Novel & Cerita Bride Of Blood

Thick black blood, poisoned with silver, spilled out. "I see it," he muttered, concentrating. My stomach turned at the smell of burnt flesh and blood, but I held onto Zephyr's hand. "Hold on, Alpha," Garrett said faintly, twisting the knife in the wound. "Almost… there…" The veins in Zephyr's neck stood out as his teeth dug deeper into the belt, ripping it apart. His green eyes changed to red, his claws starting to grow out, scratching me in the process, but I didn't mind.

Blood dripped from his heels and ankles. Madre de Dios. She couldn’t look. She couldn’t look away. As she entered the room, she saw more weights across the man’s hips and holding down his arms. A black cloth covered his face. He moaned in agony. His every movement, his every breath, dug the dagger points deeper into his skin. She was devastated for him, even as relief that it wasn’t Ramos flooded through her. “What?” asked Herrera. “Do you not recognize your own brother, my bride?”

“Which is exactly why this is happening.” That made Elara pause. "What? How? Why?" Felix continued, his tone maddeningly calm, almost reverent. “You can say that... He’s proud.” The word landed wrong. Elara blinked. “Proud of what?” Lisa leaned forward, her eyes glittering, and her voice dropping conspiratorially like she was sharing the punchline to a private joke. “That he stole someone’s bride on her wedding day.” Felix nodded, entirely serious now. “Stole her! Married her!! Lives with her now!!!”

He towered over us, eyes glowing, teeth bared, every line of his body promising violence. I‑I’m sorry, Your Majesties,” the Scion stammered, his voice cracking as he stumbled backward. “I didn’t know she’s yours.” The words barely registered before Brammon’s horns emerged. His hand shot out, closing around the Scion’s throat before he could retreat. The man choked, his feet lifting off the ground as Brammon’s grip tightened. Then Brammon threw him straight to Fenric. Everything after that happened too quickly to follow. A deeper, harsher growl tore through the air. Fenric moved with brutal speed. There was a flash of teeth, a violent impact, the wet sound of force meeting flesh, and then som

We turn to face each other as the elder grabs a bowl and a small sacral knife from a table that’s off to the side, walking towards us he grabs Creed's hand. “King Creed Forester, is here to ascend his mate, Lily black, to his side as Queen. With the blessings of the gods I am here today to unite these two souls together for good,” he grabs Creed's hand and takes the knife to it, drawing blood. His blood pools in the bowl until his wound heals.

My voice was thin, nothing like Bianca’s bold, confident tone. I felt Alessandro’s grip tighten on my hand. He didn't move, but I felt his energy change. It was like a predator sensing a shift in the wind. We exchanged rings. The gold band felt like a shackle. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." This was it. The moment the lie would break. My father held his breath. I closed my eyes, praying for a quick death. Alessandro reached out. His large hands gripped the edges of my veil. Slowly, he lifted it. The cool air hit my face, and I was forced to look at him.

I understood that every poison had an antivenom. ​"Liam, give me your hand!" I crawled toward him, my fingers digging into the dirt. ​"Elena... run..." ​"Shut up and take my hand!" ​I grabbed his wrist, locking our fingers together. I closed my eyes and didn't reach for my wolf. I reached for the blood. ​The blood of the True Bride. The blood of the King. ​"The Moon doesn't sleep!" I screamed, the words ripping from my throat. "She only waits!"

For blood binds stronger than words, making this marriage unbreakable.” I watched as Jeremiah picked the dagger and without breaking eye contact cut a deep gash on his palm. My eyes widened as blood pooled in his palm. I stood there, breathing hard, as he held the dagger out to me. I couldn’t move, the sight of his blood did something to me even when he seemed unfazed.

My mother's eyes instantly welled up. "Catherine, what the hell are you saying? I won't allow it!" Her voice cracked with tears. "That Astor heir has been completely unhinged ever since his accident. No one even knows how many caregivers he's tortured to death. "And word is he doesn't have much longer to live. If you marry into that family, you'll basically be a widow before your husband's even dead! How could I ever let you suffer like that? Don't be impulsive. Don't throw your life away for us."

“Revenge.” “What?” “It's simple, Steph. Your life was almost ruined because of your fiancé and his secretary. Don't you want revenge on them?” He asked, his voice holding a mischievous edge and I shuddered “I do. But—” “Disappeare for two years, Stephanie. Your death certificate will be signed.
