeatedly and she slowly opened her eyes, she saw a man dressed in a black suit staring at her.
“Ma’am, we have landed in Los Angeles. Mr. Williams is waiting outside for you.” He said and she nodded, the guard helped her up and they walked out of the plane.
She got outside and met Dante talking to men dressed in black, she walked to him and he glanced at her.
“That will be all for now.” He said and they bowed before walking towards the cars parked distance from them.
Without saying a word to her, he walked ahead of her and she had a confused look before trailing behind him.
They both got to the car and entered.
“Dante.” Blakeley called and he ignored her.
“Dante.” She called again and still got no response.
“Dante.”
“Can you shut up?” He snapped and she flinched.
“I’m sorry. I didn't know you were not in the mood for a conversation.” She sighed.
After a while, the car pulled over at a mansion and they both got down, Dante walked ahead of her and she groaned before trailing behind him.
They went into the house and she looked around, she looked around and sighed.
“Hey.” Dante called, and she turned to him.
“Take off your ring.”
“What?”
“The ring, take it off.” He ordered and she stared at the ring on her finger.
“But why?”
“Take the f*****g ring off.” He raised his voice a little and she hurriedly took it off, she handed it to him and he tucked it in his pocket.
“If anyone asks who you are, you work for me. You will accompany me to parties and business meetings and I will do the introduction. But here, you work for me.”
“What? So you are using me?” She asked and he scoffed.
“Using you? You are useless to me. Your father paid me to get married to you, it's not like you have any worth.”
“What?”
