<h4>Chapter 418: 418-Our Fucking Wedding</h4>
<strong>Yorick:</strong>
"No, I’m not going to marry her," I said to my mother aggressively.
They had dragged me here to the hall to marry me to Oriana. The minute I arrived and looked at her face, I lost it.
I started to scream and throw a tantrum.
My mother had to drag me to the side, to the basement where the ringleaders were supposed to work, to have a word with me.
"Just go with it. Right now, there are too many people against you. There is too much evidence against you," my mother said, her fingers tightening around my biceps.
"No," I said, freeing myself from her. "I told you, I am not doing it." I warned her not to force me.
"You have lost your mind, Yorick. These people will eat you alive," my motherined.
I shook my head again.
"No. You already said it. You know I have a mate," I said to my mother, watching her clench her jaw at me.
"And you hid her from me. If you had told me you had a mate, I would have gotten you both out in time."
My mother grunted, as if she expected me to believe her. She would have been the first one to send Clementine to the North to make her disappear.
"And by the way, that mate of yours, she is noting back. And guess what? Who is there in the North? Who left for the North with her?" my mother asked.
I frowned at her.
"That headmaster’s son, he has been missing too. So you better believe that maybe they never went to the North."
As soon as my mother said that, I crinkled my eyebrows, waiting for her to exin her vaguement.
"You think you were the only one we were going to get out of the academy? That headmaster’s son was on the list too, and with him was Clementine. So you better believe she was never sent to the North. She disappeared, and then the headmaster hid his son too. So they are probably somewhere far away living a happy life together. They are noting back," my mother hissed.
I started to feel like my throat was closing.
"That is not possible. I am mates with her. She cannot just leave without breaking the mate bond with me," I tried to exin.
My mother pped her forehead with her hand.
"She does not even know you are going to survive. For all she knows, you will be sent to the North with thest mission and you will die there. Just like how it was intended to be for the rest."
As my mother said those words, I felt terrible.
Did Clementine seriously just walk out on me because she has her man now?
"That is what I am telling you," my mother said, noticing I was zoned out.
"She is gone, but you are here. You need to do everything to survive, and right now your life is in danger if you do not ept the marriage with that cunning little piece of shit upstairs."
My mother exined, but I could not stop thinking about Clementine.
"Stop worrying about her," my mother said, as if she had already noticed what was on my mind. "You will have plenty of time to think about her if you use your brain and we get you out of here."
I clenched my jaw.
If Clementine had truly left me, then I needed to make sure I got out of here and found her.
"Don’t be stupid and die for someone who has left you. And even if you do not believe me, why would you want to die for a sin you did notmit?" my mother asked, reminding me that if I did not agree to marry and mark Oriana, they would kill me.
I clicked my tongue, then stretched my neck, staring at my mother, who was watching my face with excitement.
"You wanted to have my mate, my fated mate, in front of you, did you not?" I asked my mother, whose smile started to fade.
"How about a chosen mate?" I asked her, and she gave it some thought.
"Might work?" was all she said.
I nodded my head.
"Oriana desperately wanted a husband, Mother. She had been the reason I could not be with Clementine. By the time I was busy trying to win Clementine’s heart, she had ruined everything for me. So how about I finally give her what she deserves? An alpha mate," I said to my mother whose smile started to widen.
"Let’s show her who she picked," I said to my mother, and my smile reached my eyes, mirroring hers.
"Now that is my son. Never leave anyone unpunished who hurt you," my mother said, reminding me of my childhood, when she used to tell me that again and again.
I finally realized I should have punished Oriana when I had time.
Well, it was not toote.
I would give her everything, just to show her she had picked a hell for herself.
"So let’s go then. Let’s mark her," my mother said. As she started to walk ahead of me, I followed her silently. This time, I was at ease.
We walked straight up to the hall, and I noticed how everyone was staring at me with disbelief in their eyes.
They looked unhappy with me. I did not know what hurt me more.
The fact that Oriana had yed things so well against me and caused me to be seen as a monster in front of everyone.
Or the fact that the people I had stayed with actually believed her words.
Part of me began to wonder if they were so keen to believe it because they realized it would cut me out of thepetition they had going on with winning Clementine. It could be both.
As I reached the hall, I was asked to stand next to Oriana. She instantly started to shiver and hug herself.
She continued to act this way. Her so-called family, the same people she imed had killed her father, were here too.
She did not seem to remember she had used them of something like that.
Her stepmother stepped forward to hug her when she panicked.
It all happened in front of me.Some people from the Red Squad mouthed cuss words at me, judging me.
But it was the way Haiden and Troy kept ncing at me that hurt most.
"Oriana is going out on a mission today. But before that mission, we have decided that she will be getting marked by her mate," the headmaster said, making me roll my eyes secretly.
It was clever of him, though. He saved his son, and now he got rid of me from ever intervening in his son and his daughter-inw’s life.
