The Wrong Bride, Their Right Love
Dark RomanceDramaAlphaDominantCEOAge GapHate to LoveContract Marriage
Yulia never imagined that one mistake could destroy the life she had planned for herself.
At nineteen, she is forced into a marriage with Adrian Blackwood, a ruthless billionaire CEO whose power can crush her family with a single decision. She hates the marriage, hates the cold man she has been forced to call her husband, and most of all, hates the way her heart seems to betray her whenever he's near.
Adrian never wanted a wife he couldn't control. Yulia never wanted a husband at all. Their marriage is nothing more than a powerful arrangement built on family secrets, resentment, and two people determined to stay strangers.
But everything changes when a ruthless Alpha appears.
He claims Yulia as his fated mate.
Suddenly, the billionaire she swore to hate is no longer the only powerful man fighting for her. An ancient werewolf world is closing in around her, secrets about her identity are beginning to surface, and Yulia discovers that her forced marriage may be connected to a destiny far more dangerous than she ever imagined.
Caught between a husband she insists she despises and an Alpha who refuses to let her go, Yulia must uncover the truth before the two worlds collide.
Because sometimes the man you are forced to marry isn't the man you were destined to love...
And sometimes, the person claiming your heart is the one who was never supposed to find you.

Chapter: CHAPTER 6- THE THINGS HE HIDESYULIA'S POV I stared at him quietly. He sat opposite me, his legs crossed and his arms folded on his lap. "Don't you have something to say to me?" I finally broke the silence. He tried to avoid my eyes as he glanced around this room, his fingers tapping against his knuckles lightly. It has been two days since the 'second wife' encounter, and this is the first time he was coming back home. I sighed and spoke again. "Armani. You have been gone for two days...dont you think you owe me an explanation?' "I don't owe you any explanation. I don't need you minding my business, Yulia. " My eyes widened briefly. I sat u straight and uncrossed my arms. "You just called me Yulia." His jaw tightened, and he forced his eyes away. I remained quiet as I stared at him. Why did he call me Yulia? He never called me by my name. So why now? There was something about the way he said it that bothered me, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. I studied his face, searching for

Chapter: CHAPTER 5- The Second MarriageYULIA'S POV"You know, I've never actually liked you."My heart sank as I stared up at Bella."To think you tried to steal from me?" she scoffed.I shook my head repeatedly, rubbing my palms together as I knelt on the floor."Bella, please. I didn't do it.""Then who did?"My mind raced."I—I don't know, but I saw your boyfriend go into your room and run out—"Before I could finish, her palm collided with my cheek. The sharp sting spread across my face."How dare you?"I held my cheek, tears gathering in my eyes."I was telling the truth..."She glared down at me. But no one believed me.No one ever did.*****************************"We've arrived."I slowly opened my eyes. For a moment, I forgot where I was. Then I remembered.Armani immediately ended his phone call and slipped his phone into his pocket before looking at me."You've been quiet for a while."I simply glared at him. My eyes still burned from crying earlier, and I quickly looked away when I felt them beginning to sting

Chapter: CHAPTER 4- The Pretty PrisonerYULIA'S POV "I don't like this dress" I broke the silence and crossed my arms. I wasn't expecting an answer from Armani but I got one anyways. He shifted uneasily beside me and cleared his throat."What is wrong with it?""It is too revealing" I replied and turned to face him. He glanced at his wristwatch before adjusting his tie, his expression unreadable."I prefer this to the ones you picked. We still have an hour. If you don't like it, we can stop at a boutique."I blinked. A boutique? For a moment, I almost forgot that I was sitting beside the man who had kidnapped me.Almost.I turned back toward the window."I'm talking to you.""I heard you," I replied without looking at him.A heavy sigh came from beside me."This attitude...and this tone. You will have to drop it when we get there. You will not speak to my family like this."I remained silent. I wasn't going to argue with him. Not because I agreed. I simply didn't want to waste my breath. Out of the corner of my eye, I watc

Chapter: CHAPTER 3- The HusbandYULIA'S POVI was back in that room again.At least, that's what I thought when I slowly opened my eyes.I turned onto my side, still half-asleep, expecting to find myself alone. Instead, my eyes landed on a bare-chested man sitting a few feet away from the bed. My heart stopped. I immediately pulled the sheets over my body. The room was dimly lit, making it difficult to see his face. I slowly pushed myself upright, squinting as I leaned forward."You're awake early."The familiar, hoarse voice made my stomach drop.Armani."What are you doing here?" I snapped.He stood and stepped closer, moving into the faint light. My eyes instinctively travelled over him. His body looked almost sculpted, broad shoulders, defined muscles, and several scars scattered across his chest and abdomen.I quickly looked away."You were crying in your sleep."I frowned."What?""This place is quieter at night." He paused. "I could hear you from across the hall."My fingers tightened around the sheets."I wa

Chapter: CHAPTER 2- The Wrong BrideYULIA'S POV"She's a thief! I want her deported right away!""No, no, please! I didn't do it!" My voice cracked as tears streamed down my face. "Mom! Dad! I didn't do it! I was framed! Please, believe me!"But my screams fell on deaf ears. My mother stared at me with cold, unfamiliar eyes. The warmth that had once been there was completely gone."I knew we shouldn't have adopted this one."My heart shattered. I stared at them in disbelief, desperately searching their faces for even the slightest hint of the parents I knew. There was nothing. The officers grabbed my arms and pulled me away."Mom! Dad!"I fought against their grip, crying and screaming as they dragged me farther away."Please! I'm telling the truth!"Neither of them moved. Neither of them came after me. And that was the last time I saw them.***************************************I opened my eyes slowly. My face was wet with tears. For a few seconds, I lay there, confused, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling above me. Th

Chapter: CHAPTER 1- The Birthday GiftYULIA'S POVI could still hear the footsteps behind me—frantic and steady.I slowly increased my pace, tightening my grip on my bag as I glanced at my phone.9:00 p.m.I knew I shouldn't have gone for that night class. I sighed and plugged in my headphones, hoping the music would drown out the sound of my heartbeat. But it didn't help. I could still feel someone following me.I took a sharp breath and stopped abruptly.For a moment, everything went silent.I slowly turned around. And the moment I did, I froze. The blood drained from my face. A tall, buff man stood several feet away, a black mask covering most of his face.Before I could even move, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me, locking me in place. Panic surged through me. I opened my mouth to scream, but a hand clamped over my nose and mouth. A piece of cloth pressed against my face. My eyes flew open the second I realized what was happening.No.I thrashed violently, kicking and struggling with everything I had, but the me

Chapter: CHAPTER 25XAVIER'S POV Clang.The metal door slams shut.“Mia!”I rush toward it, grabbing the handle and pulling with everything I have.Nothing.I pull again.Still nothing.“Open the door!”My voice echoes through the room, but no one answers.I hit the door with my fist.“Mia!”Silence.I press my palm against the cold metal, breathing heavily.She was just here.I saw her.I watched Enzo drag her away while she kept looking back at me.The look in her eyes won't leave my head.Fear.She was trying so hard not to show it, but I saw it.And I couldn't get to her.I step away from the door and look around the room.I'm alone.Completely alone.No guards.No vampires.Nothing.Just four walls, a metal door and the sound of my own breathing.I run my fingers through my hair.“Think.”Getting angry isn't going to help her.I walk back to the door and examine the lock.It's old, but heavy.I grab the handle again and pull.Nothing.I step back.Then I slam my shoulder into it.The impact shoots

Chapter: CHAPTER 24YULI'S POVSomething felt wrong.I couldn't explain it, but I had been restless all morning.I checked my phone again.Nothing.My thumb hovered over Wester's name before I called him.The phone rang.Once.Twice.Three times.No answer.I pulled the phone away from my ear and stared at the screen.“What are you doing, Wester?”I called again.Still nothing.I wasn't usually the type to worry when someone didn't answer my calls. Wester could disappear for hours when he was busy, and sometimes he'd forget his phone somewhere.But this felt different.Maybe it was because of our conversation yesterday.He had been unusually serious when he spoke to me about Ember.I'm telling you, Yuli. Something isn't right.I'd laughed at him then.I told him he was imagining things.But he wouldn't let it go.He'd noticed the same things I had.Ember disappearing without proper explanations.The way she became uncomfortable whenever Julio's name came up.The way she'd sometimes look at her phone and

Chapter: CHAPTER 23EMBER'S POVFor several seconds, neither of us moved.Wester's body lay on the floor between us, his eyes still open, his face frozen in the last expression he'd worn before Julio killed him.I couldn't stop staring.My mind kept replaying it.The way he'd pushed the door open.The way he'd looked at me.Yuli was right.Those words echoed in my head over and over again.“Ember.”I blinked and looked at Julio.“We can't just leave him here.”My stomach tightened.“I know.”Julio crouched beside Wester and checked his pulse, even though we both knew there was no point.“He's dead.”“I know, Julio.”He looked up at me.“Then stop staring at him.”I swallowed and forced myself to look away.“I'm trying.”I wrapped my arms around myself and took a shaky breath.This wasn't supposed to happen.Wester wasn't supposed to find us.No one was supposed to find us.I'd been so careful.So damn careful.And now, in a matter of seconds, everything had changed.“What do we do?” I whispered.Julio st

Chapter: CHAPTER 22EMBER'S POVI opened my eyes slowly, and the first thing I saw was a beautiful brown-skinned body lying beside me.For a few seconds, I simply stared.Last night came rushing back to me, and a small smile tugged at the corner of my lips before I quickly pushed it away. I took a deep breath and sat up quietly, careful not to wake him.I leaned over to make sure he was still asleep.He was.Good.I reached for my clothes from the side table and slipped them on as quietly as I could.“Running away?”I nearly jumped out of my skin.I turned sharply to find Julio awake, his eyes following my every movement.I ignored him and continued dressing.“Stay some more.” His voice was low and sleepy as he groaned and ran his fingers through my hair.“Julio, I can't.” I reluctantly shrugged his hand away and began fixing my hair. “Xavier's brother will get suspicious again.”I didn't want to think about Yuli's suspicions.Not now.Not after last night.The longer I stayed here, the harder it would b

Chapter: CHAPTER 21MIA'S POV"Time to go, love."My heart slammed against my ribs.I pressed myself harder against the wall, instinctively moving closer to Xavier."No."The word came from him.Low.Weak.But dangerous.Enzo's smile faded slightly."I wasn't asking for permission."He took another step toward us.Xavier pushed himself off the wall.I immediately grabbed his arm."Xavier, no."He looked down at my hand, wrapped around his arm, then back at Enzo."I said you're not taking her."Enzo laughed."You can barely stand."Xavier's jaw clenched."I don't need to stand to kill you."His eyes flashed red.For a moment, Enzo's expression hardened.Then, he glanced toward the floor."You're forgetting something."Xavier's eyes followed his gaze.The wolfsbane.My stomach twisted.Enzo slowly reached down and picked up the small object lying near the corner of the room.Whatever it was, Xavier immediately stiffened."Put that down."Enzo smiled."Why? Afraid?"He moved closer.Xavier's breathing becam

Chapter: CHAPTER 20MIA'S POV"Xavier... wake up. Please." I cupped his cheeks as I shook him violently. "Xavier!"He suddenly gasped and sat up, his eyes darting across the room."Thank God. Are you okay?"He shook his head, groaning as he slumped back against the wall."What is it? What's wrong?""Wolfsbane." He groaned again, his breathing strained."What is that? Where is it?""In this room."I looked around. We were the only ones there."Mia..." His voice softened. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you anywhere?"He pushed himself against the wall and stretched out his hand, running his fingers gently against my neck."I-I'm fine. I was in a little pain, but it suddenly stopped."His eyes remained on me longer than necessary, searching my face as though he was trying to make sure I was telling the truth.I broke the eye contact and looked down at his body.His skin was slightly red, and dark veins covered his arms and neck. He looked nothing like the powerful Alpha I'd always known."You seem to be in a lo
