Chapter 39: West

Erik's POV

"Married?!" I asked again, hoping to hear another response.

"Yes, they will get married next week," Clara said calmly.

"They've only known each other for over a month, and they will get married?!" I asked, my voice getting higher.

"Calm down, will you? It's not that surprising!" Clara exclaimed.

"It's too early," I said, shaking my head.

"Too early? When we first met, we already shared a bed. That's early," Clara retorted.

"That's a different matter," I said.

"Look, aren't you happy that his mate wants to marry her and take her as his husband, not just his mate? Melissa is not a child. She's an adult, even older than me, and I got married first! She supported you in everything, and it is your turn to support her happiness," Clara said, scolding me.

I understand what Clara is saying and know she is correct, but I still can't accept it. I frowned and slumped my back in the chair. I glanced at Clara, and she walked toward me.
