Chapter 60: I Accept It

"I hope I am not disturbing you?" she asked with an awkward laugh as she took small steps towards her.

His cold gaze was observing her every action like a hawk! His eyes kept following the way she bit her lips and then adjusted her hair by tucking her bangs behind her ears. The way she looked at the knights with an embarrassed face and then she tried to smile even when she was feeling the pressure.

She was like a drama where her emotions were clear on her face and he could read her like a book. For a change the cold girl was gone and stood a young girl that was full of feelings in front of him. Yet he could not help but feel that she was still too distant from him, no matter how many steps she took towards him.

"I am here for dinner.'' Hazel did not know what the man was speaking as he did not say a word. Shouldn't he say that 'no hazel! I am not disturbed at all, like a gentleman! Was he trying to scare me with that cold gaze of his! Tsk tsk.. I had seen much worse so you have to work harder on that!'

When he did not say a word, she came forward and pulled a seat and sat there as if it belonged to her only. 

"Do not tell me that you already had your meal." her cheeks puffed up unconsciously as she asked him in an aggrieved tone and finally his lips curled upwards.

"No! I have been waiting for you."

—------------------------------

"No! I have been waiting for you." The words were simple yet it was enough to raise the heat on her cheeks.

"Well, then, let's have dinner together." she replied while looking anywhere but at him. He raised a brow but did not comment further as he stood up and walked towards the small dining table nearby. 

She followed and sat in front of him. The dinner was served in a grand manner, the meal was sumptuous yet she did not have any appetite.

She looked at the platter in front of her and played with a piece of corn with her fork.

"Is the food upto to your liking?" he asked as he took another sip of his soup. His actions were regal, filled with a noble aura. Just by sitting there leisurely and eating the meal. He was able to create an aurora of nobility that states he was ablove all of them.

She could not help but wonder why he was so cold yet respected by everyone! 

She was stunned by his sudden question but shook her head suddenly.

"No! I was just thinking about your offer." her tone was so soft that he would not have even heard it if his senses were not so strong.

His calm face turned into a frown as he looked at her pale face, "did i not tell you that you need not worry about it! I had taken back the offer. You are free to go where you want. I have asked the knight to escort you." his tone was devoid of any emotion as she bit her lips.

"But I am here to accept the offer." she spoke abruptly, cutting her in between as she held his hands that were resting on the table. His whole body turned rigid when he felt her soft touch over his hands.

His eyes flickered as he looked at her in silence. Her face turned red and she moved her hands away.

"I mean, I am ready to marry you. I will be a responsible and loyal wife in exchange for revenge." her tone was grim as if she was signing a contract not talking about the marriage.

He stood silent for a moment then nodded his head. 

"I will take care of it. You just have to tell me who you want to target first." he replied as he took a sip of the wine and let go of the food.

"I want to start with humiliating Jonathan. But before that I want to fulfil my deal first." her tone was cold and hard and he tilted his head and looked deep into her eyes.

"I want to marry you first or at least ask for an engagement. So that I did not feel like I was taking advantage of you." she replied in a grim voice and he chuckled.

"Do not worry about that. I have complete faith in you." she blinked and looked at him but did not say a word! "So, let's start with ministry. We should go and meet the emperor so that we can visit the finance ministry." he wiped his mouth with his elegant fingers and then stood up.

"We will go and visit your place tomorrow. I will ask the maids to get you ready. Go and have a rest now if you do not want to eat a meal!" he left without turning back while she sat there stunned.

"........." only this! He accepted it just like that. No other terms or conditions or discussion. 

She did not know how to react unless a few seconds passed.

"Shall I reheat the food, my lady?" The maid was smart enough to be extra polite and respectful towards the chosen bride of the alpha.

"No! I am done!" She stood up and walked towards her room unable to understand how to go forward with it.

When she walked back with a dim face, the sparkle in the eyes of the maid that was waiting for her, dimmed too.

"Have you tried my lady? Shall i bring a tea for you or a soup to ease your digestion.'' The maid was wise enough not to ask anything and agitated her further, but relaxed her! 

Hazel smiled gratefully at her thoughtfulness but shook her head and sat on the sofa as she revised the whole conversation in her mind. She did not even understand if he was happy with her acceptance or not given her cold and curt replies! She had made a good decision by accepting the proposal right? Cloud of doubts started to cover her while she did not know how to react at that time!

The maid walked behind her with a comb in her hands as she started stroking her hair with the comb and applied oil in her hair with slow hands.

"Do not think too much, my lady. Alpha had always been cold since the start. It would take some time for him to understand the emotions of yours and react accordingly. Please have some faith in him and the bond of mates he shares with you." a bitter smile formed on her face at her words of consolation. How shall she explain that she did not share the bond of mating with their alpha.

It was just a cold deal of give and take where she had accepted to be his fake mate.

With the swirl of thoughts in her mind, she could only nod with a smile.

"Shall I bring a smooth tea for you, my lady?" the maid asked again and hazel finally nodded with a sigh as she did not want to be fussy and arrogant.

The maid passed a comforting smile before leaving her alone in the room.

"I wonder what he had planned for tomorrow!" she mumbled as she looked out of the window. The place was hidden too deep in the woods where she could not see the palace anymore yet she felt that she was just an inch away where she would forward a hand and would be in their clutches again.

"No, I would not let that happen!" her hands clenched into a fist as she decided to stand against the world to gain what was hers!

Her thoughts broke when she heard the sudden creak of the door and looked back with a frown. Everyone had been too respectable towards her since the start. No one had ever entered her room without a knock!

She saw a young man with silver hair floating up to his shoulders with soft features entered into the room rather abruptly.

He looked at her with wonder but soon his gaze turned into a frown.

"Wow! So you are really awake. Huh?" He came in and walked around her as if he was observing her. But his gaze was filled with marvel as if he was looking at a miracle.

She felt rather uneasy with his strong gaze on her and asked in a cold tone.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" She did not want to show that she was intimidated by his presence. After all, she was their new luna!

Though she did not know what it meant exactly but as the wife of their leader, she could not sound weak! So she glared back at the man with cold eyes and asked in a stern tone.

"I am your new father, my daughter."
