All Chapters of Game of hearts: The Ruthless Alpha and his warrior bride : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Celeste A week later.I stared out the window of the carriage, my blood boiling with rage and something else.Maverick had arrived in the Palace before the sun had risen, demanding my presence, and now, here I was on my way to my doom.“Don't look so sour, princes.” Maverick’s words broke into my thoughts. “It's your wedding day, smile a little.”“It's General to you.”“Not anymore. Your old title will no longer hold weight in your new position as King Edgar's wife.”I ignored him, not bothering to dignify his statement with a response. I was too erratic, and I didn't want to spill any unnecessary blood. There was only one man I wanted to kill, and I was on my way to marry him.The image of my soldiers and warriors crying as I told them the price I had to pay for the war to be over appeared in my mind briefly to torture me.“Nothing to say, princess?’ Maverick continued. “I am talking to you,” he tapped my knee, and my maid, Selena, snapped beside me.“You will not touch the prince

Celeste “You look beautiful,’ my now husband and fated mate whispered as we swayed to the music in the middle of the reception hall.I hated every minute of it. The people, the women openly gawking at me like I had two heads.The men were no different. There stared were more discreet but it was still obvious to the eyes of a trained general like me.But what I hated the most was the realization that I had come to the altar. He was my mate. My fated mate. “You don't have to lie to save your ego, Your majesty.” I gritted. “I know you hate my new hairstyle.” He spun me around and brought me back so that I was only an inch from his face.He chuckled, his chest rumbling like an earthquake.“If I was upset, you'll not be standing in the middle of the dance floor with me as my wife.” His voice was filled with amusement. He didn't take anything seriously and it irked me but I didn't let my distaste for him show.“I expected this level of rebellion from you. In the end you are still a woma

Celeste“How was it?” Selene was at the door as soon as I arrived at my main chambers, her Bambi eyes wide with curiosity and anticipation. She looked like a child finally released from her governess.I stepped inside, shutting the door in Sylvester’s face. “It didn’t,” I said flatly, kicking off my shoes.Selene blinked“Was it because of the armor? Did he have a hard time taking it off, or did he think it was ugly and was unaroused, or maybe…” She gasped, her voice dropping a few octaves, “afflicted?”“None of that,” I answered, my tone clipped as I walked towards my bed and sank in.Last night had been nothing short of torture. The moans still echoed in my mind as if they had been drilled into my skull. I hadn't slept with the king, but I might as well have from the way his concubines had screamed his name all night. It had felt too much like a violation.“He said he would not consummate the marriage until I am ready to.”Selene gave a blank stare as if she couldn’t quite make s

Celeste I sank back into my chair, my blood pounding so violently, I swear I could hear it. Heat surged through my veins until my fingers felt tight, swollen and ready to split open. My palms stuck to the polished wood, slick with sweat . The rich smell of roasted meat only made me more nauseous and irritated. I took in a deep breath, an attempt to steady my shaky hands but it only seemed to worsen. This always happened when my emotions were heightened and right now, they were beyond heightened. I could feel them tangling around each other and surging towards my heart making it beat uncontrollably. Edgar seemed oblivious to my plight or at least he didn’t care. He was simply content having me next to him again and I hated it. His calmness after he had just insulted me made me feel even more insulted. I took another deep breath and I could feel my hands start to steady. I didn’t eat. I had lost my appetite the moment those words left his lips. “You are under my rulership.”

CELESTEAs we approached the throne seats prepared specifically for Edgar and me, the announcer announced our entrance.“And here comes the newest couple in the kingdom. King and Alpha of the northern star kingdom and his gorgeous bride, Queen Celeste.”The crowd cheered, clapping and screaming all seemingly in high spirit and happy to see us. I was confused until I realized none of the people on the seats were commoners. They were all nobles, all wearing the finest tunics.Edgar waved proudly at the crowd, his step powerful and echoing even above the noise of the crowd.He seemed to enjoy the attention, which didn’t make a ton of sense to me. But then, a lot of things about Edgar made little too no sense.“Seat,” he gestured as we got to our seats. I sat and he followed suit as if he was some kind of gentleman.The excitement in him was like that of a little boy who had been freed of his governess for the whole week. It looked out of place in a man so tyrannical, so powerful and inti
