Romance Between Regents Novels & Stories

What I'd said actually got under Orlando's skin. He slammed a hand against the door, about to say something, when footsteps sounded down the hall. I peeked out. It was Romina, carrying a plate of pastries. She saw me and Orlando alone together, and her eyes went red on cue. "Sister... do you blame me for taking your engagement away..." Fat tears splashed onto the floor. "The marriage between the Hales and the Bennetts was always meant for you, the real daughter..."

Cristina piped in as Nicole's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "That man is incapable of loving, sweetheart," Clemente placed a hand on her shoulder as she looked at his hand with a raised eyebrow. "I mean, that was hilarious, and a nice try. But it's a known fact that Salvatore Regnante is incapable of either loving someone or marrying anyone," Just as she was going to retort, the three seemed to find someone else they recognized and walked away, leaving her to stand there stunned and confused for a moment before resuming on looking for someone she knew.

Vanora, holding onto Ryan's arm, walked down, appearing delighted as she stood in front of Reginald. Ryan's face remained stern; his dark eyes fixed on Reginald without saying a word. This time, Reginald finally lifted his thin lips, his magnetic voice dripping with sarcasm. "A second marriage, and it's worth all this trouble." A deathly silence fell over the entire venue. Vanora's face turned extremely pale and unsightly. "You—" Ryan was about to erupt when Vanora tightly clung to his arm, looking at him almost pleadingly, urging him not to expose their conflict with Reginald in front of so many people.

“I would love to, but it’s impossible to find anyone as beautiful, gentle, understanding, and tolerant as you, Mother. No one else catches my eye. So, I’ll just have to keep looking,” Reginald said, his tone playful. Yet, as soon as the thought of marriage came up, a fleeting image of Miranda’s charming and ever-changing expressions flashed through his mind.

I added. Marianne's eyes met mine as she chimed in. "Oh, Regan, you must have some advice for keeping the romance alive. You two always seem so... coordinated." I swallowed hard, my mouth dry. I know my stepmother has an idea of how’s my marriage so I didn’t understand why she was not using that information against me right at the moment. "We just focus on the little things," Regan said smoothly, "Simple gestures can make a big difference."

They both had participated in a play in college and they were enacting it out for Vera especially. The story was about a Luna who was rejected by her Alpha mate and cheated too. Poor Luna was heartbroken and left his pack without a second glance at him. Later on she met a handsome Alpha who happened to be her second chance mate. The surprising element of the story was that the Luna was a secret heiress of an Alpha King. 'Verena, doesn't that sound just like our story? It's like they're retelling our story differently to us.' Verity exclaimed as the play was still on going.

Back then, Bridget and Reginald had shared a relationship that was impossible to clearly define. At that time, she was already engaged to marry Luna's father. It was precisely then that Reginald arrived in Gabo Creek and met her. Back then, Reginald had a flirtatious nature and teased any beauty he encountered. Bridget, on the other hand, had been calm, reserved, and proper, almost the perfect aristocratic lady. Reginald was instantly dazzled by her, and Bridget was no exception. She was equally captivated by him. Nonetheless, since she was about to marry, she suppressed the flutter in her heart. However, he would not give up and relentlessly pursued her.

"I’m going to have him sign this, then I leave, and start a life where I’m not a second choice to anyone." Axel sighed, his fingers drumming against the table. "It won’t be that simple, Risa. Your marriage wasn't just a union of two people, it was both packs that got glued together through this union. There are territories, trade routes, and treaties tied to your status as Luna."

Rian flirted endlessly, irrespective of Regita's unpleasant facial expressions that are laid on him. Sad and angry. Two things currently describing Regita's feelings. After two years of marriage to Rian, why was the man's true nature revealed now? There's a sense of regret in her heart for allowing Aira to marry a scoundrel like Rian. In addition, she may regret ever having thought of Rian as the man she wanted to be. "Yuck." Regita spit in Rian's face and then walked away from the man. Rian wiped it on forehead of his face with a faint smile. "I wonder if yor sister knew what her younger sister was like."

I hiss back. "Ah... yes..." Wringing his hands, the monk waits. Breathing heavily, Mitch relaxes again. "Does any person here know of any reason these two people may not be joined in lawful matrimony?" Reginald looks around the theatre, his face hopeful... "Speak now..." You could hear a pin drop. "Right..." He fills his lungs, turning to Mitch. "Do you... er...???" "Michelle Kimberley..." "The ring..." hisses Richard. "You should be giving him the ring."
