Novel & Cerita An Unexpected Engagement

Alma just laughed at him. “Ryan and I have both had some unexplained “events” occur simultaneously recently.” I admitted, deciding that just diving in head first was the best course of action where Alma was concerned. “Initially, we wrote it off as some weird twin phenomenon. We had just met our mate and had a bit of a rough start with her. She was hesitant to accept our bond and emotions were running high. We assumed that may have triggered it. But then, it happened again a couple days later.” Alma rolled her eyes at me, then fixed me with a stern look.

I said to Nick. He got up and grabbed two beers from the fridge. “Man, I really hope she is there. This has become personal for me. Now I need to find her,” he said emphasizing the word I. “I’m giving up looking for her if she is not there,” I said. “What? Why?” Nick asked, surprised. “You heard what your mom said. She might come here. I will wait,” I shrugged. “Yeah, but what if she doesn’t?” “Then it’s not meant to be. I'm a tired man. I don’t know what is happening to me. I’ve never felt like this before. I want to resolve this and go back to not fucking caring about anything,” I said, getting angry.

I shrugged. "Really? You will?" He asked clearly taken a back by my response. "Yeah, if I remember, you said that nothing was ever too fast for werewolves when it came to love, right? Besides we're engaged so might as well," I shrugged as I put my bags on my neatly made bed," Plus it's fun just moving with the flow when it comes to our relationship." I winked at him, making him look at me in confusion and disbelief. "Baby, are you okay? Or am I the one who's sick?" He murmured.

before the engagement was even official? It was shameless!

I had hoped to find a way to manage everything discreetly, but now it seemed like my options were dwindling. Veronica glided over to me, her smile unwavering. “I’ve been looking forward to this conversation. I wanted to discuss the details of our upcoming engagement announcement.” Her words felt like a dagger to the heart. The reality of my engagement with her, which I had been postponing and avoiding, was now unavoidable. I knew that Veronica was more than just a formality to my parents; she was a symbol of stability and strength for the pack, and they were eager to see it solidified.

“Yeah right! Look whatever you do or don’t do is your affair! Just leave me out of it. I want nothing to do with you or your family.” I hung up boiling with anger. The asshole was with a woman, not surprising, although I was surprised how upset I was about it. Then my social media pages started getting flooded with messages. Jan you’re engaged to Kev Watson? I thought it was Tony Sands?🤔 Congratulations girl!♥️ How were you able to tame this animal?🤣 When is the engagement party?🍾 Then the phone started ringing. All my friends were eager to hear the news from me, and I didn’t know what to say. For now it seemed easier to just play along and accept their good wishes.

He’d always wanted to be out there, with her, and he was glad he could finally do that. “But Nathan,” he continued, edging the conversation on. “Don’t you think you are making wild assumptions here? For one, no one is thinking about the suddenness of our engagement, especially after expecting an explanation following the release of that article yesterday. To be candid, I have that person to thank, whoever it is.” “Why?”

It was all just a little too convenient. Cal finally turned, and our eyes met, exchanging a wary glance. I could see the skepticism swimming in his dark orbs, mirroring my own doubts. But then, in a surprising turn of events, a spark of hope flickered in his gaze. It was faint, almost crazy, but we both felt it - the possibility of rebuilding our coven, stronger than ever before.

Adam’s P.O.V I knew I couldn’t avoid them forever. I just didn’t expect Mum to be this persistent. I was at least hoping to make the merger with The Malloy Holdings before I informed my parents on my recent engagement. Even the thought of those words sounded wrong in my ears. The whole thing is wrong, I just hoped it would be worth it.

This confrontation, raw and brutal as it was, merely accelerated the inevitable. “We will announce our engagement,” I continued, planning aloud, the vision unfolding in my mind. “Publicly. Deliberately. It will cause a scandal, of course. The old guard will clutch their pearls, the tabloids will feast. Let them. Every whisper, every raised eyebrow, every denouncement will only serve to cement my position, and yours, as unshakeable. It will be a clear message: I am not bound by tradition. I am not bound by their expectations. I am bound only to you.” His expression was a mix of apprehension and dawning wonder. “An engagement? So soon?”
