CHRIS
He watches her carefully, deliberating as she takes some time to decide. It's almost like she has made a decision but is still unsure if she made the right choice.
"I accept," Anna says with so much uncertainty.
Chris smirks, and the next thing he says shocks Anna. He wants her to live with him in the villa until the wedding. He believes that trying to be friends will make their relationship more believable.

Today, they are at his parents' house, getting ready to meet with them. It has been twelve days now. They have spent their time going on late-night walks, familiarizing themselves with the birds around his villa, and even gone horseback riding.
Eventually, they both began to open up to each other. However, they are nervous as they don't know if they will be able to sell their newly established friendship as a relationship.
Their thoughts are cut short as they are now in the Tucker's villa, waiting to see Chris's parents. His parents arrive, but there is someone with them—a young lady who looks at Anna with so much scorn.
Lauren descends the stairs and sees Chris with this beautiful girl, wondering who she might be. It's not long before he introduces her as his wife-to-be.
Lauren's father, Ed, inquires, "Son, who are her parents?"
They watch him fidget, lost for words. He admits that she isn't a billionaire's daughter and she comes from a humble background. Why would he leave Mandy for a girl with no status?
Chris pretends not to see his parents trying to control their rage, but this is his choice, and he will stand by it. He tells them to let him marry for love this time. He has finally found his Luna, and her name is Anna—the woman good enough to lead the Tucker's pack by his side.
"You're so concerned with the wrong things. What has love got to do with this?" Lauren says, intending to break the silence in the room. As she says this, she sees Mandy turn from the corner of her eye and start to grumble, but Lauren tells her to calm down and watch everything play out.
Mandy mumbles a quick goodbye and leaves the lounge area.
“Chris, when we don't completely agree with your choice, we have an ultimatum, and unless there are serious allegations against Anna, then we give consent,” Ed adds.
Unknown to them, Mandy stays to eavesdrop behind the door.
"We will also appreciate if you and Anna spend the night in the villa. You can always use your former room; it was prepared ahead of your visit," Chris' mom says.
"Thank you, Mom. This is where I will say goodnight, as my bride and I need some rest." He takes Anna’s hand, and they head for the room.
*Chris's*
As soon as the doors close behind us, I apologize to Anna for the awkwardness. She wasn’t even given the chance to speak, and I could see the hurt in her eyes. It hurt me to see her like that, and I really want to hug her and apologize.
"I am sorry, Anna, for the moment you just witnessed. It hurt me to see you so silent and holding your breath," I say.
She tells me it is okay and that things happen like that. In that moment, I see her smile, and I move ahead to hug her, but for some reason, I kiss her instead.
She questions me and asks if this is all part of the marriage contract, and I tell her, "It is not. I think I might have actually fallen in love with you, Anna. I love how simple you are, how caring and adventurous you are. I love you, Anna," I say while holding my breath.
As soon as Anna hears these words leave my mouth, she goes in for a kiss while admitting, "I love you. I thought you were a man who didn’t have feelings, but now I see that it is all a façade as this same gorgeous man is a smiling nervous mess in front of me." She says with tears in her eyes.
Our inner wolves connect as Anna tears off my clothes, and I rip her dress. We are hungry for each other as we kiss furiously. She starts to feel my gentle kisses on her skin, and when I push into her, in that moment, we become one. She confesses that I am indeed her Alpha, and slowly my groans fill the room as she starts to catch her breath. I keep pushing into her while she grinds her hips to meet my thrusts.
We start breathing heavily and together as we reach c****x. We kiss once again, but this time with more passion than the last.
Her hot breaths pancake my face as her legs stiffen beside mine. I finished her. She mumbles something but I don't hear or care to hear. I was still trying to catch my breath.
I needed this….more than I thought I did. I know I initiated this but she didn't protest. She didn't push me, instead she pulled me into her. She had called me her Alpha and she admitted she also had feelings for me. I glance at her, her hair nestled in the pillow as she's staring at the ceiling with a tender look on. She's also as shook as I am, but I know it's more of satisfaction. We were both satisfied.
She leans unto my chest as we cling unto each other on the bed. I can feel her heartbeats and I can feel her sweat trinkling down her breasts to my chest. I want to say something but I don't. I snuggle her in more and place a kiss on her head. It hurt me to see her feel not wanted just a while ago because of my parents but now I feel bad because I'm convinced I've started something I shouldn't have.
What, you ask?
Well, I can't really explain it. I just have this feeling something has started and I know she'll be hurt in the process. This makes me curse under my breath but her little shrugs make me stop and breathe out, satisfied, conflicted and guilty.
Something clicks in my head.
I told her I love her. Holy s**t. What was I thinking? What did I just do? I take one look at her and this time my vision gets blurry.
Slowly, I also fall asleep.
