A second option

“Ms. Cassandra, you may go in.”

I jolted out of my thoughts at the voice of the nurse, grabbed the small purse I had taken along with me to the hospital, and strolled into the office.

I didn’t last a minute in there, since it was already prepared and the doctor was waiting for me to come to get it.

Everything was settled.

I shut the door behind me with the files in my hands and took in a deep breath, I sunk on an empty chair and kept the files at my side. If my father didn’t want to cancel the ceremony, I was left with no choice but to marry the cheating bastard.

It doesn’t seem fair, is it?

My wolf has been quiet ever since what happened, I haven’t heard from her since I left the palace and came down to the hospital. She hadn’t said anything to me.

We have no place to escape to, I don’t even know what to do. I breathed out, even if I had to reject Jason in front of everyone at the mating ceremony tomorrow, my father would have me locked up in his dungeon.

I will be the one to face the consequences of my actions, it wasn’t a good plan.

Since the marriage between Jason and I will make my father stand stronger, and grow his reputation, he will make sure it happens and nothing could stop it.

“Look. He’s here again.” I heard a woman chuckle noisily to another woman beside her, there were about three of them who were seated close to me at the waiting chair.

I had no idea they had been here all along.

“He doesn’t miss his appointment,”

“Why would he.” They laughed.

I didn’t mean to eavesdrop she was speaking so loud.

 “But did you see the way he carries himself? He exudes confidence and charisma.” She looked smithed by the look of the man that has just gone out of the consultation room.

“What’s the use of his handsomeness when he’s always in for medical service.” She let out a mocking laugh.

I was perplexed and wondered what was going on and who she was talking about.

“What a pity, handsome but also useless. A grown-up man that can’t get a woman pregnant, is no man.” They clapped their hands and laughed.

I looked around where I was seated, I was in a male department, I must have walked absentmindedly to this place buried in my thoughts and didn’t come I’ve come this far.

"It's impossible for such a man like that to have a mate. Even if he does have a mate, she will reject him.”

I stared at the door of the consultation room and rose.

“I've got an idea.” I blurt out to myself.

“We would form a mate and then everything would be resolved.” There was a glint of hope in my eyes.

“...and it will humiliate Jason. I can use this to get back at him.”

A small smile tugged at my lips at the sound of that.

The man came back to the consultation room, he was quite tall about 6’4 with broad shoulders.

I took in a deep breath and walked towards the consultation room.

I pushed the door open after a satisfying glance.

The walls in the office were hued with white paint, a poster was plastered on the wall, behind him were bookshelves and two empty chairs were in front of him.

He was seated in a director’s chair and with the glasses on, his eyes were fixed on the computers and his slender fingers tapped on them. I shut the door behind me and stared at him, his hair black was, and his face was well sculpted with cognac eyes, a perfectly shaped nose, and thin lips. His demeanor was cold and overbearing.

His eyes went up to me when he noticed I had come in, with a hard-boiled glare he muttered.

“Get out” He returned his gaze to the computers as if I weren’t standing there. And he was getting rid of some nuisance.

I flinched at the sound of his voice and wanted to flee from the room, but I couldn’t go out because I needed this and there was no way I could escape.

“I don’t want to see you standing there in the next minute.” He scowled at me defiantly.

My mouth was clamped shut, and he could see the bewildered look on my face.

“You shouldn’t sound that way to someone who’s here to help,” I muttered, staring at him. He raised a brow at me.

“Help?” He mouthed, and then his lips quirked in amusement.

I stepped closer to his front desk. I wonder why he was sitting there when he came for some consultation.

“I know, you don’t have to be ashamed about it, that’s why I’m here to help. I know you…” I stepped closer and placed a hand on the side of my mouth.

“…you’re impotent.” I half smiled and moved back away from his desk after I had said that. I pulled out a chair and sat down. His jaw pressed together, and his face hardened at my words.

“…You can get married to me and we will be mates. Nobody will get to know and your rumors going around will be resolved.”

He narrowed his gaze at me and folded his arms.

 “Look here...miss.”

“Do you know who I am?” He asked with his lips pursed, and his four fingers went back to the table and tapped on them.

He was getting impatient with me.

“No. But that doesn't matter.” I shook my head. His lack of sexual ability is the best option for me.

 “I want to help you and you help me, mutual.” I shrugged.

“Why do you want to help me then, why do you want to get married to someone like me?” He pressed further with a shrewd look as if he wanted to know the deepest secrets that I had laid down in me.

“I want to get rid of a cheating bastard and the only way is for you to take me away as your mate,” I replied bluntly.

He sneered and pushed himself and was near me.

"So it's you who needs my help, is it?" He asked me back.

 “No.” I shook my head I won’t agree with that, though I knew his words were quite true.

"Wouldn't it be nice to help each other? The mating ceremony is tomorrow, my father is forcing me to bond with him and I can't escape."

I couldn’t face him because tears were starting to gather in my eyes, and I was getting anxious. This was the only way I could think of.

“Please...” I clasped my hands together and breathed out.

Still, he said nothing, and I was starting to get scared of what was going to happen.

“Ok, deal” He blurted out and stretched out his hand. “Mate.”

I took his hand with a smile on my face, mentally screaming ‘Yes’

 “Let’s get married.”
