Reborn; Contract Marriage With The Dark Alpha King

Please marry me

Gianna POV

Mom opened the door to the room and came in with Quinn just when I was thinking of escaping. Quinn looks like she had just recently applied a lip gloss to her lips; her hair was slightly rough, and the scent of my mate was wrapped around her even though she tried to hide it. Before in the past, I had ignored it even though I knew there was only one reason she was like this: Quinn just had s*x with my mate, the woman my husband wanted to divorce me for, the woman he strangles me for was Quinn.

"Gianna, you look so beautiful." I cut Quinn off by giving her a hard slap on her cheek. She stared at me with wide, fearful eyes, shock written all over her face. Never before had I dared to raise my hands against her; she was my parents favorite child, practically their only child, because they treated me as though I was a stranger. The only way I could get some affection from my parents was through Quinn. Being good to her earns me some love points from my parents, taking the blame for something she did wrong and always making it look as though it was my fault.

I slapped Quinn again, this time harder than the first. She had done so many horrible things to me, but among all, the one that hurt me the most was my baby. She killed my baby! The first slap was for poisoning my unborn baby; the second slap was for making Alpha Nathan strangle me to death.

Quinn held her cheek that was now red; she distanced herself from me and went to Mom, acting like the mama's girl she had always prided herself on being. Tears filled her eyes as Mom hugged her in comfort.

"Gianna! What is wrong with you?!" Mom shouted, "How dare you raise your hand against my daughter?"

I'm also your daughter too. I thought bitterly.

"Apologize to Quinn!" Mom ordered.

"Tell that precious daughter of yours to apologize to me." My voice was rude; I held my ground, refusing to back off. Quinn and Mom were taken aback; never before had I spoken to Mom in such a manner before.

Mom tried to slap me; I held her hand. She didn't look like she was trying to slap me because of how rudely I spoke to her; rather, it was because I slapped Quinn. She was trying to give Quinn the satisfaction of seeing the same pain I gave her inflicted on me. I'm not going to let that happen.

"Quinn smells like my mate." I said to Mom, trying to expose Quinn for who she truly was. It wasn't that Quinn didn't know that I was going to know, but she was sure that I wouldn't dare confront her. In the past I didn't confront her, but I'm not reliving my past life again.

Mom focused her werewolf senses on Quinn; her eyes widened in surprise when she noticed that I was right, but she still couldn't believe it.

"Alpha Nathan helped me when I almost fell down the staircase; that is all." Quinn lied nervously as she gave Mom an innocent look.

"How could you have slapped your sister for such a stupid reason? Even if you were to ever doubt anyone, Gianna, why would you easily doubt your sister?"

I rolled my eyes and sighed as I listened to my mother, "I don't have time for this." I left the room, ignoring my mom as she called after me; luckily for me, she didn't bother to follow me. My major problem at the moment is stopping this wedding; I can't make the same mistake of marrying alpha Nathan again.

"Gianna!" My father's loud voice froze me; a fearful goosebump moved across my skin as I turned to him, wondering if my mother had reported to him on my misbehavior along with what I did to his favorite daughter. I didn't want to be afraid of my dad, but being afraid of him has become a habit for me, one that isn't going to be easy to get rid of.

"Where are you going?" Dad asked. He was the former beta of the Silvernight pack. He retired from his post after Alpha Nathan Dad also retired; although my dad was retired, he was still highly respected by all the pack members.

"The guests are here, and Alpha Nathan is already waiting for you at the wedding hall." My dad paused and looked around me, "Where's your mom?" He mumbled to himself, "She's the one who's supposed to take you to the hall, but she must be with Quinn."

He didn't even sound angry at the possibility of Mom ditching me on my wedding day.

"Come on, we can't waste any more time and keep Alpha Nathan waiting." Dad said in a cold tone, like Mom, he was only affectionate to his favorite daughter.

I sighted Alpha Nathan as I was about to step into the wedding hall, seeing him in the same suit, looking dashing just like he did the first time we got married. I was so head over heels for him that I refused to believe that he had s*x with my sister on our wedding day. I allowed my love and affection for him to blind me back then, but not again.

"Congratulations, Gianna." I ignored the guest speaking to me and ran away; it was one of my pack members, but I didn't care if I was rude; if I wasn't Alpha Nathan's mate, they would all ignore me. Even though I was the elder daughter of the former beta, Talon Benton, I was no one special in their eyes, unlike my adopted younger sister.

"Gianna?!" my dad called behind me in an angry tone.

My heart sank when I saw that Alpha Nathan was chasing after me. I can't let this wedding happen at the same time; I didn't have the power to stop it. If I told Alpha Nathan to his face that I didn't want to get married to him, he could lock me up in jail and turn me into the pack slave. If he was capable of strangling me to death before in the past, he could very much do it again.

"Ouch," I grumbled out as my head slammed into something hard, a man's chest. My eyes widened as I looked up at the man in front of me, Alpha Axel. In my past life, he was seen as a beast, an alpha who was feared by many because of how dark and twisted he was.

Alpha Axel had a small frown on his lips as he waited for me to apologize. When he saw that all I was going to do was stare at him, he attempted to walk away. but I stop him because of the crazy idea that is forming in my head: this man was dangerous, but he was strong and influential enough to help me escape Alpha Nathan.

'Please marry me.' I mouthed out my words slowly to him, then, without giving him the chance to refuse, I kissed him.
