Chapter three

In the end, I didn't get to see what had happened to Sebastian. I didn't even have enough time to think about it because I was being forced to do the mating ceremony without my consent! I was furious, but equally afraid. Who could afford to go against this murderer! Aiden would repeatedly throw warning glances at me every time I thought about escaping the mating ritual ground. I could only grind my teeth and stand beside Aiden, trembling in fear. A few girls showed pity on me seeing how Aiden seemed to be stuck on my so much so that he dragged me toward the mating ceremony ground, and made me stand right before the bishop, as the latter recited sacred prayer. Ahh! I didn't want my marriage to be like this! I was afraid, and didn't want to get married! But I couldn't move, and ended up really getting married. After the ritual, the Bishop spoke the words that I dreaded the most. You can kiss the bride. My eyes widened. I didn't want to kiss Aiden! Someone, save me please! I glanced at the crowd with pleading eyes, but everyone ignored me. There was no one who could oppose Aiden. Only Sebastian was a unique case, and since he was beaten badly, no one wanted to follow the latter's example. I smiled bitterly as a teardrop fell from my eyes. I didn't want any of this. It was all Sebastian's fault! If he hadn't come to my door, seeking me, I wouldn't have run away to this dreaded place! Everyone here could see that Aiden was forcing me to get married to him, but no one protested. It was as if they were seeing someone doing a crime, but they would avert their eyes guiltily and act as if nothing had happened. Suddenly, a thumb wiped my tears. I looked up to see Aiden's smiling face. We can skip the last stage. I was stunned seeing his generous act. Was he really doing this for me I stared at him in a daze for a long time before shaking my head. Impossible! This man was famous for being cruel. He must have just acted like a generous person! What else could I believe at this time I absolutely couldn't let myself believe that such a monstrous person could have a generous heart. Not after experiencing my relationship with Sebastian. After all the rituals were finished, I sat on the backseat of a car, sulking all the time. My depressed mood could easily be seen even from a distance, but no one dared to come and comfort me. Some of them were still sneering at me, knowing well about my family background. While others were innately afraid of Aiden, especially after what he had done to Sebastian. I ignored them, and kept my head down. Ever since I was a kid, I was habitual of seeing such kinds of people, mocking me because of where I lived. It wasn't like I was too lazy to say anything, but I lacked confidence to actually stand up to myself. If I were confident enough, I wouldn't have fallen to such a state today due to my previous relationship. I sighed. Do you want this Aiden asked me as he sat beside me on the backseat. I raised my eyes to look at the can of drink in his hand and shook my head. Not even a drink could cheer me up today. I could already imagine my miserable life. But before that, I wanted to know the extent of Aiden's psychopathic nature. I hesitated before parting my lips. What did you do to Sebastian My voice was meek and low enough to be considered as a whisper. I thought you'd never ask. A smirk formed on his lips. It would be better if we say he's going to be cripple if he fails to get any immediate hospitalized care. The answer was really vague, but I could tell that Sebastian was probably beaten to the point of being half-dead. I paled thinking of that. Did that mean I'd end up crippled if I accidentally managed to anger Aiden I couldn't help but tremble at that. Just then, Aiden suddenly flicked his fingers on my forehead, again. So annoying! Did he think he was Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto I glared at him, and moved away, staring at the window angrily. When we reached the Endoro pack, I finally realized why Aiden could appear on the front page of werewolf magazine every year despite being so cruel hearted. I could only describe the entrance of the pack as extravagant. Everything screamed the world rich loudly in my ears. There was a red carpet just at the entrance as the silver colored large gate opened wide. Surrounding it, many people stood, craning their necks to look at my face. I lowered my head and shifted behind Aiden. God, this was embarrassing! How did I end up becoming the centre of attention all of a sudden! I hated it! Not to mention, I didn't even want this marriage! But I couldn't voice out my words. These people were probably Aiden's fans. How could they listen to my pleas They would rather follow this cold and ruthless psychopath blindly. I walked with him for half an hour before we reached his place. For a human, walking for thirty minutes could make them exhausted, but I was stronger than a human being since I was a werewolf. And when I reached his house, I hung my jaw wide open. I had never seen such a luxurious place in my life! His living room had a big grey colored sofa and. Large LCD TV on the wall. Posters and arts were decorating the walls on either side. Only one side was open to let us enter directly into the dining room, kitchen, and bedroom. There was also a spiral staircase, leading to the second floor with metal railings. Everything was either grey or white, making it look sparkly. You like it Aiden leaned at the front door, looking amused after seeing my reaction. That's when I realized I had been gawking at his place. I closed my mouth and pursed my lips. Where's the bedroom Upstairs. I instantly ran upstairs, and closed the door behind me. I really needed some time alone. I saw the bed, and jumped on it, covering myself with layers of quilt. It was already even by the time my phone rang, and I woke up with a jolt. Without even looking at the caller ID, I accepted the call. Who's this So you seem to have already forgotten me, my dear. My eyes opened wide at that. I couldn't believe it. Why was Sebastian calling me Hadn't Aiden made him half-dead already Why was he still awake, calling me in the evening Before I could say anything, Sebastian chuckled and said, Don't worry dear, I'm still alive and kicking. Don't you want to see me No! I screamed in my heart, but couldn't dare to voice out my thoughts. Aiden must be busy with his work. How did he know that I frowned and listened. So be a good girl and quietly come out of the backdoor of your house. Walk toward the forest, and there, about half a mile away from Endoro pack, you will find a black Audi. Sit in the car. I didn't want to, but I didn't have much confidence to voice out my protests. I just lowered my head. My lower lips were quivering in fear. After a moment of silence, I heard Sebastian sighing. If you don't listen to me, I'd burn your precious teddy bear, Donald. My eyes widened at that. When did this guy get his hands at my teddy bear! This was too much! This teddy bear was special to me, since it was the last birthday gift I had ever received from my father before he died! Tears formed in my eyes. No...don't… That's my girl. His voice on the phone seemed to cheer up after hearing my words. Now hurry up. I'm waiting. I didn't have a choice but to follow this guy's command. I hated him to death! I gritted my teeth and was about to turn off the phone when he said, Don't turn it off. I want to hear the sound of your breathing. Then he acted like he had really heard something wonderful and moaned. It makes me feel high. I shivered at that. Why! Why was this happening to me! I really didn't want to see this psychopath! But when I thought about another psychopath who forced me to get married to him, I couldn't help but feel helpless. I didn't know where to go. Was my control freak ex better than my current cruel and ruthless husband I frowned, and shook my head. What the hell was I thinking! I had to meet Sebastian and get back my teddy bear! That was my last memory of my father! I absolutely couldn't let him burn it just like that! But my bad luck seemed to be very high today. Just as I had stepped my foot toward the direction of the forest, I saw someone who I thought was working. It was Aiden. He squinted his eyes at me. Do I have to remind you that you're married to me I trembled under his gaze, and took a step back. I felt somewhat guilty for going to Sebastian, but I had legit purpose! I wasn't really cheating! I knew I should've told him about the phone call, but I couldn't even open my mouth. Aiden seemed to see through my expressions, and he walked toward me, taking my phone in his hands. Stay away from my girl. I left you alive because I didn't want to give Bella a scare. But I've lost my patience. If I hear from you ever again, I'd destroy your entire pack. You hear me The other person was silent for a while before I heard him scoffing. So be it. Both of you will regret what you did today! And he cut off the phone. My heart sank at that. Now, not only Sebastian had my teddy bear, but he also seemed to be very angry at me! Would he really do something to me! I couldn't help but tremble. Why were you going to him Aiden's cold voice made me flinch. Right, I had forgotten that I was married to another psychopath. I pursed my lips, and lowered my head. Aiden's eyes flashed some unfathomable emotion, and he quickly covered, sighing. He ruffled my head. He was blackmailing you, wasn't he For now, I'll keep your phone to make sure he doesn't contact you again. He paused and parted his lips again. Don't dare to meet that guy. I'm warning you. I kept my head lowered, and didn't say anything, only trembled in fear. I didn't know this guy, and all I've heard about it was from the rumors among my peers. Even the humans, who didn't know about the werewolf background, whispered among themselves back where I used to work as a waitress that Aiden was very cruel! Looks like those people were right. My husband was perhaps too cruel. I wondered what my future would look like. Or would I even have a future
