He Called Me A Stone And Chose Her Pearl Chapter 14
I refused to say a word to him, but Vanessa chatted with him happily.
Afterward, she reported to my mother, “He thinks Laurel is a bit dull, but for Nolan’s sake, he’s willing to accept her.”
“Once Nolan becomes Pack Alpha, this will give him a private connection. Of course he’d jump at the chance.”
I looked at my mother.
“If you agree to this on my behalf, I will not be at the wedding.”
“You can carry my unconscious body through the ceremony if you like, but when I wake up, I will report the coercion to the Greenvale Pack and the Royal Council.”
Something in my eyes must have frightened her, because for once, she didn’t agree on the spot.
A few days later, Sophie finally sensed something was truly wrong and came to the house with Reid.
She couldn’t say outright that I had already accepted Theo’s proposal, so she could only insist that a genuinely suitable marriage was already in the works and awaiting formal confirmation.
Speaking as a Royal Council official, Reid reminded my father that forcing an adult pack member into marriage could cost him his position at the Royal Archives.
Only then did my parents return my phone and restore my freedom.
They no longer had the energy to interfere with me, anyway.
Because a problem had appeared in Vanessa and Nolan’s perfect match.
