The Alpha's Unwanted Bride Asleep.
{Isla’s POV}“Take me to it,” I said again.“But what if your husband…”“With all due respect, sir, don’t make me repeat myself.”The old man led me down a passage so old I could smell it. It smelled like rain. He walked slowly with his hand on the wall as if he were looking for a hidden key. The pass had been mine all this time, and no one told me about it.Everything was starting to make sense. Why my father never allowed me to go to events as myself. Why he didn’t allow me to work. Why he trapped me in that house and spread false things about my name.Every paper, every seal was signed in my name. It was all mine. And Richard took that from me.“I can’t believe they didn’t tell you about it. And now it's going to be in Blackwood’s name in a year.” The old man said.I followed him with my fist shut, and all I could think was that my father had sold something that wasn’t his to sell, and that he had sold me along with it.The safe was behind a painting of a mountain. Inside was a sma
The Alpha's Unwanted Bride The Greyhaven Pass
{Isla’s POV}“Wakey, wakey.” I heard a voice say above my head.But I knew whose it was. It was Nessa’s.“I don’t have work today. Leave me alone.” I said, still keeping my eyes shut. “What are you still doing in my room? Don’t you have work in the house?”“No, ma’am. In case you forgot. I am a caretaker. Your caretaker. You are my responsibility. And Axel has ordered me to get you ready before 9 am.”I removed the duvet from my face and slowly opened my eyes. Something felt different. There was a warmth in my chest, low down and steady, like a hand resting there. It had been there ever since last night, when Nessa was jumping on my bed.When I got up from the bed, Nessa had already laid out the outfit I was wearing. It was a casual one. Usually, I’d let myself get excited and delusional, but surprisingly, I didn’t care.I just did what I always do in the morning and went to the bathroom for my pill. It lives in an orange bottle in the cabinet. I have taken one every morning since my
The Alpha's Unwanted Bride Properly.
{Isla’s POV} Nessa ran the bath so hot I couldn’t see my reflection in the mirror again.She found the zipper on my backless dress and drew it down slowly. The way I hoped Axel would take it down this night, or at least our wedding night.The dress fell into the corner, and we both looked at it.“I will take it to the laundry…”“Burn it,” I said.Nessa blinked. “Ma’am, that’s at least twenty thousand dollars. I know a woman on Averly Row who would give you half. If I get the receipt.”“No,” I said.“A third then. Nobody would ever know.”“It has a dead man’s blood on it, Nessa. I’m not selling it to some stranger who will wear it to her anniversary dinner. I said burn it. That’s an order.”“Yes, ma’am,” she said and carried it out at arm’s length, though I know she isn’t burning it.I got in. The water went pink around my knees, and I watched it for a long time. I didn’t know when Nessa came in till I felt her hands on my back. Then she started rinsing my hair without a word, which w

{Isla’s POV}The wiper was the loudest in the car.I was cold but couldn’t care less about that. Tonight’s event replayed in my head.Marcus drove with both hands on the wheel, and his eyes didn’t leave the road once. Not even when he received a phone call from his husband. For a second, I was scared they were going to kill me, but I remembered they still needed my signature.I folded myself into the corner of the back seat in a dress with no back. Every time we passed a streetlight, the car went gold, then dark, and each time it went gold, I could see the blood dried into the creases of my knuckles. None of it was mine. I curled my fingers; Poppy's picture was underneath it. I had been holding it so tight my fingers had gone numb, and when I opened it, the school photograph was creased down the middle, and I couldn’t help but think why Axel would kill that man.“Marcus.”“Mrs. Blackwood.”“Why did Axel kill him? Where did he get the gun?”The wipers went right, left, and Marcus eyes
The Alpha's Unwanted Bride Someone Who Can Braid.
{Axel’s POV}She walked back in.I stood where she had left me and watched her go through the glass door. For a second, I thought she was going to the car. I was about to find Marcus to drive her.But in her ruined makeup and bloody chest, she walked straight into the party.I should have followed her. But I didn’t. I wanted to see what she would do. I had been watching her the whole night. It wouldn’t harm a soul if I did it a little longer.She went straight to the bar, took a glass, and swallowed it whole. Then she walked across the room to the pillar, and all eyes followed her as she did it.Two women were standing there. Diane Hollis, whose husband sits on the council, and a friend of hers whose name I don’t care to learn.The whole room fell silent. They were all watching my wife as she slowly made her way to the pillar.“My mother’s name was Amelia,” Isla said. Almost polite. “In case you were wondering.”Diane Hollis smiled at her. “Was it, dear? I heard she had a few other na
The Alpha's Unwanted Bride I don’t know.
{Isla’s POV}My husband killed a man because he touched me, and I have never been so angry in my life.The music inside never stopped.No one heard it.A man was lying on the grass with a hole in his head, and somewhere behind those glass doors, a violin was still playing something pretty. His blood was splashed on my face, and all I could think of was Poppy, his daughter.My ears were ringing. My wrist was throbbing where he had held it. The air smelled burnt.Jonah’s jacket was lying on the step where it had fallen off my shoulders, and his wallet had slid out of the pocket and lay open on the stone.Poppy picture stared back at me. Gap in her teeth. That braid.Axel came down the steps.At a normal pace. The way he walked into his office every morning, like nothing in the world had happened that needed him to hurry. He put his gun in his jacket somewhere. He crossed Jonah’s leg without looking at them, the way you cross a puddle.Then he stopped in front of me and took out a napkin
