Natasha's bare footsteps were observed by Ian since this morning, Natasha was drying in the hot sun and Ian was eager to touch those feet, but after hearing the father's plan to sell Natasha to the Alpha of the Northeastern Land Pack, Ian just gave up.
Now all Ian could do was guard the girl in case Natasha tried to run away after hearing that she would be married off to a werewolf.
Natasha's unpleasant reaction made James order his two sons to keep an eye on Natasha and this time, Ian was in charge.
Ian was seen walking towards Natasha and they were among Natasha's clothesline. Ian just wandered around, he had a typical cold nature and did not open his mouth easily.
"I'm not going anywhere," said Natasha who knew that Ian had been watching her.
"So?"
"You don't have to watch me like that," replied Natasha who was now carrying the basket of clothes into the terrace. Ian's footsteps were still walking behind her.
Ian did not reply and he just sat on the terrace chair as Natasha sat on his side. Natasha glanced at Ian occasionally and hoped that he would let his guard down. Ian himself was a thirty-year-old young man, but he was actually much older than people imagined.
Liam was the same, even James was like that. But they lived among the mortals, so no one realized it but Natasha.
Natasha looked at Ian who seemed to be frozen, and did not look at Natasha. Even though he wanted to.
"Don't you dare run away," Ian said briefly, not looking at Natasha at all.
"I won't." Natasha lied, she had already planned an escape to a neighboring village, and would be given a ride by her mother's relatives. "How does it feel to be a werewolf?" asked Natasha who was careful to speak.
But once again Ian did not answer, Ian just leaned his head on the back of the chair and felt the afternoon coming on.
Shortly while they were there, James' voice from inside the house appeared, he said, "The meat supply is running out!" James' voice made Ian get up, he respected his father very much and would do whatever James said. "Ian!" James appeared out of the house and stood in the doorway. Making Ian stand tall looking at his father.
"Father?"
"Let the girl be with me, you go get the meat supplies," James pleaded, followed immediately by Ian. This was a great opportunity for Natasha to escape and avoid marriage to a werewolf.
Ian disappeared from Natasha's sight and James dragged Natasha into the house.
"You hurt my arm," Natasha complained.
James who heard that was annoyed, he gave Natasha a sharp look and said, "I can even hurt your whole body if I want to!" James, he then ignored Natasha, and Natasha who looked at the wall clock and it showed five o'clock in the evening, it was Natasha's appointment to meet with her cousin at the border. Natasha who used the spare house key got out of the house and put on her bike to leave.
James of course sensed her escape, and immediately ordered Liam and Ian to give chase. Natasha put on the bike to escape but before meeting up with her cousin she had fallen on the rough and hot asphalt. Making Natasha lose her sandals and just run away from the road. Into a small forest until her feet were bleeding.
But as we know, the girl's escape failed miserably and she was found again by Liam and Ian.
Until she kneels before the Alpha, Devino Milano Rogers, a man with perfect wealth in both the mortal world and the werewolf world. He has everything, apart from the figure of Luna at his side.
He said as he saw the beautiful Natasha in his presence, "I'll decide, after she moans in my bed." And hearing those words Natasha felt an overwhelming sense of panic.
No, she really didn't want to be with this man, she couldn't possibly give the most precious thing in her to a creepy furry human. But when Natasha looked up and saw a stern face that couldn't be explained with just a single word.
Natasha felt that this man was completely fangless and creepy.
They were now staring at each other, Devino and Natasha. And Devino showed lips that hardly smiled, with an empty look in his eyes.
Natasha swallowed her saliva and looked down again, although handsome, this man was still one of the cold-blooded immortals.
"Of course Alpha, she is yours, without marriage or with marriage," said James who bowed slightly. Behind Devino was a man who looked nothing like an immortal, he was older, with wrinkles on the sides of his eyes. That man was Devino's right-hand man. Alan Turamvae, an ordinary person, not a werewolf and just an ordinary man but became the alpha's right hand during his stay in the mortal city.
"Alright, prepare a she for me tonight."
Hearing the Alpha, James immediately gave Ian the code to take Natasha away from there. Ian quickly dragged Natasha back into the room.
"Dress up prettier, and choose the most beautiful dress." Ian then closed the room tightly, and stood in front of the door, hoping that Natasha could escape from there to avoid the wedding, that was Ian's deepest hope.
But Ian was no one, Ian was sticking to his father's rules. While Natasha was still silent in front of the dressing table, she didn't even know how she was going to glorify her makeup. And finally she took a brush to color her face with makeup that was quite excessive.
This will probably be something that makes James angry, but Natasha doesn't care she will do whatever it takes to avoid the wedding. She admitted that Devino had a handsome, dashing and authoritative face, but her mother was like that too. Her mother thought that James was a handsome and dashing man, until finally she regretted and was finished off by her husband with a deadly poison.
Such a wound that Natasha did not want to repeat, she did not want to know the werewolf nation, she did not want to marry them, and she only wanted to live as a simple mortal nation. Then she finished her grooming, stood behind the door and knocked to signal that she was ready.
Ian, who was standing in front of the door, opened the door and Ian's eyes opened wide when he saw Natasha's makeup.
"What are you doing?" Ian asked in a stern tone.
"Take me to your Alpha, and let me moan in his bed."
Ian quickly slapped the girl's face, with widened eyes Ian said, "You will only embarrass my father!" But Natasha did not reply to Ian's words and just stared. Since there was no more time, James with a big voice called them and inevitably Ian had to pull this girl's body in front of Devino. Then he stomped Natasha's body back in front of Devino Milano Rogers.
Everyone naturally rounded their eyes after seeing Natasha's clown-like makeup, especially Devino who hated that kind of thing.
"What is this?" Devino asked with a frowning, astonished look.
"Pardon us Alpha, but Natasha ...."
"No, I'm not. Don't apologize, James. Her face looks much more beautiful with this kind of makeup."
