What do you want me to do ? I remarked putting my anger on him, it was easy because I knew he could take it. But I didn’t know what he expected me to do, be happy that I was being forced into a marriage.
Baby don’t walk away, talk about it Fours attempt only made me worse, I wanted to turn around and hit him. He was prepared for this, I wasn’t. What seventeen year old thinks that they are going to get married.
You took everything I had away from me, I had no choice but to stay here because of you, and now I have no choice but to do this, I honestly don’t know how this is now surprising me at this stage I never turned around or stopped walking until I reached the door and turned around to see he was still beside the elevator. I didn’t want to be nasty it just came out.
He looked more hurt by my words than anything else, I don’t think I had ever made him silent before. Maybe he was holding back because of the tears that were rolling down my face at a fast pace or because he didn’t know how to reply to me.
I promise that I won’t tell Alpha but please be quick, I’ll stall Preston so you can get out but he follows you around all day how do you expect me to be able to do it for long ? Terri muttered as she peered out the door to make sure she couldn’t see Preston after I begged her for the past two hours to tell me where a council member lived so I could talk to them myself.
It’s been a few days since Four told me that there was nothing he could do to stop the marriage, he had already extended it and they weren’t changing their minds. After
Tell him that I’m taking a quiz or something, I’ll be back in a hour I won’t be long. I tried to reassure her, I knew if Preston knew of my plan he would try stop it or tell Four and I didn’t want him to get involved, so if I didn’t tell him he wouldn’t get in trouble.
Please be quick or I’m telling him you threatened me or something Terri pushed me out the door after she confirmed that she couldn’t see Preston.
Because he will believe that I mumbled trying to be quiet as I walked down the hall towards the front door, honestly I’m surprised I even managed to get away from Preston to go the toilet.
This had to be it, this was the third house that fit Terri’s shit description and even worse directions which had led me to knocking on two completely wrong houses that looked like they had seen a ghost when they opened the door.
I quickly pushed myself towards the front door, it took me almost ten minutes to give myself enough confidence to knock on each door, I hadn’t really planned on what I was going to say but I mean how else can I say what is wrong with you making a seventeen year old get married that doesn’t sound like I’m being a brat.
Before I could talk myself out of it I reached up knocking the door half thinking that it wouldn’t be the right house and that I shouldn’t be this nervous.
After a few seconds the door swung open to reveal an older looking man, maybe in his sixties or so and my heart literally fell when I realised this was the right house.
My mind wanted to scream out so many things at him yet I could barely open my mouth, nothing was coming out and I didn’t know why. I probably looked like such a dick standing here staring at him not saying anything, did he know who I was ? My mind was so busy trying to force myself to say something when a familiar sound of a laugh almost forced me out of my silence and I looked over the man to see an older woman and Four walking towards the door. He didn’t see me for a minute and I wish in that minute I was smart enough to turn around and walk away and pretend I wasn’t there, but of course I remained frozen.
What are you doing here ? He asked once he saw me standing at the front door, I wanted to ask him the same thing but he had already grabbed my hand pulling me away from the house.
I was looking for you I tried to come up with a shitty lie which he saw through straight away as he stopped leaning against a random car folding his arms over each other.
And why didn’t you go to the house ? He asked, his tone already told me that he was playing alone with my lies, he knew what I was doing.
But why was he there ? He didn’t seem angry when he was inside and his mood wasn’t bad at the minute and usually when he is with the council it never ends with him being happy.
Why are you here ? I thought you said that there was nothing you could do ? I ignored his question as my suspicion increased. Was he putting on his anger towards them only in front of me to make it look like he was against it to ?
Oh so you can ask me questions now about my own pack ? Answer mine first He demanded as he pushed himself of the car as I had took a few steps back, his chest was now rising up and down faster and I could tell he was getting angrier.
I wanted to talk to them, see if there was anything I could say to change their mind I sighed, honestly what was the point of lying anymore when he was going to be pissed anyway.
He closed his eyes for a brief second and when he opened them again it was as if his anger had gone away, well not fully I could see his fists still clenched at his sides but his chest wasn’t falling as heavy and he unclenched his jaw.
I told you to stay out of it, didn’t I ?. You’re really lucky I got there before you did and I didn’t have to be told that my mate was shouting at a council member loosing everyone chance we had of getting you out of this marriage He shook his head as I think I near fainted when I heard his words.
I thought you said they weren’t going to change their minds ? I asked almost cutting him off as I started to already get my hopes up that he had finally got them to see what a bad idea this was.
I didn’t let him reply before I leaped forward wrapping my arms around his neck in a hug before my moment of joy was cut off by Fours lack of happiness.
They didn’t change their minds about the marriage thing, but I found away around it that didn’t involve you His words made me take a few steps back, what was he talking about ?
I’m getting married to a Luna, it’s just not going to be you He sounded like the words were forced to come out of his mouth like it hurt him to even say them to me.
EMILY’S P. O. V
I thought those words were exactly what I wanted to hear for the last few weeks but now that I was actually hearing them they never brought the happiness and relief I thought I would feel, well that’s a lie for a second I felt relieved that what I thought was going to be the end of my freedom wasn’t going to happen but after that left I was left with a shitty feeling in my stomach. I didn’t know what it was at that time and for a while after until I managed to asked Terri about it when it wouldn’t go away and was only growing stronger and she told me it was the mate bond so it wasn’t my fault and I decided it wasn’t how I actually felt. But in that moment I didn’t want to actually tell Four, I actually wasn’t going to tell Four because I knew he had worked so hard to make me happy and I honestly was grateful that I wasn’t going to have to do it.
