“There’s something else, and I’m curious to know what it is.” His face inched closer to my neck, and he inhaled deeply. My grip on my purse tightened, my heart pounding against my chest as I fought the urge to whimper and curl into his chest. ‘He doesn’t know. He couldn’t possibly know. There’s no way.’ I repeated in my mind. “There’s something about you that entrances me, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.” “If this is an attempt to coax me into accepting your proposal, you’re wasting your time. I will not marry you.” ~ ‘Alphas are heartless and egoistic creatures. They view us, omegas, as mere playthings for their twisted desires. You must never, under any circumstances, associate yourself with an alpha. It’s better to be dead than to cross paths with one.’ Those words were Arielle’s guiding principle in a ruthless world where Alphas dominated, Betas served, and Omegas—despite their intimate connection with the Alphas—were treated as nothing more than objects of desire. But when Alpha Raphael materializes out of thin air and offers her a substantial sum of money to be his contractual bride, Arielle is torn between holding onto her beliefs and sacrificing them to save her ailing mother. Arielle is left with no choice but to marry him, and although she is determined to harbor animosity towards her new spouse, there’s something about him that draws her in. However, when demonic creatures hellbent on destruction threaten her new life, will Arielle put her resentment towards Raphael aside and assist him? And what dark secret does her mother keep hidden that ensures the death of all her loved ones with each passing day?

The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 89
♡Arielle’s Point of View♡No. He couldn’t be. Please, he couldn’t be. Raphael couldn’t be dead. He couldn’t. He was too young. He still had so much to experience and enjoy in life. He couldn’t die without seeing his territory free of Killian’s plan. He… he couldn’t leave me.I knew sounded really selfish, but I was honest. I didn’t want him to die. I didn’t want him to leave me. He changed my life. He changed my perspective. He made me see the world, alphas, in true light instead of the tinted lens I had grown up with. He had made me feel all sorts of things that I never dreamed I would with not just anyone but an Alpha. I couldn’t let that type of man die. Fate could take me and leave him instead, and I would be fine. Because… I loved him.“I loved Raphael.” I whispered and tried not to scream, and laugh, and shout, and curse myself at the same time. What was wrong with me? I was crazy.He had confessed his love to me some days ago, and I kept insisting that I didn’t understand wheth
The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 89
♡Arielle’s Point Of View♡“Do you know how long we’ve been here?” I asked in a hushed tone as Raphael walked through a narrow path through a thick, dense forest of trees with dark blue leaves. It had been all we were seeing for the past few hours. It was eerie. They almost completely blocked the light of the stars, and we had to depend on Raphael’s sharp eyes to remain on the blue star so we wouldn’t wander astray. The silence was deafening and made me anxious that something was going to pop out of the leaves to attack us.“I don’t know. Maybe two or three days.” He replied just as quietly as I was, tightening his hold on me so I wouldn’t slip off his back.“Are you tired? We can take a break if you want.” I said, feeling sorry for him. He had been going through a lot. A whole lot. Fighting monsters, carrying me, and being on guard while I slept. It was an endless circle for him. And worse, his wounds weren’t healing as quickly as they were supposed to, one of the effects of The Int
The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 87
♡Arielle’s POV♡“Where did you learn to treat broken bones?” I asked as I watched him clean the last bit of blood off his arm. I wanted to help him patch his wounds, but he refused, like it was my hands that was hurt. It was the least I could do after he had helped me treat my broken leg.It wasn’t perfect given that our medical bag had been tussled during our encounters with the monster, and so some of our supplies had gotten broken. And honestly, we didn’t carry a cast to treat a broken leg because, well, we weren’t prepared for that. Injuries and wounds we were, but broken bones? Not so much. He had to make do with what was left and improvise. He did a great job.“Charlie was good at medicine, so he taught me a thing or two, even if he was sure I didn’t need it. I’m grateful he did.” Raphael said and began returning the medical equipment back to the bag.True, an alpha didn’t really need to know how to fix broken bones or stuff like that. Their healing rate was off the charts. If h
The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 86
♡Arielle’s POV♡ “Let go of me.” I screamed, slamming my boot of my free leg into its hand that held my other. It didn’t even flinch a bit at my action. It lifted me so my face could be in front of it and it let out a bone-curling roar. I shut my eyes, wincing at the terrible sound and pungent stench of rotting eggs that came from its mouth. Drops of saliva touched my skin, and I felt like I was pierced by little needles. I needed to act fast, or else I would be monster food in just the first few minutes I spent in The Intertwine. And I couldn’t depend on Raphael. He was too busy defending himself. I just hoped he was okay. The sharp pain I felt in my chest was no more and was replaced by the fanatic banging of my heart. My hand unsheathed the dagger on my thigh, and with all my energy, I stuck the blade into its right eye. A thick, yellow, repugnant liquid oozed out of the gash. I expected the monster to shriek in pain or at least react a bit to the stab and maybe drop me while he
The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 85
♡Arielle’s POV♡It was like we had stepped into a magical world that only existed on the pages of fantasy books. The Intertwine was nothing like the grey-scale world I had imagined. It was beautiful. No, beautiful could not cut it. It was ethereal.The vast night sky was full of a multitude of dazzling stars that glowed, each of different sizes and soft colours. Some even had other stars orbiting around them. They were not enough to make the world as bright as day, but bright enough for us to see where we wanted to go. The landscape wasn’t as colourful as the sky and was a bit empty. We were standing in an almost endless meadow that had sparse little flowers and trees with coloured leaves here and there, but that didn’t mean it didn’t have its charm. A soft breeze moved through the short grasses, carrying a sweet, gentle scent.“Are you sure we’re in the right place?” I asked Raphael as I rubbed my eyes, in case I was dreaming about all I was seeing. I wasn’t. It all remained the sam
The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 84
♡Arielle’s POV♡ “… You’re pulling me out of my comfort zone, Raphael.” A masculine voice spoke as I pushed open the door of Raphael’s office. He was sitting on one of the couches, chatting and sipping wine with a dark-skinned man sitting opposite him, whom I had never seen before. ‘That must be Alpha Gordon. My ticket to getting information on Brielle.’ I thought, clutching the letter I had prepared, and I walked into the office. “Don’t tell me you would rather be holed up in Havenbrook than help save a damsel in distress. You can’t be that heartless.” Raphael teased. His gaze flickered at me, and his face brightened. “This is Arielle, my beautiful wife, and Luna.” He announced, leaping out to his feet and rushing to me. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to his friend. The man stood up, and only then did I notice he was not just tall; he was huge. He stood a few feet taller than Raphael, who was already tall, and had more defined muscle. While Raphael had more of a

♡Arielle’s POV♡“Please let her be with her phone this time.” I mumbled, pressing my phone to my ear as I paced around Raphael’s office. Since I had returned to Evercrest, I hadn’t heard anything from Brielle. I thought since Killian had accomplished what he wanted by shocking me and the whole world that he was my father, he would return the device to her, but it seemed like he hadn’t.I needed to speak to her. I needed to know how she and Mom were. Raphael and I were to go to The Intertwine the next day, and I doubted I would have peace of mind if I went without knowing how she was. Especially since Killian had greatly limited our contact. I just wanted to hear her voice to make sure she was okay.“You really don’t give up, do you?” A voice came from the other side of the phone, and I stopped walking, but instead of my face lighting up in joy, it twisted into a disgusted scowl. That wasn’t my sister. I had heard the voice only a few times, but I knew who it belonged to.“Why are you
The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 82
“Raphael?!” I gasped as sparks raced from the skin where his soft lips touched down to my core. One of his hands slid under my shirt, caressing my skin, and I quivered. “W-what are you d-doing?” “What does it look like I’m doing?” He murmured, pressing two more kisses on my neck, and I bit my bottom lip, holding back the moan that was ready to fall. I pressed my legs together, trying to calm the heat raging between them. “W-we shouldn’t do this. O-our c-contract.” I breathed, trying not to shut my eyes and loss myself in his actions. But it was so hard. It was so hard to fight against my instinct and not give in to him. His pheromones were interwoven with mine, and the warmth of his kisses and touches was so intoxicating. But we couldn’t. Our contract said no sexual intimacy. I had made that rule, and he had agreed. Yet he was breaking it. I was supposed to be mad. I was supposed to yell at him and demand he let me go. Then yell at him some more for violating our contract. But I co
The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 81
♡Arielle’s POV♡ ‘I’m outside, getting the air I need to clear, yet why does my heart still beat like it’s the end of the world?’ I thought, squeezing my hands clamped in front of me tighter as if it would calm me down. It didn’t. Nothing did. The fragrance of the garden around us and the cool evening air couldn’t calm my nerves. My entire being was still on the edge. Why? I didn’t know. Was it because I was afraid he was going to be mad that I spilled our secret to Liana or because he said I was his… mate? Blood rushed to my face, and I stared harder at the floor of the gazebo. I needed to forget about that and apologise for spilling the beans. “You’re fidgeting, Arielle. Why are you afraid?” Raphael said, taking my hands in his and placing a small kiss on them. My face grew warmer, and my heart rate went up. He wasn’t helping one bit by doing that. “I-I’m not afraid.” I replied, although my voice betrayed me by sounding weak and meek. “You can’t even look at me.” He chuckled and
