perfect marriage

chapter two

Jake POV

I Jake Aloysius reject you Violet Blaze as my mate

Violet looked at me in shock as I let those words flow out of my mouth. I was waiting for her to say something but she kept silent. Not the usual Violet.

The meeting ended soon just like I wanted but I still feel empty. My wolf, Zion, was really upset that I let my wolf go but what can I do. I can’t possibly betray her. Emily. I let my train of thoughts wander again as I hit the brake pedal waiting for the traffic light to give the go signal.

FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE

READY OR NOT HERE I COME

Emily finished counting as she sets off to find us. We all hid in various different areas in the forest as we anticipate who Emily is going to find first. No one wanted to be caught so we kept quiet, too quiet that when Emily shouted I caught you it echoed round the forest. I’m always the first to be caught Thomas said as he came out from the back of the tree he was hiding at. You always choose the wrong places to hide and you ask why Emily said with a chuckle. Since I’ve been caught I’ll make sure you are all caught as well Thomas said as he scrabbled around the forest looking for the remaining of us, Emily joined as well. Emily I’ve found Kimberly, Thomas said as he removed huge leaves covering Kimberly. Kimberly came out and joined the search and soon we were all found. Laughter filled the air as we argued on whose hiding place the best was. We never got our answer because none of us will ever give in, including Thomas the worst hider.

Food is ready we heard our parents say and we all ran out to the outskirts of the forest where our pack locates. Hide and seek; our go to game. I had so much fun today.

The honking of different cars brings me back to the present as I saw the once red light now green; another trip downs the memory lane. I ignite my car engine and set off to the only destination I could think of, the club. I entered the club without the bouncers needing to confirm my identity, I’m the alpha’s son; no one dares discomfort me. I began downing the strongest alcohol as memories of our childhood haunts me down. Violet always does this to me, reminds me of the past. Different women keep making advances towards me but I’m in no mood to entertain any of them right now. There is no way I'm going to betray her. I'm going to wait for as long as I think I can hold on. She’s dead; but I'm not going to believe any of that s**t. Emily is alive somewhere, I know that. F**k that dam mating bond. I'm going to choose my mate myself regardless of whomever the moon goddess choses.

I woke up with a serious hangover; I could swear I saw stars. I saw a cup of honey tea on the bed side table. Alicia always knows what I want. She was our family butler. I freshened up and went to the dining room for breakfast. “You are going to have to marry violet”. I expected those words from my father but I didn’t expect he would do this at breakfast. This is not the first time we are having this conversation. Our parents are close friends and business partners so I guessed as much. But as long as I can I’ll stop it for as long as I can until I can find Emily. The marriage I mean.
