Underneath (Completed)#Unedited

Chapter 23

My fate was mocking me, destiny was probably cursing. I have landed myself where I never wanted to be. Alberto had his grip on my waist in a possessive hold it just reminded me how much of a territorial bastard he is. I can't believe I am his wife. His

I tried avoiding meeting people's eager gaze, I was in between a minimum of five members who were gushing about how historic this occasion truly is. A werewolf mated to a human. I try not to scoff. They were feeding his ego, trying to win a respected place by his side because now truly he is undefeatable

He is an alpha with a luna, nothing can stop him now. I try not to feel dreadful, surely nothing can be as bad as him forcing me to mate with him or him sucking my life. I don't know in what sick way Alberto cares for me, why am I even mentioning it, he bloody hell can never care. He is just trying tp manipulate me and the situation, he is such an opportunist. All he cares about is power

He cannot fight our bond nor can I, we are just meant to be even though we are not meant for each other not even a tad bit. We are too different and too alike. It is such a complex mess. All that happened between us and all That is going to happen with us might make sense one day but for now it is senseless.

I have no answer for him being the ultimate man in my life, its truly hard to come in terms with that. I try to pry myself off his deadly grip, a little bit of freedom is all I am asking. I don't want to do it with him

Yet its too late.

"Emerald  are you all right?" I hear his firm comment directed at me. I snap out of my thoughts and look at him with wide gaze, I was completely caught off guard.

"Its probably the wedding night jitters that are keeping you busy luna" a woman with a bright red lipstick utters rather slyly. I just smile in return.

If I don't keep my facade I know what will be the cost.

I look at each one of them suddenly interested to know where I am.

I look at Alberto and see him averting his eyes when that women with bright red lipstick winks jovially ay him. I caught that.

Past fling??

I will switch our positions in a heart beat. If only that was possible and Alberto was a bit less possessive about me.

I nudge him and politely ask him to introduce us. He narrows his eyes and snaps back looking at the one with red lipstick one, I decided to call her sly red.

"this is Angela" she gives me her full smile, I know better than to trust that .

Such an angel

He then turns towards an old woman who was busy fanning herself. Yes fanning

I give her a polite smile, she looks at me quizzically. She was expecting me to throw a tantrum something akin to last time.

Well Alberto outsmarted me and currently I am a humiliated loser. So. No hopes grand mom

"This is Elizabeth." I give her a nod in acknowledgement. He then turns towards a shy redhead and introduces her to me. Sydney.

I genuinely smile at her, she just strikes me as positive. He then guides me towards an aged man with Pepper hair. He was sophisticated, the way he held his drink was a proof for that, light touch which was firm but not too tight..

"bless you both and our kind. May you rule in peace" Alberto gives him grateful smile while I was standing there trying my best not to hint anything rude.

As we make our way towards the crowd I notice that Alberto only had introduced women to me and a man too old for me, while there were three men just my age, be didn't even let me spare a glance at them.
