I’d expected the wedding to be ruined by the video recording. That had been part of the plan. But this? I hadn’t seen this coming.

"I can't go through with this wedding," Edward said, his voice hollow and with an expression that was unreadable.

There was no fire or rage in his voice at the recording playing, no trembling emotions at his masculinity that had been spoken down upon by his bride to be. Just emptiness, a bland feeling I can't tell his reasons for.

My father shot to his feet in an instant, ignoring all the gaze that followed his movement.

"Continue with the vows, Elder. This wedding is just about to begin," he commanded, his voice sharp with a tone of finality.

The video still played in the background, obscene words echoing through the hall like a curse, but he didn’t care nor did he seem to.

He locked eyes with the computer operators and with a single glance, every screen in the room went dark.

The abrupt silence that followed was deafening.

The paparazzi was still frozen

  • Groom Of Three Sins; Alpha's Mate is a Male?    CH9: Edward's POV

    I hadn’t rejected Rebecca because of the recording.No, that would’ve been too easy and convenient. I’d preserved her honor even as her words to the stranger in the recording, so casually cruel has burned through the speakers and scorched whatever image I had left in front of hundreds of onlookers.But I'd made my decision before that.Even before the recording began to play, I’d whispered it to her, quiet and firm. I told her I wanted to call it off because I wasn't Interested. Not in tethering my soul to hers forever. Not in having her as my Luna or mother of my future heirs. And bleeding to protect her? Gosh, she couldn't even protect my own image..Still, despite everything, I’d tried to preserve a fragment of dignity for the both of us. I thought maybe we could end this quietly. But life, as usual, had other plans. Or maybe he did.I had a very strong idea who was behind the recording being leaked, but I didn’t care to chase the trail. Let him have his moment. In fact, he'd done

  • Groom Of Three Sins; Alpha's Mate is a Male?    CH7; Luca's POV

    I couldn’t tear my eyes off Edward no matter how hard I tried. Every time I blinked, I still found him.Rebecca flinched beside him. She probably assumed my stare was meant for her. Typical of her, always mistaking pity for affection.She’s such a tiresome thing forever throwing herself at me, even after I’ve shut every door in her face. From the beginning of our fling, I made it clear to her that it was a one night. Just a night and nothing real to come after.She'd accepted but even after that, it didn’t stop her.She followed me everywhere like a curse I couldn’t shake, lurking in steam rooms, tailing me to the gym and even showing up at bars where I hunted different people, both men and women alike who I consider distractions to warm my bed each night and erase my thoughts.Always begging and being too unnecessarily clinging.Well, except for last night.Last night, I came to her on my own accord. But not out of longing or weakness because that had been a calculated and strategic

  • Groom Of Three Sins; Alpha's Mate is a Male?    CH6; Rebecca's POV

    My mind was a storm spiraling deeper as I walked into the hall. The music playing faintly in the background, meant to usher me down the aisle like a fairytale bride.I pasted a smile on my face. A facade. Anything to conceal the chaos brewing inside me.I didn’t want this marriage. Even Edward knew. I'd told him once, two months ago, during the brief period of our arranged courtship. I had leaned in close, just enough for only him to hear me and whispered that none of this was real. That this was just about the alliance between our families. That I didn’t want him and never will be interested in him.He had kept his distance after that. Or at least, pretended to except when we needed to act in public.But I loathe him now.I didn’t before. I had no reason to.But the day my father summoned me into his study and told me I’d be marrying Edward Johnson, something in me snapped. Disgust and anger at him. Revulsion. That thin line between irritation and hatred became clearer with every pa

  • Groom Of Three Sins; Alpha's Mate is a Male?    CH5: Edward's POV

    I opened my eyes the next morning, wincing at the sharp beam of sunlight streaming through the open window. My body ached in places I didn’t even know could hurt, both inside and out. Every movement was a reminder of what had happened the night before. Flashes of the previous night threatened to rush in, vivid and raw, but I shoved them aside before they could take root. Whatever happened… it belonged to the past now. Yesterday had died with the night. Today was a new day—my wedding day. The beginning of a new chapter, and I refused to start it weighed down by regret. Groaning softly, I tried to sit up, only to feel the weight of a firm arm draped across my waist, tightly and possessive. I stilled, heart skipping. Slowly, I tilted my head to the side. Not Sydney. I’d memorized Sydney’s arms last night. His grip when he held me in that hallway, his touch when he kissed every inch of my skin. These arms were different, broader and stronger. “It must be the tattooed man…” I whispere

  • Groom Of Three Sins; Alpha's Mate is a Male?    CH4: Edward's POV

    I hadn’t planned to see more after what I’d witnessed earlier, after what I’d heard.Though he hesitated, Luca had eventually let me go in the hallway, right after those strange voices had echoed, mocking me.He hadn’t said a word. That silence was unexpected—unlike him.I didn’t stop to process it. I just walked away, fast, needing somewhere private. Somewhere to hide and cry my heart out.I am an Alpha’s son. An heir with Alpha blood running through my veins. Crying is weakness, and weakness is not tolerated. So I’ve learned to hide when the weight gets too much, learned to weep only in secret.But just as I was nearing the exit, I ran into Sydney, Rebecca’s brother.He’s been my friend since childhood, and seeing me in such a broken state despite not knowing the reasons, he pulled me into a hug and congratulated me on my upcoming union with his sister. Further adding salt to my open injury.I think he must’ve just returned from abroad, tonight or maybe the day before. It’s been nea
