No. No. No. No. I could deal with the fact that my dad was going to kill me later. I could deal with the fact that I had probably made a fool out of myself in front of everyone present. I could even deal with anything and everything else in this world right this second. What I could absolutely not deal with was a...my mate.
"Mande? Uh, you got me confused with someone else. Later.", but as I tried to flee from his grasp Aura spoke up.
He's telling the truth. He's our mate.
Like hell he is! I don't even feel sparks or even the slightest bit of attraction towards him.
Well I don't know what's wrong with you but I'm telling you that he's our mate! I can feel his wolf.
"Oh crap. I mean, nice to meet you mate. I'm currently busy so I'll...catch you...later? Maybe? Bye.", but the freaken jerk wouldn't budge. I gave up trying to escape and he let me go, but not completely, he left his hand firmly gripped on my forearm.
I look up to see my father walking towards us and feel my ''mate's" grip on my arm vanish. "Well this is surely an unexpected surprise. Conner leave what I asked you to go for later and go get in line with all the other girls.", he said while giving me a shove in the direction of the stage.
"No."
"Huh?", they both said, obviously confused. "I said no, this whole thing is stupid. How is it that a ring determines my value as a person?", I asked.
"Conner it's tradition, now GO.", my father said, or more like ordered, but I wasn't going to have that. "Tradition my behind, whatever dad.", I said getting frustrated," I'll tell you want we're going to do. First of all, mate what's your name?", I turned to look at my mate.
"Liam Caldin." Great my mate was the son of the Alpha from a few packs over.
"Okay Liam, here's how this whole thing is going to go down. You will have exactly ten seconds to either accept or reject me, I will respect your decision regardless of what it will be. But if by the end of those ten seconds you don't decide anything I will reject you and you will accept my rejection. Then and only then will I go and get my ring, and no matter what my ring shows you cannot change your decision, if you accept me right now you can't reject me afterwords and vice-versa if you reject me now you can't accept me later. Oh and my full name is Conner Delian. Clear? Great, so here goes. Ten...Nine...Eight...Seven...Six...Five...Four...Thr-,"
"I, Liam Caldin, accept you Conner Delian as my mate."
