Mating Dilemma Of The Luna

Chapter 3

Hades’ POV

I had no idea that mates and mate connections existed, and I had no idea that meeting someone for the first time would have such a profound effect on me.

After everything this family had done to me, they had the audacity to make me an offer to wed a person? I was so furious and disgusted at them.

Seriously?

I was blaming them for my rage. I smelled something at that point that temporarily knocked me out cold. I wanted to quit yelling at them and begin searching for that scent, but my ego overruled my judgment.

Being restless myself and my wolf, I mind-linked my guards to make sure to bring everyone to life promptly. He was pacing inside of me and trying to break free. It was the first time he was acting in this way, and he had sensed someone.

It took me a moment to restrain my urges as the aroma grew stronger with time. I was in a desperate state. I desired either something or someone.

I only knew that I wanted to see who was responsible for this odor.

I then focused on her with my eyes.

Her flawless physique, long hair, and attractive face could drive anyone insane. She had a sloppy bun with a few curls over her face in her hair. They appear so velvety that I find myself wanting to touch them. Her blue eyes simultaneously conveyed a great deal of innocence. It realized something that should have been realized much earlier than this, the instant our eyes met.

"Mate"

My inner wolf shouted furiously. I wasn't sure how to respond, but it was clear that I was startled beyond what had been said.

The last thing on my mind was looking for my soul mate.

Not to mention that my partner was a frail human.

My wolf defended her, saying, "You can't call her weak without knowing anything about her." My wolf has already developed a love-sick puppy after learning who our mate is, so here it is. Because it causes a lion to act like a kitten, this is why I detest mate bonds.

Additionally, picking a human partner was like falling for a lamb—even though it was a lion.

Oh, dear.

As I kept staring at her, my chest inflated up and down, and my breathing became labored.

I've struggled with trust from the beginning. To keep me informed of everything that was happening there, I had placed one of my spies in the Alpha Maverick's pack. I've never wanted to marry anyone, mate or not, but my aunt suggested that I marry the daughter of another Alpha in order to strengthen my pack as I am one of the pack's alphas. I initially balked, but after she had me pledge her life, I kind of had to marry that foolish she-wolf, Zoe, who turns out to be my mate's younger sister, as I just found out a few moments ago.

Since I didn't think it was vital to meet Zoe given how rude and obnoxious she was, I made it clear in a letter to her that she should not have any expectations from me. I also stated in the letter that although she would receive money and other things, she would not be entitled to my life.

And when my spy told me about today's events in the morning, I lost my cool. Not just because of that idiotic Alpha daughter but also because someone tried to defraud me and my family by harassing the status of our family. Nobody would dare misbehave around Hades Ragnar. I have a reputation to uphold, so my so-called bride fleeing the wedding was still a significant event. Even though I was emotionally relieved to be free of the marriage obligations, I still needed to impart a lesson to this family.

But after recognizing my partner, I abandoned all of my intentions to teach them a lesson.

I discovered her giving me a kind glance.

Well, I had a body to die for, so I didn't blame her, but unlike other girls, she wasn't staring at the ground; instead, she was gazing into my eyes, as if she could see into my mind. I was still perplexed.

I was again astonished to learn that she was this family's elder daughter. I recollect them telling me they had an older daughter, but they never said that she was a person. Furthermore, even if they had, I would not have paid attention because I had no interest in such things. I had never considered the possibility that she might be my mate.

For his sake, my wolf was pleading with me to say "yes" to the wedding, but I didn't want to tell him the truth.

Because I even wanted her to create mine, I was prepared to say yes.

I didn't discuss the marriage with her at that point, but I did agree to it. I was aware that I ought to have spoken to her and questioned her about it, but my ego got in the way, and I did the opposite.

She was definitely drawn to me, so I assumed that she would joyfully agree. She spoke volumes with her eyes, and I am the Alpha Hades Ragnar. I had the good looks, the popularity, and the money that any female would want in a partner. What more could a girl ask for in a partner?

She said no, which was a tremendous shock to me because no girl in her right mind could reject me.

My wolf moaned, believing she had turned us down. She repeated those words despite my repeated requests for confirmation.

She softened when she noticed my pained eyes and that I was in pain.

"How can this girl make me feel so helpless?" Though I'm regarded as one of the toughest Alphas in the world, how come her denial made me unhappy and my wolf whimpered so quickly?

But nobody can reject me.

There is no way I am letting her go, so she must say, "Marry me," whether she wants to or not. Because it bothers me to think about her in someone else's arms,

That's why I threatened her, and I had a sneaking suspicion that it would be effective.

I gave her a 10-minute warning before leaving, but the entire time, I was listening in on their talk.

Princess, you don't have to agree to this marriage by answering "yes." Alpha Maverick declared, "I will bear the price for what Zoe did.

"Oh! Just be quiet!", I overheard Luna Olivia saying. "Alpha Hades will destroy everything you cherish, Lisa, including every memory of your mother that is included in this pack. Do you desire that to occur? Additionally, I'm sorry for all Zoe and I did to you, but would you nonetheless say "yes" to this marriage? Since your father was always there for you whether you wanted him or not, I can accept that he may not have made a good partner for your mother. So now is the time for you to perform your daughterly duties.

"Cat, stop extorting her. Alpha Maverick remarked, "I didn't do anything for her with the anticipation of asking for such a great favor from her. After some time, both of us started fighting like animals.

I could smell the aroma of my mate growing stronger as they continued to argue. It implies that she was moving closer to me.

She said, her face devoid of any expression, "I agree to marry you."

"Are you sure you want to get married?", I inquired once more, unable to believe what I was hearing.

She answered in a quiet voice, "Yes." I nodded, trying to appear normal, but inside, my wolf and I were dancing and jumping with delight. I was appreciating Zoe's escape at the time.

"Great. She didn't wait for me to finish before saying, "I hope," and she then turned around to leave. I grabbed her wrist and pushed her toward me, muttering fiercely, "I hate when someone neglects me and doesn't listen to me."

Even though I knew I was harming her, I was unable to contain my rage when I felt she had abandoned me.

Hades, tsk, tsk, tsk. She screamed and pushed me away with all of her might. "I'm going to be your mate, your equal, not your slave. So better learn to behave properly." And seeing her succeed surprised me.

She was glaring at me while holding back tears that were welling up in her eyes. She attempted to depart again while rubbing her hand.

"Until our wedding, you are not permitted to leave the house."

"Why?"

"What if you flee? How can I trust you to keep your word when your younger sister might turn on me?", I spit in return.

She gritted her teeth and tapped her foot on the ground. She walked inside the home and yelled angrily, "Fine."

You enraged her, my wolf replied in a dejected voice.

I'm powerless to stop He said nothing in response when I said, "I can't trust her, at least not without knowing her.
