Chapter two

I was so shocked that I didn't even see someone behind him. By the time I recovered, there was a group of men and women around us already, murmuring among themselves as if watching a show. But I wasn't focused on them. My gaze was still stuck at the hand that had gripped my wrist tightly. I wanted to snatch my hand, but this person was just too strong. And the problem was, I couldn't even say a thing due to immense fear and nervousness. Every time this guy glanced at me, a chill was sent down my spine! Just then Aiden parted his lips and said in a rough voice, Take her inside. That was when I noticed an additional person right beside him. He was Aiden's Beta Stride, Ethan. The latter had gold rimmed glasses. The man's his black hair fell on his forehead and pushed up his glasses, gazing coldly at me. I stared at the two of them in fear. My limbs trembled crazily as my quivering lips parted and closed again and again without uttering a single word. Why! God, did I somehow curse you in my sleep! Please, let me go! I promise to serve a hundred beggars if you save me today! Wait! Just then, my ex boyfriend voiced out his words. He stared furiously at Aiden's hand that was gripping my wrist, and his anger flared. He glared at me. So you have seduced the famous cruel Aiden Davis too! In my heart, I was cursing my ex for having such bad timing. Wasn't he afraid of Alpha Aiden earlier He had rejected the idea of checking out the marquee earlier. Now when Alpha Aiden had captured me, my ex boyfriend suddenly wanted to snatch me back. Wasn't he afraid of death! Either way, the situation was going crazier than I had imagined. I had to get away as fast as possible! But Aiden's grip was so tight that I was sure that it would leave red marks on my wrist. I whimpered. It seemed my little protest earned Aiden's attention, and he looked at me in amusement. Is it too tight I nodded. Please, loosen your grip at least! I know you don't want to let me go, but please don't cause me pain! I'm already tired after dealing with a psychopath! I don't want to go through such an exhausting relationship again! Aiden seemed to perceive my thoughts and loosened the grip, but didn't let go of me. He simply pulled me closer and trapped me in his embrace. I froze. This was way worse than holding my wrist! My heartbeat sped as I struggled with my feeble hands and legs. But no matter how much I struggled, he firmly held me in position, and even let out a chuckle. You're even ignoring me. My ex boyfriend finally had enough. He laughed crazily and glared at me with his reddened eyes. You've destroyed my life! I gulped and instinctively shrunk in Aiden's embrace. At this point, the fear ingrained in my heart for my ex boyfriend was greater than Aiden. At least, the latter hadn't done anything to cause me trouble. I looked up to see Aiden's eyes narrowing at my ex boyfriend. Get out of here, Sebastian. Yes, my ex's name was Sebastian, but I was starting to hate it these days. He belonged to another werewolf pack, and he was also in the line to become the next Alpha! Leave her alone! Sebastian's red eyes flashed in anger. His earlier anger seemed to have vanished in thin air seeing me in another man's arms. Aiden frowned as if contemplating something. Then he pushed me instantly toward Ethan, who firmly caught my wrist with an indifferent expression on his face. Then Aiden turned toward Sebastian and said, Do you have a death wish Sebastian laughed frantically. Don't fall for her, Mr. Davis. She has a habit of seducing men here and there. You better give her back to me. No, you're wrong. It's you who's blind. Aiden didn't even think twice before replying. When I heard the confidence in his voice, I was stunned. This was the first time I met this guy, and he was already taking my side, even saying my ex was blind to doubt me! I stopped struggling for a moment and stared at Aiden in a daze. Sebastian's face went red in anger. He didn't think twice before breaking a rod from a bicycle beside him and rushing at Aiden. My eyes widened when I saw this scene. Two psychopaths fighting with one another to death. I trembled even thinking of the possible outcome and instantly closed my eyes, moving closer to Ethan. I could hear the sound of hitting and someone even roared. The crowd around me gasped in surprise, but I didn't dare to open my eyes. I didn't want to see a cruel scene filled with blood. I already knew about Aiden's ability from the news on the television and werewolf magazine that was famous across all the packs in America. I knew he was capable of killing my ex boyfriend. I couldn't help but feel afraid. It wasn't like I still had lingering feelings for Sebastian. My feelings went down in the drain ever since the day he started doubting me even when I hadn't done anything. I even stopped feeling the race of my heartbeat when he suddenly became a control freak. All I could feel was the feeling of being suppressed by someone so much so that I found it harder to breathe. But that doesn't mean I wanted him to die! Suddenly, I felt someone flicking their fingers on my forehead, and I jolted, opening my eyes to see an amused Aiden standing right before me. What happened Weren't Sebastian and him fighting Did Aiden win Then did that mean Sebastian was dead I had too many questions in my heart, but I didn't dare to voice them out. Today, everything was too thrilling. And the fact that I was facing the famous cold hearted man didn't calm me down. Instead, I became so afraid that I felt like I would even pee in my pants if Aiden were to attack me all of a sudden. But he didn't do any of that. He simply smiled and said, I choose you as my wife. I looked at him in confusion. What did he mean he chose me as his wife! I wasn't here to attend the mating ceremony, okay I was already suffering because of my psychopathic ex boyfriend, who was probably dead now! I wanted time to heal myself before I could get married! But I really couldn't help but curse this mating ritual. Every year, it was necessary for all the singles to join the ceremony between the age group of 18-25. After that, even if you were single, no one would even look at you. That was why this mating ritual was famous among youth werewolves. But I wanted to stay far away from this place. I already was facing a trauma because of Sebastian's control freakiness. Now I had lost all faith over relationships altogether. For me, places like mating rituals were just considered as social suicide. I wouldn't lose all of my freedom, and again fall into the traps of depression like before. That was why I wanted to reject Aiden's proposal. Sir...I- I had just opened my mouth when I saw Aiden's eyes flashing darkly as he squinted his eyes at me. Are you refusing me Suddenly, a cold aura surrounded him, making me frightened as a dried leaf. ...No. I reluctantly said no. Even though I didn't want to be with this guy, I still wanted to survive. It seemed like if I were to refuse today, only my dead body would be able to leave this mating camp. Wait, where was Sebastian I frowned and looked behind Aiden only to find that the crowd had dispersed. Only a few people were still staring at me with disgust in their eyes. I knew why they were disgusted. I belonged to a werewolf pack residing in the town, which wasn't really famous among werewolves. Many reasons were there. First, in my town, werewolves worked with humans, and lived among them. So the pack wasn't really a pack filled with werewolves. Even though the humans didn't know about the existence of werewolves, the situation was still harmonious. But the other packs filled werewolves hated such a thing. They hated associating with humans, and despised werewolves residing in the town. So it was surprising to see that a few girls were eyeing me with weird eyes. I pursed my lips, trying to hide my mood that was already sinking lower because of their gazes. I had always hated it when people would look at me like I was a freak. Just then, Aiden pulled me closer, and hoisted me up in a bridal style. I squealed. Put me down! Everyone should know that you belong to me. So they won't dare to look at you like that. So Aiden noticed It seemed this person wasn't as the rumors say.
