Desired By The Alpha

Chapter １９

"I'm married!" I spat it out before my mother could finish her sentence. I was irritated by the fact that she had arbitrarily chosen my course of action. My mother's authoritarian tendencies made it difficult to breathe while I was in the same room as her, despite the fact that our relationship wasn't particularly strained. As soon as I became 18, I moved out of my parents' house and got a job that allowed me to support myself financially. The only reason I went to the mating ceremony was because I wanted to escape my mother's insane control freak mentality and get married, but that wasn't the only reason. I was aware that she would not be pleased, but at least I knew that she would not push her one and only kid away as a result of this.

"What?!" In direct contrast to what I had anticipated, she let out a piercing scream from the other side. "How? When? Why?"

"While I was there, I had the pleasure of meeting..." I halted. The man I ended up marrying had a reputation for being quite cruel. It would have been appropriate for Mom to know about it. I was curious to hear what her opinion would be on the matter. "Asta." I spoke to her in a whisper that was so soft that I wasn't even sure if she could hear me.

However, she did hear what I had to say. After a little period of silence, she broke it with a reprimand delivered in a harsh tone of voice. "He's a murderer! Why did you decide to go with him? You are aware that it was not I who made the decision, right? However, my mother would not comprehend. So I continued to listen. "I want you to know, Danika, that if you give in to him and stay with him, you will no longer be my daughter!" And she ended the call by hanging up.

I was taken aback to the point where I did not move. It wasn't until Asta came back that she saw me in such a state of disbelief and astonishment. Instantaneously, he grabbed my phone and questioned, "What the hell just happened?"

And the tears just kept coming out of my eyes. "M-Mom, she despised you," the child said. And I went through everything with him very gently.

Immediately, Asta wrapped her arms around me and gave my head a little kiss while assuring me, "Don't worry. Within the next month, I still anticipate providing you with the company of a cute little puppy. If she saw you with our other kid, there is no doubt that she would welcome you.

The next day, I found myself and Asta seated in the automobile together. The night before, he went through the mating ritual all over again, which made me see the stars, the cosmos, and everything else. When I thought back to it, I couldn't help but redden.

"About what are you ruminating right now?" His tone included an undercurrent of playful banter. I was sure that he had deduced that I was once again considering doing something inappropriate in my head. I changed my direction to face the window and steadfastly refused to utter a single word.

How is it possible for someone to have such perspective? Simply by observing my facial expression, he was able to immediately understand what I was thinking. It may be somewhat aggravating at times, but it was also really cute.

To my great relief, Asta did not ask me any questions. He didn't elaborate; he just changed the subject. "Why don't you inquire as to the destination of our trip?"

I c****d my head to the side and sent him a sidelong look. This is something that has intrigued me. Now that he has spoken it publicly, I have the opportunity to question him about it. "Where?"

"to the city proper. The certificate of our marriage will be obtained."

Marriage. It was still hard for me to comprehend that I had been married to someone who had a reputation for being both nasty and mad. But once I tied the knot, I realized that those stories weren't even close to being accurate!

How is it possible that such a kind person may be someone who is as cruel as the stories claim he is? Even if someone offered to give me one thousand dollars, I wouldn't believe in it even if it were true.

I caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of my eye and saw that he was humming a tune while simultaneously tapping his finger on the driving wheel. When he suddenly became aware of my stare, one of the corners of his mouth turned up. "What are you staring at, you itty-bitty kitten?"

Once more with the cat! I sulked in response to this. Why did he feel the need to give me such an odd name? Was I someone who liked cats?!

I put my arms in a cross-chest position and flatly refused to engage in further conversation with him. I wouldn't give it so much as a sidelong look!

But who could have predicted that this individual would all of a sudden become even less remorseful?

"As long as you keep pursing your lips and lifting your breasts in that manner, I won't be able to stop you from doing what occurred last night," she said.

When I heard his words, my eyes widened and I immediately dropped my hand while simultaneously drawing my body closer to the seat it was sitting on. As a hint of blush crept up my cheeks, I turned the window while it was happening.

We arrived at our location in a short time and then proceeded to stroll together toward the workplace. This location had a diverse population consisting of both humans and werewolves. The people were completely unaware of the existence of creatures such as werewolves.

After taking care of the necessary papers, we were asked for our address, and the clerk informed us that the certificate will be sent to us through overnight delivery service. When we were done, we headed home.
