"Osric Blackmoor is waiting at the sanctuary threshold to lead you to the altar." Michaels closed his eyes, his inner wolf letting out a final, pathetic whine against his ribs. Outside the double doors, Osric stood tall in his formal warrior furs, his graying beard catching the torchlight as he offered a firm, encouraging nod. "Are you prepared to bind your life to my son, Michaels?" Osric asked, his deep alpha voice echoing off the stone walls. Michaels simply nodded, refusing to let the heavy lie trip over his tongue. Osric stepped forward, pulling the heavy ceremonial wolf-pelt hood over Michaels' head to signify his status as a claimed bride before guiding him down the long stone aisle o

My young mistress's betrothed was dying, and she ordered me to marry him in her place to turn his luck. People believed the joy of a wedding could drive out sickness and misfortune, and that a dying man might be pulled back from the grave by it. "The royal physicians all say Lord Blackwell won't live past seven days! Why should I marry him only to be buried at his side? "He's never even seen me. You can marry him instead. "You're nothing but a lowborn maid. Being allowed to marry the regent is the luck of a lifetime." Before I could react, the glowing words appeared before my eyes again. [Celeste is such an idiot. What does she mean, he won't live past seven days? Lord Blackwell has the

they chimed as they either bowed or curtsied to her. A tall elderly man stepped up to her, hands behind his back. For a moment, she worried that he was the one to be her husband. Her heart hammered in her chest as the man bowed to her. "Miss Dewhurst, I'm Mr. Brown, butler to His Grace the Duke of Snowshill. if you would follow me, the His Grace the Duke of Snowshill is waiting for you in his study."

Only when she's still, do I bring my lips to hers and kiss her again, let her taste us together. Because tonight is our true wedding night. Tonight, is when I claim my bride. My wife. And tonight, I vow that if any man should touch her, hurt her, fucking look at her wrong, I will kill them. I will tear them apart limb from limb with my bare hands. — | — |—

He said before walking out. What the hell is wrong with this dude's brain? What part of I want nothing to do with him doesn't he get. “Why you…!” I held my tongue as my mom, dad and brothers confused and curious faces came into view as the door opened. I will never stop hearing about this for the time I'll be here. I just know it. Someone, anyone, help! My entire family followed the Alpha king towards the living room and everyone began gathering round him. “ As you all have witnessed earlier, Becky Hart is indeed my mate and your future Luna. So I would appreciate it if you all treated her as one." Haunter said, his voice booming with authority.

“The King’s bride is not dead. That is why Rykerr lives. That is why the throne still belongs to him. If we want him to fall, then she must die. And not just her, the child she carries too.” Her words fell like stones. Both men stiffened. Elder Asher swallowed hard. “She… she is with child?” Mecah’s lips curled. “Yes.

If Ayla lives, she will always be queen.” Asher frowned, his pride making him bold. “So, is the King’s bride more powerful than you? You are the greatest witch in Sea Moon, are you not? Why not cast a spell and crush her shield?”

But the next time she saw her reflection, it was in a gilded mirror with a headline scrawled across a digital tablet held out by a woman in black: MAFIA DON TAKES BRIDE: RUMORS OF VALENTINO BLOODLINE CONFIRMED Bride. Her. She’d been asleep for almost two days, and in that time, her face had been attached to a name she’d never claimed—and a bloodline she didn’t know existed. Matteo De Luca, as it turned out, wasn’t just some wealthy recluse. He was Il Re del Sud—the King of the South. Head of the De Luca family. The most feared and untouchable mafia figure on the Sicilian coast. He ruled from the shadows, rarely seen, never touched, his empire built on blood and silence. And now—she was his b

Smiled. “Instead,” he said, stepping back, “I’ve asked someone else to be my bride.” My knees nearly gave way but I stood still, every cell in my body screaming. Out of the crowd, she stepped forward. Clarissa. My sister. Wearing my dress. "Liam," I breathed. "What are you doing?" He didn’t answer me. He extended his hand, to her. “Clarissa, love, come here.” And just like a rehearsed pageantry, she strode down the red carpet, a smile carved on her lips as she walked towards him, confident, calm and cruel.

the King's voice echoed "I am 23." "Are the bride and groom related to each other by blood?" "No… Priest" "Do both the bride and the groom consent freely to enter into marriage?" "yes… Priest" "Now you both can exchange your marital vows." "I accept you as mine, my lovely husband, King Archer, and I promise to be submissive," Pearl mumbled in a cracky voice. Now she had said it with her mouth that she accepts to be submissive. "I accept you as my lovely wife."

Her eyes widened. “We have to get word to Kane somehow,” she said. Not Alpha, I noted. Just Kane. “I’ll tell him in person. Though I doubt she can be moved.” “Michael’s letting you go?” “At some stage. He promised. There’s a catch, though. You have to agree to become his bride first.
