Jason’s POV

The music pumping for the post-ceremony reception was getting on my nerves. As were the people grinding on the dance floor and laughing.

In fact, basically everything was pissing me off right now. And it was all that bastard Kieran’s fault.

In an hour, Jessica and I were supposed to do a bunch of traditional activities - toss some favors, open gifts, take photos, and so forth - but my heart wasn’t in it. All I could think about was how Kieran was trying to steal Charlotte from me.

Why the hell did he even want her? Had she tried to seduce him in the courtyard earlier? Was he stupidly in love with her at first sight?

I didn’t get it, and it annoyed me. I had sent my Beta to see what he could find out from other guests who knew Kieran better. Now he appeared at my elbow.

“Report,” I snapped, tossing back the remnants of the whiskey I was drinking.

“Alpha, it seems that Alpha Kieran has brought back many brides previously,” my Beta conveyed the information quickly in a low vo

  • The Alpha Daddy's Contractual Bride   #Chapter 15: Absence

    Charlotte’s POV“I wasn’t staring!” I protested lamely, “I just… hadn’t seen him… like that… uhhhh…”The other wolves hooted and hollered at my stumbling words, teasing in a manner that seemed mostly good-natured but was definitely at my expense.Finally Kieran cleared his throat and the others stepped back quickly, giving us some private space.My face was bright red at this point, and it was made even worse when Kieran said coldly, “Stop doing this. Don’t cross the line. You should remember what we agreed - we won’t develop feelings.”First off, that was a bold presumption, I thought. This man was so full of himself!“I admire athleticism and your physique - but you are the one reading into it!” I said affably, “If there were any other well-built man with his shirt off, I’d look too!” I glanced around the field pointedly, “Besides, our deal also included not interfering in each other’s private life, right?” and I smiled sweetly.Kieran didn’t seem to appreciate my tone. He clenched

  • The Alpha Daddy's Contractual Bride   #Chapter 14: The Female Gaze

    Charlotte’s POVNora’s soft x qbreathing was a pleasant whisper in my ear when Kieran quietly rose from the bed. The little girl didn’t even stir as his weight lifted off the mattress. She just continued to slumber on, looking like a perfect angel.With a last, lingering glance at the little girl who had captured my heart in a single day, I got up as well. Kieran opened the door, waving me through courteously.He pulled the door shut behind us softly, then looked at me in the low, warm light of the hallway.“Thank you for your assistance today,” he said, nodding down at me before turning and heading towards his room. I watched him go for a second, then returned to my own chambers with my cheeks flushed pink.I patted my face with the back of my hands and was grateful I didn’t encounter anyone else in the hallway.‘It’s just because that bed was so warm!’ I told myself as I climbed into bed, ‘Three people squeezed into one kid’s bed is too many!’Still, I was grateful Kieran hadn’t rem

  • The Alpha Daddy's Contractual Bride   #Chapter 13: A Promise

    Charlotte’s POVKieran and I both froze at Nora’s soft words.“I want you to marry my dad.”She reached for Kieran’s hand as well, then tried to put our two hands together. Neither Kieran nor I knew what to do, but as our fingertips brushed, I felt that same shocking jolt of electricity I had felt when I brushed against him in the courtyard.Stunned, I let my hand fall away. Kieran made no move to touch me further either. On the couch, Nora pouted and made a frustrated sound.I looked down at her, seeing her little face crumple in disappointment, and she inhaled a shuddering breath, her little chin quivering. Tears spilled from her eyes.“Oh honey,” I breathed, and sat back down on the couch and pulled her towards me. I kissed her soft, round cheeks and brushed away the tears with my fingertips, “You shouldn’t feel sad. Your daddy loves you very much and I know he will never leave you. He only wants what’s best for you.”“I want you!” Nora wailed anxiously, clinging to me. I looked up

  • The Alpha Daddy's Contractual Bride   #Chapter 12: Recrimination

    Charlotte’s POVKieran’s appearance was shocking. His knuckles were bloody, but there wasn’t a scratch on him. He looked like he’d been in a fight, but he hadn’t broken a sweat.Who was this man? And what had he been doing?I continued to stare at him as he raved and ranted, “Who gave my daughter mushrooms? Guards!”He stalked over to the plate on the table, then threw it against the wall. I winced at the crash, and Nora whimpered and clung tighter onto me.At the sound of her cry, Kieran whirled and stalked towards me. From the hallway, several warrior wolves rushed in and stood, waiting for the Alpha’s orders.“Was it you?” he glared at me as he tried to haul Nora out of my lap, but the girl only clung to me harder and started crying. I slowly shook my head, ‘no’.“She’s upset,” I explained calmly, wrapping my arms around the upset child and climbing to my feet with her in my arms. I kept my voice low and steady as I talked, not wanting to frighten her further, “I only gave her some

  • The Alpha Daddy's Contractual Bride   #Chapter 11: Unpalatable

    Charlotte’s POV“We’ll see how your rules make me obey!”The provocative words fell from my lips as though by accident. I cringed as Kieran’s expression turned grim. His lips curled contemptuously.“I will watch you obey,” he promised ominously, “Now go.” He pointed down the hallway towards the central staircase.Dismissed, stomach still rumbling, I exited in the direction he indicated. As I passed by the dining room door, Nora darted out and grabbed my hand. She fell in step with me, tugging me slightly towards the staircase.“You want to go upstairs?” I asked, glancing down at her. Nora nodded excitedly, biting her lip and swinging my hand. Then suddenly she stopped in her tracks and tugged me to kneel down.“What is it?” I asked, concerned. Had Sophia done something to her while I was in the hallway talking to Kieran?Nora hesitated for a moment, then she pointed back down the hallway towards her father and reached out to gently touch my cheek. Then she hugged me tightly.I clutche

  • The Alpha Daddy's Contractual Bride   #Chapter 10: Wicked Woman

    Charlotte’s POV“Who is it, Sophia?” the belligerent she-wolf’s friends were calling from the far side of the curtain.Sophia stared at me, eyes wide in disbelief. Her haughty, beautiful face quickly composed itself into domineering arrogance.“Just some disgusting human,” she called back to the others, her eyes locked on me and full of disdain, “She says she’s Kieran’s new bride!”“What?!” the curtain was yanked back and a half-dozen women gaped at me from the other side, “This slave? She looks like trash! No better than an omega!” they critiqued my appearance and surmised about my rank as though I couldn’t hear their judgmental comments.“Don’t agitate yourselves, sisters,” Sophia said loudly, her voice cold as ice and her eyes full of jealousy, “She’ll be gone within the week. I promise it.”Her friends cawed with mean-spirited merriment.“You’re such an expert now, Sophia, I bet you could make her turn around and leave right now!” one snickered.“Is that a criminal brand on her wr
