Third Person POV

"I need more information," Kali said to himself.

The street had grown quieter as night settled fully over the neighborhood.

Soft yellow lights glowed from the windows of nearby houses, and the distant hum of traffic faded into the background. The cool evening breeze carried the faint scent of street food from a vendor several blocks away.

Kali remained standing outside the green-painted house after the door had closed earlier.

The brief conversation he had managed to start had

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   CHAPTER 163—MAREN'S GIFT

    THIRD PERSON POVThe afternoon sun came in through the windows of Rebecca's sitting room, warming the pale stone floor and turning the dust motes into floating gold. Rebecca sat in the wide armchair Donald had moved from his study three days after she mentioned, in passing, that it was the most comfortable seat in the house. It had appeared overnight without discussion. He had never mentioned moving it. She had never thanked him. Some things did not need words.Maren sat across from her, the old woman's hands folded in her lap, her eyes holding a particular light that Rebecca had learned to recognize. It was the look she got when she was about to give someone something important."I have been holding something for a long time," Maren said. "I kept telling myself I would know when the right moment came. I think this is it."She reached into the worn leather bag she had brought and withdrew a small wooden box. Plain, unadorned, the wood polished to a deep, warm glow by decades of handli

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   CHAPTER 162—NAMES

    THIRD PERSON POV"God is my help," he translated immediately. His eyebrows lifted slightly. "That is a weighty name for a child.""He will need it," she said. "All three of them will. They are heirs of a territory that has faced war and exile and betrayal. They are descendants of a lineage that has been hunted and broken. They will need to know that they are not alone. That something larger than themselves walks with them."Donald looked at her. "You are speaking about yourself as much as them."She was quiet for a moment. Then she said: "Yes. I am."He reached for her face, cupping her cheek with a gentleness that still surprised her after all this time. "You are not alone either, Becca. You will never be alone again."She leaned into his palm. "I know. But they will need to know it too. In their bones, in their blood and in the very shape of their names.""Azriel," he said again, tasting the word."Azriel," she confirmed.He set the paper down and turned to face her fully. "Tell me

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   CHAPTER 161—NAMES

    THIRD PERSON POVThe territory had surrendered to sleep hours ago. The bedroom held only the soft amber glow of a single lamp, its light pooling like honey across the pillows. Rebecca reclined against the headboard, her hands resting on the generous curve of her stomach, where three distinct lives moved in their own private rhythms. She had a cup of cooled tea that sat forgotten on the nightstand.Donald lay beside her, one arm folded behind his head, and the other resting possessively on her hip. This was the only version of him that existed in these quiet hours where he was unguarded, unhurried, and completely hers."We need to talk about names," she said.He turned his head and found her eyes. "I thought we had already discussed this.""We discussed possibilities," she corrected. "We have not yet decided.""Is there a difference with you?"She slapped his chest lightly. "Yes. Possibilities are what we talk about when we are being polite. Decisions are what we make when we are seri

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   CHAPTER 159 — GROWING

    THIRD PERSON POV"You are doing it again," Donald said.Rebecca looked up from the land report she was reading. She was sitting sideways in the large chair by the window, her legs over the armrest, a cup of warm ginger tea on the table beside her. She was four months along now and the morning sickness had finally eased, replaced by a hunger that arrived at inconvenient hours and a heaviness in her body that she had decided to simply work around."Doing what?" she asked, like she didn't understand what he was saying."Working when Sable specifically said to rest in the afternoons.""I am reading," she said. "Reading is not working.""That is a land dispute report.""It is light reading," she said.He looked at her."Rebecca.""Donald." She replied, laughing.He crossed the room and took the report out of her hands. She let him, because she had learned which arguments were worth having and which ones were not. This was not one of them."One hour," he said. "No reports. No correspondence.

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   CHAPTER 158— THREE

    THIRD PERSON POV"Rowan is going to fall off his chair in shock," Rebecca said, laughing. They decided to tell Rowan the following morning. As they were walking to Rowan's office together, Donald had his hand at the small of Rebecca's back, the corridor quiet at this early hour."He will not fall off his chair," Donald said."He is going to fall off his chair, I tell you," she said again.Donald almost smiled.Rowan was at his desk already working through the morning reports, when they arrived. He looked up when they walked in and read their faces. He set his pen down."What happened?" he said."Nothing bad," Donald said, grinning widely."Okay…" Rowan said, then looked at Rebecca.She was watching him with the particular expression of someone who is about to say something they have been looking forward to saying."I am pregnant," she said, unable to hold it anymore.Rowan stared at her in shock.He looked at Donald. Then back at Rebecca. Then at Donald again."Congratulations," he

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   CHAPTER 157 — SOMETHING HAS CHANGED

    THIRD PERSON POV"You have not touched your food," Donald said.Rebecca looked down at her plate. He was right. She had moved things around without eating any of it, which was unlike her. She picked up her fork and made a deliberate effort."I am fine," she said. "Not very hungry this morning."He said nothing. He watched her for a moment and then returned to his own food. But she caught the way his eyes moved back to her twice more before the meal was done.It had been like this for about a week.Tiredness that arrived earlier than it should and stayed longer than it had any right to. A faint nausea in the mornings that she had been quietly managing by eating plain things before she got out of bed. A sensitivity to certain smells — the candles in the east corridor, the particular soap the kitchen used — that had never bothered her before.She had told herself it was the aftermath of everything. The trial, the poison, the revelations about her mother. Her body catching up to the weigh

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   Chapter 17 — Red Silk and Old Ghosts 3

    Rebecca's POV Before I could fully process what was happening, the man was already on the floor. It happened so fast that my mind struggled to catch up with my eyes. One moment, Damon’s contact was gripping my wrist, and the next, he was sprawled against the polished marble floor, a sharp gasp t

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   Chapter 16— Red Silk and Old Ghosts 2

    Rebecca’s POV “Is this another…?” he began, his lips curling into a knowing smile that made my stomach twist. My heart slammed violently against my ribs, the sound rushing in my ears. I knew him. I recognized that voice, that leering look, that shameless confidence that came from knowing he once

    My phone rang, breaking the heavy silence that had settled over the dining room.I picked it up without checking the screen. "Yes?""Mr Donald, did you receive the email I sent to you?"I frowned slightly. "What email?"Of course, that voice belonged to Fidson. My deputy managing director. The man

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   Chapter 14 — Between Duty and Her Eyes.

    I could not deny it anymore. No matter how hard I tried to rationalize it, and no matter how many rules I placed between myself and the truth, something about her pulled at me in ways I did not understand and did not want to examine too closely.It was not as if she had done anything extra ordinar
