The moment Grayson announced it, everyone is staring at me. Dad is looking at me wide eyes while mouthing to me, what does he mean?

Mother is pasted out on Dad and I glare at her. I knew she was going to do that.

Everyone has their stalker like eyes on me, it makes me feel squeamish and uneasy. Never in my have I had this much attention at me.

I look back to the stage to watch the Alpha and Luna's reaction.

Like expected, the Alpha is sitting stiffly in his chair giving me a dirty look. I guess he never liked me. His black hair is slicked back and his pale skin looks even more paler. He is truly aggravated.

The Luna is staring at me wide eyed. I always liked her, but maybe she's shocked that someone like me could be mated to a King.

I look back to my mate's gorgeous face. His blankly staring at me which is making my heart rate skyrocket even more than it already is.

Grayson motions for me to walk up to the podium with him, and like I'm in a trance, I do what he says.

He holds out a hand for me to take and hesitate.

But I grab is hand and cling to it like it's my life line. I glance around at the stunned crowd. Some girls face's are set in a scowl and looking at me with so much envy, I can practically feel it from all the way over here.

"This is my mate." Whispers spread through the audience. "She will come back with me to my home. We leave at dawn."

Now I can see my Mother is wake and staring at me like I'm crazy. Is this not what she wanted?

I glance up at my mate. He has a cold face on, and is looking at everyone with disgust. Huh.

Grayson looks down at me. "Anything you want to say?" He asks.

I shake my head. The last thing I wanted to do was give a speech about how much I was grateful their support, when they never have a damn about me.

The Alpha ends the pack meeting and dismissed everyone to go home, well except me.

Grayson was still holding my hand when we were asked to sit back down. I try and retreat back to my seat up in the crowd but Grayson just pulls me back to him with a gentle tug.

Now all I can think about is where he's touching me. There's sparks flying everywhere and it pleasurable. Almost enough to make me moan.

But I try and keep as much of a straight face as I can. The last thing I needed was for my mate to think I was a freak.

"Iris?"

Was someone talking to me?

"Iris!" Yells the person again. I snap out of it.

"Yes" I ask, it's the Luna.

"You need to pack all your stuff when you get home. The King will pick you up." She looks at my mate for confirmation. He nods.

"Your parents will be staying here. I don't have enough room to fit more people." Adds my mate. Grayson's curly hair bounced as he speaks. My mate's blue eyes are staring back into mine, and a feeling of contentment washes over me.

I let out a sigh of relief. Thank Goddess their not coming.

"We will keep in contact. If you want to see your parents, you will be let in immediately." Alpha James says.

"I don't want to see my Mother again." I say softly to the Luna.

Her perfectly shaped brown eyebrows shoot up.

"Why?"

"Because" is all I say. I really don't want to answer that question.

If she's curious, she didn't show it and continues to talk about how this could be a new beginning for me.

I guess in a way she's right.

Soon I find myself in a limo with my mate, driving back to the house.

He's on his phone viciously typing on the phone. He must really be mad at someone.

Grayson has been on that thing the whole dang time. But I don't say anything. I don't want to be the one who crosses a boundary in this relationship.

So to occupy me, I stare out the window and watch as the familiar roads pass. I've been down this road so many times that I recognize everything here.

"Do you like it here?" Comes a sudden question from my mate.

I'm surprised by his question, I thought we were doing the whole ignoring each other thing.

"Umm," I start as I turn to face him. "not really."

At least my reply is honest.

"Why?" I ask him.

Grayson rips his eyes off his phone and looks at me. "I don't know, love, I just asked."

Love. The word sent a shiver down my back. He noticed because his eyes darken when they watched me.

After a few moments I gather up the courage to ask a much needed answered question.

"Why didn't you keep on your word? You said I had a day to tell my parents, then you announce it to everyone." As soon as the words leave my mouth Grayson growls lowly.

"I did what you told me. But I grew impatient and told everyone myself." He narrows his eyes at me. "Don't tell me you have a problem with that? "

I grit my teeth. Yeah I have a big problem with it!!

"No."

Yes I do!

He continues to stare at me until he gets bored and looks back at his phone. That makes me mad. Where was the Grayson I saw on stage, the affection he showed me? Was it all an act?

It was silent for the rest of the car ride and none of us said anything.

To say the least this was the most awkward car ride ever.

Grayson didn't even look at me, second glanced me or anything! Was I that ugly that you can't even look at me?

When we reached the house I slowly got out of the car and smiled at the man in suppose to spend the rest of my life with. But Grayson just stared at me and says it does nothing.

As the limo drove away, I watched it leave. I was dreading going inside and dealing with the horror, called me Mother. I was doomed to die.

She would certainly be mad about me not telling her. I would get and earful from Mom and a talk with Dad.

Oh what fun it is to be me right now.

I walk towards the white two story house I knew so well.  Under the mat the said ''Welcome!'' was the keys to open the door. I started to panic when I heard my parents inside talking about me.

When I unlock the door, my parents are waiting at the front door for me.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!" Can you guess who that was? I think you can.

Like I said, doomed to die.
