" Your chosen partner is a werewolf, an alpha of the moonlit pack"
Irene felt like lying on the ground and crying while rolling over because of what her mother Florence had said.
She doesn't want to get married, she doesn't care about the marriage that her mother was speaking Of !
Irene secretly grunts in her heart, yes, she knows that werewolf and humans have been living together for like a millennium in peace.
Human and werewolf high schoolers could go to school together, chat and talk and be friends or even date their self off if they care
The point was that werewolf and human Communities were doing just fine.
Irene,wishes her overbearing mother could just understand that she just wants to flex life and live it all fun, and not just turn out to be someone's wife and an alpha werewolf for that matter!
She had heart about how alpha werewolves are aggressive and very possessive with their love interest , Irene face crunches with just the thought of it. she doesn't want some wild hunk sniffing her neck off every time while biting it, Or he being aggressive with every male friends that she might be closed to
Held are mother shoulder by the side , making her gaze meet with hers she tells her "mom I'm a big girl aren't I to be the one to find a partner for myself "
Irene wanted to keep the appearance of an obedient child while talking to her mother, in her heart she secretly rolled her eyes. She simply finds marriage boring and uninteresting. It would ruin her college life.
,She imagined all those fun parties and clubbing call gone ,
Only if her chosen partner was not an alpha, just maybe she might have reconsidered it.
Irene mother was not ready to hear what Irene was going to say , her heart that was getting soft became more firm , she smiled towards Irene,"dear daughter if you don't accept this marriage you are going to be going off to military school,"
she chuckles tapping Irene's shoulders ,a very warm gesture she showed and continued, " the women in my family are meant to accept the marriage of the partner that was given to them.
just like your father it was mother that closed him for me," Irene mother smiled once more,"
look, isn't your father a better man, so that's why a no is not accepted coming from you!"
Irene's eyes twitch, with crystal tears threatening to come out from her eyes. She felt sad, her mother couldn't understand her , why must she force her to do what she does not .
She has always played the obedient daughter, agreeing with whatever her mother tells her , but now , when it reached her turn, her mother refused to empathize with her .
Florence's cold shoulders that she had put on almost fell off when she saw Irene sad, but she wanted to keep that strict image of herself that she had built for years.
" you can go to your room and think about it, maybe your mind will be more clear on it"
Florence felt like giving Irene a comforting hug to her after saying harsh words .
But she bites her lips stubbornly and walks to her office , leaving her heels clicking on the fancy tiles and Irene , with drowning shoulders, standing alone .
The moment Florence left, not less than a minute the dreadful look on Irene's face was wiped off.
She smiled and pulled off her phone while walking to her room, she had got good news to share with her best friend Jessica.
Irene, on her big wide bed, held her phone and dialed Jessica's number not once but twice.
It took minutes, the line when through and Jessica excited voice ran on the phone
"What's up girl, what's popping "
"Nothing's popping girl" Irene rolled her eyes, playing with her manicured nails as she waited for Jessica to beg her for more news and excitement.
Like she predicted, Jessica over the phone sounded more enthusiastic as if she could guess that her friend was playing with her.
"Come on girl spill the tea don't hide it from me" she cooed.
Irene rolled her eyes and smiled, deciding to spill the tea.
"My mother wants me to get married, and I don't wanna ~"
Irene complained like a person who wasn't being sassy just now.
Jessica , on the phone, took a deep breath and thought for a moment before saying," your mother is forcing you to marry. What about your brother, won't you, tell him to do something about it"
Irene thought about her brother, it was a difficult case.
"Jessica, don't you remember what Jason did , about the last time when we needed ten gallons of red ink that looked like blood for our practical class , and .."
Irene said and trailed off
Jessica eyes widened as she remembered ,her voice sounded more cautious, she recalled it clearly,"yes we asked for ten gallons of red ink that looks like blood but your brother brought ten gallons of actual blood!"
"Yes, my brother is not a nice choice " Irene nodded , tapping her thigh with disappointment, she thought, was there no way of her totally escaping this marriage.
Jessica over the phone said again to her friend," look there's no hope gone , let me just put it , that you are hopeless right now , you know your Mom she's like an angry T-Rex.. you need to just go with the flow"
Irene jumped from her bed that instance after what Jessica had said ,
Her voice rang in Jessica's ears,"what you… mean you are totally giving up on me ? That I should just follow what my mother said?!!"
"Yes Irene just calm down and follow what your mother said nothing worse could come out of it "
Jessica calmed herself down and told Irene again, she knows that her friend has her own dreams , wishes and all.
But , she can't lose the ten billion that Florence promised her If she succeeds in convincing Irene of this marriage .
Irene couldn't believe Jessica, she was still shocked, she thought that Jessica would support her in this , but what was going on with her friend.
Irene took a Deep breath trying to relieve herself to understand deeper to what Jessica was implying, so she fell on the bed like a dead fish before rolling her eyes, As if Jessica were there.
"Go girl what do you want to say" she hum
"Come on look into the hot alpha dude your mom chose for you maybe you are going to like him "
"Are you sure really "
Jessica ended the call before Irene could say anything else and change her mind.
Like magic , what Jessica said about checking out the social media of her chosen alpha, came like a temptation to Irene , her
Well manicured hands couldn't help but move and search for her alpha social media
