Beta's Contracted Wife 29: The Visit
"What do with have here, an awe-inspiring ceremony!" This inauspicious voice came with a flame of blue light, followed by the shadow of a big black wolf. And people backed away in horror."Sternberg, the black mad wolf," unlike everyone, Quinlan wasn't scared. He pushed Penelope right behind him so she couldn't see the malicious creature but she was already looking with enlarged pupils. She could recall when Ramsay told her about the cause of Kieran's blindness. Alpha Bailey who she had killed had taken an antidote that made his claws and fangs venomous."What in the seven hells…" "Shhhh," Quinlan clamped his hand against Penelope's mouth to refrain her from finishing her swearing."Happy thirty-first birthday, Kieran," the black wolf looked at Alpha Kieran and threw him a sinister smile.Fear was evident on the faces of everyone. Even Alpha Kieran seemed like he just had a shit in his pants, from where he was standing in front of his men.The shadow flew to Alpha Kieran's side and c
Beta's Contracted Wife 30: Sailing North
Quinlan was cursing the entire time he stood at the seaport half an hour later. Men were stocking the ships with food and other necessities, they were to leave Easton Glasgow that night.Quinlan had no choice but to follow Alpha Kieran's order, whilst Penelope was being held aside for the time being. He didn't know if his Alpha would ever forgive her for speaking to him like that, in front of everyone. If only she had controlled her mouth and her emotions. Quinlan muttered under his breath and then clenched his fists. No doubt she had come to care for him in her own way, and tried to stand up for him even though it wasn't required. He was a man and he could speak for himself, but he could never disobey or say no to his Alpha. Penelope had not only surprised him but everyone inclusive. She was so fucking brave. He couldn't help but wonder how she got that mind she had. Majority of whores were known to be dumb but Penelope was too smart and sensitive for her own good. Quinlan wondered
Beta's Contracted Wife 1: Contract Agreement
"So, the love of your life, the lady Cecile, ditched you and married Alpha Kieran?" Penelope puffed her tobacco and it went directly into the man's face. However, he remained unfazed."Yes, my lady." He responded, maintaining eye contact."And it resorted to Alpha Kieran considering stripping you of your position because he believes you still have eyes for his wife, your ex-lover, correct?" She uplifted a brow as she threw her legs above his desk and pulled her long skirt up and parted her, revealing her pink cotton panties."You're right," Quinlan averted his gaze elsewhere because he didn't want to see bits of her pieces even though she was selling herself to him. He wasn't interested in what she was offering, he wanted her to agree in signing the papers he had on her desk, the ones she had her legs upon. "He's a good man, but he told me it'd be awkward to have me serve him when he's married to my ex-lover. So I want to marry as fast as I can before he relieves me of my duties.""An
Beta's Contracted Wife 2: Not Your Typical Wedding
This was business, she needed to carry on with her part as convincing as it could ever be. Penelope blew a strand of black hair that fell over her face and tucked it behind her ear, before taking casual strides.She was wearing a cream long sleeve gown with a tight-fitting waist that pushed outward her creamy bosoms. Her hair was braided in a loose fish braid. She didn't dress to cause an impression so she appeared fresh-faced in the sun God's Temple, without any makeup on.Penelope cursed under her breath as she walked towards Quinlan who was of course waiting for her with an elder in front. He was clad in a plain-high-necked long sleeve that was covered in a long coat. His beefy thighs were in white leggings that were accompanied by breeches. The lad was heavily built, and his perpetually hardened face didn't deny the fact that he was good-looking with his sand-blonde hair packed up in a ponytail.Penelope didn't mind the looks she was receiving from the few people gathered in the t
Beta's Contracted Wife 3: Awkward Ambiance
Quinlan was so upset that he couldn't stop clenching his jaw the whole time he rode in the carriage with Penelope to his home.He told his parents and friends they would speak on the morrow when they approached him right after the marriage. His father with flared nostrils had pulled his exasperated mother away when she was being persistent.To say they were disappointed in him was an understatement. But he didn't care, what pained him to the bone was the fact that Cecile, the Luna approached him with something wrapped in a gift box and told him she was happy to see him married.Just how heartless could she be? Knowing fully well that he was still so helplessly in love with her even though he was hurting. And then he watched leave with Alpha Kieran.Quinlan's heart clenched so tight in his chest that he could barely breathe, so he had to look away to let ventilation flow freely into his lungs, otherwise, he'd have choked from lack of air.He felt so hot inside like he could barely brea
Beta's Contracted Wife 4: His Home
When the carriage stopped at Quinlan's castle, Quinlan made his way out and was going to Penelope's side to help her out, to his surprise she was already outside, whirling her head around with the most intriguing mouth he had ever seen.For several moments he studied her, wondered why he even stared at her lips more than normal, the half-full moon gave it this delightful-"You came to help me out of the carriage?" Her voice snapped him from his thoughts and he clenched his jaw for losing his concentration on her."You're too kind, my lord," she offered him a smile and then hooked her arm around his."Castle looks magnificent, can you please lead the way?" Penelope arched a brow at him and he immediately cleared his throat before he found himself lost in basking in her flowery scent for a moment. The way they bounced in the carriage earlier was doing no justice to his mind, however, the face that kept appearing was Cecile's because she was the only woman he ever slept with."Right, let
Beta's Contracted Wife 5: Nightly Desires
'You want to bed him,' Wildchild, Penelope's wolf, taunted as Penelope tossed in bed for the umpteenth time.Quinlan was asleep on the floor on a duvet and pillows, while he left the king-sized bed for her. Quinlan skipped dinner that evening and she was left alone in the huge dining hall. She ate so much she could barely walk and now she was having a hard time falling asleep.There was a bit of a commotion earlier, whilst they headed to Quinlan's room. It was discovered that Eddard tumbled the remaining seven rooms upside down because he was trying to do the newlyweds a favor. Quinlan was contemplating murder because he thought Penelope would spend the night in one of the rooms, only to figure it wasn't only her room the head butler rubbished.And now, he was fast asleep on the floor, still clad in his wedding attire. When she asked to sleep on the floor, he disapproved of it, cursed so badly as he threw the duvet and the pillows over the floor. Penelope had never seen a man so angry
Beta's Contracted Wife 6: Surprises And A Few Lies In The Garden
It was dawn when Quinlan left his study and headed for his room. He spent the rest of the early hours sleeping there because it was safer than sharing his room with a wild, wild woman. Although he had sustained a bit of neck pain.On reaching the door, he hesitated before knocking, somewhat on alert because he didn't want to see what he wasn't prepared for. Who knows if she was naked, waiting for him by this time? He just could not trust her anymore, after last night.Releasing a puff of breath, he knocked some more, pausing to respond to the greetings of his female servants who were cleaning the hallway and dusting cobwebs off the windows and every other thing that required dusting.Quinlan wondered why there was no response from Penelope. He took hold of the doorknob and pushed the door gently, trying to peep through the small opening of the door. His maids exchanged weird glances, wondering why he was behaving that way when it was his room."Penelope?" Quinlan called out as he popp
