His Mate, His Girlfriend by Sunshine Princess

Marry Me
David.
I introduced Love to my family.
She was angry that I didn’t tell her we were coming here, but she remained amicable to my family, like a real lady. I was surprised how she fit in and interacted with everyone.
My family was impressed with Love and told me to marry her soon
before someone took her from me.
I checked the diamond ring once more, and my mother nodded encouragingly.
I gathered everyone and wrapped my hand around her waist. Love tensed, and her heart was racing in her chest. I knew she suspected what was to come right away.
She warily glanced at me, but I didn’t give her my full attention.
Everyone, thank you for being here. As you know, Love is the woman of my dreams,”
We have to talk, please,” she whispered. Love was agitated,
Just a minute, sweetheart,” I told her. I already knew why she wanted to talk to me. She wanted us to break up because she wanted to be Carter, but I wouldn’t allow it to happen. Ellis Carter was not having what I wanted. He always has everything, but he won’t have
Love.
My mom, the dramatic, was already crying with happiness. Honestly, her illness would serve me. Love would feel guilty for rejecting me in front of my ‘sick’ mother. Since my girlfriend’s arrival, my mother could only talk about how ‘fragile’ her heart was. She only wanted

attention. She craved it, but I wouldn’t say it as it availed my purpose.
On one knee, I opened the velvet box with an engagement ring.

Gasps went through the room, ” Love Chasia, you’re the woman of my dreams and the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” I asked.
Love was stunned. She was rendered speechless, but not the delighted kind. I could tell she wasn’t impressed by me, but I’ll pacify her anger later.
Please say yes,” Mom begged with tears in her eyes.
Don’t pressure her, Darling,” Didi hissed.
Shut up, gold – you know what!” Mom gritted. I closed my eyes momentarily at their bickering.
Dad shut them both up, seeing Grandmother was exhausted by their fight.
“So, my Love. Will you marry me?” I asked again.
“David, it’s only been three months. It’s too early. Don’t you think?” she asked carefully. Love wore a tense expression,
“It’s not too early. I’ve thought about this long and hard. I want to marry you,”
“I can’t marry you, David,” she said gently. I predicted a rejection, but I didn’t expect it would hurt this much,” I’m not ready,”
“You don’t have to get married immediately,” My mother said, going to us.” This would make me feel better. Lately, nothing seems to make me happy,” she was holding her head in pain.
My mother was helping me out whether she realized it or not. Love’s worried gaze was on my mom, and I placed the ring on her finger, ” Keep the engagement ring. We won’t announce it,”

The way I know Love, she wouldn’t cause a scene in front of my family.
“Yes, please,” Mom added. It was silent in the room. Everyone was holding their breath.
Love nodded slowly, for my mother’s sake, and everyone clapped. I pulled her to my chest and kissed her forehead. Her body was slightly shaking. I must have caught her so off guard.
“Yes,” My grandmother hugged her. Love did not react whatsoever as they popped bottles of champagne in celebration. I needed a stiff drink if I was going to speak to her later.
I went to Mother. I gave her a drink, but she rejected it.
“I
Oh, you’re illness,” I mocked.
“I
“Don’t mock me, son. It is because of me Love is contemplating marrying you,” she smirked.
As much as you would like to take credit for this engagement, it wasn’t all your doing. I’m pretty persuasive, and she would have agreed to marry me,” I said confidently. I didn’t know how, but I knew she was fond of me, and I would have used that to make her agree to
marry me.
‘You all know she didn’t agree, right?’ My lycan, Den, scoffed. He was right. I only put a ring on her figure. Love didn’t say yes to marrying me. However, I couldn’t agree with my lycan.
But she’s wearing the ring,’ I boasted.
‘Only because Mother pressured her to and she didn’t want her to fall with a heart attack or something!’ I wasn’t in the mood to deal with my inner counterpart right now, so I shut him away.
My mother cradled my face in her hands,” Oh, honey. That woman
has been maintaining a safe distance from you all evening and acting weird even though she was pleasant to us all. It’s obvious her heart belongs to another man,”

We were looking at Love now. She was talking to Didi and Noona.
