It's not fair

Damien is sitting leisurely with his legs spread and one of the arms lazily draped on the back of the couch. He is holding an amber-colored liquid in his other hand. He and his best friends Robert and Patrick meet once in every month to unwind and have a couple of drinks. This was their routine for as long as he could remember. They've been friends since childhood.

Robert and Patrick work for him. They are loyal to Damien and always have his back no matter the situation. 

"That chic is hot" Patrick grinned looking at a woman behind Damien. They were sitting on the first floor VIP section and the ground floor is clearly visible from here. Damien has his back to the glass wall that faces the dance floor.

Patrick is not someone who threws a compliment easily. If he said a certain woman is hot or a certain thing is good, then it would definitely be good. Listening to Patrick's comment, Damien and Robert became curious.

He looked at the woman Patrick pointed and his breath caught in his throat. The woman whom his friend is looking at right now is indeed breathtaking. He never saw a woman who looks as angelic as this one. Unlike another woman, she is not dressed up at all. She is wearing faded jeans and a t-shirt. But still, she is the most beautiful woman in here.

But then, something caught his eye. The pendant around her neck is the symbol of the 'Yoke Family '. It's a simple letter 'Y' with diamonds studded on it. Then a thought popped in his mind'.

"That woman belongs to the Yoke family" he muttered.

"What?" both Robert and Patrick are shocked to hear this news. 

"Are you sure?" Robert asked. 

The women from the yoke family are off-limits to others. They only belong to the Bishops.

"Yes, she is" Damien confirmed.

"Damn, but she doesn't look like a slut. Compared to Rose, she looks innocent. Why don't you marry this one? Rose is a cheater and a gold digger. This one is a better choice than Rose" Patrick asked with a confused expression.

"Let's not forget that Rose has an affair with Jake" Robert chimed in.

Damien clenched his teeth with anger. He himself caught Rose and Jake together in Jake's apartment a couple of years ago. He never had feelings for Rose to begin with. But he had to honor the contract signed by his family. And moreover only a woman from the Yoke family can become a Bishops true wife and bear their young ones. So he decided to give it a try. 

But the moment he saw them together in bed, he began to hate them with a passion. He never liked Jake to begin with, but after that day, he wanted to kill him with his bare hands.

"You know it's not possible. Once a contract is signed, we need solid proof to make it null and void. In this case, I need to prove that she is cheating on me. Do you know how many personal investigators I hired to follow her. But she became smarter. I couldn't gather any solid proof against them" Damien muttered.

But he is determined to gather all the evidence against her and make that contract between their families null and void. No one can make him do what he doesn't want to. Marrying Rose is something he doesn't want. 

Both Robert and Patrick exchanged worried looks. But they couldn't do anything about this. So they decided to let fate take over and play its magic.

To the outside world, Damien is dominant and a force to be reckoned with. But only they know-how he really is. He is not sweet by any means. He is a mean bastard who can kill his opponents easily. He is a good son and a loyal friend. In this world, his ruthlessness is the only thing that instilled fear in their opponents. Let's not forget the raw power vibrating from him in waves. 

He is smart, handsome, rich, and cold. But Rose doesn't deserve him.

Damien became curious about the woman. He turned to look at her in a heated conversation with her friend. Looks like that little angel is stressed about something. With his heightened senses, he concentrated on their conversation, drowning the music and the other noise. 

"Eva, this is crazy. What if he turned out to be a psycho? You are drunk. You are not thinking straight" Cassy said.

Evangeline shook her head.

"No, I know I am drunk. That is what is giving me the courage to do what I am about to do. I have to marry that man. He is a womanizer. You know how he slept his way through half of our classmates. He doesn't deserve my loyalty nor my virginity. I am giving it up to some random guy tonight" she said with determination.

Damien frowned his eyebrows. 

'This one is engaged to someone else? But he seems to be a scum bag ' Damien thought.

When the thought of her spending a night with a stranger came to his mind, something stirred inside him.  

He shook his head and ignored their conversation and turned back towards his friends. It doesn't make any sense that he is feeling possessive over a complete stranger. 

"Holy shit" Robert exclaimed looking behind him.

Damien turned to look at the chaos. That Angel is now standing on the bar counter. Her t-shirt is nowhere to be seen and she is only wearing a bra and her jeans. 

Every man in the pub is looking at her with lust in their eyes. Something close to jealousy and possessiveness stirred in Damien's gut. Before he could think about what he is doing, he walked downstairs with long purposeful strides, until he was standing in front of the bar counter.

He tugged the Angel down by pulling her wrist, and she stumbled into his arms.

"Hey" she protested and tried to squirm out of his hold.

"Quiet," he commanded and she instantly became quiet.

He carried her out of the pub in his arms bridal style and no one stopped him. Everyone can sense that he is an Alpha and they simply submitted without saying a word.

"Stop, she is my friend" he could hear her friend's voice, but he ignored her.

He dropped his beautiful bundle inside the back seat of his car and instructed the driver to take them home. He sat quietly beside her. His driver promptly raised the partition window.

"Hey, it's not fair" his Angel whined.

But he ignored her. She is drunk and it's useless to engage with drunk people.
