Autumn The Matchmaker Novels & Stories

“That's because you haven't found someone that makes your heart thump harder, someone that makes you feel butterflies in your stomach.” “Yuck, you are such a girl.” Jules twisted his mouth as he stared at his brother. “Janice!” Jules watched as Maggie and the named girl hugged each other enthusiastically. It was obvious they were more than acquaintances. “I thought you weren't interested in coming!” Maggie hollered, even as they were close to each other. “Please.” Janice did an eye roll and continued. “Why would I miss a wedding I matched?” So, she was a matchmaker. Jules made an interesting observation as his eyes drank in her feature.

He looked at me. "I met someone last night. I know how that sounds. I know it sounds insane. His name is Caden Ashford and I met him outside that house last night and we talked for a long time and he is a good man, I believe that, and he has asked me to marry him." Walter stared at me. "I know. I know Walter. But I need you to hear me when I say that this is not a disaster. It is strange and it happened fast and there is a lot I still have to figure out but I am not lost. I am not broken. I am making a choice."

The chains clanked loudly as I struggled against them, my wrists raw and bleeding. The damp, stale air of the underground cell seeped into my lungs, suffocating me. I curled my trembling body into a corner, desperately trying to find solace in the darkness. My name is Sasha Springfield, a 21-year-old weak werewolf. It seemed fate had a cruel sense of humor, for I had yet to meet my mate. In a world where finding your destined partner was the ultimate goal, I felt like an outcast, an anomaly.

Face impassive, I replied, "Go ahead. After all, someone spent considerable effort making it." I had barely finished speaking when Melissa Barker's eyes reddened. "Marissa, I truly didn't mean for this to happen! I worked overtime till 11 last night to place an order for this banner, so I must have accidentally sent them the wrong thing since it was so late. I'm genuinely sorry!" Before I could say anything, my boyfriend, Liam Yarrow, was already frowning. "Marissa, it's just a name. There's no need to make things difficult for Mel. Just pretend that it's your name on there and stop kicking up a fuss."

Sebastian asked. “It does look better,” Bernadette confirmed. “I want another run through of the script from the top with all the actions. I’ll review the footage after.” Edward sighed internally and stepped out of the frame of the camera so Sebastian could start his lines. He had to walk into frame when Sebastian got to that part where he was introduced as his marriage match. The hard part was making his random appearance look natural and not highly scripted. “This marriage match is different to the others that have come before it,” Sebastian said and Edward knew it was nearly time to step into frame. “My match is male. Whilst this is unconventional and unexpected, the marriage will be goin

Peggy Winters was outgoing, smart, and a social butterfly, while Aunt Rose, her sister-in-law, was quiet, kept to herself, and had married but couldn't have children. Everyone who knew Autumn’s mother said Autumn was just like her, friendly with a cheerful personality, and all of Aunt Rose's patients loved Autumn. Autumn took their minds off their worries by dancing and singing in the house, making everyone laugh and feel happy despite their pain. Autumn loved dancing and having fun; one day, she had hoped to dress up in fancy clothes and go dancing in the city of Terra. But now that Calvin is gone, it will never be a reality. Life in Madhfel often felt lonelier, with only the wind and sky a

Karter demanded, her voice cold as ice. Autumn's heart stopped. "Is what true?" "Don't play games with me, child. Is it true that you've found your mate? That you've been sneaking around with that bastard?" The book slipped from Autumn's hands. "Mother, I--" "Answer me!" "Yes," Autumn whispered. "Korran is my mate." Karter's hand moved so fast Autumn barely saw it coming. The slap echoed through the room, and Autumn's head snapped to the side, her cheek burning.

Another Autumn. "Oh hello, miss, it's so nice to meet you again. Are you going to marry Uncle Aaron? I want you to marry him because he is so lonely and so good-looking. I like you because you are Aunty Autumn's sister and you are so pretty and nice and sweet and Aunty Autumn loves my brand of food and teaches me cool new recipes! One time I tried to make my other uncle, Jaxon, eat it but he called me a devil and the other one Blake tried to sell me after he ate it and almost died. I didn't do anything wrong—"

There was a knock on the door which interrupted Autumn's long rest. She woke up feeling awful and glanced at her time. It seemed blurry at first but then she realized she wasn't seeing things and jumped up, "oh my, its nine in the morning, am terribly late." She told herself as she rushed to get ready. She hurried up in her pajamas and didn't bother to brush her teeth, as soon as she opened the door she met her maid who was about to knock on the door with a sad face, everyone had a sad face. Autumn didn't like that look at all, she's seen it several times and know better than expecting a random news. "What's wrong?" She asked.

“Well you might have left the race but I’ll still maintain my stance. I don’t believe in love and I never will. Let alone partake in this sham called marriage.” She hit my shoulder playfully. “I saw the way you looked at Autumn—“ “Nope! Don’t try to play that cliche card. There’s nothing happening between Autumn and I. Hell, she’s the most rebellious, annoying woman I’ve ever known.” “She’s worse than me?” “Yes!” She burst into laughter. “That’s the kind of woman a jerk like you deserve.” I rolled my eyes before taking another gulp.
