Political Marriage With A Friendly Enemy Novels & Stories

— I ask without looking at it. They were attacked by a group, I think it can be a common enemy, Maximilien proclaimed the pact he had with Alexter by losing a number of men considered unprotected, but you know that economically they are very powerful and we are not exactly in the boom of previous years and we cannot fight blindly it is the best thing for the pack that they come, marriage will be an alliance, because they will rebuild their territory, they will return to it —, he declared solemnly. —

I said adamantly. "Xander, my friend," Marcus said, "You know I stand by your side no matter the path you choose, but have you considered the possibility that this union may bring unforeseen benefits? The alliance between our kingdoms could strengthen our people and secure our future." "I understand the political implications, Marcus, but this is a matter of the heart- my heart. How can I marry someone I have never neither met nor seen? How can I forsake the one who holds my heart captive for another that is nothing more than a stranger?" I said, gritting my teeth in anger.

Veronica asked my mother and then, a knowing evil smirk that I was used to seeing crept her lips as she sipped the glass of wine she had been holding since the beginning of this marriage discussion. "Besides being inlaws with them, it can be called enemies helping each other. Creating a marriage alliance will stop the rumors we created with our hands and then, our businesses will be back to normal" My mother said, with confidence beaming in her eyes. Even if that was all that my mother said at the moment, I knew her plan was beyond that. Becoming inlaws with them meant that she had other greater things to achieve but she wasn't ready to reveal them, at least not in my front.

I faked a smile immediately and walked to where she was standing with a few friends. “This is my daughter in law.” She introduced me to her friends proudly. I let out a faint smile and greeted four of them. I could tell from the look on their faces that they were not good friends, it’s more like enemies pretending to be friends. “Ohh, you’re such a pretty girl and not just beautiful you have a good heart because only a girl with a good heart like yours would agree to get married to a man who just lost his wife.” I was shocked even Tristan’s mother was not expecting such words from a lady she calls her friend.

She turned to her dad's manager in utter disbelief and he also nodded, confirming it "Alright, that's crazy. There's no way it's him and there's no way I'm getting married to him and there's no way he's getting married to me too. He hates our family, our companies are rivalry and. " Laura suddenly stopped when her brain arranged the puzzles together. "Wait. " She suddenly turned to Mathew(her dad's manager) with a big smile plastered on her face. "Christian Asher right? My dad's biggest enemy, we slept together and had babies and now I have to marry him, impossible, even dad himself would be against this" She said with a big smile and Riley nodded as it also occurred to her too.

My patience for my father’s entitlement is at its end. “Honey, we’ve talked with the Midnight Pack about your marriage since you and Angela were children,” my mother protests, stepping up beside my father. “We agreed that if you didn’t find a mate who was an Alpha daughter, you and Angela could marry to unite the two packs.” “We can be allies without merging in marriage,” I growl. “And how could you think that a marriage between us would be a good idea? I know you don’t want to lose your friends, but you should have thought of another way to ally with other packs besides marriage.”

If you marry her off, that will stop the war from coming. A union between the two packs. That might be possible. The conflict between the two packs had already stretched far longer than intended. My people had already suffered and the same went with the other pack. I need to do something to stop it. But marrying the daughter? Could I marry someone who was not even my mate? ‘Does that woman have a mate?’

The gentleness of the man's voice in Rose's ear made her body tremble even more. "I want to go out." "Where are you going?" "I … I'm going back to the apartment, Kenzie must be waiting for me." "Don't worry, Kenzie has been with Jasmine and he looks happy, you remember that, don't you?" Robert's words made Rose lose her reason. Kenzie clearly looks very happy with this marriage. Rose is now not Aunt but Mommy to the boy. "Have you forgotten, Dear, that today is our first night as husband and wife?" whispered Robert softly.

I wouldn't lie and deny my attraction to this man but I was ready to be sensible enough. It took one last glance from him and I nodded. ******* I was very tired with the way she was answering in monosyllables ever since the beginning of the mating process. We had not fully consummated the marriage, making it very hard for everyone to come to terms with the fact that we were one. If I was being honest with myself the moment to my enemies came around they would figure out that something was wrong and then try to use it against me and that would be a complete disaster no matter what I do.
