Chapter 24: Chapter 30: I Will Not Marry Her

Axel

Irritation and frustration boil in me as I look at the dead phone in my hand. She hung up the phone on me, the little witch!

"I hope your mother likes the gift," Angela says next to me, and her voice makes me cringe inside. "I know I would."

"Come on," I say politely and guide her out of the store.

The very last thing I am in the mood for right now is this woman and my mother. Mother adores Angela and the two of them are insufferable together. Not even a deaf person can ignore the blatant hints that I should marry Angela.

And yes, on paper she is the perfect mate. She is an alpha's daughter, and their pack is strong. Our parents have been friends for years and I know nothing will bring them greater joy than me tying the knot with Angela.
