All Chapters of Alpha Tarian and The Crazy Bride Of May Town: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Tarian POVI shut the door of my chamber, the ticking clock echoing in the silence of the room. I stood still for a moment, letting my eyes sweep aound.This used to be Moriah’s. It was her safe space. Our safe space.“This wedding should not have happened,” I muttered to the empty air, my voice heavy with a mix of grief and irritation.I walked over to the king-sized bed, sat on the edge, and pulled open the top drawer of the nightstand. Reaching inside, my fingers found the silver frame I kept hidden beneath a stack of documents. I pulled it out, staring down at the photograph of Moriah and me. She was laughing, her chin tilted up, her eyes bright with that fierce, unyielding light that had captivated me from the very first moment we met.Instantly, my mother’s voice echoed in my head, sharp and disapproving, repeating the same vile words she had spewed five years ago:“After everything your father and I did for you, Tarian, you went ahead and married a foreigner! A so-called femini

Livia POVI walked into Alpha Tarian’s bedroom, and the sheer temperature of the room immediately made my teeth chatter. Good gracious! The air was frigid. I wasn’t even near the threshold as I was feeling this much cold, genuinely afraid I might freeze to death right where I stood.My sister, Livyana, liked to sleep in warm, cozy environments, bundled up in layers of blankets. If she were the one standing here, she would have to endure not only the chill of this room, but also the even colder reception of her goddess-forsaken husband.I began to mop around the spacious suite, my eyes drawn to a larger-than-life, human-sized framed portrait hanging prominently on the far wall. Tarian sat in full Alpha regalia, looking impossibly regal, powerful, and imposing. I stared at the canvas, folding my arms tightly across my chest to keep myself from shivering. I came to a very quick, definitive conclusion: this man had to be completely cold-blooded to sleep in such a freezing environment.Now

Livia POVWait, is this a joke?! Why on earth is his dick out?!Take it from me—Alpha Tarian has gone completely, utterly mad, and his insanity clearly peaks at different hours of the day!He stepped closer, his eyes burning with unholy desires as he gestured to his front. "Why are you acting so surprised? Just a few minutes ago you acted like you wanted me—calling me your darling husband, remember? Now, would it really be a bad idea if you give your darling husband some of that sugar? Spread your legs and do not make me wait."This man is indeed mad! Moon goddess save your daughter. I should not have joked or called him darling or any terms of endearment.Now I will have to be dragging my underwear with this man in a couple of seconds if you don’t intervene, dear moon goddess!"I am sorry, but where am I spreading my legs to?" I chided him, my voice trembling slightly as I desperately tried to cling to the naive Livyana script. "There is more than enough space on the bed for both of

Livia POVThis man is rude!I had officially had enough. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that my presence in his room was no longer needed, and frankly, my body was screaming for sleep. So, I dramatically bowed my head, turned on my heel, and led myself out of his room. I didn't want a situation that would trigger another episode like last night. Truth be told, I was still a bit shaken by the whole thing. What if Alpha Tarian had actually died in my arms? He was so large, so impossibly strong, yet surprisingly fragile under the right circumstances. I needed to be extremely careful around here.The very first thing I did when I finally reached the safety of my own room was tear off that hideous burgundy nightie. I locked the doors behind me—determined to suffer zero interruptions—and was just about to crash into the plush king-sized bed when my phone chimed on the stand.I froze, easing off a long groan before picking it up to read Livyana’s message:“Liv, I am so sorry for be

Livia POVI was making my way back to the main house, my head still throbbing from the morning's kitchen drama, when I heard the Queen Mother’s rich, sing-song voice behind me."Is that my beautiful daughter-in-law?"I instantly fixed my face with a polite smile, swallowing the mountain of complaints resting on the tip of my tongue. More questions pricked my mind as minutes went by, but I forced my expression to remain serene."Come... come," Queen Mother Raychel said warmly as she approached, taking my hand and leading me into the living room. She gestured for us to sit on the sofa. "So, how was your night, my dear? I hope you slept well."I recalled the utter madness from last night and fought the desperate urge to roll my eyes."It was fine," I purred softly, folding my hands in my lap. "I slept like a married woman."Maybe lying was another thing I was naturally gifted at, considering how quickly my response lit up the Queen Mother's face."So... I presume sleeping like a married w
