Don't yield. ‎ ‎But I couldn't let her die. Not after we had just started to trust each other. ‎ ‎"I understand," I whispered. ‎ ‎"Good." Magnus signaled the guards. "Open the doors." ‎ ‎The massive oak doors of the Chapel groaned open. ‎ ‎The sound of the organ washed over us a thunderous, gothic melody that vibrated in my chest. The sanctuary was packed. Hundreds of wolves from the Bloodmoon and Iron-Claw packs filled the pews. They turned as one to watch the bride.

He held me with red eyes and said, "The person I care about most is you. Vivian has no family behind her, and she has trauma. I just pity her. I'm helping her." I believed him. Looking back, I was an idiot. Friendship was their cleanest cover. Protection was the prettiest excuse for betrayal. At ten, my father's underboss knocked. "Miss Rossi, the Council wants every heir at the old chapel to confirm their trial seals. Last step before the list locks." I changed into black and went. Countless alliances had been sworn there under stained glass saints, roses, and guns. Beside the DeLuca seat was an empty chair. It had always been mine.

“Are you scared of losing your place as the heir? Does the sudden appearance of my daughter threaten the empire I’ve given you and your brothers because you boys are adopted?” I fought the urge to glare at him, keeping my expression stone-cold. “That’s not—” “You can relax, Kaveh. You boys, are my sons. I love you all deeply and nothing will change that.” His assurance felt good to hear but that wasn’t why I was worried. “Father, I doubt you fully understand the hell you’ve created by dropping this on her without preparation. This isn’t some simple family reunion. We’re a powerful family, she’s missing years from her memory. It’s destruction if not handled correctly.”

she asked. “No happy family nonsense?” I smiled. “I assure you, I have no desire to play happy families. I simply want an heir.” “An heir?” she said. “Are you royalty or something?” I ignored that too. “So,” I asked, “do we have a deal?” I sweetened the offer. Private housing. A car. Total privacy. She smiled. “Fine. Add it to the contract.” Then she asked, “Where are you from anyway?” “Upstate,” I said. “A place called Fell Village.”

With a sharp huff, Cain turned and walked away, the crowd parting for him as he passed. Behind him, Vera lifted her glass. Orion met it with his own. They clinked them together, identical smirks stretching across their lips. And for the first time that night, Vera felt it fully— This was only the beginning. —— “Your dress is stealing the show, Ms. Vera,” Maya whispered beside her as they stood watching Didi and Cain stroll slowly down the aisle. The press were everywhere. Cameras flashed like lightning. Phones were raised high, people stretching on their toes just to get a better view of the bride and her gown. Vera overheard a group of women behind her murmuring breathlessly that they would

The young woman filled with indignation at the sight of Esther lying on the floor, her hair and face wet, not from the tears running down her cheeks, but from the water someone had deliberately poured on her. "Do you really think your lady will come to help you?" mocked the woman Selene recognized as the same one who had objected the first time, she couldn't remember her name, but she would make sure she never forgot hers for the rest of her life. "She is the King's fiancée," whispered Esther, trembling from the cold, as the water soaked through her clothes and chilled her body. "It's likely that His Majesty won't even survive!" the woman shouted disdainfully. "She will be nothing more than

After escorting the bride, she took her seat beside the foreign dignitaries at the front of the seats. "I used to hate weddings but now, I'm thinking they might not be so bad," Duchess Everon commented as the couple exchanged vows. "Did you like working with my brother's assistant?" "The Count? He's an observant fellow. He's also very efficient, a trait that is admirable in a loyal Steward but not a husband." "Your standards are just as high, or perhaps higher than my brother's." "I have to say, I love your disguise, Lady Natalia. It's making me excited," Lady Lorelei commented, seated on Natalia's left side.

Sultan POV My world was turned upside down just in a night. Marrying her was just a step towards my dream. She was something like a step of stairs that I formed for my success. The vows that I took in the marriage was something baseless and more like a drama to me. When I filled vermilion in the partition of her hairs, I didn't know what I was doing.
