Chapter 20
“Excuse me” say looking at the two little strangers Infront of me.
They have now cause an audience, something I am trying to avoid.
They both come and hug me. Okay this is creepy!
What the heck!
They wouldn’t be more than 7 years.
“Whose kids are these?” ask around but no one answers, they are all gossiping among themselves.
“Crystal?“Another voice says and 1 groan.
I look up to see a middle age man coming towards us.
He doesn’t look familiar but he would be in his early forty’s and from the way he carried himself he will be an Alpha.
“Sorry…I am her twin sister. Crystalise“I give him a fake smile.
“See daddy,I told you I found mummy” the girl says happily
“Stop it. Come her Dera, she isn’t your mom” he says and looks at me with apologetic eyes but there was longing inside them.
“What is going on here?“Zander’s voice booms from behind me.
“Alpha Zander. It is just misunderstanding over here“the unnamed man says.
“Misunderstanding? Your kids just called my mate their mon. This is more than a misunderstanding Alpha Kins” Zander says
“Can…can we speak about this in private please” I say not wanting another fight or the audience crowding us more
than this.
“Yeah, I think we need to talk about this privately“Alpha Kins says.
“Fine. But not today or here. Today is a special day for us and I don’t want to ruin it“Zander says and begins to drag me away.
“Mom! Mummy!“the kids keep shouting as I leave with Zander and their father tries to calm them down.
“You better have a good explanation for this?! I don’t believe you’ll have a child or children out of wedlock!” Zander hisses.
“There is a clear misunderstanding Alpha. They thought I was Crystal“I answer him and he stiffens.
“And what is that supposed to mean?“he grits out stopping in his tracks.
“I have no idea. Can you keep walking we don’t want audience or are you going to hit me again?“I ask tauntingly.
He stays there for a while still holding my gaze and I didn’t back down this time round.
He sighs and shakes his head, “you are right, there are audience. Now let’s go and make our announcement “he smiles but it is clearly forced.
He placed his hand on the small of my back and leads me to the stage. He grabs two glass of wine and hands one

He uses the fork against the glass to gain their attention,once everyone was looking at him with their undivided attention he begins to speak.
“Thank you all for coming here and honoring our invitation Today is very special day in the history of the White moon pack. As you all know my first mate and love was taken away from me cruelly but the moon goddess decided to bless me with another mate. The goddess is great, she is to other than my late wife’s twin sister, Crystalise Gun. So, today we are here to celebrate our engagement and aungunce our marriage will be happening a week from now. Toast to a happy and fruitful life. “he raises his glass and so did 1 with fake smile plastered on my face.
I am like a robot being told what to do, I take a sip of my wine before Zander pulls me to his chest and his lips descends on mine before I can comprehend what was happening.
The kiss has the same intensity as the one we shared in the cottage months ago.
But there is something else behind this kiss, it is so intense, like he is proving ownship of me or marking his territory or something.
I finally break from the kiss after needing air. My eyes immediately lands on the Alpha from earlier, his eyes were looking at me with longing and anger.
What is wrong with everyone today?
I fake smile at the crowd and Zander gives me a quick peckin the lips before we join the others.
I mangled for a while and then excused my life to leave.
“Crystalise!”
“Crystalise wake the fuck up!“I hear banging on my door.
I groan and open my eyes looking at the clock.
Who the heck wakes someone up at 6 in the morning!
I groan and get out of bed, putting on my robe and go to the door.
My eyes land on Marcus and my mom along with Tasha and Faye.
“What the heck! Marc,you didn’t tell me you were coming today“I say and jump into his awaiting arms,
“I know, I know, I miss you too and I wanted to surprise you but instead I was given the surprise” he says softly.
“What surprise?” I ask in confusion looking up at him.
“You are getting married to him“he says and there is a tick in his jaw.
I sigh and he puts me on my feet. I open the door for them to enter and move to my bed.
“I don’t have a choice Marc. I am tied to him,my acceptance was not valid” I tell him.
“But you can’t get to him. After everything he has put you through! You suffered because of him!“he says,his voice raising with each word.
“You don’t understand our world Marcus,if we don’t get married, we are going to die! I don’t choose who I have to be with,I am not an ordinary human being and I haven’t forgotten what he did to me, believe me Marc, I suffer the pain every passing day“I tell him.

“You have to do something he didn’t think of you when he was chosing your sister! He didn’t hear your cry for help when his best friend was in….!” he stops and looks at my mom and sighs
“Look.I saw everything you went through, every night you try reliving that memory and the memories of sleepless night in New York, please don’t do this. You reject him before it is too late “he says
“Oh goodness, I didn’t know my baby has so many scars“mana burst into tears sitting on the bed and begins to sob in her hands.
1 glare at Marc and hug my mom,
“I am fine mom. I am fine now,that is in the past” I tell her
“But you’ve been through alot and I couldn’t even protect you, I failed you. I am so sorry my baby” she hugs me
back
“Everything will be fine. You raised me to be a strong woman. I can handle pain” I say softly.
“I can’t allow you marry him. He has destroyed my family” mama says
“He’ll hurt you and dad. I can’t let that happen. I’ll be fine mama,I’ve been through worse, I can handle it “I tell her and she continues to apologize.
Hook up at Marcus and give a small nod of reassurance, telling him I am not changing my mind.
He sighs and nods back.
“Wait….you said something of Alpha not hearing you call out his name when his best friend… Tasha s looking at Marcus.
Says
“What happened Crystalise? What did Beta Darius do to you?” she asks and mama looks up immediately. “Yes. What the fuck did Darius do to you?” Zander’s voice booms from the door and his aura feels the room. Fuck!
