Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha Prince Seeks Human Mate: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

We drive through the pack with Archie and I just stay silent as he's giving pointers to Leo. I'm too distracted by how fucking hot Leo looks right now. He’s not wearing a full extreme formal suit like Archie, but he still looks very, very nice. Very nice. There's a lot of people crowding the streets, so it takes us a while to get to where we have to go, but the closer we get, the more nervous I get. Leo is not nervous, though, he just looks extremely annoyed. "I'm really happy you're here with me," he whispers as we're getting escorted to the little stage prepared for him, "I hate this." "I hate it, too," I admit, but I get on my tiptoes so I can kiss him. Leo grabs my face and deepens the kiss more than I had planned, "We're in this awful mess together, let's just get it over with." "Yeah," he gives me a smile, then he grabs my hand to lead me out in front of everyone, "Hi, everyone!" There's a lot of cheering, a lot of people talking to him as if they're his friends an

For the next stop, I have to ask around for my mom since she's not in her room as she should at this hour. So, I have to get out of the house and run into the greenhouse my mom adores, with all her little flowers. As soon as she sees me coming in, she smiles. "Hi, mommy," I say. Instantly, her smile drops and she squints her eyes at me, "Yeah, I want something." "What is it, Birdie?" she sighs, putting her flower scissors down to give me her uninterrupted attention without me even having to ask for it like I did with my brothers. "I have a plan that can make all three Garibaldi boys very happy. All of us," I say, she crosses her arms and says nothing as I try to let the words out. It takes me while because I'm nervous, but I tell her anyway. Starting with the fake death, ending with the annual family trip, "There's so many human places you'd love, mom, I want you to see them." "If I wanted to, I would've already," she says, but she stays quiet about the other part, "I don't lik

This is awful, I never, ever want to see it again. But everyone else around us is absolutely loving it, those fucking barbarians are cheering for their favorite like this is just a sport or something. I decide to keep my eyes shut for around ten more minutes, and then there's a huge collective gasp of horror. I open my eyes then and I see Jace shifting back to human -fully naked- to grab Leo's wolf form... his lifeless wolf form. "Jolene, what is-?" that's the last thing I hear. I feel everything going dark. When I wake up, there's chaos around me, my face is wet and Magda in my face. "She's okay now, let's go," she says and grabs me, basically carrying me away. I passed out I guess, "They're taking Leo to an ambulance, he's alive." "Everything is fine, Jolene, relax. It was all for show," Archie whispers in my ear and that brings a little life back to me. Right. Of course it was all for show, that was the whole point of it. I guess I just freaked out at the worst moment

Jace didn't come back to the table after that final statement from moi, but Archie did. We drafted a contract as planned and I signed it. Archie promised me he would get Jace to sign it as well, so I left with my head held high. "What happened there?" My father asked on the way back home, "I know something did." "I had a conversation with the guys on my way back from the bathroom... the Garibaldi family is a very intriguing bunch, daddy. King Archibaldo is very smart and capable and Alpha Jacinto is just as intriguing as he is strong. I'm very excited to marry into this family," I admitted, looking out the window, trying not to focus on Jace's rejection too much. But only because of that comment I made on the way back, my father never gave up on the Garibaldi Pack. Not even when everything changed. When the omega Garibaldi brother turned out to be a True Alpha at the most random age, in the most random way. That only got my dad even more excited to marry me into that family.

What? I just look at Beatrice for around half a minute, trying to understand if she's being serious or not. She just crosses her arms and looks at me with her big blue eyes, waiting for an answer. If we are being serious, the truth is that even I don't have that answer for myself. I don't know why she generates so many feelings in me, so much rejection… But I don't want to be serious with her. Why? I simply don’t feel like it. So I’ll give her the simplified, assholish answer. "Because you're weird," I say, opening my arms in surrender. I can tell she wasn't expecting that because she takes a literal step back, "You're very weird, and you're practically harassing me right now. I don't like being forced to do anything, but you looked me in the face and took a stance against me that first day we met, when you told me I would marry you even if I didn’t want it. In my opinion, that was a declaration of war. I don't like you because you're a fucking princess who has no business bein
