Tears streamed down my face as I pleaded with my uncle. "Please, Uncle, he asked for Aria, not me," I begged, my eyes locked on his, hoping to convey the depth of my despair.The thought of marrying that old man was unbearable. "You want me to marry an Omega?" I asked, my voice shaking with desperation. "Someone so much older and beneath me?"Aria stood beside me, her eyes welling up with tears, but I saw through her facade. Her parents, however, seemed oblivious to her distress.My uncle's expression remained resolute. "Ember, you're doing this for the family," he said, his tone firm but laced with a false gentleness. "Aria's too young for marriage now. You're the eldest; it's your duty."My words caught in my throat as my uncle's glare silenced me. I knew what would happen if I protested further – his mate would punish me later. Fear and resignation washed over me, and I looked down, defeated.In that moment, I felt trapped, forced into a fate I didn't want, with no escape in sight.
