Emily's POV
I don't know if it is my bad luck or if the moon goddess is not on my side today. After the dance I had with Tyler, my father made me do this rotational dance, you know, the one where you exchange partners on the dance floor. According to him, it will make me find someone faster.
Honestly, I feel bad saying this but the dance I had with Tyler was the best dance I had all through that night. I mean, he could keep a good conversation. I mean, what is wrong with these men? Can't they say something reasonable?
The first one, he said his name is Austin or so. The conversation started well and he seemed like someone from a nice family till I asked him what he does and he told me he works for his father. I just became uninterested. How will a daddy's boy understand who I am and what I do?
The next one was Adam, he kept on looking at me like I was food or something, at a point I thought he was on drugs then I figured it out, he was a Casanova.
By the time I got to the third person, I wasn't listening anymore. Don't get me wrong people, I am not picky but I just want someone I can relate with. Most of the alphas, betas, and omegas are lazy, too lazy to make something for themselves, they would rather work for their father, be jobless, or a pervert and I can't stand any of these. I always imagined myself beating them up in our marriage.
The dance ended and I was still the same, no husband, and the party was coming to an end. I could already see my father's face. He will not spare me.
"So, how did it go?" Amelia asked immediately after I came to her side.
"Not good."
There was silence.
"So, what happens next?" she asked.
"I will figure something out."
The party ended and I had no suitor. I was a little bit scared; I will not lie but what would I have done; I can't just bring anyone.
I went upstairs about to change when one of the maids called me down by my father. I went down. He was just standing there, watching as they cleaned up the place. I went to his side and stood.
"Found anyone?" he asked not even turning to look at me. is he angry with me?
"Unfortunately, no one at the party reached my standard," I said, trying so hard to hide my fear. I said that with the straightest tone I could find in me.
He chuckled dryly, "You thought I was bluffing?" he said with a low voice.
At that point, I felt goosebumps all over me. then he looked me dead in the eye and asked, "I can do what I want now right?"
I didn't know what to say. I have never seen him like this. it made me scared, really scared.
"You will marry Leo."
"Dad, what are you talking about? Leo is already married remember?"
"I know, I am sure he will have no problem with having another wife."
"But Dad, I won't be his wife I will be his mistress. I will be a home breaker." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Was this really my father?
"So?" was all he asked.
I was shocked. This is not the father I know. What the hell did Leo tell him to make this kind of decision? I thought this was a joke. He was probably playing tricks on me but when I saw the seriousness in his eyes, I didn't know what to feel.
"But father, I am next in line to red dawn pack. I am an alpha! you can't do this to me!" I didn't know when I yelled. Was he really serious? Was I going to be a second wife?
"I will finalize the date and tell you." He said with a smile and went upstairs. He stopped halfway, turned, and called out for me, "And Emily,"
I thought he would change his mind, knowing that this was wrong. I thought he would come and tell me he was just joking and just wanted to pressure me to find a husband but I heard something entirely different that broke my heart.
"If by any chance you do anything, anything at all to ruin this, I will make sure you get something worse." He said in a firm tone and left.
I didn't know what to think or do at that moment. It was like my life was falling apart in one moment. I know my father; he always keeps his word. I almost fell out of shock but luckily, one of the maids held me tight.
"Are you okay, my lady?" she said holding me till I could keep my feet on the ground.
I gathered myself, "Yes I am fine."
I went to the garage immediately, grabbed one of the keys, and drove to the nearest club I could find. I needed a drink so badly and I just wanted to take my mind off everything.
I can't remember how much I drank; I stopped counting by the time I took my 15th shot of tequila. Well, don't blame me, I just got the news that I will be a second wife, what am I supposed to do? Yeah, I was feeling really shitty that night.
All of a sudden, I started feeling anxious, like someone was watching. Lyla, my wolf could notice it too. I stood up immediately and left the club. I didn't want to fight anyone, especially not tonight.
I can't remember exactly what happened but I know I fought with a few guys, I know they tried to take me somewhere but Lyla and I fought as hard as I could get escape. I remember running towards a hotel near the club and I remember bumping into someone but that was it.
I woke up the next morning with a raging headache and a bad hangover. I looked around and I was in the hotel room, I tried to get up but I noticed I was naked under the sheets, fully naked. What happened last night? I started to recall everything but I couldn't remember what happened after I ran into the hotel. Right! I bumped into someone but who? I looked to my side and I saw a guy sleeping peacefully naked under the sheets. Wait, could it be…? No! I tossed the sheets out immediately and I saw the little drops of blood, my blood; plus, I was sore down there.
I didn't know what to think or do at that moment. Did I sleep with this guy? What if he has STDs? What the heck happened last night?
I looked closer at the guy in question and I couldn't believe it.
"Tyler?" I whispered out of shock. What? How?
Of all the people I had to share my first night with, it is this guy?
"Wake up!" I yelled at him, "Wake up you asshole!"
I hit him as hard as I could but he wasn't waking up. I was so angry that I wasn't thinking. I wrapped myself with the sheets, leaving him bare, went to the bathroom, got a whole bowl of water, and poured the whole thing on his face. he woke up immediately.
"What the fuck happened last night?" I asked him. "Answer me! what the fuck happened last night?!" I asked again yelling. He looked more confused than I was. He looked at me confused.
"Emily? What are you doing here? And why are you naked?"
"No, the right question is why are WE naked?" I spoke back to him
He looked at himself and when he finally noticed, he immediately used the bed sheets to cover himself.
"Still, what are you doing here? This is my hotel room, I booked it, so why are you here? And what happened last night? Don't tell me we…"
When I realized, he was as clueless as I was, I immediately got dressed and left. Thankfully, my car was still in sight. I got in and drove home. I needed time to process what just happened to me.
Did I just have a one-night stand?
