Karma's Bride: His Until Death C10
“She didn’t just kill your child, Precious,” Theo says, taking the empty tea cup from my trembling fingers and setting it softly on the bedside table. “She made you beg for forgiveness for bleeding on her floor.”I sit frozen on the edge of the plush hospital bed, my throat raw and empty of tears. Morning light pours through the reinforced glass, warming the silver IV stand beside me, but my blood feels like liquid ice.“I held her hand in the emergency room,” I whisper, my voice barely a dry rasp. “I apologized to Kara for ruining her white dress when I fell down the stairs. I thanked her for staying with me while the nurses prepped the room. I thought she was my sister.”Theo doesn't offer soft, useless comfort. His broad, dark alpha presence fills the room, cold and heavy as iron.He turns to the bedside table and picks up a thick black file, opening it with a crisp snap. He drops three pages of official hospital records onto my lap.“The ambulance driver who signed the field repor

“Find a rich alpha, Precious, and stop playing with creams in a bowl,” Kara laughed, flopping onto her twin bed in our tiny, cramped apartment three years ago.I kept stirring the hot plate, blending the shea butter and vitamin C formulas for my thesis project, Precious Glow.“I want my own empire, Kara,” I said, wiping a streak of sweat from my forehead. “Not a husband’s allowance.”Kara smiled, but the warmth never reached her cold blue eyes. “You’re so cute when you’re naive.”Two months later, at the regional pack business gala, I wore a thirty-dollar thrift-store dress. I turned a corner near the bar and slammed straight into Lancelot Oscar Peterson, spilling red wine across his silk dress shirt.I apologized profusely, my face burning with embarrassment. Lancelot just laughed, his golden alpha eyes crinkling at the corners. We ended up standing on the patio talking for two straight hours. He asked for my number before I left. I gave it to him, my chest floating on air.When I go
Karma's Bride: His Until Death C8
“She manipulating a grieving husband, Lance! That’s all she’s doing!”Kara’s shrill, panicked voice bleeds through the speaker of the television mounted in Theo’s makeshift office inside the warden’s wing. On the screen, social media comments are scrolling so fast they are a blur of white text. #PrisonBride is trending number one worldwide. The court of public opinion is violently cracking in half right before our eyes.She looks like a victim, one top comment reads. Who is the billionaire standing behind her? Did we get this whole story wrong?I stare at the screen, my heart hammering like a trapped war drum against my ribs. The raw, skeletal photo of me in my hospital gown, with Theo’s broad hand clamped over my shoulder and the black titanium ring gleaming on my finger, has shattered their sweet fairytale.I turn away from the television, my blood roaring, and storm toward the heavy mahogany desk where Theo sits.“You used me!” I shout, slamming my hand onto his polished desk, my t

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Perfection-Zuckerberg! I swear on my mother’s life I didn’t know who you were when you arrived!”The guard’s uniform is pressed so tight the seams look ready to burst, but his knees are shaking as he lowers a silver tray onto my bedside table. A hot porcelain mug of coffee sloshes over the rim, scalding his fingers. He doesn't even flinch at the heat. He just wipes it frantically with a white cloth, his face pale as chalk.“Where is the female guard from yesterday?” I ask, my voice gravelly as I sit up against the soft pillows. “The one who threw my dress in the bin?”“Transferred, ma'am,” he stammers, dropping his eyes to the floor. “Mr. Perfection had her and three others reassigned at four this morning. To a pack-owned copper mining site in northern Kazakhstan. They’re already on the transport plane.”My hand freezes halfway to the coffee mug. Power doesn't just knock on the doors of this prison; it breaks the locks and rewrite the laws before breakfast. The guards

“I married a stranger to survive my enemy,” I whisper to the silent room, slamming the heavy laptop lid shut so hard the top corner of the screen cracks.A spiderweb fracture creeps across the glass, severing the live feed of Kara and Lancelot tangled together in silk sheets five thousand miles away in Bora Bora. I don't care. The sight of Lancelot kissing her shoulder makes my stomach turn into a tight knot of hot bile.I stare down at the solid black titanium ring heavy against my left ring finger. It weighs almost nothing, but it feels like a ten-pound iron chain binding me to a man I barely know.The heavy door to my private medical cell swings open without a knock.Theo steps inside, carrying a heavy silver tray. The scent hits me instantly—seared steak, thick vegetable soup, and warm, crusty bread that smells like pure butter and life. Real food, not the grey slop the prison guards slop into plastic bowls.He sets the tray down on the small wooden bedside table with a soft clatt

“You look like death, Precious, but you’re still breathing.”The man on the other side of the thick glass doesn’t blink as I am shoved into the visitor chair. He sits still, tall and terrifying, wrapped in a black suit that costs more than my old life. His eyes are razor sharp, dark and ancient, tracking the dried blood on my chin and the pale sway of my neck.“You’re Timothy Theophilus Zuckerberg Perfection,” I whisper, my throat raw and burning. “The lawyer said you bought my sentence.”“I don’t just buy sentences, Miss Vance,” he says, his deep voice sliding through the speaker grate like velvet over steel. “I own the system that built them.”He doesn’t look at me with pity. He looks at me with intense, terrifying recognition. It is everything Lancelot isn’t—he is younger, harder, colder, built like a warlord who rules from the shadows. His presence crushes the air in my lungs, my wolf stirring in my chest, terrified and mesmerized all at once.“You don’t remember me,” Theo continu
