Chapter 265: Tell Them To Act like Men

"No way. I can not marry you," Angela stepped back with a frown. She didn’t understand why the moon goddess would choose her of all people. The prophecy had already made many come after her, seeking immortality. Now she wondered if more would follow after this man who called himself the Patriarch. "I don’t know what you saw in that prophecy, but there is nothing true about it."

"The prophecy was given by your grandmother. She made you very special, I must say," the Patriarch said with a smirk. He stepped closer until he stood right before her. Lifting her chin with his cold fingers, he whispered, "Many people, including I, thought it was a bluff. After all, who would give such power to a girl?"

"I don’t have what you are looking for," Angela snarled, pushing his hand away. There was nothing special about a man who hid his face and his identity but claimed to be a great king. "Look, there have been a lot of misunderstandings about the prophecy. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions that I can give you a child. Do you even hear yourself?"

"I know I am not making a mistake, my dear."

"I am not ready to marry anyone or make babies for them," she said sharply. "Go back and read the prophecy again. Maybe you’ll find something that actually helps you."

"You are not listening. I have been kind enough to you," the Patriarch said firmly. "We are getting married, dear. I am not asking."

Angela felt disgusted by his words. How dare he make such a decision for her and try to force it on her? He might be a king, but he wasn’t her king and he needed to remember that.

"Well, Mr. King, I am not going to marry you. It’s over my dead body!" she shouted, pointing her finger at him. "I have mates, and you are not one of them. It’s better you stay away from me, do you understand?"

It was so fast she didn’t even see it coming. A sharp, dirty slap landed on her cheek, throwing her off balance. Her face burned, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

A deep growl came from the man in front of her. His anger filled the air, his voice trembling with fury. "You will go upstairs and get ready. We are getting married tonight, little girl. It’s a command. No one is asking for your opinion."
