Quick shout out to KaetieB from AO3, for being the first person to guess that the mysterious beta is Uncle Ben. Now on with the chapter lets see how Darcy handles the news of her marriage.

Darcy's POV

Darcy was shoved into the bridal suite by her Uncle's men. She wasn't exactly sure what was going on when she was told that her Uncle wanted to see her and that she was being escorted to where he was located. She looked around the room and noticed that it was pretty empty, it was just Tali, her uncle, the tailor for the dresses and the makeup/hair artist. Tali looked extremely worried and upset, as soon as she saw Darcy she rushed over.

"Darcy, I don't care what Papa says. You do not have to do this, you're too young. Okay? You don't have to. If you want, we can go on a road trip to wherever you want to go just please Darcy..." Tali tearfully rambled as she grabbed Darcy in a hug.

"Um...Tali? What is going on?" Darcy asked timidly as she leaned into the older beta's arms. Darcy could smell the worry coming off Tali in waves as well as the frustration her Uncle was feeling, which was making Darcy worried. Because when her uncle was that frustrated it never ended well for anyone. Despite this Darcy could not help but enjoy the hug that her cousin was giving her. It had been a long time since she had been hugged like this, Hell it had been a long time since someone was visibly worried about her. Her musings were caught short as her Uncle finally had enough.

"That is ENOUGH Tali! She is doing it; she does not have a choice and she will be grateful." He snapped out. The force of his tone was enough to make Tali release her, and to make Darcy want to curl up in a ball and die because her alpha was upset.

Even though Tali had released her she still was standing in front of her, almost like she was trying to shield me from something. Tali merely bared her teeth in a snarl, "I am not allowing you to sell Darcy off like some broodmare to a killer!" She shouted.

"Are you going against your Alpha pup?" He demanded as he started to walk towards her his agitation becoming heavier in the air that Darcy literally had to sink to her knees because her legs could not hold her up. Darcy really hated her heat, even on suppressants she was more susceptible to any alpha's emotions.

"If I have too then YES!" Tali shouted; Darcy just looked at her amazed. She had heard that occasionally a beta will go against their alpha because of something they fundamentally disagreed with. Usually, the alpha would stop and try to reason with the beta or just not do whatever it was they was going to do. Darcy had heard stories where, if the beta thought the pack alpha was endangering the lives of the omega, then they would go berserk trying to fix it.

"טלי לחזור עכשיו או אחרת" He commanded, Tali hesitated for a brief moment, "אני כבר נסער מספיק, אלא אם כן אתה רוצה להתמודד עם התוצאות, אז אתה תיסוג" he exclaimed. Tali slowly backed down from where she was standing. Darcy let out an audible sigh in relief as the tension slowly left the room. She stumbled to her feet. "Will someone please tell me what is going on now?" she demanded.

Her Uncle just sighed and gestured for her and Tali to sit down. "As you know, Darcy is the niece of my third wife Deborah. What you do not know is that your aunt had me swear a Blood-pack Oath to her…"

"But those are unbreakable!" Tali exclaimed, "Just attempting to go against one can bring unbearable pain."

"Yes Tali, now as I was saying. I swore to your aunt that I would take care of you until you were married. I also have to make sure that whoever you married is capable of looking after and protecting you…"

"Protecting! I do not need protection; I can take care of myself!" Uncle Abelardo just leveled Darcy with an unimpressed look.

"Yes, because the fact that you got taken as a hostage instills me with so much confidence. You are also an omega, while they are not as rare as they used to be, you are still in the minority and as an unbonded omega you will be easily influenced by any stray alpha you meet. Now, if you two are finished interrupting me I shall continue, yes?" He asked with an unamused brow raised. The two girls exchanged a glance before focusing their sheepish gaze on the marble floor.

"My job is to make sure that you are looked after, I also have to look after the rest of my pack, and I have to pay back the assassin despite the fact I do not wish to. Darcy you said that he was your soulmate, I am also incapable of allowing you to marry a man that would potentially hurt you. Considering the fact that I am not on the floor screaming in pain I would say that I have succeeded. Now, I need to repay the man for saving my pack's life this time. Luckily giving an omega to an unattached alpha is considered an appropriate form of repayment by pack law." He paused and gave Darcy a critical look from head to toe before he continued, "I have also had difficulties with this particular assassin before and giving you to him may give me a few years of peace. It would certainly be a relief not to have you hang around all the time." He mumbled the last part.

Darcy bristled at the way he was casually disregarding her opinion and just deciding that she would just get married. "I am not getting married just because it is convenient to some stranger that I don't know!"

He glared at her, "YOU WILL DO AS YOU ARE TOLD!" then in a softer tone, "You seem to forget Darcy that I am your pack leader, that means you will do as I say, and you will smile while you do it." He scanned her over again before turning to Tali. "The wedding will be held in two hours, make sure she is presentable." Before he stormed out of the room muttering, "I have a judge to talk to."

Once the door was shut Darcy broke down in tears, her body shaking with uncontrollable sobs.

Tali's POV

Tali sighed as she gazed down on her young cousin, the day had certainly gone to hell. She sighed as she gently rubbed the girls back. Tali genuinely cared for her cousin even though she did not often show it, she was also a bit smarter than people thought. Not much but a bit, now Tali often saw Darcy as the younger sister she never had, though she would not be surprised if she had a couple of half-siblings out there somewhere. The thing was she always knew that her father would probably sell Darcy to the highest bidder. She just did not realize that it would be a cold-blooded killer! Tali was no fool. She knew what her father did for a living, hell he had taught her some of the business, but she also knew that her father only killed when it was necessary for the survival of their family and pack. Now? She was not so sure.

"Come on Darcy, let's get you ready." She gently pulled Darcy to her feet and gave her a gentle push towards where the makeup artist was standing. "Go get ready, I will figure out the dress."

She swiftly walked over to where the dress tailor was located, she braced herself for the long argument that she was headed towards about getting Darcy's dress last minute. Well, she may not be able to get Darcy out of this, but she would be damned if Darcy didn't get to at least where her dream wedding dress.

Well, that was certainly eye opening. Poor Darcy :( but hey! You got to see a bit more into Tali's mind and how Darcy is feeling about this whole marriage thing. Also, Tali is still extremely selfish, but she does care a bit about Darcy. Sadly, she is a bit unaware of just how awful her father actually is. Next chapter will be the wedding! I really hope you are enjoying this! Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Type to you later!
