Arranged Alliance
When you’re rich, an alpha and the oldest child... Nothing is ever your choice. You either did something to benefit your family name or because it was required to make sure you still looked good to the outside world. Unless you were Gideon. Then you did things to hide your past and protect your sister. That’s why he was sitting in the car with his biological father, who just came into his life a year ago, and his sister.
The Paynes were one of the most wealthy and prestigious names as were the Hales. Which automatically meant that there was to be something conspired among the families. That’s where Gideon came in, as an Alpha, he needed a mate, one that would provide the best line for the families to rely on in later years. The only problem was Gideon had a distinct taste for men and neither of the male twin Hales were Omega. Just Talia.
A grimace was etched on his face as they parked in front of the Hale house. This wasn’t what he wanted. He’d been fine being a playboy billionaire on the weekends. Now he was to be forcibly married to a poor woman who deserved much better. He knew he would never love her. Provide and protect her, yes, but love her, no. He climbed from the car with his family, sans his mother, and walked into the Hale house. This was going to be a long and agonizing day but he put on his most charming smile as he came face to face with the other family.
