Predatory Marriage Novel Updates Novels & Stories

"She's just one person, and she means no one any harm. If you were a kind wife..." My mind fades out a little as my husband rambles on about why I should let this random woman stay with us. Killian and I have been happily married for three years. While we aren’t fated mates, we've claimed each other, and fully bonded in every secular sense. We've built the pack into what it is today. I love him, and he loves me, and I always believe nothing could ever come between us. But then May appears, and suddenly, I start to wonder how things will play out.

She was way too happy for the upcoming wedding between Evan and me. “I said he acted like a villain in a romance novel,” I corrected with a playful smirk. “There's a difference.” Maria held up a sleek off-shoulder gown against my body and narrowed her eyes, assessing. “Hmm. And now you’re about to marry the villain. Plot twist.” I raised a brow. “Are you calling my life a N*****x series now?” “Oh honey, we’re in season three at least,” she teased, placing the gown aside and grabbing a new one. “The divorced heiress, the mysterious adoption, the family secret, and now...the bridal arc. We’re just missing a secret baby or a twin sister.”

"I am just trying to…" Jessie interrupted and shook her head. "No. Marco, you shouldn't do this. The moment you left me at the restaurant without turning around, our story came to an end." She was furious. Really enraged, but has their tale really come to an end? There was a spark Jessie felt the minute she saw Marco when he saved her. It was the feeling she had when they were still together. "You made it happen, Jessie. If you had listened to me, I…" "No. Stop." Once more, she cut him off and laughed. "Can we not get into this, Marco? Marco, I'm content with my new life. I am a married woman who is expecting. I don't think it's appropriate that I'm having coffee with a former partner."

James asked. "Because if you don't, I'll proceed to kill Hannah." I said driving the head of the gun harder to Hannah's head. "You see, we recently got married and when she stated her vows Hannah's mentioned that her loyalty to me comes second to the Mendovas and I'm not really happy about that." The more I spoke the more the Mendovas look horrified. "You both got married ?" James asked. "Yes, we're just coming back from court." I said.

"You will be in it for the money. See him as a bank and the money he'd give you as a loan. He needs you for his own personal reasons and you need him. You're both using each other Lila, nothing is wrong with that." Lila shook her head at that. "Everything is wrong with it Ema." She said as he sat down on the couch. "I have dreamt of my marriage since I was a little girl. My husband would be madly in love with me and he'd be willing to worship the floor I walked on. And my children? I dreamt of having a lot of them. And some pets, a few dogs and a cat that would be the Queen of our house. A contract marriage is the complete opposite of that dream. Ema, I just can't."

I felt tired; my temples began to throb again. "I slept with Howard." The wine glass in his hand shattered on the floor. His eyes turned crimson, disbelief etched across his face. "Teagan! How could you…" I calmly closed my laptop and smiled at him. "What? Are you upset?" I genuinely hoped we could just have a marriage of convenience, where we could both enjoy the benefits this arrangement brought. He could sleep with a different woman every night, and I wouldn't care. Meanwhile, I would leverage the Brookes' connections to gain more resources for myself.

I pulled it down and opened it carefully, half expecting it to fall apart in my hands. The first page was dated four years ago. Our wedding day. *Today I married Matthew Morrison,* she'd written down in that familiar writing of hers'. *I'm not sure he loves me. I'm not sure he even likes me very much. But he needs a Luna, and I need protection, and maybe that's enough of a foundation to build something real.* My throat tightened as I continued reading.

If marrying a ruthless man meant keeping her alive… Then I would do it. I would endure the cold, the distance, and the loveless contract. I set the phone down and exhaled slowly. Then, against my will, Ethan's face surfaced in my mind, his steady gaze, his controlled presence, the sharp edge of confidence he wore like armor. I clenched my fists. I hated that I had noticed. Hated even more that I found him… a little attractive. That was dangerous. And I had a feeling this marriage was going to cost me far more than I was prepared to lose.

I asked, pushing the blanket off me. “You heard me, Elara. I have thought about it a lot and I've decided that I now want an open marriage.” He said like he was making an announcement and I stared at him in confusion. “We've been married for just six months, Rowan. I… I've given you everything I've ever had. I've done nothing but love you and be a good wife to you. Why would you suddenly want an open marriage? Does it even make sense? We're mates. What kind of mate wants a fucking open marriage? You know what cheating does to your partner’s wolf.” I asked in despair, and he simply leaned against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest.

He was taken by me, and I am his wife. @DEATH WISH Thank you for supporting my Novel! You may also read my complete and ongoing novel. (Hmmm... While waiting for an update.)
