They were about to get engaged and there is no way they could escape this.
In fact, William wouldn't want to escape this. He needed to get engaged. Otherwise, he would not receive the strong support of Henry's pack.
He needs as much backing as possible to go against Steven and his army.
If one needed a strong backing, how could one miss out on Henry's pack? It is the strongest pack in the country.
Hence, he did not care even if he had to get engaged to Henry's daughter if it's what was needed to get his pack's support.
After walking outside for a long time neither of the duo talked a single word.
Surprisingly, it was William that opened his mouth to ask, "So? Your father forced you into this marriage?"
Samantha, whose head had always been lowered, raised her head in surprise and looked straight into William's eyes.
