The Condition

Three days after the funeral of Margarett, Beatrice finally meets Nate at his house. Beatrice was there because she wanted to negotiate with Nate in terms of their clans.

"Nice meeting you, Ms...?"

"Margarett, Margarett Elice Fellope." Beatrice introduces herself. Nate smiled at her, which made her blood boil. She wondered how this man could put a smile on his face after everything he had done to her sister.

"Nice meeting you, Ms. Margarett," Nate said as he held her right hand and kissed the back of her palm. Beatrice suddenly feels angry about the way how she treats her now. 

*How does this man feel comfortable after he kills my sister?*

"Have a seat, Ms. Margarett," Nate said as he sat in his chair.

"This is the first time I've met you. You're so gorgeous and stunning." Nate said to Beatrice.

"Oh, really? I'd like to know if I already met you. " Beatrice said, looking into his eyes coldly, Nate felt icy as she looked into his eyes, but he averted them and smiled.

"Really? Then where did you meet me? "Nate asks and starts pouring the wine glass in front of him.

"In a clan war," Beatrice said, which made Nate stop and look at her. Her aura is severe and cold, while Nate's is icy and calm. Because she said the word 'clan war,' Nate suddenly stops and tries to remember her.

"I'm sorry, but I haven't met you there," Nate said, Beatrice smirked and looked in the other direction.

"As a matter of fact, that would be weird if we met in a clan war," Nate added. Beatrice laugh.

"I'm just kidding, Nate." She said that made Nate feels better. "You're so serious about my joke. Did you do something during the clan war?" Beatrice added. 

Nate looked at her at gave the glass of wine to her, Beatrice accepted it, but she put it on the mini table in front of her.

"I'm not drinking wine," Beatrice said. But she loves drinking wine, especially if it's made of grapes. The one who's not drinking wine is Margarett, she hates the aroma.

"Oh, I see; that wine is made of grapes from Arizona," Nate said, which made Beatrice want to drink the wine. But she controls herself, Margarett is not drinking wine, so she needs to act like Margarett.

"And regarding your question, the answer is yes if I did something during a clan war. "Nate said, which made Beatrice stuns for a second and smile bitterly.

"My packs are in danger that time, so as a leader, I need to save my packs," Nate said and sipped his wine. Beatrice watches him.

"I see, so it means you killed some enemies. Right?" Beatrice ask. Nate nodded at his answer, which made her feel more anger.

Beatrice wants to kill Nate this time, but she can't because of Nate's pack and bodyguard. Killing Nate without a plan will put her in danger, she knows that his pack will hunt her down if she kills their alpha.

*Beatrice, you need to calm down and think about the succession of your plan in the end. You need to go with the flow.* Beatrice said to herself. After a few minutes, Beatrice smiles at Nate.

"I wonder how strong alpha you are," she said, crossing her arms.

"Anyways, you know why I am here," she added, Nate put down the glass of wine on the mini table and looked at her seriously, this time, Beatrice felt uncomfortable with how Nate looked at her. 

It feels like she is looking at her sister, Nate, and her sister has the same energy when they look serious. Beatrice looked in the other direction while calming herself down.

"Yes, you are here because of the wedding," Nate said seriously. Beatrice looked at Nate.

"To save our clan, we need to get married and join forces, this will benefit both of us, especially now that the Vougch clan is planning to do something," Nate explained. A little smirk comes out in Beatrice. 

"You know that getting married is a serious event between two lovers. We don't love each other, so why should we get married ?" Beatrice asked, Nate suddenly stopped and looked at Beatrice. Nate knows what Beatrice is pointing out. 

"Yes, I am aware. But the only way for the two tribes to join forces is to marry." Nate said. Beatrice laughed. 

*This dumbass knows very well.* Beatrice said to her mind.

"In that case, you know that we can just make an agreement between the two of us, our clan can join forces even if we don't get married. " Beatrice said she's playing with Nate this time. Her plan to act like a tough one is successfully happening. 

"But there's still a chance that your clan might betray us if we don't get married," Nate said, Beatrice laughed again as if she heard a joke from Nate. On the other hand, Nate feels uncomfortable now and thinks everything he said was just a joke to Beatrice.

"Mr. Vowell, are you afraid we will betray your clan?" Beatrice asked. Nate looked into her eyes, and he sighed deeply.

"We've been experiencing betrayal from the very first start Margarett." He said that made Beatrice's smile fade away. 

"If you really want to make a deal with me, that's what I can only offer, a marriage in exchange for security and loyalty," Nate said and stood up, Beatrice watched Nate. 

"Then, I accept the offer," Beatrice said when Nate turned his back to her, Nate suddenly stopped and looked at Beatrice again, this time, Beatrice was standing while there was a smile on her lips.

"I know that being an Alpha of a clan is hard, and saving a clan in the depth of the problem is really hard, we can save each other's clan, and as you said earlier, it will benefit the both of us," Beatrice said Nate, on the other hand, Nate can't express what he feels right now. 

"We will set our wedding date on one condition," Beatrice said while smiling. She really knows how to manipulate the situation and how to manipulate a person, as a black sheep of the family, she always does that thing. But when it comes to her sister, she can't do that, she knows that she can't manipulate her sister. 

"What condition?" Nate asked.

"Don't you ever there to fall in love with me."
