Hell freeze over when a forever bond was damned upon his head. Relationship and women in general were the last things on his mind. Interaction between humans wasn't his cup of tea let alone getting tied to someone for the rest of his life.
Eden Sal...

He ran his fingers through his hair a million times over, turning it into a mess of chocolate brown liked he had just rolled straight out of bed. His jaw locked in place as he listened to the man in front of him mumbled on about his unwanted marriage to a girl he had never even seen.
The young doctor frustratedly took his stethoscope from the collar of his white coat and threw it across the desk, making a loud thud. Steven Salvatore, his one and only grandfather jumped back in surprise cocking an eyebrow at him in amusement as he watched his youngest grandson sighed heavily with his face between his palms.
" Cancel this bullshit before I moved across the globe or perhaps to the North Pole. Truth to be told I would gladly live with penguins for the rest of my life. " he muttered.
" You're marrying her and that's final. " Steven narrowed his eyes carefully at his grandson, not sure if he was joking.
" You and I both know that I would jump off that window behind you in a heartbeat if that meant I won't have to spend my life as someone's forever prisoner. "
" You meant as someone's husband. " Steven chuckled, shaking his head in amusement.
The wicked old man was playing Cupid since more than two decades ago. He still remembered very much clearly when he had dumped the news on his own son and now years later he was still here doing the same thing, only this time to his grandson.
" I'm not marrying her or anyone else in particular. " Eden groaned, looking at his grandfather silently begging him to end this nonsense.
" Give me a good reason why? Adalina is a perfectly great match for you. "
" I hate people. "
" Understandable but not good enough. " Steven shrugged, trying to hide his smile.
" The Hastings and us, Salvatore's had a deal, a contract to be exact. We merged our blood by a marriage bond or the treaty will be broken and there will be war between us. "
Eden cussed under his breath. " Then pick Elliot. Or Nicholas perhaps. "
" Nicholas is happily married to the lovely Anastasia. He had children. And, you know Elliot is in no shape for marriage. He was still playing the field therefore I can't do that to the poor girl, he will break her heart. " Steven explained.
" How do you know I won't break her heart? "
" Salvatore men are heartbreakers but at least I know you're the most faithful man in the bloodline. You won't cheat on your wife. "
" I'm not marrying her. If they want war, they will get it. I will fight the battle myself. "
He said, grabbing the stethoscope from the desk and was ready to leave the room when his grandfather pulled out the last card up his sleeves. Steven hated to do this but he got no choice. No unnecessary blood would spill under his watch, not his own nor other innocents.
" I will signed this hospital off to the public if you don't show up at the altar a year from now. However everything will be legally yours the moment you have a wedding band wrapped around your finger. "
" Think about it, son. At least for our family's sake. " Steven said, rosing from his chair.
" I swear to you, she's a great girl and you will be happy with her. I wouldn't want anything but the best for my grandson. " he patted Eden on the back, then he was out of the room.
