BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.

BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.

When a ruthless Alpha is forced to take a wife or lose his crown, love is never part of the equation. With no fated mate and no time left, he chooses control—a contract marriage. A bride for rent. Five years. No affection. No freedom. For her, obedience has always been the cost of survival. Orphaned, abused, and betrayed by the man she trusted, marriage becomes just another prison, until she is dragged into a world she never knew existed. Wolves. Ancient laws. A powerful Alpha who sees her as temporary, disposable, and easy to forget. Until fate interferes. A single touch, a glowing mark and a bond that should not exist. She is his mate, and he rejects it. Convinced the Moon has made a cruel mistake, the Alpha refuses to accept a broken human woman with a painful past as his Luna. But the bond does not fade. It tightens. Grows stronger. Deadlier. Because the council is watching.Enemies are circling. And her forgotten past is awakening. Was she ever truly a bride for rent… or was she always destined to be his Luna? And when the Alpha is forced to choose between power and fate, will he claim her… or destroy them both?

Chapter: Chapter — Bride On Display 2
Rebecca's POVHe stared at me for a moment, then spoke in a voice that cut deeper than he probably intended. "Is that difficult for you? Have you not done it a thousand times in front of other men?"The words landed like an insult. Heat rushed to my face, then drained away, leaving something cold behind. He did not know my story. He did not know how hard I had fought to survive before Damon found me. Still, the life I lived before Damon was far better than this. I was proud of my independence. Men like Mr Smith never understood. They never will. He must've seen the change in my demeanor because his expression shifted slightly. "I am sorry," he said coldly. "I told you to stay close to me at all times. Even now, I can't leave. I will turn my back for you to dress."He turned away. I nodded, though he could not see it, and quickly changed into the dress. The silk slid over my skin smoothly, like water. It was beautiful. When I was done, I alerted him, and he turned back to face me.

Chapter: Chapter 8— Bride On Display
Rebecca's POV Thank God Rowan appeared when he did because I honestly did not have an answer. If anything, the question should have been, 'Why was I in your bed, Mister,' not why I left. I stood there with my mouth slightly open, and my thoughts tangled when Rowan stepped into the doorway with an urgent and tight expression. "Alpha, the elders are here," Rowan said quietly. Mr Smith stiffened. I saw the immediate change in him, and I knew something was wrong. But what? "What are they doing here?" He asked. "And who invited them? I am not expecting any of them. You know my present situation. They should not see me like this."His eyes moved to me for a brief second, and then he turned away and leaned closer to Rowan. They spoke in hushed tones, their voices so low that I could not catch the words, but the tension between them was clear. I stood there feeling very small and very out of place. Who are the elders? I asked myself, and what did they want?Whoever they were, it was cle

Chapter: Chapter 7— Why Am I In His Bed?
Rebecca’s POVA steady beating filled my ears until it felt like the world was shaped around it. For a moment, I thought it was my heart. It sounded very loud and close, like a drum being struck inside my head."Is that my heart?" I wondered. "Why is it so loud?"I lifted my hand and pressed it against my chest, feeling for the rhythm beneath my palm. My heart was beating fast and uneven, but it did not match the sound I was hearing. The noise did not stop. It kept beating steadily, unbothered by what was going on in my head.Confused, I let my hand fall away and forced my eyes open.The ceiling above me was unfamiliar. It was high, pale, and smooth, nothing like my room. Even though it was just as massive as the one I was given, mine was brighter. I was shocked and confused. Before panic could fully take hold, my hand brushed against something warm and solid beside me. I turned my head slowly and saw Mr Smith lying down next to me.He was on his back, one arm stretched above his h

Chapter: Chapter 6—Shattered Control
Donald’s POVPain struck slowly, sliding beneath my skin with every heartbeat until even breathing felt like a mistake. My chest tightened. My hands pressed against the wall to steady myself, but it did nothing to stop the ache that threaded through my bones. She stood at the bottom of the staircase, one hand gripping the railing, her eyes wide and confused. Her lips parted slightly, and the sound of her voice reached me, trembling."Mr Smith... what's... happening to you?"I didn't answer. I moved before I could stop myself. My wolf surged beneath the surface, pulling at me desperately. My body wanted her, demanded her, and needed to fix the bond, but I would not give in. My instincts drove me forward toward her and toward the warmth of her body. She stepped back, pressing herself against the wall. I leaned closer, drawn without thinking, feeling the raw pull of the bond beneath my ribs. I lowered my head to her neck, catching a faint whiff of her scent and froze. Something about h

Chapter: Chapter 5_I reject this bond
“I hear you've been feeding information to my enemies,” I said, my voice low, precise, and deadly. The basement was cold, dark, and smelled of damp stone and fear. Chains rattled as the man struggled against his restraints, eyes wide with panic, and sweat running down his face.“I—I don’t know! I swear! I just…” His words faltered. His courage was already gone, replaced with raw, trembling terror.“Who do you work for?” I asked, stepping closer, the harsh overhead light cutting across his sweat-streaked features. My shadow fell over him like a blade.“I… I’m not telling! I swear!” He struggled again, futilely.I smiled coldly. “You’re going to tell me. One way or another.”I bent and picked up a spanner from the workbench. Its weight was satisfying in my hand, cold steel against my palm. I ran a finger along the jagged edges, testing it as I studied him.“Let’s start with something simple,” I said, voice calm. My fingers moved to his hand, gripping it tight. He flinched, trying to pu

Chapter: Chapter 4_Arrival
“What is this place?” I whispered, my voice shaking as my eyes darted around. The car had slowed, then stopped, and I realized I was no longer on familiar streets. Towering trees stretched toward the sky, their leaves shimmering silver in the fading light of dusk. The air smelled faintly of earth and something wild and alive.Rowan’s hands remained steady on the wheel. “This is the pack territory,” he said calmly, as if stating the obvious.“The pack… territory?” My voice wavered, disbelief making my throat dry. “I… I thought I was going to… I don’t know… a penthouse, or an apartment… somewhere normal. Not… not this…” My hands gripped the seat tightly.Beyond the car window, my eyes widened in horror. Wolves—massive, regal, some with silver and black fur, prowled openly, moving among men and women holding swords, spears, and banners. Figures in flowing robes chanted quietly near the edge of a courtyard. Their presence radiated authority and danger. Wolves and humans together, aligned
