I sat stiffly on my seat whilst looking down at the celebration in front of me. Every guest was laughing and lively and really enjoying the moment. I envied them. This was exactly what I envisioned my wedding reception to be, but unfortunately, I married the wrong man.

That aforementioned wrong man sat next to me, on his throne that looked very striking. It was literally an enormous head of an animal—a wolf most likely—with its mouth filled with serrated teeth and opened wide to accommodate my husband’s royal butt.

Ever since the wedding ceremony ended, he had been sporting a rather unreadable expression on his face. It was not a scowl or a frown. Just a blank face. He would show a smile when needed, but I knew he was just faking it like I was.

I clearly remembered everything that went down on that ceremony. I remembered the bright light in the form of chains and how it left a weird mark on both of our wrists. I remembered myself suddenly turning anxious and afraid; felt confused and clueless. A second later, a sense of completeness filled me and for an unexplained moment, I thought standing with the king felt right.

That wonderful euphoric feeling was gone in a snap. It was replaced with fear again and with that, my hands visibly shook. I wasn’t sure what the markings on our wrists meant. I was hoping on the back of my mind it wasn’t something serious.

King Aero saw my discomfort and just as expected, he acted like a loving husband-to-be, assuring me that it was alright. He probably thought I’d back down on our agreement.

Huh, like hell I would. I just needed to see through this day and I’d be gone in this realm forever. Never mind whatever my mark meant.

But ‘seeing through this day’ unfortunately included kissing the damn man. I knew I couldn’t run away from this with all the pairs of eyes trained on us, so I did the only thing I could do at the moment and it was to curse.

“Shit.”

The moment his mouth met mine, I wanted to gag. It was the coldest kiss I had ever received in my life. I had received kisses before in the form of my ex in high school, in college, and the last one in the place I used to work at. Though they didn’t look as godly as this man was, I should say they kiss better than him.
