Married to My Mate's Enemy

Chapter 3: Mate’s enemy

Ann’s pov

I was tongue tight, he is right, what do I have to offer him? I am just some girl who doesn’t even have a wolf. I am basically human, in front of these gods I felt like nothing, that confidence I had was now completely gone. I had to remind myself over and over again why I even came here to begin with.

“Please, I am begging you to save my mate.” I said looking at the Lycan King. he was wearing a mask so I couldn’t tell what he was thinking at all in that moment. He was quiet for a while, I guess he was done talking because honestly what else could he say? He asked me what it is I have to offer, and the truth is nothing.

“I asked you something, why should I? What is it that you can offer me if I agree to save him?” he asked me again and still I couldn’t respond. Looking around his mansion and the clothes he was wearing I can’t offer him money because he obviously has more than I do.

“Anything, whatever you want, just tell me what it that you want, and I will do it.” I replied. The girl standing next to him, I think she is his mate or girlfriend, I don’t think I have heard anything about the Lycan king being married.

“Didn’t you hear what he said? he said no so leave while we are still being kind.” she said with a frown.

“Honestly, little girl, we just killed another werewolf, and killing a weak she-wolf isn’t that fun anyways.” the other man standing on the right side said.

How can people talk about death like it’s not a big deal? He really did seem bored, like the idea of killing a weak she-wolf isn’t really thrilling to him. They almost looked disappointed as they were looking at me and I felt even more smaller than I had already did.

“Get out now.” the girl said coming closer to me, I looked at them and there was nothing I could do.

“Please help me, please I am begging you.” I said, and they didn’t even look affected by my tears. Hell, I have been crying ever since I entered this office but nothing, I don’t think my tears would move monsters like them. I looked up, if they can’t help me then I might as well tell them a piece of my mind. if my mate is going to die and I will die with him.

“You really are monsters, you are evil and vile.” I said, and he didn’t even react. Maybe it’s because I couldn’t see his eyes, it’s almost as if everything doesn’t affect them. Emotions are in someone's eyes so it’s hard to tell what he is thinking without seeing it in his eyes.

“You werewolves are all the same, get out.” the girl said ready to drag me out, but I got up myself and looked at him.

“I understand why you would want him dead, is because he is twice the man that you are. Normal men would want to face their enemy on the battlefield, but you would have him die like this? why? because you fear him?” I asked him. I didn’t want for an answer and turned around to leave, I took a few steps but then he spoke up.

“Stop.” he said. Is it because I bruised his ego with the truth? People like him don’t like hearing the truth.

I turned around and looked at him, I thought he would be fuming with anger but no. he was smiling, his plump lips curled upwards in what seemed like a smirk or a smile, but I couldn’t tell the difference.

“Then marry me.” he said, and I looked at him confused.

Did he just say marry me? I thought that maybe I didn’t hear him correctly but judging from his girlfriend and beta’s looks I heard him.

“I said marry me Little red fox.” he repeated himself and this time he got up from his chair. I said the first thing that came to my mind.

“You know I am Conan’s mate and fiancé; you know I love him so why would you ask such a thing?” I asked him. I looked at the girl standing next to him, wasn’t she, his girlfriend? So why would he ask me such a thing? Why would he ask me to marry him in front of her, hell why would he even ask me this?

“Why?” I asked him and he just shrugged and then sat on the edge of the large table.

“Your mate is the reason I lost my mate; you marry me, or your mate dies. It’s your choice, what is it going to be? Are you going to marry your mate’s enemy to save his life?” he asked with a smirk this time. I am certain it was a smirk; this son of b***h is smiling at my misery and desperation.

“I would never marry a man like you, I would rather die.” I said, and he shrugged and gestured that they drag me out. The girl held my hand painfully tight might I add and showed me the door, as I was walking away my mate’s pale face came to mind.

Conan is going to die; my Conan will die, and they won’t care or even be affected by it at all. I will feel the pain, those around me will feel the pain and werewolves will suffer and this is exactly what these monsters want. But I also can’t allow him to use me to hurt my mate, but I can’t let Conan die.

I turned around and he hadn’t even moved an inch like he knew that I was going to turn around. The girl let me go, I looked at the two of them and they were surprising, they seemed as shocked as I was but none of them questioned him. They just stood there and listened to what he was saying, were they that scared of him? Hell, I don’t have a wolf yet, but I can tell by just looking that he is probably five times stronger than them.

“How do I trust you?” I asked him and he smiled, this time it was a real smile, but it was also scary at the same time. Is it possible for someone to be that good looking and scary at the same time? I thought scary people are the hideous type that you can’t even look at.

“I am not asking for your trust.” he replied, and I knew he was just telling me that there is no way I can trust him.

“We are guessing you are going to have to take the risk.” the guy who was on his right said.

A risk, this is about the life of a man I love more than anything.

I looked at the Lycan King, I have never really felt this helpless in my entire life. Not when I woke up and they told me my parents are dead, his father killed my parents and yet here he is. This man is telling me that the only way to save a person I love is if I married him, if I married a monster that I hate and fear. Moon goddess, aren’t you happy yet? Aren’t you happy yet with making me miserable and weak? First, my parents died, then I didn’t get my wolf and now this, aren’t you satisfied yet? Why do I have to be the one to go through this? Why do I have to suffer like this?

I looked at them, they didn’t care, no way cared about me, but they all cared about Conan. He must live; he will make an amazing King one day and the only way that can happen is if he lives. And I know my Conan, he will find a way to save me, and I won’t ever stop running back to him no matter what.

I looked at him, “yes.” I said, and they all seemed really surprised that they didn’t even try to hide it.

“What? Did you just say yes? You do know what that means, right? It means you won't live with your so-called mate and the man you can’t live without.” the girl said adding my words to it.

“Yes, and it means you will stay here, with us, the monsters you mentioned.” the guy said also mimicking me when he said that.

“It means that you will be my wife.” the Lycan King said, and I nodded because I am aware of what I had just got myself into, but I am okay with it.

“Yes, I am well aware.” I said and the Lycan King got up and started walking towards me, but I stood my ground.

“Why?” he asked, and I could tell that he was curious.

“Because I would rather die than live in a world without him. If he Is alive, I will be content, I don’t care if I am a million miles away. If he breathes the same oxygen, then I will be happy.” I replied.

I couldn’t tell him that it was also because I would plot my way out of this marriage now, could I? I don’t think that’s something he would appreciate hearing. It won’t change anything will it? I can never live with a man like him, never in my life can I live with a monster like him. How can I live as husband and wife with a monster I hate?
