“Tomorrow. You’ll join me for training. In front of the pack.” My smile didn’t falter. “Of course, Alpha.”i answered. “Not for a fight, just for a show” Ah. So he wanted a performance. A bonding moment for his wolves to believe in this marriage? “Fine,” I said. “But I want something in return.” His eyes narrowed with confusion “What?” I stepped so close our lips nearly brushed. “A tour of the mountain behind the pack house". He went still. Every muscle locked. “Why?”

I asked, and Finn moved with quick strides towards me, ready to grab, and throw me out of the chamber but Alpha Toot spoke. “Leave her,” he said, and Finn stopped, glancing at him before bowing, and taking a step back. “Yes, you heard correctly. You will marry the Alpha rogue,” he told me. “I will not get married to him. I am already married.” The moment I was done speaking Alpha Toot scoffed. “That is what I call illegal marriage. You are not marked neither was a formal ceremony conducted before everyone to show this. When you get married to someone else, following all terms, and procedures, it will bind you as a mate so you feel each other,” he said.

When he glanced at her, just briefly, she felt that strange tightening in her chest again. The bond stirred. He noticed. His jaw tightened almost imperceptibly. “Bring the bride forward,” an elder Alpha commanded. Seraphina walked. Each step echoed too loudly in the cavernous space. She kept her chin lifted, her shoulders squared, even as her heart beat a frantic rhythm against her ribs. This was not fear, she told herself.

It was the way she spoke to them as if she knew Damian’s heart better than anyone ever could. I sat on my bed, trying to push the conversation aside, but her voice kept replaying in my head. “A half breed will never win his heart.” I held my arms around myself and closed my eyes for a moment but there was a knock on my door and Kara peeked in. “Dinner time.” She said softly. “The Alpha told everyone to be present.” I nodded and followed her. My chest felt heavy, but I refused to show it. The dining hall was already filled when we arrived. The wives were dressed beautifully, sitting in their usual seats the air felt stiff. Their eyes watched everything and watched me like they were cameras.

“Okay, I’m nervous, Atticus. How do you know everything will go right this time?” I close the space between us and brush a strand of her behind her ear, “I don't know Viviane, but I hope Selene upholds her promise and that the gods don't decide to play dirty tricks on us tonight. I must hurry now, my love.” I give her a kiss on the forehead. “Make her the most beautiful bride you've ever seen.” I command the Omegas when they arrive with Viviane’s wedding dress. The women bare their necks to me and say in unison, “Yes, Alpha.”

"Do I look like a liar?" A brief silence permeated the air before gasps, and then a loud bout of gossip followed. "The alpha. Oh goddess. I want to be the bride, "a girl said with a dreamy look in her eyes. "The mad alpha is the one you want to get married to? You must be a sadist, Emma", another girl said nonchalantly, rolling her eyes.

But he could tell, he was an alpha. Maybe I was his mate, maybe that's why he marred me. I said to myself. My mother used to talk about the bond of mates and how strong it made their pack. I had not really looked forward to it but I always assumed I would meet my mate. I looked over at Ace again, he was now looking at his phone. Why did he really marry me?

Envious gazes and words of praise welcomed her, her heart skipped a beat seeing the groom at the end of the aisle. Dressed in a black wedding suit, Alpha was a living example of perfection. Charlotte forgot to take a step forward, frozen at the spot.

"You are to marry the Alphas in her place within the next 30 minutes. Is it clear to you now?" Of course not! I was going to do no such thing. "I'm sorry, Ma'am, but I cannot consent to marrying the Alphas. You may need to seek an alternative solution," I responded calmly, though internally, the thought of their proposal stirred turmoil within me.
