Arranged marriage to an egotistic vampire... What could go wrong??

Proposals... But Is It A Happily Ever After??

Proposals... But Will It Be A Happy Ever After??

When glass began to break I stopped screaming and stared at James in astonishment. "You want to marry me?"

"Technically we're already married because when I turned you I stated I was turning my bride... In vampire law that means we're married but you want a traditional human wedding and that's what you'll get... If you say yes." His tone showed that he was as vulnerable in this as I was... And that made my heart warm to him.

"But we've hardly known each other for long." I was going to carry on but he began shaking his head at me.

"I've told you that once I found my soul mate then I wouldn't let her go. I meant it. I love you and want to be married to you by human standards as well as vampiric standards. So, will you marry me?"

l knew how preposterous his idea was but I couldn't help the elation in my heart at the thought of marrying him... Even if we hadn't known each other for long. "Yes! Of course I'll marry you!!!"

He smiled at me and gently put the ring on my finger. "Mrs Rose Jamerson." He muttered and began to frown when I froze.

"Jamerson?" I questioned and looked at him. "You'd already married her?"

I snatched my hand away and stood up. "You told me you were just engaged!" I slapped him hard across the face which made him stand up as well.

"No..." He began.

"You did tell me you were just engaged so don't try and tell me otherwise!!!" I yelled but didn't want to take the beautiful silver ring off of my finger.

"Listen to me for once Rose!!!" He bellowed back and that halted all thought processes in my head. "I love you. I wasn't married to her. She took my last name so people would think we were already married and wouldn't try to marry her themselves. THAT'S ALL!!!" He rubbed a hand over his face and then ran it through his hair out of frustration.

"So you weren't married to her?" I asked warily.

"No. I asked you to marry me and you're the only person i've ever asked." He pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly.

"How do I know you're not lying to me like Alexander did though? How do I know you don't love Jezzebella and not me? How-" His lips came crashing down on mine silencing my protests.

"Because I walked away from Jezzebella, but I'm not going to walk away from you no matter what." He stated into my eyes and I could have gladly strangled Jezzebella for what she had done to him to hurt him so much...

*********hundreds of years ago*********

"I can't believe I've done this to him!" I buried my head in my pillow and quietly sobbed while Alexander carried on chuckling to himself next to me.

"You didn't love him and you love me. What's the point in mourning over a lost love that never existed?" He sounded so logical and that infuriated me!

I punched his bare chest and turned my back to him, which was hard to do in my single bed with a naked man next to me.

"He's still my fiancé and this would crush him if he found out Alexander and I will not do that to him." I sat up and pulled the covers up to cover up my bare chest.

He hugged my waist and pulled me against him. "It's not wrong when it felt so wrong my love."

"That doesn't count! Jeremiah won't see it that way and I shouldn't be seeing it that way!" I got up out of bed and began to dress in a fresh dress.

"What are you doing my love?" Alexander asked me in a sultry voice from my bed, where he laid completely unabashed about his nakedness.

"Getting dressed and pretending that last night did not happen." I muttered as I searched around for pins to pin my hair up.
