Chapter 3 : Unplanned Wedding

"Um, what exactly is it?" Today was the sixth time she had asked.

Jacob gave her a look before lowering the magazine he was reading. He had no idea his alpha's mate would be so slow-witted.

"How many times should I respond to that?" he grumbled.

"Today is your wedding day," he exhales deeply.

"And who exactly are you?"

"Really?"

Agatha scratched her head and closed her mouth. She is currently at the hotel where their unplanned wedding will take place, and her hairstylist is busy at work on her hair.

She had no idea how she had gotten herself into this situation because, after paying all of her mother's hospital bills, she suddenly realized why she had signed those documents, and it was too late for her to back out.

"You're lucky," Jacob murmured abruptly.

"What do you mean I'm lucky?" she asked, looking in the mirror.

"Because you've been chosen to be his wife; after all, we've been waiting for you."

"I don't understand."

"You'll find out soon," he said, returning his attention to the magazine he was reading.

She didn't ask any more questions because Jacob would be upset if she did. It would be impolite if she kept asking him questions that she already knew the answers to.

She looked in the mirror, where the hairstylist had already finished her hair and the make-up artist had done an excellent job. She is a completely different person, but she is unable to smile at everyone.

Despite the fact that it is an unplanned wedding, she wants her mother to see that her only daughter is getting married, but she knows her mother will miss it. Agatha relaxes because she doesn't want to ruin her make-up.

She stood up and walked behind the curtains to her wedding gown. It's accurate and appropriate for an unplanned wedding like this. She removes the curtain and looks in the mirror after fitting her wedding gown; this is her first time seeing herself in a wedding gown, and she's overwhelmed.

"It appears that our bride is ready," Jacob said, standing behind her.

"I'm not sure, Jacob."

He pats her on the shoulder "You can do it, so why don't we get started? Your groom is already waiting, and he isn't going to be patient for long."

Jacob offered his arms to her, and she took them. She smiled as she followed him out of the room and down the hall. The wedding will take place on the hotel's ground floor in a massive space.

When they arrived, they came to a halt, and Jacob left her alone at the end of the red carpet. Everyone looked at her, and their happy expressions made her feel even more uneasy. She hadn't planned on attending the wedding, so when the music began, she began to walk down the aisle.

Her gaze was drawn to the person at the end of the aisle, Zeus, who was even looking at her, and then the guest vanished. Because of the comforting gaze his green eyes gave her, she felt alone. She swallowed to keep her tears at bay.

The music stops as she approaches the man waiting for her at the end of the aisle; she smiles, which Zeus ignores, and they both face the priest who will marry them.

Her mind was nowhere to be found as the ceremony began. She considers whether it is right for her to marry the man who will be her husband.

"Don't even look at me. Pay attention to the priest."

When Zeus said that, she was taken aback and turned her gaze to the priest, who was saying something she didn't quite understand. Her thoughts are elsewhere; she may have once wished to marry a wealthy, attractive man, but not in this sort of way.

Agatha sighed deeply, but then the priest called her name, bringing her back to reality.

"Are you saying anything?"

"Ms. Agatha, it's time for your vows," he said as he handed her the microphone.

"Oh," she said as she accepted the microphone, "I'm sorry, my mind is just occupied."

"All right, go ahead."

She swallowed as she faced Zeus "All I can say is thank you... thank you for rescuing me from my unfair life, and thank you for providing me with the life I've always desired. Thank you very much, and I will do my best to be a good wife."

She handed Zeus the microphone, which he accepted. Zeus looks her in the eyes and places the microphone in front of his mouth.

"I'm looking forward to your vows, and I'll do everything I can to provide you with what you need and want. That's all I can offer you as a husband "He stated this.

Agatha felt embarrassed because of his inappreciable vows; she looked at the audience, but they didn't seem to care what he said, so she returned her gaze to him, who was now looking at her.

"The union of Zeus Gabriel Smith and Agatha Martinez will now begin."

When the priest looks at him, he says, "Do you accept Agatha Martinez as your wife, to be a part of your heart forever, in hardship and in pleasure, in sickness and in health, and to love her for all eternity as God's sacred ordinance?

"I do," he stated unequivocally.

The priest directs his attention to Agatha "Agatha Martinez, do you accept Zeus Gabriel Smith as your husband, to be a part of your heart forever, in hardship and in pleasure, in sickness and in health, and to love him for all eternity as God's sacred ordinance?

Agatha stares into his green eyes. She has doubts, but she must do this for the sake of her family, or else everything will be lost. She exhaled deeply and tightened her grip even more tightly.

"Yes, I do."

"I have announced to you, husband and wife, that you may now kiss your bride."

Agatha felt something strange in her stomach, like a lot of butterflies flying inside of her, and she didn't know why. Zeus slowly lowered his face until their lips finally met; however, Agatha felt something strange in her stomach, like a lot of butterflies flying inside of her, and she didn't know why.

The crown began to clap and shout after their lips parted. Even though it's just a fake wedding and she's just a fake wife, this is the first time she feels happy. She looked around at the people, and their smiles were priceless. Agatha felt a surge of relief in her chest as the wedding went off without a hitch.

"Zeus!" A man at the far end of the carpet yelled.

Everyone looks at that man, and the happiness in their eyes, especially their smiles, vanishes; Agatha senses something is wrong because everyone becomes quiet, and no one dares to speak or make a noise.

"Dad," Zeus said simply, as if he expected his father to arrive.

"D-dad?" said Agatha, her eyes widening.

She returned her gaze to the man approaching them, surprised. She became terrified as a result of the frightening aura emanating from the man. She swallowed and averted her gaze, attempting to relax.

"What are you up to?" Mr. Smith yelled as he approached the altar.

"What do you think, of course marrying my wife."

"Do you truly think you can call off your wedding because of this woman?"

Zeus is uninterested in him "I don't have time to talk to you right now. Besides, I've got a wife to please, so get out of my way."

"You've changed drastically! You have no right to disobey your father!" Mr. Smith turns to face Agatha, who isn't looking at him, and asks, "Does she know who you really are!?"

"Does it make a big difference?"

"She isn't the right girl for you, Zeus, so divorce her!"

"Otherwise, what?" "She's my wife," he smirked, "and a man like me has to stick with only one girl, doesn't he?"

His father becomes even more enraged, and Zeus realizes that this is the beginning of their problem, but he doesn't care. When he grabbed Agatha's arm and pulled her away from the altar, his father intervened.

"She isn't the right woman for you! Why can't you understand it?"

"If she's not the right girl, who is?" he chuckled sarcastically.

"Adeline, she's the chosen one, the right girl for you."

"No, father, you chose her, and I'm not marrying her because I'm already married."

"I know who the right girl for me is, and Agatha is the right one, so don't you dare hurt her, or else I'll forget who you are in my life," he simply says to his father.

That's all he said before leaving the place with Agatha; he can even feel the young lady's sudden silence, but he's thanking her for being silent for a moment. He can even feel the presence of his pack behind him, and now that he has the loyalty of his pack, his power will never be threatened.

Because being a packless alpha is a weakness, someone could kill you and become alpha, which Zeus did not want to happen.

'If I have to keep her by my side until she dies, I will,' he thought.
