Betrothed Novels & Stories

All what the priest preached about barely made it into my ears as I was worked up to the extent that the thumping of my loud heartbeats was echoing loudly in my ears, leaving a continuous ringing sound behind. The ring bearer, who was a cute little girl in a blue dress which I’ve never seen before, brought forth the rings and I picked up the bigger one and slipped the ring on Luca’s ring finger while repeating the traditional vows along with the priest. Luca did the same, his large palms almost swallowing my left finger completely as he slipped the ring on my fourth finger- and then the priest declared us man and wife, without asking the crowd if there was anybody that would like to object t

I changed my mind when it comes to Tessa. "I understand where you are coming from, I know you are trying to protect me from heartbreaks". "It is not only that, you know our society doesn't accept that which you all fully aware of". He said slapping my head playfully, my face turned sour, I slumped on the chair again. There is a society we are in called Bridge Awe. It is a society where we support each other as friends, and also play dangerous games. Which Richard is the leader, I am the second in command and Rollins is the third on command.

I tried to sound brαve‚ but my voice wαvered αnywαy. His eyes dαrkened, his grip on me tightening. “Whαt we hαve‚ Annα‚ isn’t nαmeless. I believe we αre in α relαtionship.” I let out α bitter little lαugh‚ though it hurt even αs it cαme out. “This is reαlity‚ Ryαn. Wαke up. You hαve α betrothed. Whαtever we hαve cαn’t be α relαtionship. And… αs much αs it hurts‚ I guess I’m glαd I found out now‚ before I let myself fαll even deeper. At leαst this wαy‚ it’ll be eαsier to detαch.”

I just couldn't even move my legs from the scene. “Oh.” Her voice was breathy, like I’d interrupted her in the middle of a yoga session. “What are you doing here Elara?” Tristan finally turned. He flinched a bit but not from guilt. It looked like he was disappointed I had caught them a little too soon. He gave just a slow, careless shrug. “Guess the secret’s out.” I stood there in my wedding gown with every part of me splintering inside, while my two favorite people destroyed the world I’d built without a single care in the world.

“Would you not invite us inside? We need to speak.” No way. “Regrettably, I am not in a hosting mood tonight, but you may speak the reason for visit.” “My betrothed, Baevera Eldareth, has been missing for almost a month. No one has been able to find her.” My expression remained perfectly neutral, though I raised an internal eyebrow. Betrothed? To the evil she-demon herself? I bit the inside of my cheek to keep the surprised laughter at bay. Poor male. “I am sorry to hear that,” I replied evenly. “I have seen the missing notices and pamphlets. What happened was unfortunate—”

And attached… A photo of her. As a newborn. But there was something else. A second file. Slipped beneath. Project T-1: Control Subject Tristan. His file said: “Twin protector protocol. Genetic synchrony achieved. Bond unbreakable. Potential fail-safe.” She staggered back. They weren’t just connected by circumstance. They were designed that way. --- A knock. She drew her weapon—but it was Cara. Clutching something in her hand. A pendant.

I blurted before I could stop myself. He squinted, as if trying to process what he just heard. "What the hell does that even mean?" He asked, looking utterly confused. "What I mean is, the princess, Rosetta, told me you two were engaged. Betrothed, to be precise. But no difference, right?" I added, sarcasm dripping off every word. "What?!" He exclaimed, disbelief crossing his features. "Betrothed?! Rosetta and I? She said that?" He asked, scoffing in amusement.

Luca asked, his voice gentle. The viewer could see that Isabella kept her gaze on Vincent and Zyne throughout her response. She responded with emotion in her voice that “i...yes i did.” Luca stared at her directly as his face became sombre. Bella should trust the love she shares with Vincent because that's what he told her with absolute certainty. “The bond between you and Vincent has survived many challenges so trust your love. Trust in love because doubts should not control your emotions.”

“Let me spell it out for you in case you’re not aware: Alpha Nath is betrothed. To Princess Amer. That’s Alpha Shawn’s wish.” “They’re getting married soon, and the union will be a blessing to our pack and their union will only be a blessing to our pack. They’ve been in love for a long time now.” Although I heard his father persuading him to marry her only a few moments earlier, so I knew her last statement wasn't entirely true, they were never in love but what difference does it make anyways since he's still going to marry her. My heart sank, the words hitting me like punches to my stomach. Betrothed? Married? Of course, I knew

* Struggling with the thought of what I was contributing to, I wandered back to the stove and moved the bacon around, preparing to pour my pancake batter. *If I had my way, we’d be together right now. We wouldn’t have to hide our love.* Sighing, I began typing. *You say you love me, yet I don’t know your name. I can’t place your face while I think of you. Who are you?* *Your betrothed.* Even through text, I could feel the slight bite in those words. I was pressing, and they weren’t ready to give up their identity. Betrothed. The very word made my gut ache. I didn’t get it. I didn’t understand what they were talking about.
