"What? Then why me????! Why not my older brother! He is 27 years old."I cleared my throat. Yes, I was wondering. But seriously, I meant every single word. I'M SO FuCKING Young.

"Tamara is just 18 years old, so her age is fit for yours. You are just older than her by one year, which is perfect. Don't start babbling. I'm not here to take your permission. It's already decided. I'm just letting you know. And Alpha Clark and I made all the arrangements, now, don't waste my time Tonight— You are going on vacation with Tamara, the driver will take you to her mansion, and you will meet her." My father informed me as if I didn't have the right to talk.

IT'S MY FVCKING LIFE FOR PETE SAKE. Yeah, I yelled deep inside my head for sure. I couldn't say it out loud, or the next thing would be my head hung up on the ceiling, and I would be choked and die.

"Then where are we going?" I crossed my arms over my chest, huffing. I should wait and find a solution later. Maybe a part-time job or a room.

"Don't ask, in your way; you will know everything, now prepare your luggage, and don't try to make her upset, because you are going to marry her anyhow," My father placed his hand on my shoulder and gave me a glance then he walked away leaving me in my room in a stroke.

I took a look at my wristwatch; it was just 8 a.m. I have to find my brother immediately. I rushed to my brother's Xander office. I knew that he kept himself in the office reading for a while before being busy at 9 a.m. He was so sharp when it came to his meeting appointments and his business. He was a successful Alpha and a businessman, but with a stone heart. I have never seen him with a girl before.

I took my car and accelerated my speed; I didn't stop at any red signals while I was driving like crazy shit. I opened the door of his office without knocking. I was hardly breathing. Yes, sure, a drunk man was running, so it was reasonable to breathe like that.

"Older brother, brother! Hey, what are you reading?! " I chuckled lightly; I was faking for sure, I looked so nervous. I was sweating, and I was cemented at my place.

"What do you want? Be straightforward, I have only 5 minutes and then a meeting! You didn't come to my office and the company as early for nothing." My brother flipped the paper of the book and smirked.

I bet he knew everything about this arranged marriage. I can see the wicked smirk hidden between his teeth. Maybe he was the one who suggested that mating hell. Perhaps she was ugly, and he convinced my father to force me to marry her instead of him.

Oh, if I were much stronger than his muscular body, I would kill him now, and I won't regret it. ' Well, I might regret it later. But he was so strong that he was killed. He would smash my bones in a blink of an eye.'

"Yes, I need your help to cancel this arranged mating ceremony!" I blew a sigh. I couldn't assume things and accuse him blindly without evidence in my hands. And I should play smartly not as stubborn wolves or the table will be slammed into my face.

He huffed, "I can't remember sorry. This is for emerging our packs, business and already your father has settled up everything," Xander threw the book on his desk, and he stood up, lit up a cigar and puffed away giving me his back. What? Everyone in that family was ignoring me. I was the groom!

I was mentally killed, waiting for a response.

But I flinched when my father barged into Xander's office and yelled at me, "Hey, what are you doing here?"My father stared at me, and I rolled my eyes.

"Father, I don't know her to be mated to her," I yelled.

"So what! You will know her after marriage, and I will give you more space before marriage for a week, I guess I said that before!" my father exclaimed gazing at me.

"A week?! What do you mean?"I hit my head with both hands. Why don't I remember this? Did I miss something of what he said to me from the shock?

"I mean you will travel anywhere for a week and then after coming back, you will marry her," My father tapped over my shoulders and then walked away next to my brother and grabbed a glass of wine and both of them started drinking and ignoring me one more time if I was nothing.

"Why me? Let her marry my brother! He is the next Alpha, and he cares about the business! And he is the older brother," I hollered and huffed.

"He is too old for her! That can't be, do I have to repeat one more time?" my father hooted loudly.

"He is just 27 years old! And I'm 19! So he fits her." I dropped my jaw.

"She is 18 years old! So your brother is too old for her! End of discussion! You are giving me a headache," My father huffed, and Then left the office slamming the door behind him.

"Brother, please help me!" I walked close to My brother begging him.

"I can't do it, sorry." My brother muttered.

"Then at least, don't leave me with her alone! Come with me."I grind my teeth, staring at him.

"Me? Why? I have work!"Xander gave me a devilish smirk.

"Please! Are you not worried about me! What if she raped me! Or she was a serial killer?"I pouted my lips.

"Don't do an illusion thing!" My brother pushed my face into his hand.

"Please," I made a puppy face peering at him.

"Okay!" My brother stared at the ceiling for a while, then he twirled his head to me and wiped his lips.

I jumped from happiness, "Thank you so much."

"But you will marry her once we come back." Xander chuckled wickedly. What? He can't be my brother; he is a monster! Does he even care about me and my feelings?! Even so, I have no choice; I have to try.
