Married by Fate, Broken by Love
When a relationship begins with an arranged marriage, it’s often expected to end in disappointment. However, Aliya’s situation was different; the man she was forced to marry showed her care more than she could have imagined, and that alone captured her heart.
Aliya and Richard got married under forced agreement because of their families to build a business relationship. Both of them stay in the marriage for three years, and Richard has always been there for Aliya; he makes sure she doesn’t feel lonely, he is ready to make her comfortable, and he shows too much care that makes Aliya feel their marriage was never a mistake but the right one.
She fell in love and had the hope their fake relationship would come to an end, but her hope was shattered when Richard returned one night with a divorce agreement. Then, it came to her that he had never loved her, but he kept his first love in his heart all through the years. And now, she has to give space to his first love and leave his life.
Packing all her things, she left his house feeling miserable. Feeling ashamed, she couldn’t return to her family, so she walked up to a bar and got herself drunk, and she had a nightstand with a stranger.
Five years later, Aliya had become successful on her own, and she had to take care of her son alone as a result of the nightstand of five years ago. She did not know the man she had the son for.

Chapter: Chapter 127Dylan's POVThe sound of Richard’s footsteps echoing through the parking structure made every instinct inside me sharpen instantly.The underground level suddenly felt too open and too confined at the same time, with concrete pillars creating endless blind spots across the dim space. Aliya stood beside me holding Leo tightly while the remaining guards moved strategically around us, trying to secure a clear route toward the vehicle waiting several rows ahead. The alarms from above still echoed faintly through the structure, but down here another sound had started replacing them gradually. Tension. Pure tension hanging so heavily in the air that every breath felt strained.“Get them to the car,” I ordered quietly. Two guards immediately moved toward Aliya and Leo while I stayed behind slightly, my eyes fixed on the dark entrance corridor where Richard’s footsteps continued approaching.“You’re coming too,” Aliya said sharply beside me. I looked toward her immediately. Fear filled her ex

Chapter: Chapter 126Aliya's POVThe moment Dylan realized the security system might be compromised, the fear inside me turned completely real.Until now, part of me still believed this situation could somehow remain controlled, contained within arguments, threats, and intimidation. But hearing Richard’s voice echo through the stairwell while alarms screamed around us shattered that illusion entirely. They had followed us directly into the building, manipulated security, triggered distractions, and somehow regained access to each other despite being separated only minutes earlier. Nothing about this felt reckless anymore. It felt planned carefully enough to terrify me.“We need another route,” one of the guards said quickly. Dylan nodded immediately, though his attention stayed focused on the stairwell entrance where distant footsteps continued echoing upward.“There’s a maintenance elevator on the east side,” another guard added. “Restricted access only.” Dylan turned sharply toward him.“Can it bypass t

Chapter: Chapter 125Dylan's POV The alarm blasted through the building so loudly that everything descended into chaos within seconds.Sharp emergency sounds echoed across every corner of the floor while red warning lights flashed violently against the walls and ceiling. Leo covered his ears immediately, startled badly by the sudden noise, and Aliya pulled him against herself protectively without hesitation. The security guards reacted almost instantly too, some moving toward Lydia while others reached for communication devices at the same time. But the moment confusion entered the room, Lydia smiled.That smile told me everything.This had been planned.“She triggered it,” I said sharply. One of the guards moved toward Lydia immediately, but before he could reach her, the lights flickered violently overhead.Then half the floor went dark.“What the hell?” another guard cursed loudly. The emergency system switched to backup power almost immediately afterward, but the few seconds of darkness were enough t

Chapter: Chapter 124Aliya's POV The moment I saw Lydia standing there, fear crashed through me so violently that I stopped breathing for a second.Everything inside my body went cold instantly while my mind struggled to process how she had managed to get upstairs without anyone stopping her. Leo stood only a few feet away from her, completely unaware of the danger now standing inside the same room with us. Lydia looked calm, disturbingly calm, and somehow that frightened me more than if she had walked in screaming. Her eyes moved slowly from Leo to me before finally settling on Dylan, and the smile forming across her face carried something deeply unsettling underneath it.“You really increased security,” she said softly. Dylan stepped forward immediately, placing himself between her and Leo without hesitation. The movement happened so naturally that it made my chest tighten painfully for a completely different reason.“How did you get up here?” Dylan asked coldly. Lydia tilted her head slightly, still s

Chapter: Chapter 123Dylan's POV The moment I heard those words, every instinct inside me sharpened instantly. A missing security vehicle during a situation like this was never random, especially not after Lydia conveniently appeared downstairs demanding attention. Aliya’s face lost color beside me almost immediately, and I could already tell her thoughts had gone straight to Leo before anything else. Mine had too. That was the dangerous part about involving children in conflict because every unexpected movement suddenly felt catastrophic even before proof existed. I tightened my grip slightly around the phone while forcing myself to stay calm enough to think clearly.“How long?” I asked sharply. The man on the other end answered quickly, though his voice carried obvious tension now too.“Approximately twelve minutes,” he replied. Twelve minutes. That was more than enough time for something to happen.“Last known location?” I asked. I heard typing in the background before another response came through i

Chapter: Chapter 122Aliya's POV The question froze the entire room instantly. For a second, nobody moved or spoke, and the silence that followed felt heavier than anything else that had happened today. Leo sat there looking between us innocently, completely unaware of how complicated that single question actually was. I looked toward Dylan instinctively, but his attention remained fixed on Leo now, his expression unreadable in a way that told me he was choosing his response carefully. Children always asked the hardest questions at the worst moments because they had not yet learned how much adults hid from each other constantly.“She’s…” I started quietly before stopping myself almost immediately. What exactly was Lydia supposed to be described as? Saying she was Dylan’s ex sounded too simple for the amount of destruction currently surrounding us because of her.“A complicated person,” Dylan answered finally. Leo frowned slightly after hearing that explanation.“That doesn’t explain anything,” he said s

Chapter: Chapter 25: What Wakes BeneathThe word stayed. Remember. It did not echo. It did not fade. It settled quiet, heavy, as though it had always belonged somewhere inside me and had only now found its place again. Lucas’s hand tightened around mine. “We’re leaving,” he said, voice low, controlled. I did not answer. Because something had shifted. Not outside. Inside. The forest blurred at the edges, not in sight but in feeling, like the world had taken one step back while something else stepped forward. The figure watched. Still. Unmoving. Certain. “You hear it,” it said. Lucas’s body tensed. “Don’t speak to her.” The figure did not look at him. It didn’t need to. “I’m not speaking to you,” it replied softly. My breath caught. Because it was right. The voice did not land in my ears. It moved through me. “You’ve been quiet for too long.” A faint pressure brushed against the back of my thoughts. Not force. Not control. Recognition. Lucas shifted closer. “Scarlett.” I swallowed. “I’m here,” I said, though th

Chapter: Chapter 24: The Fracture Beneath PeacePeace should have felt like victory. Instead, it felt like silence before a storm.I woke slowly, my body still wrapped in the warmth of Lucas’s arms. For a brief moment, everything felt right. His steady breathing against my neck, the quiet hum of the pack around us, the faint echo of last night’s laughter still lingering in my memory.This was what we fought for, this was what I came back for.But something inside me refused to settle.My wolf was awake.Not restless. Not afraid.Alert. Watching.I frowned slightly, staring up at the ceiling as that unease spread deeper into my chest. Nothing had happened. There was no sound, no movement, no warning.And yet, something wasn’t right.Carefully, I slipped out of bed, easing Lucas’s arm away from me. He didn’t stir. That alone sent a ripple of tension through me. Lucas had never slept this deeply. Not after everything we had been through.I paused for a second, watching him.Then turned and stepped outside.The early morning air hit me

Chapter: Chapter 24: The Fracture Beneath PeaceThe fire had not fully died.Even in the thin stretch before dawn, faint embers still breathed beneath ash, glowing low like something unwilling to let go. Smoke curled into the air in soft threads, carrying the scent of last night’s gathering warmth, laughter, something whole.But the quiet around it felt wrong.Not empty.I stood just beyond the clearing, arms folded loosely, eyes fixed on the fading glow. The ground beneath my feet felt colder than it should have been. Not biting. Not harsh.Just distant.Behind me, the pack still slept in scattered clusters, some beneath open sky, others already returned inside. Their breathing came slow, steady, unaware. I envied that.A branch shifted somewhere deeper in the trees. Soft, too soft to draw attention.But my body stilled.The feeling came again low, subtle, threading beneath my skin. Not sharp enough to alarm. Not strong enough to name.Just there.Watching.“You didn’t come back in.”Lucas’s voice came from behind me, rough with s

Chapter: Chapter 23: Deepening RootsTime passed, one careful day after another, each shaped by small trust and deeper ties. Inside the old pack house, something shifted, sound bounced off the walls like never before, pups tried moves they’d picked up from Velvet Claw drills, nights softened into circles of voices trading memories in flames. Walking beside Lucas changed how I saw things, the link between us humming steadily, making choices easier than they once seemed.That morning felt sharp, the air biting just enough. Rachel moved across the dirt, facing someone new, her strikes cleaner than before. Not quite fast, just sure. Over near the fence line, Alex talked through timing with Emily, both of them keeping it quiet. Then Mira showed up beside me, lips tilting like she knew something light.“The light in you has changed the air here, Luna,” she said. “Old fears are fading. The elders agree it is time to formalize ties with the Velvet Claw.”I nodded, my chest swelling with quiet pride. “Then we’ll host them here ne

Chapter: Chapter 22: Shared HorizonsAfter we left Velvet Claw lands, things eased into a soft kind of pattern. Each dawn found me waking under Lucas’s arm, his breath slow and close, grounding me without effort. This tie between us had grown richer, not fighting the old pull of blood but moving alongside it now. We filled the early hours with work that mattered: guiding new wolf trainees, going over patrol notes with Mira, seeing how Rachel and Alex slipped further into the flow of things. Their quiet persistence began to shift how others saw them. Greetings came easier, eyes less guarded, faces opening in ways they hadn’t before.Midway through the day, sometimes, Lucas and I would head off quietly toward the old gathering stones to talk about what came next. Training across groups could happen now and then. Tales of Luna passed hand to hand. A few plants or blades are exchanged when needed. Every thought settled into place like fabric slowly stitched, never yanked tight.Sunlight touched the line on his forehead when

Chapter: Chapter 21: First StepsThat next morning broke cool, sharp air filled the space between pine trunks where light dripped down onto uneven coins. Out by the old pack house, Lucas stood beside me, both of us quiet as the others moved faster somehow, less burdened than before I came back. Laughter curled out from Rachel after whatever slipped from Alex’s mouth while they loaded gear for patrol runs. Over near the training ring, Emily showed the pups the slow breath trick when fur begins to rise. When Mira turned, her eyes caught mine, not soft exactly, but not edged either.Warmth spread along my side as Lucas slid an arm around me, drawing close. Damp strands of his light brown hair fell across his forehead, messy like always, tugging at something inside. Quiet filled the space between us before he spoke, voice low. His blue eyes held mine, steady but questioning. A single word broke the hush: “Ready?”I nodded, though nerves fluttered beneath my ribs. “Visiting Velvet Claw lands… It feels like stepping into a
