Are you sure, Ayla Baby?” She questions.
I nod. “Yes, Mommy.”
Her warm fingers wipe my cheeks, as she sighs. ” if you say so. But just know, that if you want anything, I will make it happen for you. Whatever it is. If Henry is who you want, I will convince your Daddy to let him be with you.”
“No, Mom.” I shake my head. “I am over him.”
She looks at me like she can’t believe me but at the same time, she seems reluctant to say something to me.
“If that’s the case, then you won’t be mad if you meet Daddy’s guests tonight, right?” She swallows visibly, a nervous smile forming on her lips.
Despite feeling something off, I nod. “I don’t mind.”
If I am not alone, I don’t think Massimo will dare to come for me. It’s better that Daddy is calling guests over.
“Okay, Baby. Go rest. I will send someone with the breakfast in a while.” Mom turns away after patting my cheek softly.
I march up the stairs and lock myself inside the room before rushing to the bathroom to take a shower. For the next half an hour, I scrub every corner of my skin, while silently crying under the running water. How can someone be so cruel as to trample over others in such a disgusting way?
I continue to think about the night, the video, and the threats. Only Massimo Rossi is capable of such a monstrosity.
When the night falls, I find myself growing uncomfortable. What if Massimo really sends that video to Dad?
But he seemed to have some ulterior motive behind marrying me. He won’t lose sight of that goal so easily, right?
I bite my nails as my anxiety grows. A knock sounds on my door, making me stiffen in my way.
“Your Dad is calling you downstairs, Little Miss. “A maid calls from the outside.
I run my hands down the pink dress I am wearing before stepping out of my room and following the maid to the sitting area.
“It will be an honor to establish this relationship with you, Alpha Alexander. ” An old voice says, making me freeze on my way.
“I am sure it will be.” Dad replies smugly.
I look up, at the familiar faces in the room as a sense of betrayal dawns upon me.
There, I see my whole family. Dad, Mom, and Aaron. With Cassian Ruth and his father Albert Ruth.
“Ayla.” Cassian rises from his spot, his eyes landing on me.
He knows how to put on an act and make my skin crawl. I steel my nerves and look into his cunning eyes.
“Cassian.” I nod at him.
“Ayla, you have grown since the last time I saw you. Come to me, child. ” Albert Ruth, Cassian’s father and the former Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack smiles at me.
Slowly, I move past Cassian, ignoring the little smirk playing over his lips and reach Albert.
“I am so happy that you are joining my family. ” Albert grabs my hand as soon as I am in reach and squeezes it lovingly.
My throat feels heavy. ” what does it mean? ” I look at my Dad’s stoic face and Mom’s nervous eyes. “What’s happening here?
“”
“You and I are getting engaged tomorrow. Our families want us to choose each other as mates and spend our lives together. I feel lucky that they deem me worthy of you, Ayla. ” Cassian says, his voice dripping with honey, a tone as fake as his smile and all of his soft demeanor.
Mates? Us? “I pull my hand away from Albert’s grip.
If there is one person I dislike with all my heart, it’s Cassian Ruth. I can’t stand the sight of him or anything about him.
“Yes, Ayla.” He whispers, as if nervous about my reaction.
I face my family.” No one told me anything about it. I am not accepting this, Dad. Mom! “
“Princess, Cassian is the best candidate for this. He will keep you safe and happy.” Dad says calmly, his eyes softening on me.
“Candidate? Is this a job application? And how can you decide my life partner Dad? Who gave you that right?!” My heart thumps against my ribcages violently.
“Ayla Baby!” Mom snaps, standing from her spot. “I understand that you are angry but this is no way to talk to your Dad.”
‘And this is the way to treat your daughter?!” I hiss, my eyes burning with rage. ” is this how you impose things on me?”
Surprise crosses their faces as if they can’t believe I am talking back. But what do I do? How much do I endure this forced life?
“I will not mate with Cassian or marry him.” I announce.
“Why?” Dad’s jaw grits.
“Dad- – – “
I start but another voice, a deeper one, interrupts me. “Because she is already married, Mr. Alvarez. She is Ayla Rossi now.”
AYLA
“Because she is already married, Mr. Alvarez. She is Ayla Rossi now.”
Goosebumps rise on my arms as I freeze on my spot.
“What are you doing here? ” Dad rises to his height, his eyes narrowed on the man behind me.
“I came to take my wife with me.” Massimo replies smugly.
“Get out, Rossi.” Aaron snarls. Unlike Dad who is usually cool-headed and calm, Aaron is reactive and explosive.
“Ayla, my Kitty.” Massimo addresses me.
“I don’t think you fucking heard what is being said to you. “I hear Cassian hiss, his voice pulling me out of the trance.
“What are you on about? ” Mom asks Massimo. She is the only one who actually listens to what he is saying instead of trying to throw him out of the house right away.
“Ayla and I registered our marriage today. She is my wife. ” Massimo reveals.
A heavy silence falls in the sitting area. All eyes fall on me, questions and disbelief swirling in them.
“Ayla Baby. ” Mom approaches me on small steps and grabs my shoulders.” is everything alright with you?”
