Filed To Story: Mated To Big Brother-in-law
“When I became the head Alpha of this pack, I fixed Mila as the Luna of my pack.”
She was taken aback by his response.
Her whole body trembled as she almost collapsed to the floor. She would have lost control of her steps if she had not grabbed a chair behind her.
However, when he paused briefly before speaking again, he totally destroyed her, leaving no chance for recovery.
“I didn’t break the engagement that day but only postponed it.”
Sophia was so shocked that she did not know what to say.
What exactly did he mean when he said he postponed the engagement? Even though he was aware that he had a mate and that he could not reject her, he still intended to marry that woman?
Her legs started to tremble. She felt the ground slip beneath her feet.
With a taste of betrayal unlike anything anyone had ever experienced, she fixed her gaze on the man.
When did he change his care, his heart, and his home? No, he did not change anything. She never existed among them.
Her eyes moved away from him as they slowly lowered to the ground.
“Y-You…”
She was unable to speak anymore. Indeed, this man was ruthless.
One by one, she recalled every warning that his brother, mother, and rival gave her about him.
They were so right. He did not have a heart.
If he had, he would not have broken her in this way.
“How could you do this to me?” Her tone was hushed as she mumbled.
She felt hurt to even let a word out of her mouth. Her voice seemed to become stuck in her throat.
Her heart was pounding in her chest. Her wolf began to howl inside, realizing that he did not love her.
“I thought you loved me. But you had already planned everything from the start.”
She felt stuck in her place. It appeared as though she would immediately fall to the ground if she took even a single step forward.
“Why are you reacting like this? What difference does it make to you if I marry someone else?”
When Bryan spoke, a fire of agony was ignited within her heart. She raised her eyes slowly to look at his face.
She smiled at him regretfully. “You used me knowing that there was no future for us.”
Bryan’s eyes shot a sharp glare at her. “This is what women have a problem with. When exactly did I use you? Didn’t you want that to?”
Sophia shuddered at his harsh tone. By saying that, he proved that he thought of her as just another woman. The woman who did not have anything to do in his life except fulfill his desire.
Sophia had no strength to even talk to him right now. She wanted to go somewhere and cried her heart out.
How could fate play with her like this? At first, his brother, and now he… How could they break her heart like that?
“Stop crying,” Bryan said, watching her tears fall down her cheeks.
As she wiped away her tears, she sobbed. “I am not crying for you. I am laughing at my own fate.”
Bryan kept staring at her for a while. When he saw her continue to wipe her tears, he spoke out.
“You are too fragile to comprehend the world of royal politics. The world is full of power and authorities. If you get so weak, how are you going to survive?”
Sophia’s hands froze on her cheeks. She looked at him.
“Y-You are right. I am weak. That is what your brother told me as well.”
She recalled the day when she caught Bruce cheating on her. That day, she wanted to complain to Bryan about how brutal his young brother was.
Little did she know, the man she wanted to complain to would be the most ruthless man she had ever met.
“You played with me,” she mumbled, crying a mess.
He frowned at her. “Calm down. What are you so worried about?”
Sophia had no idea how she would deal with this man. She was completely clueless. He had been with her, knowing that he would never accept her. But now he was saying to her that she had nothing to worry about.
She would not allow him to hurt her in the same way that his brother had.
She wiped her tears again and shook her head.
“I can’t let you marry her. I can’t let you engage with her.”
After saying that, she stepped toward him and held his hands.
“Please cancel the engagement. Don’t do anything with her. You are my mate. How can you do that to me? When you postponed it, I know you never considered being with me. But now look at us. We are happy together. Don’t we? Just cancel the engagement and stay with me.”
Like a crazy girl about to lose everything, she was blabbering.
She did not know when she had fallen in love with him, to the point where she was terrified of losing him. She could not live without him. He was her life, her everything, and she cherished him so much.
She wished for him to remain by her side for a lifetime.
Bryan grabbed her hand and removed it from his wrist. He glared at her and replied,
“There is no one in this world who can stop it. I will announce the engagement soon. If everything goes as planned, my pack will be the largest, outweighing the Moon Valley Pack.”
Sophia shook her head numerous times. “Don’t do this to me. I can’t live without you, Mate.”
He lifted his hand and wiped her tears away with his thumb against her cheek.
“I will not abandon you. There is no need to worry. Everything will remain the same between us.”
His touch no longer felt warm to her, but rather cold.
His words shook her from the inside.
“Why? Why is she so important to you that you can’t make another woman your Luna except her?”
After turning around, he removed a pack of cigarettes from his pants pocket. He lit a cigarette. Smoking was the only thing that could calm his mind.
He inhaled the smoke deeply but slowly before he started speaking.
“Her father, Alpha Lucas Laurant, made the marriage proposal a long time ago. As soon as I marry his daughter, he will give me half of his throne.”
Sophia was speechless. There was nothing that she could argue about.
The man in front of her was only interested in gaining power.
Already, he had established himself as the most powerful figure in the world of business. But that was not enough for him. He wanted more.
If his pack turned out to be the largest pack after acquiring half of the Moon Valley Pack, he would be the king of Alphas.
But… What about her?
She did not have the reputation or packs under her family to offer him. Her father was a simple pack fighter who lived his entire life as a pack fighter of this pack before passing away in an accident.
They did not have the same level of wealth as Mila’s royal family. She was not even close to being as capable as Mila in any way.
She felt hurt in her heart just thinking about how she had to weigh her love today.
Looking at the cruel man who rejected her heart so easily made her feel broken.
“You want to marry her because of her pack? What about her? Don’t you think it’s going to be unfair to her?”
‘And unfair with me?’ She said it in her mind.
When Bryan turned to face her, he responded,
“No. Not just for her pack. Not only is she a good woman, but she also possesses the ability to lead my pack and stand next to me. I have no doubt that she will be the most suitable Luna for my pack. By marrying me, she will gain respect that she will not find anywhere else.”
The words that he had spoken made Sophia want to laugh. He was praising another woman to her, and it was so straightforward.
Every word he spoke caused her heart to become numb. She was no longer interested in listening to that.
So she looked into his eyes and asked directly,
“Alpha Bryan, I am in love with you. For once, don’t you feel like you love me? Not even after spending the nights with me?”
