Chapter 3 Marry Me

He stops his hand when it is about to touch my thigh, his body leans forward slightly, and the tip of his nose is just about to touch mine.

My heart was about to jump out of my throat!

Is he … going to kiss me?

"Sir!" I shout pushing him away as I quickly stand up from the bed. "Anyway, I want to thank you for sending me to the hospital, but-"

I pause when seeing his smirking eyes, and say with annoyance, "I've seen too many frivolous men like you! If there's nothing else, I shall leave now.."

Ziv doesn't come after me. Instead, he says behind me, "I'll wait for you to change your mind."

I don't answer and quickly ran away.

I come out of the hospital, remembering the way Kelly looked at me when she left yesterday, and still feel worried about her.

I want to check on her.

I run all the way to Kelly's house. These pink sneakers fit me well, so I soon arrived at the destination.

It’s strange. We've only met for the first time, but he knew my shoe size and acted as if he knew me very well.

Who is he?

Panting, I knock on the door of Kelly’s house, only to hear a sharp scream from inside.

"Ah!!

That's Kelly's voice!

I kick the door in.

The living room is in a mess, with broken pots and pans all over the floor, tables and chairs on the wrong side of one another, and babies crying. 

George is holding up a glass to drop on Kelly when I came in and his hand stops in midair.

"What are you doing here? Come to meddle again?!" A fierce expression appears on George's dirty, greasy face, "I'm telling you, you can't bail this bitch out today. She made me lose my money! I'm gonna beat her to death!"

Kelly is huddled on the floor with a pale face, her forehead covered in a cold sweat, and her right leg twists in a strange position, apparently broken!

"George!" I bellow, seething with rage, "You crazy bastard! I'll kill you!"

I rush forward and grab George by the collar, pull him away from Kelly, and then slam him away with force.

George is unprepared. He is slammed into the wall by me with a muffled thud and falls heavily on the floor.

I've been practicing taekwondo since I was a kid, and my strength is much greater than the average omegas, otherwise, it would be impossible to escape from Neil's compulsion over and over again.

George curls up on the floor choking and coughing.

I walk over to him, grab him by his hair and pick up his head, and spit at him.

"Tut! Asshole! The last time a casino security guard spit on you! How come I didn't see you beat him up? You just hit women, right? Pussy!"

George reaches out and tries to grab me, trying to free his head while roaring, "How dare you fucking hit me now-OUCH!"

He screams as I kick him hard in the chest.

"Fuck, if I hit you, I hit you. When do I have to pick a time? !" I slap him hard again, trapping his filthy words in his filthy mouth.

"Violet ......" I am about to slap him again when I hear Kelly calls my name weakly.

She struggles to support herself with her arms and crawls to her feet, pleading, "Don't hit him ......"

She's really crazy!

"He broke your leg! He's an asshole, why are you pleading for him?!" I complain, unable to understand.

"But he's the father of my baby, what will I do if he is dead, what will Mia do?!"

"Wake up!! You and Mia will only be better off without him!"

I am shaking with anger, and just then, I suddenly hear George shouting at the door, "Neil! Get your woman out of here!”

I turn my head to look and find Neil standing in the doorway staring at me with red eyes and hatred.

"Where the fuck have you been this morning?"

I snicker, "Mind your own business first. Where are you EVERY morning?"

By this time Kelly has passed out. I kneel down to check on Kelly's injuries, which are serious and needed immediate medical attention.

I avoid Kelly's injured leg and put her on my back, then pick up Mia, who has been crying, and head for the door.

"What the fuck are you doing? I see you've got a lot of nerve! Not only do you dare to leave home without my permission, but you dare to beat up my dude! Stop right there!" Neil blocks the door.

Neil threatens, "Do you believe that if you take one more step outside, I will reject you, ceasing my mate bound with you? I will kick you out and leave you with no place to live!" 

I stop short and glare at him.

He is still wearing the smelly jacket from yesterday, his hair is very greasy, and his whole body is very unkempt. His eyes are red and haggard, and I could guess, without being told, that he had been gambling all night again.

Neil is a real jerk, just like his fox friend George.

Although he is my mate, I don't want to spend the rest of my life with such a man.

I'd rather live alone! And I believe that if I work hard, I can live well alone.

I stare into his eyes, sneer, and say, "I don't need you to reject me, I'll reject you now, I've had enough of you!"

"You, what did you say?!" Neil is so shocked.

"I said, I'm going to reject you!"

"No way, you-"

"I, Violet Green, swear to the moon goddess that I now reject you, Neil Carter, to be my MATE, and I'm going to break the MATE BOND with you, asshole!"

As the words fall from my mouth, I feel a stabbing pain that quickly spreads throughout my body, making me want to roll on the floor and scream out loud.

But with Kelly on my back and the baby in my arms, I couldn't fall.

I grit my teeth and stood up straight, and in a haze, I see Neil on his knees clutching his heart.

"Ah... it hurts! Why would It hurt? How could it hurt so much? You’re just an Omega!" He screams like mad, then falls to the ground and rolls around holding his head.

He acts as if he was in much more pain than I am.

I look at Neil's distorted face and just find it strange. I used to have a crush on Neil in the beginning, and I had fantasized about starting a family with him after I knew he was my mate. But soon this fantasy was shattered by his behavior.

It’s time to leave this awful man.

I grit my teeth, step away, cross Neil's still-twitching legs, and leave the filthy room.

As I step off the porch, I see a late-model black Ford worth about $40,000 parks beside the lawn.

And Ziv is leaning over the door looking at me.

Then the smell of the rum sweeps over me and my legs go limp.

"Mate! "Grows my Wolf, Veri, weakly but excitedly.

I look at Ziv in shock, never expecting him to be my second chance.

No wonder he acted so strangely to me this morning. Did he feel the mate-bond already?

"I didn't expect you to be so good at fighting. You're tearing the house down." Ziv walks toward me, reaching out to help me, with a heartfelt tone, "Are you ok? Can I do anything for you?"

I hesitate before saying, "Can you take us to the hospital? My friend needs medical attention."

"I will. With a simple request." He murmurs.

"What?"

"Wolfie, remember what I said this morning?"

-I will wait for you to change your mind.

I look up suddenly and gaze into his black pearl-like eyes.

"The request is simple." He murmurs.

"Marry me."
