CHAPTER ONE

NATALIE'S POV

"You'll marry Alpha Ace, Natalie," my dad declared as he glared at me. I stilled for a second then laughed.

"But father, the agreement was for Emily to marry him. Why should I be the one you sacrifice?" I asked.

"Emily is pregnant and therefore won't be able to marry Alpha Ace. The Alpha has specifically said we bring a daughter or face his wrath. Duty comes first, Natalie," my father, Alpha Lloyd, replied. I took a step back and shook my head.

"Dad, I have a boyfriend," I murmured. I could feel the tears blurring my vision. I knew my father wouldn't agree but I still had to try.

"Break up with him. You're not pregnant, are you?" a strong male voice said. I turned around and was immediately met with the sight of Ace DeLuca.

"Alpha Ace," my mother breathed out, bowing down to him. He refused to acknowledge her and kept his eyes trained on me.

"You will marry me, gattina," he continued, hands placed firmly in his pockets and cold eyes trained onto mine. I lifted my nose in the air and held his gaze as I stalked closer to him.

"And if I disagree?"

"You have no choice, Natalie. It's your foolish whim or the lives of your pack members," Alpha Ace said. I clenched my fists at my side and bit my tongue harshly.

"Apart from your looks and status, I swear you have nothing else going on for you," I told him then turned around and walked away. I could hear my mother calling for me and I could feel his eyes on my back but to hell with them. All of them.

Stepping into my room, I slammed the door shut and immediately brought out my phone.

"Guys," I murmured, tearfully. I had called my three best friends ; Amelia, Chloe and Jared.

"Are you crying, Nat?" Chloe asked, furrowing her eyebrows. "Do we need to come over?"

"Can you?" I asked. They all nodded and immediately cut off the call. I sank down to the floor and let my tears fall. My whole life, my parents had always preferred Emily to me. I was sure this was some ploy to save their favorite daughter.

"Toodles?" I called, looking for my stuffed teddy. I finally found it under my bed and cuddled it. "See, life isn't fair to me. I've just finished college and look now, mom and dad are marrying me off to some bloodthirsty Alpha," I complained.

Ten minutes later, the girls were already in my room listening to my sob story. Unfortunately, Jared couldn't come since he had some work to do.

"They're forcing you to marry a man you don't love? That's extremely low even for them," Amelia muttered. She patted my back in assurance as the tears flowed from my eyes.

"I can't be strong anymore, guys. This is the worst thing they could do to me. What do I tell George?" I said, wiping my eyes.

"Nat, I think I have an idea," Chloe stated. Amelia and I both looked up at her. "All you have to do is get pregnant. Emily got pregnant, she also got rejected. Get pregnant too," she said.

"I-that's actually a nice idea," Amelia muttered beside me. I pursed my lips as I contemplated on whether or not to agree to the plan then I finally nodded.

"What about George?" I asked.

"Please, Natalie, we all know he was getting on your nerves. You both should have broken up a long time ago," Amelia said. I grinned at her and laid back down on my bed.

******

"You look nice," Amelia complimented. I was wearing a midnight blue dress that stopped just below my butt and I had put my hair in a half up, half down style.

"So do you. Seems like Chloe already found where to spend the night," I said as I pointed at Chloe who was currently grinding against a man. Amelia grinned as she ordered another shot from the barman.

"Yeah. And I just found mine too," she said and pointed to a man at the side. I laughed at her antics then turned to face the bartender.

"You don't come here much?" he asked, pouring me a drink.

"Yup. Tonight I just came to have fun and get laid. I'm not seeing anyone that catches my eye though. Speaking of which, you're quite a catch," I flirted. The bartender laughed as he shook a bottle and poured a shit for someone else.

"Easy there, sweetheart. I swing the other way," he replied. My cheeks reddened from embarrassment which only made the bartender laugh more. "But I can see someone who'd be very much interested in you. There's a guy at the corner who looks like he'll rip my head off of I keep making you laugh but what can I say, I'm quite the charmer."

"You are," I complimented then glanced subtly at the man behind us. Though I couldn't see his face clearly, I saw his body and damn, even through his shirt I could see evidence of intense work out.

"You like what you see, don't you? I do too. Why don't you go over to him and then stumble into a hotel room?" the bartender, whose name I learnt was Lucas, said. I shook my head since I was feeling a bit shy.

"I'm a bit shy. He looks too cool for me," I told Lucas, sipping my drink. Lucas looked over my head and grinned.

"Well, that's your luck. Greek God coming in 5 seconds. Get laid, boo," Lucas said then winked at me. And true to his words, the Greek God did come in 5 seconds. I felt his presence beside me and I heaved a sigh.

"One tequila," he said, his voice resonating within me down to my stomach. That was wrong. Voices were meant to stop at the ears not go down to my stomach—oh, no, now I felt it somewhere else.

"Are you here alone?" he asked. I looked at him hoping to catch a glimpse of his face but I couldn't.

"Yes, you?" I answered. He nodded in response and sipped his drink. I kept quiet as I scanned him over.

"Who's that?" Chloe mindlinked me.

"Some hot guy who I'm contemplating sleeping with," I replied.

"The what are you waiting for?" she asked. I glanced at the man and I cold feel his gaze on me. I inches closer to him and pressed my hand on his crotch.

"Let's go somewhere private," then I kissed him.

ACE'S POV

When my men told me that the woman I was set to marry was in a club, wearing some skimpy dress, I couldn't believe it. Well now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I could. She was laughing with the bartender and it made me angry. Now, here we were, in a room, with her legs wrapped around me and my dick buried deep in her pussy.

"God, yes!" she yelled as I thrust into her. I pulled out to the tip then slammed back into her and her back arched as she let out a moan.

"You feel that?" I asked, kissing her neck. "You feel me inside you, gattina."

"Oh my God, yes. Fuck, I'm about to cum," she yelled out. That was what did it for me. I could feel my own climax nearing and I wanted to pull out but her legs tightened around me, refusing to let go.

"Cum in me," she breathed out. And that was when I realized what her plan was. I clenched my jaw and began slamming into her with much more force than before and soon, I was releasing spirt after spurt of hot semen into her.

I pulled out of her and began sucking her pussy and eating her out, her hands on my hair and her back arched.

"Oh my God, fuck me," she said, releasing her cum on my face. I smirked as I pulled her legs closer.

"Oh, I will, gattina. All. Night. Long," and then I thrust back into her.
