Married To My Ex-husband's Half-brother
Neriah's perfect life was a lie. Her husband's loyalty was a facade, shattered when she discovers his illicit affair with her own sister. The ultimate betrayal: her sister just gave birth to her husband’s child, a replica of the man she loved.
But that was only the beginning. A brutal accident nearly claims her life, and in the depths of her recovery, her husband's true intentions are revealed - a press conference announcing her death, a twisted attempt to erase her existence.
Consumed by a thirst for vengeance, Neriah finds an unlikely ally in Denver, her husband's sworn enemy and half-brother. A proposal is made: a contract marriage, a union of convenience, with one rule - DO NOT FALL IN LOVE. .
As the stakes rise, Neriah and Denver dance to the tune of vengeance, but they must confront the ultimate question: Will their hunger for revenge consume them, or will they succumb to the one thing they cannot afford— Love?

Chapter: Epilogue DENVER'S POVThe world has stopped making sense since the day the bomb went off. That moment Ethan disappeared into that wall of fire for the woman I love. Neriah had collapsed into my arms that day, her body seizing with pain and fear and shock until she went into a forced labor. So much has happened in the past six months; Liam was sentenced to life imprisonment due to all the murders on his hands, Laura was sentenced to thirty five years for attempted murder and conspiracy and my Neriah slipped into a coma right after the emergency C-section that had to be carried out on her. I haven't even been to work in the past one month. After Ethan's funeral which held last month because of Neriah's situation, I took some of my important belongings and returned to Atlanta so I could be close to Neriah and my baby. My lips curl as I turn my mind's eye to his plump, suckling lips. He was placed in the incubator for three whole months after the

Chapter: CHAPTER 228NERIAH’S POVThe second Denver opens the car door, a whimper claws its way out of my throat.My whole body trembles violently, desperate, broken gasps slipping out of me as if my body is fighting against itself just to stay conscious.I can’t believe Laura did this to me. She strapped me to a real bomb with a fucking timer counting down to the end of my life. She truly meant to kill me and my baby in the most horrific way imaginable.Denver’s face swims into view, but he’s not as the man I've known. All the strength, fire, and all his impossible fury seems to be gone as soon as he sets eyes on the bomb. He collapses in front of me, demoralized, his eyes wide with this hollow, tortured disbelief as he stares at the bomb strapped to my torso.“Denver…” I try to speak but the gag muffles my voice. Tears slips down the sides of my face as he cups my face with his. I can see him struggling to keep his hands away from me, just so he doesn't tri

Chapter: CHAPTER 227DENVER'S POV It's exactly two hours ten minutes to twelve hours. After speaking with Laura to assure her that I've met her demands, I called the sheriff. His voice still echoes in my head as I step out of the house, sliding my jacket on with trembling hands. My hands won't stay steady no matter how steady I try to force them."You'll drive there alone as she requested," he'd began, "Then you hand the car and cash over and let her leave without any suspicions. She’ll take the bait. We'll have the chopper ready to follow immediately after the exchange. The ground units will move in once she tries to drive out of Atlanta, she'll be completely boxed in."I just hope everything goes as smoothly as the sheriff is promising or else I'd tear Laura's head from her neck myself. Today I'll do whatever it takes to save my wife and baby. Ethan walks in at that exact moment, Eden in tow. The girl had barely had any rest and Ethan kept asking to take

Chapter: CHAPTER 226LAURA'S POV Suddenly I’m twelve again, cross-legged on the living room floor, tearing open snack packs like a greedy little monster while she begged me to at least try to stay awake through arithmetic.God, I was terrible. And she was worse for allowing it.She'd always been like that...weak. Allowing herself to be a pushover just so I could get whatever I wanted. I can't believe she fucking wanted to help me after she released that video. What sane person exposes their enemy and then attempts to help them escape afterwards?A dry laugh escapes me before I can stop it. I remember the exact expression on her face the day I’d finally cajoled her into giving me her biscuits, juice boxes, those stupid little gummy worms she loved. I’d threatened not to read a single page of the literature text unless she promised a daily supply and she did it for eight. whole. months.I can still feel the triumph burning in my chest when she agreed. I can st

Chapter: CHAPTER 225NERIAH'S POV "Fifty million?" I scoff as soon as the words leave her mouth. "How dare you, Laura?" "Shut up," she hisses at me. From the way her hands are trembling I know she doesn't have all of this figured out. If she does, then she must be extremely nervous, and Laura's not someone I've known to be the nervous type no matter the situation. "You know you're not leaving this state, right?" "I asked you to shut the hell up!" She snaps, turning back to me, her eyes glaring daggers. A smile curls on my lips. "You still don't understand what you just did to yourself, do you? You shouldn't have called Denver or let him know you're the one behind the kidnap. Now he's coming for you." Blood drains from her face but she quickly gathers herself, walking up and down the space that once used to be our dining room. Laura and I never cared to refurbish this house because neither of us needed the place. After our parents died

Chapter: CHAPTER 224DENVER'S POV It's been four hours and no one has fucking heard anything from or about Neriah. "We have all our men stationed at strategic places," the sheriff is saying, "No one can successfully take her out without my men sighting such person. We already began a manhunt based on the description miss Eden gave so if she's still here in Atlanta, we'll be sure to find her."Words. That's all I've hearing for the past four hours. Eden and I have already undergone several interrogations, yet with all the information they have, they've been able to do nothing. "Who would want to kidnap your wife, and why?" The sheriff had asked but no reasonable answers have come to mind. Liam's stupid, but not stupid enough to attempt something like that when he's in the middle of a big trial. Laura's been missing for a couple of months now so she wouldn't suddenly resurface to do something this dangerous to her sister. Besides she's not bald.

Chapter: Chapter 43FREYAThe rest of the patrol moved ahead of us, escorting the rogue back toward the house, and somehow, without either of us deciding it outright, Dante and I fell behind, letting the distance between us and the group stretch until the sound of their footsteps faded into the quiet hum of the forest at night.Neither of us mentioned it. We simply walked slower, matching pace without discussion, the moonlight filtering in thin and silvery through the canopy of foilage overhead, painting the path ahead in soft, shifting patches of light and shadow. The night had cooled considerably since we’d first set out, a faint mist beginning to curl low along the forest floor, and somewhere in the distance an owl called out once before falling silent again, the whole world settling into a hush that felt private, almost sacred, entirely separate from the chaos of the clearing we’d left behind.“You’re limping ever so slightly,” Dante said eventually, glancing at me sideways with quiet concern.“It’s

Chapter: Chapter 42FREYAI didn’t decide to move. My body simply moved for me.One moment I was stumbling forward into the dirt, pain radiating hot across my shoulder, and the next I was already turning, low and fast, some instinct older than conscious thought taking hold of every muscle at once. The rogue lunged again, teeth bared, claws extended, and I ducked beneath the strike with a fluidity that felt nothing like the careful, practiced movements Kendrick had drilled into me over the past months.This felt like an entirely different thing. A dormant instinct that had always been there, buried and waiting, finally allowed to surface.I caught the rogue’s forearm mid-strike, twisting hard and using his own momentum the way Tobias had taught me weeks ago, except my body executed the movement faster and cleaner than I’d ever managed in training, no hesitation slowing the motion down. The rogue’s balance broke instantly, and I drove my elbow back into his ribs with a force that sent him staggering, a pai

Chapter: Chapter 41FREYAKendrick assigned me to the night patrol without much warning, catching me in the hallway after breakfast with the same brisk efficiency he brought to every decision.“You’ve earned it,” he said, before I could ask why. “Months of training, and you’ve shown consistent instinct in every drill I’ve thrown at you. Patrol will test that instinct against real stakes instead of staged ones. Be at the eastern gate by dusk.”I spent the rest of the day equal parts nervous and quietly thrilled, the kind of anticipation I hadn’t associated with myself in longer than I could remember. Months ago I would have assumed patrol was reserved entirely for warriors who’d proven themselves through years of loyal service, certainly not for a banished Alpha’s daughter who’d arrived here broken and barefoot. That Kendrick trusted me with this now, without hesitation, without treating it as some kind of exception made for pity’s sake, settled a steady warmth in my chest that no amount of training bruis

Chapter: Chapter 40FREYA“No,” I said quietly, the word landing between us with more weight than I expected. “He didn’t kiss me. He almost did. And that’s the part I can’t stop thinking about.”A weight eased from Damien’s shoulders, though whatever relief crossed his face was quickly buried beneath a more complicated expression, one I couldn’t quite place my hands on. He set the bread aside entirely and gestured toward the back door instead. “Come sit outside with me. I think we both need air more than we need this kitchen right now.”We settled onto the same bench where he’d found me with pastries weeks earlier, the evening settling cool and quiet around us, stars beginning to emerge overhead in scattered points of pale light. For a while neither of us spoke, the silence comfortable in a way it hadn’t been on the walk back from the springs, easier now that the question sitting between us had finally been asked and answered. I found myself watching the way the moonlight caught the edge of his profile,

Chapter: Chapter 39FREYAThe walk back from the springs passed in near total silence, the easy warmth of the afternoon replaced by a tense, unspoken weight that seemed to have settled over the entire pack, though I suspected only three of us actually understood the reason for it. The path that had felt easy and loose on the way there now stretched out endless beneath my feet, every step carrying me further from the moment that had nearly happened and closer to whatever awkward reckoning waited on the other side of it.Dante walked at the front of the group beside Kendrick, his posture rigid, his pace deliberately quick enough that conversation with him would have required jogging to keep up. I trailed near the back instead, my mind still caught somewhere between the pool’s edge and the moment Damien’s voice had shattered whatever had been building there, my body still humming faintly with an awareness I couldn’t quite shake no matter how hard I tried to focus on the trail ahead of me.Somewhere in the m

Chapter: Chapter 38Neither of us moved even an inch. The pool noise, the pack’s laughter, the distant clatter of towels and boots along the rocky bank, all of it faded into a distant, unimportant blur, replaced by the sound of my own heartbeat pounding loud enough to drown out everything else.Dante’s arm stayed wrapped around my waist, steady and unyielding, and I realized, somewhere in the haze of adrenaline still coursing through me, that neither of us had made any move to step back. His chest rose and fell against my palm where I’d braced myself, his breathing as unsteady as mine, and the careful distance he usually kept between us had collapsed entirely in the space of a single misstep. I could smell the cedar and steam still clinging to his skin, mixed with a warmer scent underneath, a note that had always felt distinctly like him even from across a crowded training yard.“You should probably let go of me now,” I said quietly, though I made no effort to pull away myself, my voice coming out far qu
