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 156 — BEFORE THE PACK
THIRD PERSON POV"I do not want anyone to introduce me," Rebecca said. "I want to walk out and speak for myself."It was early morning. She was standing in front of the mirror in their chamber, dressed and ready, her hair pinned back simply. Donald was sitting on the edge of the bed watching her."That is fine," he said. "It is your moment. It should go however you want it to go.""I am not nervous," she said.He said nothing."I am a little nervous," she said."I know," he said."Stop looking at me like that.""Like what?""Like you already know how this ends.""I do already know how this ends," he said simply. "They are going to receive you the way they should have from the beginning. Because now they will understand what was always true."She looked at him in the mirror for a moment. Then she turned around."If I stumble over my words," she said."You will not," he said."But if I do.""Then you stumble and you keep going," he said. "That is what you do. You always keep going."She

THIRD PERSON POV"This is your family," Rowan said. "Right here. Written in the founding record of this territory."They were all in the archive room the next morning. Donald stood to one side with his arms folded. Maren sat in the chair Rowan had pulled to the table for her. Sera had come — slowly, with the help of a walking stick and a guard who had gone to collect her before dawn — and she sat beside Maren with her hands folded on the table and her eyes bright.Rebecca stood at the center, leaning slightly over the old document Rowan had placed in front of her.She read the name slowly. Sthalone."That is your mother's family name," Maren said quietly. "Your grandmother's name before she married.""It is listed here as one of the seven founding bloodlines," Rowan said. "The families who came together to establish the Black Moon Territory, set its laws, divide its land, and build its first governing structure. Every family on this list contributed something essential." He pointed to

Rebecca’s POVAfter Mr Smith left the table with Elder Magnus, the air around me changed. It thickened, heavy with things unsaid, with eyes that lingered too long and thoughts that felt sharp enough to cut. The seat beside me was suddenly occupied by the woman with red lipstick.We sat in silence.
BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE. Chapter 10 — Stay Close To Me At All Times.
Donald’s POV“Elder Magnus,” I said in a calm and controlled voice, trying to deliberately shift his attention away from Rebecca. His sharp gaze lingered on her far too long. If he found out even a fraction of her past, it would not only destroy her, it would stain my authority. A weak Luna meant a
BRIDE FOR RENT IS MY FATED MATE. 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

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 aga
