Rebecca’s POV

Since Mr Smith had said I could go anywhere as long as I went with the security, I decided I would go to my parent's house. The house I spent my 5 years at.

The guards insisted on following me the whole way, after we had arrived at my home. I told them I would not be long, but the truth was I had no idea how long I needed. Twenty years. Twenty years since I last stood on this cracked sidewalk, staring at the small bungalow with its faded blue shutters and the mango tree still lea

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   CHAPTER 145 — STILL WATERS

    THIRD PERSON POVThe days that followed were good ones.Rebecca woke up each morning without dread.That was the simplest way she could describe the change in her life, and also the most honest one. For so long, waking up had carried a weight to it — an awareness, even before she was fully conscious, of something to be careful about. Something to manage. Some version of herself she needed to assemble before she could face the day. She had carried that feeling for so long she had stopped noticing it was there, the way you stop noticing the sound of a river once you've lived beside it long enough.Now it was gone.She woke up in the mornings in the large, warm room that was hers and she lay still for a moment and listened to the territory outside the window and felt the absence of that weight like a physical thing. Like a door somewhere in her chest that had been shut for years had been quietly, finally, opened.She did her work. She attended to the territory's correspondence and disput

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   Chapter 144—Finally Free.

    THIRD PERSON POVShe had the fire going and a tray brought in with food he hadn't asked for but would need, water, something warm to drink.He sat in the chair nearest to the fire and leaned forward with his elbows on his knees, his hands loose between them, and his eyes on the flames. He had not spoken since they came inside.Rebecca sat across from him and did not push.This was something she had learned about him — that he was a man who came to words on his own schedule, and that the worst thing you could do when he was processing something heavy was to reach in and try to pull it out before he was ready. So she sat with him in the quiet and let the fire do its work and waited.After a while, he reached forward and picked up the cup she had set on the table beside him and drank from it slowly.Then he looked at her."I told you before I left that I needed to take care of something," he said."Yes," she said."I need to tell you what it was." He set the cup down. "All of it."So he

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   CHAPTER 143— THE ROAD BACK HOME

    THIRD PERSON POVDonald came home on the evening of the second day.The sky above the territory was a deep, burnt orange when the gates opened for him. The sun was setting, and it reminded him that nothing ever lasted. There would always be an end.The guards at the gate stepped aside the moment they saw him coming down the road, and word moved ahead of him through the territory the way word always moved when the Alpha returned — fast and quiet, passing from one post to the next until it reached the main house before he did.Rebecca was at the door when he arrived.She had been inside when she heard the gates, and something in her chest had shifted immediately — a pull, low and certain, the kind that didn't need confirmation. She had set down what she was holding and walked to the door and opened it and stood there in the early evening air, watching the road.She saw Rowan first. Then the six guards behind him, riding in loose formation, their faces carrying the particular blankness o

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   Chapter 142—FIND THEM

    THIRD PERSON POVIt took Rowan eight days to find them.Magnus and Thalos had been escorted to the border the day after the verdict and released — because that was what the verdict had said. They had been banished, not held, and not hunted. At least not then.They had gone quietly, which should have been a warning. Men like Magnus did not go quietly unless they were already planning something or going somewhere specific.Rowan had put two of his best trackers on them the same night they left.Eight days later, the trackers reported back.Magnus and Thalos had traveled to a settlement, located two territories east—a rough, loosely governed place that sat in the grey space between three different packs' borders, where nobody asked questions and nobody kept records. They had a house there. A real one, which was properly furnished and stocked.Which wasn't weird, considering the amount of fraud they committed while on seat. They embezzlement funds and cornered pack resources. They pro

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   Chapter 141—SMALL THINGS

    THIRD PERSON POVLife in the territory began to find its rhythm again.The new elder appointments were announced at a formal meeting four days after the verdict. Donald had chosen carefully — not just men and women of age and experience, but ones with demonstrated loyalty to the crown and the kind of character that did not bend under pressure or opportunity.The pack received the appointments well.There was a feeling moving through the territory in those days that was hard to name exactly but easy to feel. Like something that had been holding its breath had finally exhaled. Like the territory itself knew that the wrongness that had crept into it had been removed and was slowly returning to what it was supposed to be.Rebecca felt it. And everyone else did, too.She walked through the territory differently now. Not cautiously, not with the careful awareness of someone who was always half-expecting the ground to shift under her feet. She walked like someone who belonged. Because she

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   CHAPTER 140 — EVIDENCE

    THIRD PERSON POVTomorrow he would hear what Rowan had found. He would look at every document, he would listen to every detail and he would be certain, before he moved, because he had not survived this long by letting feelings outrun fact.But if what Rowan had found said what he believed it was going to say —He closed his eyes.If it did, then Magnus and Thalos were going to discover that banishment was the most generous thing the Black Moon Territory had ever offered them. That being escorted to a border and released was a mercy with an expiry date.And that date was very close now.The meeting with Rowan happened just after the day had broken in Donald's private study, the door closed, and the fire already lit. Rowan had arrived first and had known his Alpha well enough to have the room warm before he got there.He placed a folder on the desk in front of Donald and sat down.Donald looked at the folder without opening it immediately."How long have you had this?" he asked."Three

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   Chapter 63—Alpha Vladmir

    Rebecca’s POV“And who might you be?” he asked, voice smooth and curious, eyes glinting in the dim light.DANG IT. I’VE BEEN CAUGHT AGAIN!My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I thought it might crack them. I was still on the ground with my knees scraped raw, my gown torn at the hem, and leaves

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   Chapter 62—Plan Failed.

    Rebecca’s POVThe truth is, when I had given him that promise about being rewarded, I never meant it. I only said it to secure my escape—anything to get those iron manacles off my wrists and put distance between me and that cursed camp. But seeing how nice and enthusiastic he had been about letting

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   Chapter 61—The Escape.

    Oh well, I better mind my business.That thought echoed in my head as the new guard settled into his watch. Starting fresh with him felt like tempting fate. It was too risky and too exhausting. What if he’s not as open-minded as the first guard and reports me? The first guard had been close to cra

  • BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE.   Chapter 60—Escape Plan 2.

    Rebecca’s POVNo. I shook the thought away. I’d rather just accept my fate? No. He must be busy. He’s an Alpha and a CEO. I’m sure there’s a lot for him to handle—pack borders, council meetings, business decisions that can’t wait. He’ll come. He promised. I just have to wait and trust him. Or do I
