Enemy of My Pack ️

I still couldn't believe I was doing this. What had happened in the last twenty minutes? I had just signed my life away to a total stranger and I didn't even stop to think about it. There must be something wrong with me.

"Okay, congratulations Mr and Mrs Kingsley. "

So I was now Mrs Kingsley? I was now married? Lily was going to kill me. I just knew it.

Great, just great. I had succeeded in turning my entire world upside down in just a few minutes.

"Thank you so much for agreeing to do this. You have no idea how much this means to me. " he said, taking my hands in his.

"You're welcome..... I'm sorry I forgot to ask your name." I replied

"It's Alexander, Alexander Kingsley. Now it's time for you to meet my parents and let them know we're married."

"Now?" I asked

"Yes actually. Is there a problem?"

Yes, there were several problems. The biggest one being the fact that I just got married to a total stranger. The next one being that Lily was going to kill me as soon as she found out about this.

"I need to change my outfit if I am going to meet your parents. I don't know what they are like and I need them to have a good first impression of me." I replied, staring down at my outfit. I was dressed in a t-shirt and baggy jeans since I had only planned on going to the grocery store but somehow I had ended up at the courthouse, again.

What was wrong with me? I couldn't keep doing this. I needed to focus. First, I had to change my clothes and then hopefully survive meeting his parents.

"I'll just go home and change and meet you back here in about thirty minutes. " I said

"Where do you live?" he asked

"Not far actually. I live about two blocks away from here. I promise I won't waste your time."

"Is it okay if we drop you off at your house and wait for you?"

"Are you sure you want to do that?" I asked

"Sure, why not? "

"Alright then, let's go." I said and got up from my chair

You are definitely going to regret this, I said to myself.

We got to my apartment a few minutes later and I made him wait in the car while I went upstairs to my apartment to get ready.

Lily was sitting on the couch, reading a book when I walked in.

"Finally, you're back. Did you end up at the courthouse again? " she asked

I nodded

"I thought you were getting groceries. Why did you come back empty-handed? "

"Okay enough with the questions now. I have somewhere to be right now so I can't talk much."

I left her in the living room and went inside my room. I began rummaging through my closet looking for a dress to wear. After about five minutes of searching, I gave up and decided that I would borrow one of Lily's dresses instead.

"Hey Lily, can I borrow one of your dresses? " I asked

"What for?" she asked

"Look, I don't have time to explain but I really need a dress to wear right now. "I replied

"Are you going on a date?"

"Yes and no. It's complicated. "

"What do you mean by 'complicated '?"

"Like I said, I don't have time to explain right now but I promise I'll tell you everything when I get back. I just need a dress to wear right now." I pleaded

"Fine. I've got some dresses in my closet. I'm sure you'll find one that fits." She replied

I thanked her and went inside her room. I found a dress I liked and tried it on. Fortunately, it was my size. I grabbed a pair of heels from her closet as well and hurriedly began applying my make-up. I was done in about twenty minutes. I checked myself out in the mirror before saying goodbye to Lily and climbing down the stairs.

My heart was pounding. I had no idea what I just signed up for. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down before I got to the car. I entered the car and closed the door.

"Wow, you look amazing. " Alex complimented

"Thank you. We can leave now. "

"Are you sure you are okay with this?" he asked

I nodded. I couldn't say a word because I was trying to keep myself from crying so as not to ruin my make-up but it was getting harder each second.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm really sorry I forced you into this but I didn't have any other choice. I was already out of options and almost out of time."

"It's fine. I already agreed to help you. Besides it's too late to change anything. We are already married. Let's just go and see your parents. "
