Novel & Cerita My Betrothal Partner And The Secrets We Share

I could sense how eager he was to get me betrothed to Kurt. I felt the burden in my heart, on my side I carry secrets, one that might ruin my entire life and worst everything that my father had worked so hard for all his life. The reason I am forced to be with someone I never even liked in the first place and on the other hand, the letter I had received in such a manner about my soon-to-be mate worsened the whole thing. How can two people bearing secrets ever going to form a good relationship enough to keep our communities together and lead as a criterion?

I guessed having no shame came with the job. “There’s no secret, no perfect formula, and definitely no easy path,” I began, trying to organize my thoughts before answering. “The first thing is finding a partner who truly believes in you, whether you’re an Alpha, an Omega, or a Beta.” I brushed my finger over the back of Lorenzo’s hand while he watched me with that burning look at my side.

Our eyes met from across the room, and everything just got more vivid, colors exploding all around me. She was the Beta’s daughter, betrothed to the Alpha who was ten years older than both of us. He still had not found his mate, so the elders had elected the Beta’s daughter to be his chosen upon her eighteenth birthday. It was an extreme measure that many did not agree with in the pack, since it would prevent her from finding her true mate, but for some reason, it was still being carried out and the betrothal was in place. When we discovered our fated bond, we kept it a secret at first. She told me it was safer for me, and like an idiot, I agreed.

These few days I spent with her, knowing her closely, sharing fun moments with her and living the true jest of life, it's beyond my description. Last night, we crossed the last and most unpredictable barrier between us. We consumated our marriage. She willingly gave herself to me like I am her diety and she's ready to serve me with all the love and passion she has. Her soft moans and trembling body when I worshipped her innocent beauty, they keep playing in my mind and I'm desperate to do it again and again with her. She has managed to crack the wall I built around me protecting my heartbreak and betrayal.

I said, putting emphasis on the word ‘alone’ as I suspected she was about to ask that we both walk together. “I had wanted to show you something.” “And what is that?” “You would like it.” “I don’t think I will; maybe someone other time,” I offered, but of course, I was never planning on going anywhere with her. She leaned closer, so her lips were close to my ears. “I guess you’ve been curious to know more about your mate; this is a little secret I want to reveal to you; I promise you it would interest you,” she says. A secret about Thane, something she knew and I didn’t; of course it would interest me.

When the kid finally reached us, we took our rings and Duke was the first one to speak a vow that I knew was meant to be broken. “Do you take Beverly Brook as your lawfully wedded wife?” “I do, father.” Duke answered, his eyes retained on mine. “As for you, Miss Brook, do you take Duke Howard as your lawfully wedded husband?” It was my turn. I gazed emptily at Duke’s lively orbs. I knew what I had to do, I already practiced everything so this must be easy now. Deep within my heart, something’s holding me back from saying those three letters and that was his face—the handsome face of a man who’s been occupying the whole space in my heart despite him not being here to witness me marry someone

With me. Because Sebastian….he’s already mine. Not in the loud, flashy way. Not with public declarations or grand gestures. But in the quiet moments. The stolen glances. The late-night texts. The gifts he gave to me and the way his eyes soften when they find mine. No matter how hard she tries, no matter how sharp her words, Mena can’t change that. So, she can glare all she wants. She can throw her snide comments and roll her eyes till they fall out of her head. But the truth stands unshaken:

As soon as her son’s excited chatter faded into background noise, old worries crashed in—Ava, still unconscious in that hospital bed; Marcus falling apart; and the woman tangled up at the center of it all, living with the ugliest secret Selena had ever uncovered. Elara Quinn. Up until now, just a name buried deep in restricted files. Keller nudged her on the way to the rental car. “You alright? What do you think?” “I know coming was right, but honestly, it feels like there are stacks of secrets waiting to explode,” Selena said, tired. “If it made sense, we wouldn’t realize how deep it goes.” Keller gave her a look—part concern, part exhaustion. He got it. Selena always let her fears simmer,

“You have no business referring to the people in my life so intimately. You and I are nothing to each other now but potential allies.” “I suspect more strongly than ever we share a child.” I let my fury show through my eyes. “Are you really so eager to execute my child?” He shakes his head, and I can tell I’ve confused him. Good. “I want truth between us,” he says. “That would be a change. A first, even.” “What is that supposed to mean?” “It means you’re betrothed to Camila, who will be your pack’s Luna and deserves your full faith and loyalty, neither of which you ever gave to me. It means your fated mate awaits you and you should stop forcing your company on someone who almost died getting
