Fated Marriage with the Alpha

Three

Chapter three

Hailey's POV

I chuckled dryly as my life flashed before my eyes.

My life has suddenly turned into a roller coaster within a twinkle of an eye.

How can a nineteen years old me who has never had a boyfriend in my entire life suddenly be getting married out of the blue?

And the worst part, I was getting married to someone I do not know.

How more interesting can my life get at this point?

"Okay, I am going to have to reject this one in particular, I'm not ready for marriage yet, and I can't possibly get married to a man I do not know," I said.

"I'm sorry but this is the path that has been chosen for you both, it cannot be avoided or adjusted," one of them replied.

So what now? Keeping me here against my will isn't enough? Now they are going to marry me off to the unknown?

"Who is he?" I found myself asking.

Well, if I am going to be doing this, I need to know who I'm dealing with.

"Your meeting with him will be arranged later Hailey, right now, you need all the rest you can get, we'll leave you to it," one of them replied and they all stood up.

"Welcome home Hailey," the old woman said to me with a warm smile and walked out of the room, the rest followed suit.

I laid back on the bed with so much anger boiling inside me, how did I get here?

Weeks ago I was just a regular college student who has no friends or family, I had only one crush and that was Paxton.

How did I possibly swerve from all that to becoming a werewolf in one night? Not just any werewolf but "their savior" as they said.

And mated to an unknown man who I was going to get married to in a few days.

Funny enough, I cannot even meet him unless a meeting is arranged for us.

Who knows? It could probably be an old ugly man who is ashamed to show his face to me.

And to think I will stay married to him for the rest of my life.

I felt a drop of tear roll down my cheeks.

This isn't how I envisioned my life to turn out, everything I have ever wished for has been shattered, and now I am stuck here for the rest of my life.

An idea suddenly struck my head.

I can only be stuck here if I wish to be, what if I could escape? I will be free again.

I slowly lifted myself from the bed, I was in deep pain but I needed to be strong, I bit my lips to subdue the pain and managed to stand up from the bed completely and limped towards the door.

As soon as I got to the door, I suddenly realized that I do not even know where I am.

Well, I will keep walking till I'm out of here, anywhere is better than this place.

I slowly opened the door and first, peeped through a tiny space to avoid being caught.

No one was in sight, great!

They will all assume that I'm resting right now, by the time they find out, I will be far gone.

I opened the door a bit wider and stepped out.

Surprisingly, all I could see was thick bushes surrounding the whole place, it looked really scary but I didn't let that get to me, I needed to be out of here by all means and that is all that matters to me right now.

I tiptoed through different corners, taking every route that seems to be leading somewhere.

I suddenly missed a step and fell on the floor with a heavy thud.

A sharp cry escaped my mouth as the pain rippled through my body.

"Are you okay miss?" I heard a deep voice behind me and I quickly sprung up to my feet, the pain surprisingly disappeared as I got ready to defend myself.

I suddenly stood frozen on the spot staring at the figure right in front of me.

It was taking everything in me holding myself back from letting my mouth part open in awe.

I definitely wouldn't have been this dazed if he had managed to look a bit less hot than he is.

He was clad mysteriously in an all-black outfit, his hair deep black and slightly ruffled, amazing blue/green eyes, and perfectly structured jawline, his height and muscular arms were second to none, he had the looks of a complete Greek God.

Paxton's good looks suddenly felt like s**t compared to what I was staring at.

I have never seen anyone this dreamily built before.

He could easily pass for a beauty.

"Aren't you the young lady that was brought in yesterday?" His voice snapped me out of my chain of sinful thoughts.

Oh no! He's one of them.

"Are you trying to escape?" He asked staring intently at me.

"And what if I am trying to escape huh? I'm being held here against my will," I snapped.

I watched as his face crumpled into a sad frown.

"You know that you have been chosen to save us from this curse right?" He said.

"And I wanted to help, I really wanted to, but if I have to do that by getting married to an ugly old man who is hiding his face from me, then I can't," I replied.

His face suddenly lit up.

"You think he's old and ugly? And he's hiding his face from you?" He chuckled.

Okay? How is this funny?

"Yeah well, they won't at least let me see him," I replied.

"And you just assumed?" He said chuckling slightly.

"Please, I know you are one of them but please don't take me back there, you need to let me escape," I pleaded.

"I have absolutely no intention of helping you?" He replied cockily and my eyes widened in shock.

How could someone this handsome be a brute?

I walked closer to him with a pitiful look on my face.

"I am a lady in distress, you refuse to help a lady who is...

"I refuse to help when the lady is trying to escape so she doesn't have to marry me," he blurted out and my eyes flew open in shock, my eyeballs threatening to burst out of its sockets.
