We are getting married today

Hela

His last words still echoed in my head and i could not help but laughed out loud, cause who the fuck does think he is, talking about “you are mine” like i am some property to be let for lease.

The more I look at him, the more I get the urge to wipe off that smug look off his handsome face. Don’t judge me, i may be angry but i know a fine man when i see one and he is one. I could not help but give him a once over again and i think he noticed cause once i met his eyes, they told me he knew. Slightly embarrassed from being caught, I looked away while feeling some tingles in my lower abdomen which was weird. I should not be getting any other feelings from this man apart from anger and dislike.

I massage my temples as I can feel a migraine starting to form as I quickly remembered the situation at hand all because of him and the condescending manner in which he talks. I could feel myself starting to boil with annoyance but my twin presence behind me calms my anger down although I still feel agitated.

Looking into his hazel eyes, I try to read him and his thoughts but it seems quite impossible due to the cold demeanor he gives off. If what he said about me being his is true then, that will mean that this is my soon to be husband, but i needed to be very sure if he actually is the one. If he is the one, the big question in the room that is yet to be answered would be why he is here today?.

“And what makes you think that i want to be yours?'' I questioned, heading towards the direction where my parents were standing, cause I wanted answers and I feel like my father would be the best candidate for that but that is after i hear what he has to say.

I was some steps away from my parents when i noticed that my brother wasn’t exactly following me behind like i thought he would, instead i caught him staring at the man standing close to Eros and i just noticed that i really did not pay him much attention because if i had, i would have noticed that his figure and looks screamed my brother’s type.

No wonder he is staring, but I am getting a feeling that this is more than that because my brother is not the only one lost in a trance. The man who seems to bear a slight resemblance to Eros is also staring back with an emotion I could not really put a name to clouding his ruggedly handsome face.

Eros seems to notice as he reaches to tap his brother the same moment I decide to call mine.

“Rahil.”

He looks at me and started walking towards my direction while shaking his head as if to clear off his thoughts and all I could think of was how weird that was but I did not put too much meaning into it.

As he got to where my parents and our parents were standing, I turned to the man I asked a question, clocking my head sideways to let him know that I was waiting for his reply.

He looked at me and sighed, then he looked to the man beside him giving him a look that said "she is being serious right now”. Then responding in a condescending tone that only served to infuriate me further, he retorted,

“Oh, come on now. I know you are not that daft that you did not get my statement and I am pretty sure you are not also not deaf either. When I explicitly said that you are mine, it should have dawned already what I mean to you. Unless daddy dearest also failed to inform you properly on that matter.”

“Aaarrgh.” I screamed in frustration as he seemed impossible to deal with. His words felt like an insult and a slap to my face and that only stoked up the flames of my anger. Looking at him, I noticed that he was smirking and I lost it.

“You are smirking?Does this look funny to you?Does giving sarcastic replies and riling me up please you that much, huh? Does it?. I was shaking with so much fury, I have never been this riled by a person’s character in my whole life. I felt my claws digging into my palms, itching to be unleashed. I was not really expecting him to give me a reply to my question but his answer was to be expected which did nothing but increase the temptation of leaving a scar on his arrogant face.

“As a matter of fact, I think I enjoy riling you up. I enjoy the emotions I bring out of you.” he all but smiled like he had achieved something.

I was this close to leaping and doing as I had planned, but my mom and brother held me back, noticing that the patience I had towards the man I was suspecting to be my so-called husband had waned out.

“Don’t.” my brother whispered in my ears as my mom patted my back, both of them trying to calm me down.

“Don’t give in to his antics, he just going to derived more pleasure from that. Just take a deep breath and calm down.” he said in a soothing tone that made my anger dissolved and a wave of sadness washed over me making me vulnerable than i intended to be.

I turned to my twin with eyes slowly getting clouded with tears as my mind throwed images of how my future might look if I decided to go ahead with this marriage after witnessing this display of shitty character. A marriage where there is no love or probably respect and also the consequences if I go against the marriage. I tried to speak but he shakes head telling me not to, seeming to understand my pain.

His eyes spoke to me more than any words would ever do right now and gave me comfort even with our parents being here. Bringing our foreheads together, he whispered,

“I will always be here for you, now and forever. So calm down and let me try talking to him, okay.” he looked directly in my eyes and all i could do was nod in response as words seemed to fail me.

Clearing his throat to clear the tense air, he spoke in a calm and polite manner,

“My sister asked a question some minutes ago but I would like to rephrase it.”

“Go on.” the man said

“What are you to my sister to make you call her yours and what are you and the buff man behind you doing in our packhouse?”

The man behind Eros snickered at the choice of description given towards him but my brother did not let that affect him as he waited for a response. But to our dismay, we were met with the same dismissive response.

He simply nodded his head in the direction of our father, as if to say, “go ask him for answers.” frustration welled up within the both of us and i guess it did in our mother too cause we three turned to him, demanding an explanation for this bewildering situation.

He seemed to have gotten over his shock because with all seriousness written all over his face, he stretched out his hands towards mine as if to offer comfort for the heartbreak which his statement was going to give me.

“Hela dear, that man standing over there in a royal regalia whose name is Eros Rain Vasilios is indeed your husband to be and the man beside him is his brother Atlas Storm Vasilios. The one who accompanies__”

“Well that information is sufficient enough to let you know what i mean to you, and i would like us to answer the big question in the room that is yet to be answered, which is why i am here?”

The disrespect of this man is so aggravating and I think he needs to be taught manners royalty or not cause it looks like he lacked some of it while growing up. But my fathers confirmation only deepened the mystery surrounding his early arrival

We all gave him our attention, silently demanding an explanation. The tension that filled the air was palpable as we awaited his response.

“We all know the purpose of this marriage and as such, i feel it is quite unnecessary to inform anyone or member of your pack about it as it is to be short and simple, not anything extravagant and over the top.”

I could feel my heart drop to my stomach as he uttered his next line of words.

“So coming to a conclusion of that, i decided that the wedding will be held today.
