Neriah
When I looked up, he watched me intently and his eyes held…an emotion I could not explain.
"Let me go!" I said through gritted teeth.
"No!" he shook his head. "Stay…" then turning to the crowd he said. "I Rian accept you as my mate, Neriah." And then he lowered his mouth and captured my lips.
The kiss had been so sudden but when I recovered, I pushed him away from me, hating how compromised the whole thing was now. I turned to the pack members and saw them watching me with disdain. It was bad enough that I was already the black sheep of the pack but this….?
Thames was their favourite pack child. Everyone loved him, cherished him and now I've hurt him. I'm sure no one considered that there was a s huge possibility that my father was behind this.
I remained in stony silence as we completed the engagement process by the end of the night, Rian presented me with a ring as proof of our newfound engagement.
