Penelope walked to the mirror disappointingly. She stared at her reflection as she was at the edge of breaking down.

This is supposed to be her happiest day, yet she saw tears streaming down her cheeks.

Why does it have to happen to her? What have she done to be treated like this?!

“Pene!" She heard the shout of her bestfriend Amber. She came running towards her, “Penelope, are you okay?”

"Of course not,” Penelope tells her, struggling to contain her tears,”You were just outside. I’m sure you’ve heard what he said, right?"

She was in pain to the core of her soul.

She couldn’t believe this is actually happening. It feels like a nightmare.

Her dad and pack members were waiting outside, and the paparazzi also had their cameras ready. Tomorrow, all the headlines in the city will be “Penelope Heather Was Dumped by Her Fiance on her wedding day’!

Amber obviously understands the situation, and her face turns pale. She murmurs, "I saw a bunch of women who are crazy about Killiah among the guests. They are big fans of him and have been jealous of you. Now they’re definitely going to take advantage of the situation and make your life a living hell!”

“Thanks for reminding me.” Penelope said bitterly.

“Pene, we need to do something,” she said, “We just can’t sit here and allow this to happen. You don’t deserve this.”

"What else can I do,” Penelope asked her in exasperation, “The wedding can't go on without the groom, it has to be canceled. Unless I can magically come up with another groom right now."

At this moment, another knock on the door makes Penelope put her bitter thoughts aside.

Penelope raised her face at the right moment to see who had entered.

Tall, with hair like burnt honey combed back and a square jaw, the man who entered the room is absolute eye-candy, even with his serious, slightly sullen expression.

But the problem is, he’s the last person she wanted to see at the moment.

Astride Grand, the Alpha of their enemy pack. Despite his handsome appearance, his reputation precedes him.

What was he doing here?

She can’t imagine that he’s here for any good, and she have no desire to let him make her already-miserable day any more difficult.

“I didn’t say you could come in,” Penelope said, narrowing her eyes as she stares at him. However, she met his intense gaze.

He looks at her with a solemn face, yet for some reason, the word “sincere” comes to her mind.

The black tuxedo he wore blends oddly well with the series of tattoos that line with his body. As much as their packs don’t get along, Penelope couldn’t deny that he is an attractive man – a dangerous and attractive man.

“I heard that Killah Bloodstone has left you here alone," he said in a deep, powerful, calm voice.

Penelope let out a chuckle.

“How quickly the rumor has spread,” she sigh, folding her tiny arms under her breast.

“So, are you here to humiliate me too?”she asked.

“No, I’m here to help you,” he said, one eyebrow raised.

Penelope glare back at him.

Help her? Why would her enemy help her? How ridiculous! What makes him think she’ll believe that?

“Leave!” She hiss impatiently, “I don’t have the time or energy for whatever game you’re playing right now.”

“You know what, you can stay” she made to leave instead.

“Wait,” he grabs her arm, making her look at him.

His brow furrows and his gray eyes stare into hers.

The time seems to have stopped for a moment at his intense gaze that she could almost feel the emotional turmoil under his calm face.

His lips part slightly as if he has so much to tell her. Yet, he is just looking at her quietly for a few moments.

Penelope heart skips a beat under his gaze. It feels like an eternity before he finally spoke up again.

“Penelope Heather,” he says softly, and his thumb gently caresses her cheek.

Penelope body relaxes at his faint smile as if her instinct tells her to trust him.

Then she heard him say the words that she never would’ve imagined to come out from his mouth, not even in her wildest dreams.

“Will you take me as your husband?”

He said and her eyes widened.
