Desired By The Alpha

Did I have the option to refuse the offer? Nope. Everyone saw me arrive at this location. This individual has essentially established a reputation for me. When it came to my turn, I pursed my lips together and said, "Why me?"

"Because you are not like those females who engage in idle chatter or who are so materialistic that they would do anything to be selected by an Alpha. It seems that obedience and even fear of me are natural traits for you. I have come to the conclusion that you would be an excellent companion for me!"

After waiting for a few hours, I found myself standing in front of many alters with a large number of couples who were there to be married. While some of the females had given in because of their feelings for one another, others had done so out of excessive avarice. But here I was, still twiddling my fingers, anxiously casting an anxious look at Asta who was sitting next to me, and then returning my attention to the ground.

I had no intention of getting married to this man! But was it possible for me to get away from him? I couldn't help but shake my head as I took in the sight of his strong arms and towering stature. I won't have a shot at winning. It's possible that I should simply accept my lot in life and get married. It is hardly possible that this man would wind up being responsible for the death of his own wife, is it?

My thoughts were spinning out of control. And even if I wanted to get away from this person out of fear, I didn't believe he would do anything to me after witnessing the gentlemanly conduct he showed me a few hours earlier. Even if I did want to get away from him, I didn't think he would hurt me. The tales that I had heard about him, on the other hand, were impossible for me to ignore, right? I'm really at a loss on what to do at this point!

"Dani?" My eyes sprang open as I was startled by a voice that came from behind me, and my body jerked sharply to the side. Then I turned my head to look at Asta, who was lowering his head and staring at me with a trace of humor in his eyes. I smiled and nodded. My heart started beating faster, and I jerked away from him as quickly as I could.

"Wh-What?"

"What exactly are you considering? You find yourself dozing off in the midst of the ceremony."

"I did?" As I glanced about, the only thing I saw them doing was gazing at us, which left me scratching my head. I cleared my throat even more. "I don't understand why they are gazing at us." I didn't even hear anything that was being spoken. Was it really possible that I fell asleep in the midst of the ceremony?! It was such an awful mistake!

"The reason for this is because it is now our time to participate in the ceremony."

"Oh." I bowed my head in submission. Why are these people unable to just turn their heads away at a time like this? Because of the numerous eyes that were fixed on my back, I worked up an intense sweat.

At that very moment, Asta dipped his head and spoke in his characteristically hoarse tone, "Don't be frightened, I'm here."

"I'll be much more terrified if you come anywhere near me!" I physically restrained myself from yelling at him, but in my head I was screaming my lungs out. After drawing a long breath, I started walking upstairs, and Asta was right behind me.

The routine was extremely dull. Every married pair was required to stand on the platform for 10 minutes while the priest delivered a short sermon in an archaic tongue. During this whole period, Asta and I did nothing except uncomfortably stand next to one other. After that, the pastor instructed each of us to wrap a thread around the ring finger of the person next to us. Then he instructed her to remove the threads while she was sleeping on her wedding night.

Wedding night?!

I didn't want to give any thought to this topic. This Alpha Asta was someone I had never met before. How could I have been thinking of the night of our wedding so suddenly?! I just couldn't get over the notion that I had to marry such a mean-spirited man!

On the other hand, I was speechless. In essence, I did not have the authority to do it! It's not that I didn't want to turn down this proposal for marriage; it's just that I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. My self-assurance on my ability to handle such a circumstance was already low. How could I ever have the self-assurance to decline an invitation from someone as eccentric and renowned as Asta

After ten minutes, we both walked down the stairs at the same time after learning that we had both just tied the knot. I just couldn't bring myself to accept what had taken place with me. I really wanted some time to myself so that I could come to terms with the reality that I had just tied the knot with a man who was widely known to be the most vicious of them all.

I don't know what's wrong with me! How could I possibly consent to that? My legs started to become weak as I thought of Asta's towering manner, those allegations that had been spread online, and the fact that he had slain his mother many years ago. In any case, I was completely unable of uttering a single word at this particular juncture. What if I turn him down, and the other person ends up being the one to take my life instead? I'd rather keep living and focus on making this one person happy if I want to retain my tiny life. You got it correctly! I will show Asta the utmost respect and obedience in order to prevent him from losing his mind and trying to take my life.
