Chapter 2: Marriage Contract

Chapter two: Marriage Contract

Jasmine

I kept my physique straight and myself calmed as water while seeing his face standing in front of me. I could feel my blood boiling and I wanted to punch him in his face. Romano is rumored to be vicious and a virgin hunter Alpha. Of all the men in the world, why must they choose me as his replacement mate? I married to avoid being married to him but I have no other choice. If I refused, my family would arrange for my twin sister and I love her too much to allow her to suffer in his hands.

My twin sister is not strong like me, she is weak. I wanted to avoid seeing her suffering for this virgin hunter Alpha. I don't know why my family let themselves be blinded by money. If I have any other choice, I would rather die than to be this Alpha replacement mate. To hell with this marriage!

"Can we just start this freaking ritual already?" I asked as I noticed that my family is not bothered by how they are sending me to a death glare.

"Are you excited that much, darling? Can't you wait to come home with me?" Alpha Romano asked and I couldn't stop myself from coughing when I heard those words from him. It seems like the strand of my hair stood on end hearing him say those words.

"Let us begin the marriage ritual, Alpha Romano. We shouldn't waste any more time." The priest said and it made me let out a deep breath.

"Wait a minute, is she a human?" He asked, I turned my direction hearing Alpha Romano asked that. I couldn't stop myself from furrowing my brows from his question.

"What do you think I am? A vampire?" I blurted out and it made him look at me with fierce eyes.

"Yes, Alpha Romano, she is human." The priest replied.

"No! I am not going to perform this marriage ritual with her! He yelled out and a smile curved into my lips.

"As if I want to marry a virgin hunter like you." I said and my family was glaring daggers at me.

"Please, Alpha Romano, my daughter would be a great woman for you and she is a virgin." My mother said and my face reddened. They really want me to be married to this Alpha just because of money.

"She is a virgin?" He asked and I shook my head. Does he really think I would give in to his charm?

"Yes, Alpha Romano." My mother replied and a smirk curve on his face as he was staring at me. Our eyes met with each other and I looked away instantly. The rumors were true and I could prove that. He had these enticing eyes that would hypnotize a woman.

"In that case, let us begin the ritual." He said, coldly and the priest took a deep breath. The priest motioned us to face him which we did. Alpha Romano standing next to me and I stopped myself not to look at him with every fiber in me.

The priest started reciting the ritual enchantment and I just focused my attention on the priest. I can't even understand why they think we need all this ritual enchantment, we can just sign the contract marriage instead. Whatever might be the reason, it doesn't matter. I am only agreeing to this marriage because it is my family's request. If I refused to perform the marriage ritual, they would be going to offer my twin sister to him and don't want that to happen. Besides, I would rather choose to risk my life than hers because I love my twin sister a lot. Although it is not my will, I have no other choice.

"By the windfall permission of the moon goddess, I declared you Jasmine Philip and Romano Kevin as husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The priest announced happily and it made my heartbeat quickened.

I wasn't shocked when the priest announced that we are married but I was shocked when he mentioned the kiss. I wanted to avoid being kissed by a demon. It seems like I wanted to run away from all of them but I can't do that. My legs felt stuck in my direction and my mouth was wide open as no words were able to form on it. I was shocked by the fact that we have to kiss. When I turned my attention to him, he was staring deeply into my eyes. He moved closer and grabbed my waist and I couldn't believe what he did next. He took my lips without even asking for my concern. I wanted to push him away, I wanted to scream thief when he stole the first kiss but the weird thing is that I couldn't even move.

"Don't act like you wanted my kiss." He whispered into my ears and it made my face reddened. I pushed him away immediately and I thought he would fall on the ground but he didn't. My force is nothing to him as he grabs my hand and I glared daggers at him as I wanted to kill him at the stop.

"We still have our honeymoon later, darling." My fist clenched because of he said.

"Alpha Romano, please sign this document." The priest said and we turned towards him to sign the marriage contract.

At first, I was hesitant to sign it but every time I remembered my twin sister, I had no choice but to agree to being his replacement mate. I knew Alpha Romano didn't want to replace his dead mate but he didn't have any other choice. If he doesn't have a Luna, his Beta will take over the crown from him and he didn't want that to happen.

We finished everything, especially signing the marriage contract and I couldn't help but overthink what will happen after this marriage. I am now his replacement mate forever.

"Be a good girl, Jasmine. Our deal is loud and clear and don't do anything or else, you already know what would happen to your sister." My father reminded me of the deal and I sighed before responding to him.

"Stop reminding me of that, father. I know what I am doing." I replied as I walked closer to Alpha Romano. I needed to distance myself from my father immediately at the same tim, I wanted to avoid being rude to him.

"Are you ready, darling?" Alpha Romano asked and I blushed like hell.
