Chapter 3

Yvonne's POV

We got into his luxury latest G-wagon, where we took a ride to one of the most expensive restaurants in the pack. By merely sighting here, you realized this is not a restaurant for the average class. This is a five-star.

We were directed to the VIP section where we became the only ones using it. We sat around a table while he made the order.

"Do you need something?" The waiter asked.

"Nope. Just give me what he ordered already." I replied.

"You look better than in your school days. You've grown prettier." I blushed at his words. He has never complimented me before. Always avoided me like a plaque in school. Money and fame do change things, it changes how people look at you, how they see you. It buys respect. A new you!

"Yvonne". He called out while we were eating. I hummed a reply to him and urged him to speak.

"I really need your help on something". He said with all seriousness and I became a bit tense. The Alpha Prince, the arrogant Alpha Jeff needs my help? This better be good, I wouldn't accept anything less.

"I know I have been so mean to you during our high school days but I want to make up with you, I was scared I wouldn't meet my mate if I get to mingle with you". I stared at him confused and lost. This in itself sounds so lame.

"What do you mean?"

"Please, let me". He said and went down on his knees bringing out a ring. An expensive diamond ring. I gasped and stood up immediately.

"W..What are you doing, Yvonne"? I stuttered. He must be kidding, I'm shocked.

"Accept the ring and I will make you understand". I looked around and saw that no one was in sight.

Jeff has been serious. So Serious!

I smiled widely and slipped the ring to my fingers. It looks so enchanting. I will never let these moments pass.

"This ring is expensive, Yvonne".

"Yes, it's from Dubai".

"Really. How much is it?"

"Thirty million dollars". I looked at him, losing sense of myself. Well, he has money. A lot of it! But still, I couldn't comprehend.

"What?" I screamed out aloud. He came closer and hugged me tightly to himself.

"You will have more than this if you accept my deal.

I stood admiring the mansion in front of me with my mouth agape. It was breathtaking.. Each corner of the wall was beautifully carved. This building is worth millions and Jeff spoke in a language I couldn't quite understand but at least I could guess it meant good.

"It's yours". I screamed out aloud and rushed forward. It has a carpark and a car was packed in it.

"And everything in it". I gasped and walked inside the building admiring the color. The designs were made with complete care. Spotless white paint with sky blue, the house was undeniably breathtaking. The well trimmed plants added beauty to the compound and mansion.

I turned back to Jeff and wondered why he's doing all this.

"Tell me, what do you want?" He grinned at me and pulled me down to sit.

"I need a wife to stay long on the Alpha's throne or else I would be dethroned and my twin would rule the Southern Crescent Pack together with his".

"Then, get your mate".

"I don't know where she is. That's the problem. Yvonne!" I stared at him wondering what he really wanted me to do.

"Do y..you w..wan..t me to act as your wife?" A contractual marriage came to mind.

"No, I want you to be my real wife". He said. I stared at him gobsmacked and tried processing. Isn't this wrong?

"Isn't it wrong?"

"No, it isn't. You are helping me, Yvonne and I'm sure the moon goddess won't find anything wrong about it.

"I..I don't think I can do this".

"But you like me, don't you?" He asked. I sighed and felt stupid. Have always wanted him, now it's the time. Buh what if he comes across with his mate?

"Yvonne!"

"I will do it". I voiced out not minding the consequences. This building costs a whole lot of money. Millions of dollars. He bought a ring worth three million dollars. A diamond ring from Dubai for me. And I love him. I really love him.

"Thanks Yvonne. You don't know how much this means to me".

"So, am I staying here?"

"No, you will stay with me at the Castle."

"You know I can't stay with you there, the law of this pack, from the moon goddess, doesn't allow that."

"Nothing will happen. I've brought numerous ladies and nothing happened to them. Will it then happen to you that I want to marry?" Wow… My eyes fell at his words and I tore my gaze away from him.

"I didn't mean it that way".

"I understand. But I can't live with you over there still, I would only attract a lot of attention". The moon goddess is against unmarried couples to live together in the pack. Whoever defiles the law, the woman will be barren while the guy won't be able to produce kids. You are the Alpha and you can't take such risks, you need kids.

"I'm not ready to risk my life". I muttered silently.

Jeff insisted that I should move with him to the palace. I didn't disagree with him because I wanted to. Yea, I wanted to move with him, I wanted him to claim me. True, it's against the moon goddess but I wouldn't want to miss this opportunity. I've been in love with this guy for five good years.

He brought a ring worth millions for me. He gave me a house at the most luxurious part of the pack. A house worth millions. A house that I can't afford overnight. How could I disagree? Wouldn't I be considered an ingrate? He has been busy over the past three days.
