I opened my eyes slowly as I sat up, all over my body was in pain, I had a headache as if the whole world was lifted on top of my head, I rubbed my eyes using the back of my palm, I looked around and I discovered that I was in an unfamiliar place, it looks more like a room. "What happened last night?" I muttered. I remember well that I was drinking and then — I don't even remember what happened again,
"You finally woke up, I thought I would have to wait for hours before you do" A young man, leaning on the bathroom door frame, said. He walked up to me and sat on the bed, "Why do you look surprised?" He asked.
"What are you doing here? Who are you? How did…"It was then I noticed I was naked, Wait! Did I just have something with this man? "Did you r**e me?!" I yelled, using the duvet to cover my body. "How could you do that to someone you don't know? I…Are you even a human?"
"No, I'm not" He answered. "r**e you? I didn't r**e you, You did that to me instead, you should try remembering all that happened last night before you blame me for what I didn't do" He replied. He didn't r**e me but I did? What the hell is he talking about? He should find a better excuse than to— ' I've never been so sure of what I wanted than I am now' My voice came. The scene of what happened last night came back to my mind as a flashback. How he saved me, then tried to take care of me and then I held him from leaving and "Ahhhh!" I yelled.
"I guess you've remembered," He said. "How about I sue you for taking advantage of me?"
"I was drunk and you were in your right state of mind, You should have stopped me no matter what, You are a man, you shouldn't have allowed me to ride you!" I yelled the more.
"That's right! I am a man and point of correction, you didn't ride me. I am a man like you said, and you don't expect me to turn away when you willingly offered yourself to me, I was only helping you, and I also helped by satisfying your s****l urge" He shifted close to me, held my jaw with his right hand, I looked at him deep, his eyes were as blue as that of the ocean, they were glittering, he was handsome as f**k, his huge body and everything, I guess this was why I couldn't stop myself yesterday, He was a temptation. "You should get dressed, love, someone will be in here soon," He said and left the room.
I walked into the bathroom, took my bath, and came out. I wore the neat clothes that were arranged for me on the bed and just immediately, He walked inside again, "Don't you know how to knock?" I asked
"I work with time. You should learn how to talk to me, I'm not some random guy you could talk to anyhow, and I'm not nice" He warned. I felt shivers down my spine, his voice and expression when he was serious, was different from what he had earlier. This guy is a completely different person depending on his mood. This was the first impression I could tell about him.
The door opened, and a man in a black suit walked in, "Good morning, Alpha Sabastian" He greeted with a bow. Alpha! Sabastian! He is an Alpha? He is a werewolf? How did I end up in this mess?
"It's not a mess of love, it's something you should be grateful for," He said to me. Well, it isn't surprising that he could read my mind, All alpha does. "You can go, I'll call you in when I need your attention," He said to the young man, who left immediately. "I'm not the kind of man that runs away from their responsibility, I had a one-night stand with you, I'll take responsibility for that" He handed over some papers to me.
"What's this?" I asked, timidly.
"You have eyes and you can read"
"Marriage contract!" I yelled. "Why would I have a marriage contract with you?"
"Because I just had something with you, it's not like you are the first person I'm having it with, But you are the first virgin, Who knows, you might get pregnant with my child and that would not be good for the both of us, So I want you to be under my care, I mean, Get married to me, but a contract marriage" He explained.
"I'm sorry, but with all due respect, I can't do this. I can't get into a marriage with someone I don't know, you are not even my mate, I can't do it" I replied. My marriage was ruined yesterday. Why would I trust a random guy who claims to be an Alpha? "He is an Alpha" My wolf popped in. "I don't care!"
"You can use this moment to know about me, There isn't much you have to know though, I have many secrets and I only say the ones I want people to know, But I'm giving you the opportunity to ask as many questions you want to"
I scoffed. "Who are you to order me? I have no questions for you, all I want is to leave here right now, Don't you understand? I don't want any marriage with you, I don't want to have anything with you. It's already a mistake that we had something intimate last night, so let's keep it as a mistake, let's pretend that nothing happened between us" I pleaded.
"Something did happen, there is no way I would pretend like it did not" He answered.
"This is frustrating," I muttered. My hands went to my neck and I felt a sharp pain, making me hiss slightly, I rushed to the mirror, a shart Mark was on my neck, I looked at him, "Did you leave this mating Mark?"
*******
"Do you even know the implication of mating me when I am not your mate? For goodness sake, I have a mate, and… What do you all derive in making me cry?" I asked, as tears flowed down my eyes to my cheeks, I cleaned it immediately not wanting him to see that I was crying. I sighed, " Like I said, I'm not going to get married to you" I walked to the door, but it locked before I could grab it. "Let me go!' I yelled.
He dragged me, held me on my waist, and pulled me close to himself, "Won't you love to listen to the condition and what I have to offer in exchange for this contract?" He asked. Should I care about that? There's nothing else, Just like he said, he wants to monitor me just to see if I would get pregnant for him, His aim is to take the baby, if eventually I get pregnant, and then throw me back to the streets. "Do I look irresponsible? I'm not like your mate, love, don't judge me the way you judge him"
"What do you know about my mate? What do you know about me? You know nothing, so don't act like you know everything, I'm a stranger to you, Treat me like one!"
"You aren't a stranger, You stopped being a stranger to me when we had s*x last night. What do I know about you? Would you like to sit and listen? Natasha Craig" He called my name, sitting down on the bed. How did he know my name? Did I mistakenly spill out my name when I was drunk last night? I won't be foolish to say it, "You were ridiculed on the day of your wedding, your mate is the head of your pack right? The red moon pack, And you were even banished, you have a terrible sorry that I feel pity for you"
I looked at him surprised at how he even knew about that. Shouldn't he explain how he came to know about that? So what? Why should I be worried that he knows about it? My life is not important and I don't care what anyone thinks about me, I own my life and I have the right to agree or not to what I want to do, And that includes not getting married to the strange man sitting in front of me, I won't get married to him no matter what he does.
"I don't want to know how you knew about me and what happened to me yesterday, I want to leave, please can you let me go?" I pleaded.
"Are you just going to run away? They accused you of something you didn't do, and your best friend made fun of you. Would you just run away and do nothing? Do you still have to be timid and fragile even at the point of your downfall? Can't you stand up and do something for yourself?" He kept asking questions. Why is his words hurting me the most? Tears clouded my eyes. He stood up in front of me, "An opportunity finally finds its way to you. Aren't you going to grab it and make everyone repay you for what they did to you? Do you have to suffer until you die?"
"How do you know I'm innocent? You weren't even there when it all happened? What opportunity are you talking about? To get married to you and show everyone that I married an Alpha? Is that it?" I questioned.
"Someone as fragile as you would never be still, you don't even have the mind to do it, So why won't I believe you didn't do it? I'll help you take revenge on all those who made you suffer, I don't mind you using my title to get what you want, Just get married to be, Be my Luna for three years, by then you and I will both get what we want and our contact would be terminated, Is that too much to ask and do?" He yelled.
I gulped down nothing and breathed out for air, I was suffocating inside, and I needed to make a decision immediately. Honestly, I really would want to make both Bianca and Lord Kelvin suffer, I want to show them that I can survive without them, But I can't do it alone, I really need the help of the young man standing in front of me. What if I regret my decision in the future? What if I get punished because I got married to someone who is my mate?
"You aren't my mate, and I'm sure you have a mate somewhere out there. What if our plan someday messes up because of our mistake now?" I asked.
"I'll take care of that myself, all you have to do is play the role of my wife, and I'll take revenge for you and also make your life worth living, don't worry about anything, and I’ll just sign the contract" He assured me.
"Can I add my own opinion to this contract? I'll just say it with my mouth, We don't get to sleep in the same room, and we must not be sexually contacted, we shouldn't pry into each other's business, you live your life and I live mine, all I have to do is just live as your wife and that I would do, if you agree, I'll sign the contract immediately and we can head out" I said.
"Once we are married we would have to live together in one room, But I'll try to create some space for two beds in my room. It's a paradise so I'm sure it would definitely contain it. Apart from that, I accept all your conditions. Just sign the contract, I'm running out of time, we need to get prepared"
"Get prepared? For what? Do you have something to do? I asked, curiously.
"No! Get prepared for the wedding. We are getting married tomorrow, in my pack, The Killian pack"
