CHAPTER 5

Nathaniel

I blinked in surprise. Wasn't rejecting her supposed to be my own idea?

I remember vividly how hurt she had looked earlier when I told her that I was going to reject her after the wedding ceremony.

And now, she was the one trying to get rid of me?

“And you are also going to be responsible for my medical education,” she added. “My parents hate the fact that I have an interest in the medical line and are not going to support me.”

“So, do we have a deal?” she queried, stretching out her hand for a handshake.

For the first time in what seemed like forever after my unfortunate accident, my lips curved into a smile.

“You seem too eager to get rid of me. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought you had this planned the minute you discovered you were going to marry me.”

She shrugged. “You also want to be rid of me. Or have you forgotten the words you said to me at the wedding hall so soon?”

My smile morphed into a smirk. “Yeah. You are right. There’s no way I w

  • Married To The crippled Alpha    chapter 52

    Chapter Rosalie’s POVI shut the door softly, but the sound still felt like a gunshot. My hands trembled as they gripped the handle, the image of Daphne leaning into Nathan searing itself into my brain like a brand. My heart raced while a deep, hollow ache bloomed in my ribs.I pressed my back to the door, my vision blurring with tears I refused to let fall. I shouldn’t feel this way. I shouldn’t.But I did.I felt stupid.Stupid for thinking I mattered. Stupid for imagining, even for a second, that Nathan could be different. That he could choose me. That there was even a choice to be made.Hadn’t he made it clear from the start?He didn’t feel anything for me. He loved her.So why did seeing them together make me feel like I was shattering into pieces? Why did it feel like my heart had been taken out of my chest and stomped on, over and over, until there was nothing left but dust?I was nothing. A placeholder. A temporary name on paper until he could officially be with the woman he

  • Married To The crippled Alpha    chapter 51

    Chapter Rosalie's POV Alpha Kincaid struck again.He was adamant in wanting me gone, was this the reason Nathan suddenly switched up?I hoped he didn't misunderstand the situation believing I was asking for a divorce when this was his father’s doing.I had to talk to Nathan. Maybe he could speak to his father and persuade him to hold off the divorce.Well at least till I was able to heal him.A small pang settled at the bosom of my cleavage but I refused to dwell on it. This was a marriage of inconvenience; it was inevitable we would get divorce.I took a shaky breath and pushed myself off the bed, folding the papers and tucking them into my dresser. The day already took a terrible turn, I needed a bath to clear my head.Doing just that, I prepared a bath and soaked in it. I didn’t know how long I stayed in there; but it was long enough for the water to cool and the tips of my fingers to wrinkle. It felt right staying afloat away from the world and the toxins but all good things m

    Chapter 50Nathan's POV Was I really a bad person?The question wouldn't leave my mind as Brad helped me into my room, closing the door behind us with a soft click. Luckily it was still a bit early and the halls were empty, Brad was cautious wheeling me carefully and quickly to avoid being seen.I was lost the whole way, it was like my brain could remember the movement but couldn't see it.“You okay man?” Brad questioned as he stopped. I couldn't reply.I was angry, annoyed, sad, confused at the same time. Why would she risk her life to heal me but couldn't wait to be free from this marriage.Was it really necessary to opt for divorce? Was I really such a terrible person?Just when I thought we were getting to know one another, I wasn't expecting to be romantically involved but still this was astonishing.I slide into the mattress, running a hand down my face, trying to push the weight of Rosalie’s expression out of my mind.Brad lingered, fidgeting awkwardly, shifting from foot t

  • Married To The crippled Alpha    chapter 49

    Chapter Rosalie's POV I was still lost in the euphoria of his gaze when he moved slightly leaning a little more enough to make my heart skip a beat.Lightly his fingers brushed under my chin, as he tucked one under tilting my face. My eyes widened as the pad of his thumb gently grazed the curve of my jaw. His gaze locked onto mine like he was searching for something deep inside me I wasn’t sure I even had.I couldn't take it anymore, the suspense was driving me insane.Two words ticked in my head… would he?I didn't breathe… I couldn't, I tried to look away, but his grip was firm, keeping me pinned.This man owned me!With no words I obeyed his silent command to stay in place. He was the only that moved, his thumb tracing delicately in a seductive dance.I believed time slowed, the world remained still when I shurreded under his hold.His breath tickled my skin as he leaned in, his lips so close to my ear that a shiver raced down my spine. My heart beat was so loud I believed he co

    Chapter 48Rosalie POVI paused wondering if I was imagining it.“Nathan” I whispered, closing the book gently, his body relaxed gently, holding onto my thighs as he buried his face in them.I gulped hard staring down at him, heart clenching in my chest as my fingers itched to touch him. His hair had fallen over his forehead in soft waves, and without thinking, I reached out and gently pushed it back, tucking a strand behind his ear, careful not to touch him.He looked so peaceful.So different from the stubborn, rude man I once met.I could understand him more now though, the boy who never got to be a child. The boy who had to grow up too fast, under the weight of expectations and duty. And it hit me-he and I weren’t so different after all. I’d never had much of a childhood either. I had spent years chasing after scraps of affection, doing anything I could to get my parents’ attention, I would have done anything to make my mom sit down and read me a story—just once, to feel what i

    Chapter 47Rosalie’s POVSleep had never been so elusive. I turned on the bed again, pulling the covers over my head, as though hiding from the Alpha’s words would make them vanish.Divorce Nathan. And leave the pack.His voice replayed in my head like a broken spell, chasing away any sense of peace. I burrowed deeper into the mattress snuggling the blanket tightly but it was useless. My mind spiraled with every thought I didn’t want to face.Where would I even go?For a long time I’d convinced myself once Nathan was healed, I’d go to medical school like I always dreamed. Start over. Do something for me.But Nathan wasn’t healed. This was all a lie, the deal would be off and I would be thrown away with no other choice but to turn rogue.On the other end of this twisted string was Daphne. We were in a silent battle of pregnancy. I was certain she would do anything in her power to get pregnant for Nathan and that didn't sit right with me.They were demanding too much in too little tim
