Bride Of The Shadowed Alpha
"When we are already betrothed to each other? You are supposed to be my wife. You have been my wife since we were children."
"Says who exactly? Says you?" Dika asked, her voice rising with anger. "Look, Ruben, it was only you who has it stuck inside your thick head that I am your wife. Did I not beat your ass badly when I told you very clearly that I am not going to end up with you? And you got so angry that you challenged me to a physical duel in front of everyone, which I won fairly." Dika paused and returned her gaze to look at Vyrelen with warmth in her eyes. "And this whole situation with Ruben happened before our paths ever crossed and I met you, Vyrelen." She added that clarification, and when Vyrelen did not say anything at all in response, just stood there silently staring at Ruben with dark eyes, Dika started to get scared. She knew him well enough by now to know that his silence meant he was planning various ways to kill everyone in this room. "I do not even like Ruben in that way at all. I only see him as a friend, which I have told him
multiple times, or maybe even triple times over the years."
