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 65Aliya's POVI didn’t realize when I fell asleep.One moment, I was listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing beside me.And the next, the world had gone quiet, still.Safe in a way I hadn’t felt in a long time. When I woke up, it was the light that did it. Soft morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, stretching gently across the room in pale gold streaks. It touched the edge of the couch, climbed slowly over the floor, and rested against my arm like something warm and patient.For a moment, I didn’t move, didn’t open my eyes fully, because I was aware of something else first, warmth, solid, steady.Dylan.My head was resting against his shoulder, my body angled slightly toward him, like sometime during the night I had moved closer without even realizing it. And he hadn’t moved away, hadn’t shifted, hadn’t created space.He was still there, exactly where I had left him. My fingers were still loosely curled around his hand. That made my breath pause slightly, because that

Chapter: Chapter 64Dylan's POVNight settled fully this time, not like earlier, when it lingered at the edges of the room, uncertain.This was different.The apartment was wrapped in it now, quiet, dim, softened by the warm glow of a single lamp in the corner. The city outside still moved, but it felt distant, muted behind glass and height and walls that kept everything else out.Inside, everything felt still, Aliya hadn’t moved far. She sat close enough that our shoulders brushed now and then, not by accident anymore, but not something either of us pointed out.Just… there.Natural.And I found myself noticing things I hadn’t paid attention to before.The way she tucked one leg slightly under herself when she got comfortable.The way her fingers moved absentmindedly, tracing small patterns against her own palm when she was thinking.The way she went quiet… not empty, not withdrawn…. But thoughtful.Present in a different way.“You do that a lot,” I said.She turned her head slightly.“Do what?”“Disapp

Chapter: Chapter 63Aliya's POVFor a long moment after the kiss, neither of us moved.The world didn’t rush back in immediately.It lingered at the edges, like it wasn’t quite ready to interrupt whatever it was.My forehead rested lightly against his, my fingers still curled into the fabric of his shirt, holding on without thinking about it.His hand was warm at my waist.It was steady and grounding.And my breathing. It hadn’t quite settled yet.I became aware of it slowly. The rise and fall of my chest.The quiet, uneven rhythm that refused to calm down.“This is… new,” I murmured.My voice came out softer than I expected, almost like I was speaking more to myself than to him.“I know,” Dylan replied.He didn’t move away.He didn’t loosen his hold, but he didn’t pull me closer either, he just stayed. Right there, in the present.Like he understood that this moment didn’t need to be rushed into anything else.I let out a slow breath, my hand relaxing slightly against his chest, though I didn’t pull it

Chapter: Chapter 62Dylan's POVI didn’t leave that night.Not immediately.Not like I usually would.There was no urgency pulling me away.No reason to check the time.No instinct telling me I had already stayed too long.Instead, I stayed where I was.On the couch.Beside her.The apartment had settled into a soft, quiet stillness. The kind that came after a long day, when everything had slowed enough to breathe. The lights were dim now, just a single lamp casting a warm, golden glow across the room, leaving the corners in soft shadow.Aliya leaned back slightly, her shoulder still brushing mine.She hadn’t moved away.Not even unconsciously.And that stayed with me.Her presence wasn’t hesitant anymore.It wasn’t accidental.It was chosen.I turned my head slightly, watching her.Her eyes were fixed somewhere ahead, not really focused on anything in particular, her fingers resting loosely in her lap, occasionally shifting like she was still thinking through something she hadn’t fully said yet.“You’re

Chapter: Chapter 61Aliya's POVThe evening settled in slowly.Not all at once.Not dramatically.Just… gradually.The sunlight that had filled the apartment earlier softened into a warm amber glow, then faded into the cool blue of dusk. Shadows stretched longer across the floor, wrapping around furniture, settling into corners like they belonged there.Leo had fallen asleep on the couch.Not intentionally.He had been talking one moment about how his “garage” needed an upgrade and then his words slowed, blurred, until they stopped altogether.Now he lay curled slightly on his side, one arm tucked under his head, the other still loosely holding one of his toy cars.I stood a few feet away, watching him.There was something about this part of the day that always made me pause.Something quiet.Something fragile.The world outside didn’t stop, but inside this space, it always felt like it did.“Does he do that often?” Dylan asked from behind me.His voice was low, careful not to wake Leo.“Only when he’s p

Chapter: Chapter 60Dylan's POVThe drive felt longer than it should have. It wasn’t because of traffic, not because of distance, because my mind wouldn’t settle. Every red light felt unnecessary, every slow-moving car in front of me felt like an interruption I didn’t have the patience for.I wasn’t used to that.Usually, I moved through things with precision, control, distance, but this, this wasn’t something I could manage like everything else, because it mattered, more than I was used to admitting.By the time I pulled up in front of her building, the sky had already dimmed into early evening, the last streaks of sunlight fading into a deep blue that stretched across the city.I sat in the car for a second, just a second, hands still on the wheel, breathing.Then I got out.When she opened the door, everything else fell away. It wasn’t dramatic, there was no rush. No immediate movement.She just stood there.Framed by the soft light of the apartment behind her, her hair loosely pulled back, a few stra

Chapter: Chapter 5As the echoes of battle died, Scarlett's heart pounded on. The Shadow Pack had retreated, taking Lucas with them as their prisoner. Eerie shadows were cast on the moonlit floor of the forest, with the tang of blood still fresh in the air."We've got to go," he said with a sense of urgency, his voice tight as he stood and tugged Scarlett to her feet. "Whatever's left of Lucas's pack could be regrouping. We're not safe."Scarlett nodded, forcing the gale of emotions inside of her. She had to put what had just happened about how close she had come to ending it all out of her mind. There was too much at stake.Rachel's eyes darted to where the Shadow Pack had disappeared into the trees. "Even so, do you trust them? They are creatures not easily given to honesty."Scarlett's jaw tightened. "We don't have a choice. We need them, and they know it. But we have to stay alert. They could turn on us at any moment."With every step further into the forest, there was this ticking clock as they pro

Chapter: Chapter 4Scarlett made her way back to the cabin, her head still reeling from the brief argument with Lucas. The forest with all its shadows seemed to bear down on her, yet she forced her eyes fixed forward, not letting her mind wander. No second-guessing of decisions. Not now.As she pushed open the door to the cabin and stepped in, she found Alex and Rachel already up and tension hanging thick in the air. Alex's eyes immediately locked with hers, a silent question passing between them."Did you find anything?" Alex asked in a low voice.Scarlett shook her head. "No, but we need to move fast. Lucas's pack won't wait long before coming after us."Rachel nodded, her face set in determination. "We need to get to the Shadow Pack. They're the only ones who can help us now."Scarlett bit her lip, her heart hammering against her chest. The Shadow Pack was dangerous, cruel, and bargaining with them was a gamble. But there was no other way. Lucas's pack was stronger, and they were no match without an

Chapter: Chapter 3Scarlett lay on the ground. Heavier, Lucas pinned her, and she panted, gasping for breath. Her every instinct screamed at her to keep fighting, to push him off, but she was pinned. Her muscles burned, and her heart thumped in her chest to the primitive rhythm of anger and fear.Lucas's face loomed inches above hers, his eyes writhing with anguish, almost guilt, that Scarlett did not want to see. "Scarlett, stop this," he implored; his voice was strained. "You don't have to do this really.""I said, 'Get off me!' " Scarlett snapped, scrambling underneath him, but Lucas braced her body, his grip an iron chain over her face."Listen to me," Lucas begged, the tone of his voice pleading as tears welled in his eyes. "This isn't the way. We don't have to be enemies."A boiling fury ate into Scarlett because of his words. "You set us against each other!" she snapped, a dangerous quiver in her voice. "You betrayed me, Lucas. Betrayed each one of us."Lucas winced, as though she had struck him

Chapter: Chapter 2The tires screeched as Alex pulled the car into a concealed clearing, far from the packed ground. Scarlett jumped out; her head was pounding since her run-in encounter with Lucas. The night air was cool, but the rush of adrenaline kept her warm.Rachel staggered out of the car, gasping for breath. "That was way too close for comfort, Scarlett," she panted. "We just barely made it out without their noticing."Scarlett's fists were dug into her body when she tried to will her heart to evict the elephant that seemed to be having a disco in there. She watched the look of shock on Lucas's face, and she couldn't help the bitter satisfaction that filled her. But there lay beneath it all something else, something she did not want to admit—guilt."I know," Scarlett muttered, trying to shove the sensation of doom right out of her. "But we did it. We hit them where it hurts."Alex was busy offloading the purloined supplies. His movements were measured and emotionless. "Lucas won't let this slide

Chapter: Chapter 1Scarlett felt her heart race as she set foot again in a country once familiar and yet foreign to that of her old pack. And it had been five years since she'd last set foot in this place, and even now the memories have started. Towering pines, a howling of wolves in the distance it was like a nightmare from which she just couldn't wake up. But she hadn't come here for nostalgia. She was here to settle a score.The moon was low in the sky, throwing its weird light upon the woodland floor as Scarlett moved noiselessly, her footfalls measured. She had been training for just this moment, to be able to make Lucas pay for his sins. Her fists clenched at the thought of Lucas, the future Alpha, the boy she once trusted. Now he was a man she loathed.The pack was gathered at the edge of the clearing, partying over something she didn't give a damn about. Her eyes scoured the crowd for him, her heart hardening with each second that passed. Then she saw him.In the center stood Lucas, surrounded b
