Who the hell was this Leo guy? Ava was really disappointed by the thought. Why did she just managed to get out of one damn arrangement only to have another one come her way so soon? Couldn't they let her enjoy her life in peace, even for a moment?
Meanwhile, Samantha and Lindsey were very happy to learn that the Ultima gave the mating arrangement his approval.
But when they heard that the groom of the mating ceremony was an alpha named Leo, their facial expressions were like smashed eggplants.
"What's the matter? Is there a problem with this guy?" Ava asked in curiosity. She searched the memory of the original owner, but couldn't find anything significant. The two had never met before, so there was no information about him.
Ava wasn't surprised at all. The deceased girl was an introvert who had no interest in the affairs of the world.
"Miss, that might be a problem!" Samantha said with a worried look.
"Why?"
"Miss, not only is he crippled, but I also heard..." Samantha hesitated for a long time, still unable to speak.
Lindsey sighed beside her, and then said. "Miss, there's a rumor that not only are his legs paralyzed, but he is also vicious wolf-blood, completely inhumane."
He was inhumane? Thinking of this, she smiled bitterly, and said. "Isn't this great?"
"Miss, what's good about this?"
"If this Leo guy is as savage as you said, how is this different from entering an average marriage in the old days?"
Samantha and Lindsey looked at their young lady with wide-eyed eyes. The young lady wasn't really frightened about a permanent life with a vicious wolf-blood, of the royal house? After mating ceremonies, there was no going back, unless one of them died.
They believed something must be seriously wrong with her. Ever since the fire, the young lady's behavior had been questionable. Could it be that the fire not only damage our young lady's face, but also her brain?
Ava looked at their dumbfounded expressions, and was secretly amused. "Don't worry, I believe that nothing bad will happen to me."
As the mate of her future life, Ava specifically inquired about Leo and the Maddison family, and felt that the arranged alpha was just what she wanted. Nonetheless, she concluded it would be better if she didn't get mated now.
Although Leo was of the royal house, uncontrollable circumstances made him grew up in the unit of the dead meta alpha, Wallace Warren. The Warren family was very famous in the city, and Wallace was a respected wolf-blood.
Their house fought against wolf units and vampires from other communities, throughout their lives, defended their homes, and repelled countless threats.
It was a pity that his father, died young. Neither of his parents lived beyond the age of forty. When Wallace died from the canine injuries in battle, Leo was only sixteen years old.
The members of the Warren family were generally fewer in number. So, a few years after the death of Wallace, his wife, Pamela, who happened to be the sister of the Ultima himself, also died of depression, probably.
Since then, Leo had become the leader of the Warren family unit. It had been seven years since the incident, but the people in the community still couldn't forget it.
At that time, red werewolves from the badlands invaded them. The whole community was alarmed and the grey wolf-bloods were afraid. If the barricade at the New York bridge was broken, their safety would be in danger.
As an alpha, and the known predecessor to the house of Warren, Leo was deployed to help man the bridge. He was badly injured when he returned. Despite the best efforts of the best available doctors, his legs practically became crippled, and had remained indoors since.
Although Ava had never seen Leo before, through these descriptions, she could still imagine how proud a werewolf Leo was before the fact that his legs were rendered disabled. As an alpha wolf, how could he bear it?
But for her, Leo really sounded and looked a better candidate than Alvis anyway. Both parents were dead, and the people in their villa were few in number?
Then it showed that the personnel relations of the house were simple, so she didn't need to worry much about the members of the pack and family unit.
Cold hearted and unfeeling, with indifferent personality? So did it mean that there would be plenty of free space for her to be left alone in her future marriage life?
But just as Ava secretly made her own small calculations, another news came.
Leo had asked the Ultima for an order, that due to his physical circumstances, he implored the Ultima to stay the mating ceremonies by one year. When he recovered without any problems, then he would marry according to the Ultima's order.
When Ava heard this news, she gave the guy a thumbs up. Look at how good people said what they said. If one year later the body still did not recover, the marriage date could naturally be delayed further.
After all, no one could guarantee when prince Leo's body would recover, and to what extent he would be able to marry.
Since Leo was so compassionate to her, she naturally wanted to appreciate him. It was just that other people might not think so, such as Angela and Audrey given that Audrey was about to marry into royal house too, the mother and daughter had recently become more rampant in their irritable behaviors.
Seeing that Ava actually didn't even look down on them for having a crippled down-and-out wolf-blood as a future mate, who deliberately delayed the mating arrangement, it was on many occasions she was mocked openly and secretly.
Their arrogance in front of Ava became more and more vivid.
Mr. Smiths was not concerned about Leo's delay in this mating ceremony. He didn't even care much about this eldest daughter of his in the first place.
Anyway, the Ultima's command for marriage had been issued. So, there was no difference to him.
Although Angela had guessed right about Leo's thoughts, she was still a little bit jealous of Leo's decision to marry Ava. So she keenly watched the event as it unfolded.
