Chapter 121: Unwanted Attention

Moana

I was still completely and utterly shocked that Edrick announced that we were in a relationship on live television. Even long after Selina shut off the TV and ordered the maids to return to their work, and even after I woke Ella up and got her ready for the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

In some ways, I was elated that Edrick announced that I was his “secret fiancee”, since it meant that he may have been slowly coming around to the idea that we could be together. However, I still didn’t know exactly what all of this meant.

Would we only be in a fake relationship?

If this really did only ever turn out to be a fake publicity stunt, I couldn’t help but wonder if it would only cause more confusion and pain. Our relationship was already rocky enough as it currently stood; even though Edrick knew that I was a werewolf now, I could still tell that he had hangups about real marriage. Not only that, but I didn’t even know if we were mates. If Mina never fully emerged, then becoming true mates wouldn’t even be possible. That was why so many wolfless adults wound up being shunned by the majority of the werewolf world; obviously, there were countless other reasons for it as well, but one of the major reasons was that wolfless adults couldn’t create a mate bond. Therefore, werewolves who did have their wolves wouldn’t want to waste their time trying to bond with someone who could never feel the same way.

Aside from that, the thought of only ever being a fake wife made me uneasy. I wanted to be with someone who loved me and devoted themselves to me and our child, not someone who only pretended to be in love with me to keep the media from creating negative news articles about us. The whole thing felt somewhat fishy, and I couldn’t decide by that point if I should have just been happy that this potentially meant that Edrick wouldn’t marry someone else and make our home life confusing for our baby and Ella, or if I should try to find out what his true intentions were.
