You better start planning a better escape plan for three weeks Wes piped up once again as the laughter died down and Terri shot him a dirty look and soon after he let out a wince of pain.
What was that For ? He asked as Terri once again threw him the dirtiest look, I’m assuming she had kicked him under the table. What was he talking about ?
After silence entered the table for a few minutes I racked my brain trying to work out if Four had mentioned something that was meant to be in three weeks but I couldn’t think of anything. I knew it had to be serious when Wes and Anton didn’t try to make further jokes about it, but what ?
What’s in three weeks ? I asked interrupting the silence that now swallowed the whole table which was just followed by an exchange of looks between the three and more silence. This was the first time I had ever seen them actually be really scared of something, like they told me something that I wasn’t supposed to know. What could be worse than finding out that they were wolfs ?
Just tell me I tried once again as I began to grow slightly worried with a bit of anger, they can’t bring it up and then not tell me and expect me to be okay with that.
Emily, I thought you knew, I really don’t want Four to find out that I told you, he would literally kill me Wes tone was laced with worry as he broke the silence. It was literally eating at me not knowing what he was talking about I felt my selfish side crawling forward and demand to know what he was talking about but then I remembered Preston and what Four did to him.
No it’s fine, I’ll just ask Four myself I smiled, if I just asked him no one would get hurt but if I made Wes tell me then he could get hurt and it would be my fault.
Your wedding, Emily it’s your wedding Terri blurted out after another few moments of silence as no one knew how to pick up the conversation again. Her words made me go pale and I felt like the whole room had gone silent. I felt like I heard her wrong because I knew she couldn’t of been talking about me.
Emily are okay ? I felt Preston’s hand on my shoulder pushing me slightly as I realised almost everyone had gone from the room now, the bell must have gone and Preston stood beside me as I felt like someone had literally slapped me in the face to remind me that I wasn’t in control, and Four was the biggest dick I had ever met.
EMILY’S P. O. V
I felt my anger boil at the sight of seeing Four on my way home from school, it was only break time but I stormed out after I tried to calm down for a few minutes but my anger grew until I had to get out of there, I felt trapped. I had been rehearsing what I was going to scream at Four when I seen him from not mentioning the fact that my wedding day was supposedly in three weeks. But now that I seen him as he unloaded boxes from a large van onto the ground outside a shop all I wanted to do was run over and punch him, I knew it would hurt it I did it though I would only end up hurting myself.
As I became closer to him I seen him look up through the crowd off people that were already gathered here, I don’t know how he saw me or maybe he could hear my heavy breathing but his eyebrows crinkled together probably wondering why I was out of school already and maybe I looked angry from the outside.
What’s wrong did something happen ? He asked as he stopped what he was doing and started walking towards me. His question was innocent but I don’t know how he didn’t know what I was angry about. How long did he think he could not tell me this ?
Why didn’t you tell me ? I thought you weren’t going to lie to me anymore I began my rant ignoring his question as I felt my vision turn blurry as a result of the anger I was feeling.
This wasn’t a little lie, this was something for the rest of my life. If he thought for a second I was going to agree to marry him he was very wrong. Wasn’t me being here and not running every chance I got enough ?
Something must have clicked in Fours head as he closed his eyes taking a deep breath before he chose how to respond to me.
Instead of the bullshit I through he was going to begin feeding me he grabbed my hand and began walking towards a building. If this was any other time I would of been angry but I wanted answers and if going away from staring people was going to get me answers I would follow.
Once we were in an empty office building he let me go and took a deep breath as guilt was laced over his face, but that didn’t make me feel any better.
I was going to tell you- He began and I felt my anger push my rational side away and I felt my emotions take over.
Don’t feed me that bullshit Four, you knew this the whole time and you didn’t think that maybe you should tell me ? Ask my permission on it ? Or as usual treat me like a bloody child- I felt my voice rising as it bounced off the small walls that surrounded us as I began to pace throughout the room. Knowing that I had no other choice but to accept this was my life from now on was one thing and I still even struggle after months but marriage ? At seventeen ? My mind couldn’t stop racing at the fact that I was being forced to do this and I had only three weeks to stop this.
Emily, I didn’t tell you because I’ve been trying to get it stopped for weeks and I didn’t want to stress you even more cause I know how you would take this shit Four cut me of his voice slightly raised as I could tell from his clenched jaw that he was getting angry.
What do you mean trying ? Four isn’t it your bloody decision ? I didn’t understand what he was saying which only frustrated me even more.
I’ve already pushed it back as much as I can, I’ve been talking with the council to get it removed but I don’t have a say. It’s a tradition that’s been in this pack since it started, they are not going to listen to some 20 year old Alpha that’s already trying to change things He explained, the council ? What did he mean by that. I’ll keep trying love, but believe me I don’t really want to get married as well He continued which made my anger soften a little bit.
Why has he never told me about this council before ? Why did they get a say in my literal marriage.
What’s the council ? I asked, I felt tears forming in my eyes as my voice wobbled slightly. If this was beyond Four there was definitely nothing I could do about it.
Hey, don’t cry love, I’ll sort it okay ? He ignored by question as he pulled me towards him for a hug. I couldn’t help but doubt his words, how could he sort it out if it was a rule even he had to follow ?
