"You took your sweet time," he said, his a bit serious.The voice from the back seat, presumably Lauren, chimed in, "You should've called us to witness the epic Colin-roasting session. We would've brought popcorn."Jenny, who seemed equally invested in the conversation, added, "Yeah, a phone call would've been nice. I was missing my daily dose of Mellisa's sarcasm."Killian shook his head, a mock disapproval on his face. "It wouldn't have taken that long," he said, conveniently handing me a glass of

Before tying the knot with Killian, there's a prerequisite I must fulfill. The prospect of marrying the future alpha of a wolf pack comes with its challenges. According to Killian's mother, proving my worth is an essential trial. This involves venturing into his pack's territory, navigating the enchanting Solana forest—a mystical expanse. Both Killian and I must traverse this woodland to affirm our connection as each other's true mates.I turned to Killian with a raised eyebrow. "Magical forest, seriously? Are we going to encounter fairies and unicorns along the way?"Killian chuckled, his eyes sparkling with a mischievous glint. "More like mischievous sprites and perhaps an enchanted tree or two.""Enchanted trees?" I rolled my eyes. "Great. Just what every bride dreams of encountering before her wedding day.""If I accidentally offend a tree spirit, do you think it'll hold a grudge against our marriage?"Killian laughed, the sound echoing through the magical grove.

Just as I contemplated my newfound metallic makeover, the ground beneath me stirred. Vines and plants erupted from the forest floor, wrapping around me in a surreal dance. I yelped, flailing as the tendrils squeezed my body like an overenthusiastic boa constrictor."Okay, Solana forest, I get it. You're the mystical guardian, and I'm the sacrificial snack. Very funny," I quipped, the panic in my voice masked by forced humor.The plants tightened their grip, and I felt a strange energy coursing through me. It wasn't pain, but a pulsating sensation, as if the forest itself was examining my very essence. I squirmed, unsure if this was part of the werewolf initiation or if I was starring in a particularly bizarre nature documentary.My fingers instinctively reached for the small silver locket around my neck, a keepsake from my childhood. "Hey, Dominique, long time no howl. Got a minute?" I addressed my inner wolf, expecting the usual surge of chatty commentary. However, instead of the ty

Trapped in this stifling room, my body immobilized, my pleas echoing against the walls like a desperate symphony. I'm not one to easily admit defeat, but in this hellish confinement, my frustration reached a boiling point. "Mom, for the love of all that's holy, let me go! Melissa's in danger, can't you see that?" I roared, every fiber of my being aching to break free. Henrietta, my composed and infuriatingly calm mother, stood on the other side of the door. Her gaze, unwavering, met mine through the narrow gap between the frame and the door itself. A twisted smile played on her lips, sending shivers down my spine. "Patience, Killian. Your beloved Mellisa will be fine. Just a little longer," she replied, as if orchestrating some cruel game. Frustration clawed at me, my hands involuntarily balling into fists. "Damn it, Mom! My mark is burning. She's in pain. Why are you doing this?" I seethed, the weight of helplessness bearing down on me like a vice. Henrietta, ever the enigma, regar

[Killian’s trial] The dagger cut a clean line into my wrist, and blood poured out. I couldn't help but marvel at the strangeness of the situation, even in the face of impending danger."I hope you appreciate the dramatic flair," I muttered to Mellisa, as if she could hear me amidst the arcane mystique of the ritual. Her limp form hung in my arms, the very essence of vulnerability, and I was determined to see her through this bizarre ordeal.Blood dripped from my wrist, painting a crimson tableau in the air. With a firm resolve, I pulled Mellisa closer and encouraged her to drink the blood."I always dreamed of a romantic date, but this is not what I had in mind," I quipped, my attempt at humor an odd counterpoint to the gravity of our predicament. The blood continued to flow, weaving a macabre dance in the air before it met Mellisa's lips.The crimson liquid, our makeshift elixir, worked its peculiar magic. I watched as it cascaded over Mellisa's form, washing away the malevolent sil
Contracted marriage with the Alpha Prince Aftermath
In the midst of a heated exchange, George, his voice thundering with authority, berated Henrietta for her meddling ways, accusing her of driving both Killian and Mellisa to the brink of destruction with her relentless interference. "You've gone too far this time, Henrietta! Your incessant meddling has brought nothing but chaos to our family," he exclaimed, his frustration palpable.Henrietta, undeterred by George's reproach, fired back with a sharp retort. "Lane is nothing but a commoner, a mere opportunist," she countered, her tone laced with disdain. "Once Killian ascended to his rightful position as alpha, she'd do nothing but leech off the Anderson name, offering little in return."“And when did you decided that?” “The moment I saw her.” As George shook his head in disbelief, he brandished a stack of papers before Henrietta, each page filled with damning information meticulously gathered through his own investigations. "You're wrong, Henrietta. Dead wrong," he asserted, his voic

"Yeah, blame it on Hannah. Classic move, Collin."Jenny, clearly unimpressed, crossed her arms. "Let me guess, this gift basket is supposed to win Mel back?"Collin, looking slightly embarrassed, held out the gift basket as if it were a sacred offering. "It's just a small gesture to show how sorry I am."Jenny inspected the basket with exaggerated curiosity. "Is there a 'Sorry for Betraying You' card in there, too?"Collin, took a step forward, determined to make his case."It's not all my fault, you know?" Collin protested, his tone a mixture of defensiveness and self-pity. "Both sides contributed to the downfall of our relationship. It's not fair to put all the blame on me."Jenny, the unofficial judge and jury in this impromptu court session, raised an eyebrow in response. She locked eyes with Collin, her expression saying, "Let's hear it then."Collin, searching for the right words, continued, "Mel neglected me. She was always busy with her jobs and her mom's surgery.
