Chapter 8

• Evelyn's POV
• "Are you out of your senses, I mean which girl would refuse him. You're just an Omega, and yet you refuse an Alpha. Do you know how many high-ranking girls from Alpha families have sought to marry them but he refused them all."
• "It's their business," I hissed in disgust at the attitude of such girls.
• "Anyway there's nothing you can do now, we've already decided that you'd be his wife. We agreed to this and also signed a deal, our pack would become an ally to him. Come on, we can't let go of this great opportunity."
• My mouth hung open as he said this, my jaw dropped. "So you sold me off without even informing me?"
• "I needed to," he nodded.
• "This' so bad of you Grandpa, you'd have sought my opinion."
• "That wasn't necessary."
• I stamped my feet on the floor, and created a scene. I cried my eyes out that day. "You have just twenty days to travel to his pack and live with him as a luna."
• "What! Don't tell me it's so soon?"
• I became so frustrated. Frank and I were planning for a perfect proposal on the day of the installation, we wanted to show ourselves as the happy, proud couples which we were. I was too grieved as I thought about him, I never thought that there will be an after of us being in a relationship and in love. I thought he was gonna last forever.
• “Gosh!” I slapped my forehead. Why am I even missing someone who cheated on me? An asshole?
• I scoffed, looking away with disgust at nothing in particular but the memory of Frank. It was now distorted. Now it seemed I had no other option.
• *********
• Frank, my ex-fiance, now his former Beta, went missing after I got into the pack estate of Liberty Pack. He appointed a new Beta right away, that's when I knew something was wrong somewhere.
• Unluckily for me, I found myself still in the same estate and under the same man I detested with my soul. I was disappointed. The moon goddess had fucked my wish up which is marrying for love.
• “Do you think it's that easy to go to a new mate, someone that's perfect?” My wolf said. I wanted to scold it and ask it to keep quiet. I wanted a man who would be good to me, I wanted Frank back in another man but Caleb wasn't any close to it.
• “Since I can't escape him, I'll make sure my heart doesn't loves him no matter how long we're gonna stay together. After the contract’s term, I'll divorce him and go marry someone I truly love.” I swore to myself.
• Slowly the door of the dimly lit room opens and Caleb walks in, I turn my face away with hatred.
• "Evelyn, you still hate me, don't worry you'll need to stay with me lest you wouldn't be able to take your revenge on my forcing you to get married to me just so I can become the Alpha which I have right away."
• “My accusers, all those who blackmailed me with the clips now knows that girl is no other but my mate.”
• “I'm not your mate! I can never be your mate!” I shrugged my shoulders, knotting my face into a frown.
• I hiss, sensing this as a mockery. He knows my mind, he knows what I want to do and he takes it upon himself to mock me this way.
• "Anyway, your presence is needed downstairs."
• It bounced back to mind that today is grandpa's birthday, this is taking place right after his installation, the one activity that grabbed the whole of my attention and I forgot about every other thing. Well, it was for the negative, I felt I was being sold to be a Luna, most especially to an Alpha I didn't love. I wondered how and when I was gonna get out of this marriage without hurting both parties.
• As earlier scheduled, grandpa's party is gonna take place here, in Caleb's estate. I'm glad I was already dressed. I immediately jumped off the bed in a haste to apply a little make up. I had to look good, it's gonna be the first time my family and pack members are coming to visit me in my new husband's estate.
• They were coming here from my birth pack to celebrate grandpa's birthday, quite unusual.
• Immediately Caleb announced this to me, he rushed back, downstairs. I had to finish up on my own and go downstairs. I have a role to play on stage. I had to sing to entertain grandpa's guests and Caleb's pack members.
• I take a final glance at myself on the large mirror on the wall. I love myself in my long fitting gown slit to the midst of my hips, my shape comes out so clear, it has no hand, my shoulders are bare, exposed to the gaze of everyone when I go downstairs. The front has a sweetheart neckline exposing the topmost part of my cleavage.
• My lips are sparkling glossy, my red lipstick doing great magic. I look like a real goddess with my fake eyelashes and acrylic nails, I glance down at my feet raising one leg up, my silvery shoe is so glamorous. I can't wait to go down and meet everyone. I'll be in the eyes and heart of everyone.
• I pick up my silvery purse which compliments my silvery shoes, a silver tiara on top of my bridal-styled hairstyle. I walk slowly down the stairs to the hall where all the guests are seated. Immediately I set my feet on the grounds of the hall, everyone turns to look at me. I blink at them in pride, turning my eyes away.
• "Hey Evelyn," Sophia, my cousin, one of those attending the party walks towards me with a wide smile.
• I smile at her, stretching my arms to have her in my embrace. We hug so tight. "So glad to see you here!"
