Chapter 4

Jennifer rushed out of the room and went to the living room.

Everyone heard her scream. Alpha Mark came out of his room and saw Jennifer full of sweat.

“What happened to you?!”

Jennifer sobbed without replying. She pointed her finger towards the side where Raymond’s room was.

“What do you want to say?”

“H-He opened his eyes.”

“WHAT?”

Alpha Mark’s eyes widened. He called the pack doctor immediately.

The pack doctor Robin came to the pack house hurriedly.

“Alpha, did you say he woke up?” Robin asked Alpha Mark.

“The girl saw him opening his eyes, but when I went to see him, his eyes were closed. He is still the same.” Alpha Mark replied.

Jennifer lowered her head. She did not lie; he indeed opened his eyes. She could still feel how his dark eyes pierced into her eyes.

Jennifer felt a shiver all over her body just thinking about that again.

Pack doctor Robin went to check on Raymond. After a few minutes, he came out and said,

“This is normal and does not mean Raymond has awakened.”

By the time the doctor departed, it was already nighttime.

Jennifer had dinner alone in a room and took a rest. She bandaged wounds on her legs and decided to sleep in that room after taking a shower. She did not want to go to Raymond’s room now. She was afraid after what had happened.

A maid came into the room and told her, “Alpha Mark asked for you. He is in his office room. Follow me. I will take you there.”

Jennifer went with the maid to the Alpha’s office.

The maid knocked on the door, and they heard, “Come in”.

Jennifer entered the office, and the maid left from there.

“Come and sit here’” Alpha Mark said to Jennifer. She walked to the desk and sat opposite him.

“What is your name?”

“Jennifer,” she answered.

“How about your age.”

“I’m twenty years old.”

Alpha Mark nodded and gave her a folder. But then he took it back.

“I forgot that you are not educated,” he said. But as soon as Jennifer was about to say something, he spoke out again.

“This is the marriage agreement and approval as a member of the Blood Stone pack. You have to sign it.”

He placed the papers on the desk and pointed his finger to the bottom left of the papers.

Jennifer looked at the papers. She could not get the chance to tell him that she was not illiterate. But she read those papers with a glance.

It was stated that she agreed to be Alpha Raymond’s wife. Her eyes paused at the name ‘Alpha Raymond’. He was twenty-six years old.

Jennifer was stunned that Raymond became an effective name in the werewolf world at such a young age.

She focused on other clauses. It remarked that she could not break the marriage bond no matter what. She had no say in this marriage. Only Alpha Raymond could break the agreement.

Additionally, she was now one of the respective members of the Blood Stone pack.

The word ‘respective’ grabbed all her attention, and she did not think about the other things she had just read.

She took the pen and signed the papers.

Alpha Mark smiled at her.

“Congratulations! You are a married woman now.”

Jennifer nodded her head and stood up.

“Don’t forget what I said to you in Raymond’s room. You have to work for it. That was the main reason why I decided to take a bride for my son.”

Jennifer nodded again and left the office. She did not want to talk about those matters to anyone.

She did not know if it was even possible for her.

However, Raymond was her husband now. She had to accept him no matter what.

She returned to the room where she had been. She saw a few maids standing outside the room.

“You can not stay here.”

“What do you mean?”

“You are now Alpha Raymond’s wife, so you have to stay in his room. We have set up things for you in that room. You don’t have to wear old clothes. Alpha Mark told us to arrange new clothes for you. So everything that you need is in Alpha Raymond’s room.”

Jennifer sighed when she heard the maid. She nodded and headed to Raymond’s room.

‘What will happen? He is a vegetative man. Though he opens his eyes, he can not do anything to me. So it’s okay if I sleep in that room,’ She thought.

Jennifer opened the door and was stricken dumb. The whole room was decorated as if it was a newlywed’s first night. So many roses and scented candles were here and there. There was no bright light but only a few dim lights.

Jennifer closed the door. She looked around and smiled sadly.

“I have never seen these kinds of beautiful decorations before. I became a married woman! Isn’t it funny?” She murmured.

She looked at Raymond. She found his condition close to hers. They both were in a situation where they could not get out of it. Both were caged and could not get rid of their situations.

Jennifer went to the closet. She wanted to take a shower and sleep.

But the whole closet was full of expensive clothes and lingeries.

“What the hell!”

She could not believe how foolish the maids were. Why did they put these in her closet?

She tried to find nightwear. She got a few pajamas which were very revealing clothes.

She sighed and took out one.

“It’s okay, Jennifer. He can not wake up to see you in these night dresses. So don’t worry. You can sleep and then change in the morning.” She said, patting her heart. She took a shower and went out of the bathroom.

She sat on the couch and rubbed her hair with a towel. She glanced at the coffee table.

A beautiful and well-decorated jar was placed on the table, and a glass was beside the jar. She poured the glass of water and chugged it down.

After a few minutes, she felt thirsty again. So she drank another glass of water.

Suddenly she started to feel hot.

‘Is it because of the candles? Should I blow them one by one?’

She blew out the candles and felt a little dizzy. The last candle was on the nightstand on the opposite side of where Raymond was lying.

Jennifer was going to blow it but stopped and sat down on the bed.

She was still feeling hot after blowing out the other candles. She unknowingly put off her clothes one by one to reduce the feeling of hotness.

She glanced at Raymond.

“You are not sweating, then why am I the only one feeling this heat?”

She went close to him slowly to look at him. Surprisingly, she felt better when she moved closer.

She cupped his face and laughed.

“You are so good-looking! Who said you are ruthless? You look harmless to me.”

She caressed his lips with her thumbs. Then she pressed her lips over them.

She had never done it before, not even with her boyfriend, who cheated on her.

Her hands moved down to his chest, and she realized that he was shirtless.

She did not know what happened to her or where she got the courage to take these steps.

She climbed on him and kissed his neck.

However, she felt a hand wrapped around her waist. She gasped loudly and tried to move, but the grip became tightened.

As if she had come back to her sanity, she lifted her head to look at Raymond.

Her delicate eyes met his dark eyes. Those eyes could kill anyone with just a glance.

Jennifer came back to her senses and was about to scream. But he pressed his hand over her mouth and asked,

“Are you my bride?”
