“ Get up, you are getting married to the king.” Ordered by a maid as soon as the door unlocked to my prison and I stood up abruptly in shock.

“ He…. Wants to marry me?” I stuttered unbelievably.

No, that couldn’t be… he was going to trade me off like a slut last night, and today he was going to marry me?

This had to be some kind of trap.

But this wasn’t my decision to make. It never had been.

“Yes,” the maid replied curtly. “Now follow me. You must be ready within the hour.”

Her eyes were sharp, her tone unkind, and I swallowed hard, quietly nodding.

Exactly an hour later, I was dressed in a peach gown adorned with delicate floral patterns, the hem sweeping the floor like petals in the wind.

And just like that, I was led to the throne room alone. The doors closed behind me with a heavy thud.

What kind of wedding was this?

The walls were cold, carved from stone, and the air held a strange silence. Only two people stood at a distance. And then… him.

The King.

His back was turned, but

  • Wife To The Werewolf Beast King   A Puppet For The Throne

    “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she whispered, her voice trembling as emotion filled her eyes. “Why?” Her voice cracked. “What did I do to deserve being sold to men who meant to hurt me?” She took a shaky breath, struggling to remain composed. “I told you… I was only married to Aidan for a few hours. I hardly knew him. You’re punishing me for something I had no part in.” Her gaze lifted to him, pleading. “I know he… he hurt you. That he took your wife. But I didn’t know any of that. I wasn’t even there when it happened.” A tear slipped down her cheek. “Why are you taking revenge on me?” She paused, her voice softer now, almost breaking. “My father gave me to him in exchange for money. I had no choice… None of this was ever my fault.” Rhydian froze, his gaze falling to her trembling hands. “Guards,” he called, his voice sharp, but there was a tremor in it, one even he couldn’t hide. He couldn’t bring himself to look at her again. She was crying—truly

  • Wife To The Werewolf Beast King   The Crash Behind Her Cry

    My wrist ached from the chains, the cold iron biting into my skin, leaving behind soft bruises that bloomed across my arms like wilted flowers. The maid said nothing as she began to scrub my body, her touch brisk but not unkind. She didn’t meet my eyes. Perhaps she couldn’t.She hadn’t spoken a word since she stepped into the prison mine. She didn’t need to. I already knew why she was here. Why the water had been warmed. Why the scented oil was waiting on a chipped silver tray.They were preparing me.Preparing me for the night.For the man who had paid to have me.That was what Rhydian had said—coldly, without emotion. That as the wife of a traitor, killing me would be too quick, too merciful. But turning me into something he could profit from? That was where he found satisfaction.I lowered my gaze as the maid continued her task, the silence between us growing heavier with every passing moment.And still, I said nothing.Because I already understood. This was no longer about punish

  • Wife To The Werewolf Beast King   His Property

    He stopped before her, pain flickering in his golden eyes.“Seize her. Put her hands in chains and lock her away in the prison mine,” he demanded, gritting his teeth, he was barely masking the storm within him."No, please!" Her scream faded behind him as the soldiers dragged her away.“Your Majesty, I know nothing about this. Please, you have to believe me!”Rhydian was terribly devastated after Aidan's revelation of how he murdered his wife. He loathed himself for failing to protect her.As he walked down the aisle, he thought of her beautiful smile, her kind words, and her unwavering warmth.She had been his light in the darkness, the only person who saw beyond his cold exterior.When he married her, she showed him what true love meant. She had always wanted the best for him, and it was his fault she was gone.It was his fault for dying and leaving her at the mercy of his cruel brother.His long legs quickened as he headed toward the council room, each step heavy with the weight of

  • Wife To The Werewolf Beast King   Seize The Queen

    “We all saw him die!” A man shrieked, clutching a little girl as he ran through the corridor. “How can a dead man come back to life?!” A woman cried, hugging her son as if the man who had risen from the dead was coming to slaughter them both.Wails and screams filled the air. Behind me, Sriza and Raya trembled, their hands gripping the folds of my dress. The guard beside me stood rigid, his face pale with terror, though he struggled to maintain his composure as a soldier.“Surround the palace and fish out every man who played a part in Prince Rhydian’s death!” A man ordered with a growl.We immediately locked eyes with him, just as Zevran attempted to pull me toward a secret passage.I froze on the spot as a chill swept through my skin. My maids, on the other hand, closed their eyes tightly, ready to embrace death.Unexpectedly, the guard next to Zevran stood frozen, his hand tightly clenched at his sword. Our eyes locked on the man before us; blood dripped from the silver sword in

  • Wife To The Werewolf Beast King   Return Of The Beast King

    I walked down the stairs of the throne room, carefully lifting my dress as I took each step at a time.My heart fluttered nervously under the weight of so many watchful eyes.I was unsure how to feel beneath their gazes, but I tried to hold my head high like a proper lady should.Except, I was not a princess nor someone of noble blood, at least as far as I could tell from the family I came from.My father was a businessman who sold flowers, and my mother was a baker.I was just a simple flower seller from the public market, and yet… somehow, I was lucky to be here.King Aidan had said, “Your beauty is rare. Come with me, and you won’t need to sell flowers on this street anymore. Instead, you’d be my queen who stands by the side of a very powerful king.” His words had left me breathless; my face warmed with embarrassment as I blushed at the image of them.It felt like a dream—a jest too cruel to believe. But why would the King of Vynsera play a trick on someone like me?But it wasn’t a
