His Bride By Force
"You think you've seen me unhinged?" I asked with a dark grin. "Tonight... I'm not your husband. I'm the man you betrayed."
I kissed her then, without restraint, and she stifled a moan that threatened to escape her lips.
"You should be scared," I whispered, brushing my fingertips along her spine, slow and teasing, then down over the swell of her ass. My palm lingered, gripping one cheek possessively. "Because you've just given yourself to the devil."
I leaned down, my lips brushing her ear.
"And the devil? He doesn’t believe in mercy."
....
I should have known better than to sign his contract.
My new husband was never meant to be real. He was supposed to be a name on paper, a shield against the vultures circling my late husband's empire. An arrangement with an expiration date.
But Killian Cross doesn't let go.
He's ruthless, obsessive, and dangerously possessive. The kind of man who doesn't just own his empire. He owns everything in his grasp. And now, that includes me.
I thought I could play his game. That I could survive the year, take my freedom, and walk away unscathed.
I was wrong.
Because my contract husband has made one thing clear. I belong to him now.
But what if he's the real enemy hidden in the shadows?

Chapter: 88: HomeKILLIAN Rafael nodded, a tender look in his eyes. "Rue has always been smaller than her age. I made Arabella tell me the truth."My angel's eyes welled up with tears, and she moved to my side, burying her face against my chest as she let out a sob."Yes. She's not his. She's yours, Killian. When Arabella planted that seed..." she sobbed."You doubted."She nodded, and I wrapped my arms around her, stroking her hair as relief flooded my heart.Rue was mine. I knew it. I had felt it. In every part of me."I don't care about the lies," I whispered, pressing a kiss to Sera's forehead. "I care about you. And her. My family."Matteo was sobbing quietly now, his shoulders shaking.Rafael finally stepped closer to him."I loved you, Mat," he said. "You were my big brother. My hero. But you let your pride blind you. You hurt the one person who would've taken a bullet for you.""I—I didn't know what I was doing—""You do now," Rafael cut in. "And you'll spend the rest of your life trying

Chapter: 87: Matteo CrossKILLIAN Her eyes widened, but she didn't speak. I could tell that she was drowning under her doubts. Arabella had done what she always does. She'd sown poison and watched it bloom. But it wasn't her venom that I cared about.It's what I saw on Sera's face.Guilt. Fear. And doubt."Come with me," I told her softly.She hesitated, and I saw the war flash in her eyes. I didn't wait for her to decide. I walked to the closet, grabbed a shirt, and pulled it over my head with hands that were still stiff and aching. My body screamed with every movement, still healing from the drugs, the beatings, and the restraints that Arabella and Matteo used.But this pain was nothing compared to the one roaring in my chest.Sera followed me without a word, her face pale.Roman was already waiting outside the door, straightening when he saw me fully dressed."She's still in the East Wing chamber.

She ignored me, and I grabbed her chin, forcing her eyes to mine."I said, look at me, you rotting piece of filth."She blinked, dazed. Her lips curled with amusement."Still playing the devoted wife?" She rasped, her voice cracked and slurred. "You came all this way... just for me?"I smiled sweetly, then I slapped her across the face hard enough that blood sprayed across the floor."Keep testing me," I said softly. "Please. Give me an excuse to start with your teeth."Her lips trembled, but the smugness returned quickly."You're shaking," she breathed. "Is it fear or rage, Sera?"I stepped away and reached for the tray that had been prepared. My fingers brushed cold metal. Scalpels, clamps, and a syringe I'd filled myself. One of them was already laced with a slow-acting toxin, one that paralyzed the vocal cords last.Arabella flinched when she saw it. She should be afraid.The door creaked open behind me, and I tu

His breathing was steady. There were no more shudders or flinches.But I didn't feel relief just yet.Because last night... just before the fever broke... he'd said something I couldn't unhear."She was on top of me...""I couldn't stop her.""I didn't want it...please—"The sound of his voice had gutted me.I pressed a fist to my mouth now, the memory replaying itself in my head. Tears blurred my vision, my body curling tighter into itself.I told myself I'd misheard, but those words hadn't been vague. Rage had sunk into me then.

The years have been... unkind to some of us. But you're like an undying rose."I stared at him. He must be joking. What did he expect me to do? Smile and accept his compliment? I'd rather not. He wasn't the same man he used to be. The one I used to respect and admire. He'd become twisted, blinded by his own selfish desires.And worse, he'd been in charge of my torture. He'd separated my child from me. His reckoning was coming, but for tonight, all that mattered was Killian."You disgust me," I said to Matteo.His smile faltered.

Chapter: Epilogue RAELYNN It was snowing tonight, although not as much as it did during Christmas Eve which was a couple of days ago. Glancing at the light blue sky, I bit my lower lip. A smile tugged at my lips at the sound of the giggles of my youngest child, a new addition to my family. I could hear Rai's deep voice all the way from the sitting room. Together with the sound of the twins' laughter, these sounds had become my favourite. When the sounds ceased, I listened closely for the sound of approaching footsteps. The door opened and I turned around to find Rai standing there with little Aiden in his arms. His amber eyes warmed when they met mine. "Hey," I said and he made his way towards me, pulling me into a hug. I brought my hand to the nape of his neck, letting my fingers drift through the strands of his hair. Rai had ditched his long hair for a shorter hair and a clean undercut. "What's on your mind?" He asked and I beamed at him, running my fingers over his handsome face. "I'm j

Chapter: Ninety Two RAI Her wedding dress was perfect. Watching her walk towards me with her father made my heart flutter wildly against my rib cage. This wasn't our first wedding. Even so, this day felt like something out of a daydream. When she got to me, she held out a gloved hand to me, which I accepted right away. Steering her towards me, I took a deep breath. "Rai," I heard her whisper. The mere sound of her calling my name sent a wave of heat coursing through my veins. Her gaze met mine and I smiled, a wave of relief washing over me. I'd spent years yearning for her. Still, I'd lied to myself. I'd refused to accept how much I wanted her. I'd been foolish. It didn't help that I'd been struck by an overwhelming guilt when I'd learnt of her 'death'.Fate had given me a new chance to love her properly.

I eyed her with annoyance. Was everything she'd just displayed merely an act? If it was, it made a lot of sense. She was a part of the witch council. There was no way she was truly afraid of me. Was there something I was missing? As I thought about this, she straightened and cracked a manic smile at me, her eyes glowing with what appeared to be a murderous intent. "You're going to pay for everything you've done," she drawled and I clenched my fists. I didn't understand what she meant. As far as I could tell, I had never encountered her before. Therefore, there was no way I could've offended her unless..."You're the one who invited me here, aren't you? You planned this from the start," I said and she chuckled dryly. "I guess you aren't dumb," she commented, folding her arms across her chest.I obse

It's been nearly ten minutes, you know?" Rai said, his gaze unwavering.Austin cleared his throat, leaning back on his seat."My bad," he mumbled and I raised a brow at him. "Alright, try not to freak out--" he started to say, and Rai's expression darkened."Are you kidding me, Austin? Spit it out already," Rai hissed, his impatience written all over his face. "The witch council wishes to have a meeting with Raelynn," Austin stated and my frown deepened."And how's that supposed to be bad news?" I asked and he winced."They must have gotten wind of your involvement with the red tulip cult. They also learnt of the fact that you got rid of the plague," he added. Rai heaved a sigh, running his fingers through his hair."That's not good," he mumbled."I still don't understand. Am I too dull for this?" I said and Rai reached acr

Chapter: Eighty NineRAELYNN Rose must've thought that she was doing a good job at blurring the line between the truth and the lie. Nonetheless, I'd figured it out. The spell was linked to the fact that I was mated to Rai. "Raelynn..." Rai rasped, his breathing strained. My heart ached for him. It was obvious at this point. Our destinies were ill-fated. We were bound to hurt each other as long as we were bound by our bonds. I'd forgiven him for hurting me and I didn't want him to suffer because of me anymore. With this thought, I came to a conclusion that the only way to save him was to lose him. "It's alright. I'll set you free," I whispered and he smiled weakly. The lights in his eyes grew dim as he gasped for air. I swallowed hard, fresh tears filling my eyes."I, Raelynn Norman, reject you, Rai Vidal..."His eyes bulged in their sockets, terror written all over his face."No...." His voice was laced with desperation when he spoke again.I knew he would refuse to reject me. Even s

Chapter: Eighty EightRAI At first, I felt as though I was trapped in an empty space. I couldn't feel my body and I didn't know where I was. By the time I snapped back to reality, I felt as though I was watching myself from afar. And, when I saw the mortifying scene unfolding before my eyes, I went ballistic. "So this is it. This is what it feels like to be in Alpha Rai's body," I heard myself say. It took me a moment to realize what was really good on. Kyan was inside my body. But how?How did things escalate to this aggravating point?It didn't help that I couldn't recall much. When Kyan attempted to kiss my woman, a dam of fury was unlocked inside of me. Therefore, my will to recover my body waxed stronger. Raelynn attempted to push my body away from her and when it didn't work, she jammed her elbow into my guts and I doubled over. I was relieved to know that she'd managed to free herself from Kyan. "Why are you running? Play with me a little longer, will you?" Kyan screamed as he chased afte

It is as though they can see something they're not supposed to see. "Oi, Creed! What's that on your neck?" Someone calls out. My stomach plummets, my throat constricting. My neck?

And that is really strange.I watch as he places new scent blockers around my wrists, but these look different. They are transparent and barely noticeable.

The warmth from the cup soaked into my palms, and I stared down at it as if it held answers. Stefan was gone. The Hollow King was defeated. Zion... my son—gods, my son—was finally safe. We were free in every way we never thought we could be. And still, I didn't know what to do with the quiet. I didn’t know how to let go of the war in my chest.
