Tangle H
On our wedding night, Alpha Derek Blackwood's private plane went down.
To comfort me, my mother-in-law, Hester Blackwood, sent his illegitimate younger brother, Kane Blackwood, into my bedroom.
She said he could ease the loneliness now that my mate was dead.
I panicked.
A werewolf only ever has one mate, and as the Alpha King's sister, I had always been fiercely protective of my chastity.
But the moment I opened my mouth to refuse, lines of text appeared in the air in front of me.
[The hero was so terrified of marrying the side character that he faked his death overnight, then dumped some unwanted bastard on her? That's brutal!]
[Stop crying, side character. Your husband is off drowning himself in the Luna Queen's bed!]
[Tsk, tsk. A royal insider hooking up with the Luna Queen? Who's living for this? Me!]
[If the side character quietly accepts the bastard, she survives. Too bad she's so loyal. She refuses to stop searching for the hero's body, which actually moves him a little. The Luna Queen hates her for it. The moment the Alpha King dies, the Luna Queen has her imprisoned for life and force-fed slow-acting silver poison every day.]
What?
Terrified, I hurried to smooth out the velvet sheets, change into a silk nightgown, and put on perfume.
"Well, handsome, what are you waiting for? Come here!"
Then why did that supposedly dead Alpha come crawling back only days after word of Kane and me got out?
