Chapter 3

Annabelle

"Marry me , "his rich deep voice startles me from my hospital bed.

I look at him in shock. I was not expecting this to happen . He folds his tattooed arms across his chest and looks at me with his dark green eyes in expectancy. This is not something that I wanted right now considering the fact that I'm in a hospital bed.Any other deal would be better but I'm not going to marry a beast in disguise.

"Excuse me , "I answer back in shock as I look at him with widened eyes.

I finger the cold engagement ring on my other hand . Alot of thought went into this. Why would he want to marry me now ? I look at the man in front of me and he stares back at me with a patient face.He seriously thinks that we should marry . Hell no! He was there when my brother . He killed my brother and my father had a stroke through stroke . Everything is just so messed up and he wants to marry me .

"I can't marry you I'm sorry , "I shake my head slowly.

"you were willing to get married to someone you didn't love Anna and I think we all know why , "he answers.

"You have the nerve to tell me that when you are the one that killed my brother , "I hiss as I try to get up from my position.

"I did not kill your brother , "he cocks his head and left a his eyebrow in shock.

"You were the last person that saw him when he got burnt in that house. You killed my brother and now -"

"You need your pack to flourish and stabilize without a proper alpha to form alliances with. You are as good as dead and I don't think refusing this good offer is your option at that moment, "

"I don't want to get married to you Jason , "I drawl out his name

The drop dead gorgeous and hot as Hades man standing in front of me in the hospital is a beast ! The man who killed my brother .I keep on saying this so many times in my head because I don't want to marry him . The man who I trusted with my whole life when we were kids . Now he is so different . He is covered in tattoos with a dark look and a chisled jaw and a smooth face that any woman can die for. I can't seem to get over the fact that he is here and alive with so much power that I can't fathom .

"I don't want to get married to someone who ran me over on my wedding day , "I fold my arms on defiance .

"you were coming out from a motel , "he raises his left eyebrow.

"it doesn't matter , "I answer back with a stubborn.

So what? I had a tip about Ben's location and immediately followed the address until I discovered that he was sleeping with my cousin Sloane . I couldn't even breathe when I saw them in the sheets . I immediately ran out of the motel in shock . I got ran over by Jason and now we here are... In a hospital bed and Jason proposing marriage to me. If some one was to narrate all this to me in the past . I would laugh at them... Loudly!

"it matters because you can't get married to someone who betrayed you, " he answers back as he quirks his eyebrow.

"you betrayed me too, "I fold my arms tightly with anger dripping in my tone.

"you have no proof of that and name any wolf that can marry you right away while handling your shitty pack, "he looks at me with a deadly calm look.

I shift uncomfortably in my bed and think about the way things have turned out .At this point I don't think I have a choice in any of this . I always dreamt of having a mate and getting married with beautiful pups and raising them peacefully but now I'm in a hospital bed facing my worst nightmare with a good proposal that could change my entire life and pack. I should just take it .

"it will only take a few people to know that you are wolfless Annabellle ,"he warns me as he faces me

"How do you -"

" It will be a only a few years until you give me a heir and your pack will be back to it's feet and you can go on your life , "he continues talking and I'm left stunned by his cockiness and domineering energy .

I fold my hands as I think about the pros and cons of the situation . I don't know what I should do in this situation. The only thing I can do is just accept his proposal and when we get our ends of the deal . I'm going to get out of this awful marriage that hasn't even begun yet.

But then I need to give him a pup! A heir . The thought of having sex and stripping off for Jason gives me goosebumps and makes my skin shiver . Will I able to see my child again after this? Confusion clouds my judgement as I think about my decision. But at the end of the day , my current situation overrides my emotion.

"I accept, "I whisper reluctantly .

"Good , "he answers in a monotone voice, "my lawyer will prepare a contract and we are going to get married today, "

"Today ? "I frown as I look at my hospital gown . My face falters immediately at the word 'Today'

"Yes today , "he quirks his eyebrows . Do you have a problem with that? "

"Yes ! "I shout.

"Oh you do , "he smirks, "I guess the wedding is cancelled and our deal is not going through then, "

"No , "I splutter and he looks at me with an amused look.

"no , "I shake my head weakly, "I don't have a problem with that."

Of course I have a problem with that! My sister isn't even here yet and I'm getting married to someone else .This is too much for me to handle. My sister will flip when she finds out that I'm getting married to Jason . My mother too!

"As soon as the doctor gives the go ahead of your discharge within two hours , we are getting married understood , "he speaks as he looks at his watch with a serious face.

"Understood , "I answer back with a curt nod

"I will talk to my beta and we I'll have you prepared for the ceremony, "he responds

"Okay , "I whisper.

I watch him turn his back on me and leave without saying goodbye. I release the long breath that I have been holding for a long time. It's may feel like relief but I have made the biggest mistake of my life .
