Shipped Couples Novels & Stories

“We’re married now. So, of course, we live together.” The memories came back in a rush: the courthouse, the kiss, the signatures. My body went cold. What have I done? The trap was closing, but who was it closing around, me or Gordon?

Betrayal, heartbreak, disappointment, disgust, were all feelings Alice thought she had homed when it came to her now broken relationship, it was strange, the anger, the hate, the ache, she had come to the club with a sixty percent expectancy to witness his betrayal, but it still hurt, and even worse, that Taria had to shove it in her face. She no longer felt the urge to follow through with her plan, he wasn't worth it, not anymore.

"One, your whole sentence is invalid because I already know shifter's can have real romantic relationships. It's not as uncommon as you think." "What do you mean?" "I know a jaguar and a bear that are mated, one of the most beautiful couples I know. Relationships between different shifters aren't as rare as people think, it's just not talked about. A lot of creatures would kill the couples if they found out, so they just lie low and focus on living happy normal lives." Harlen raised a brow at me. "How do you know this?" I gave her a small smile, thinking about the older couple. "I've been around."

He took a deep breath, and another big gulp of his beer. “I don’t know what the weapons had or how they worked, but they stopped everyone from being able to shift and feel their wolves. Mate bonds are there, but most mates are same-sex couples. Pups have been few in the past years, so our numbers have been dwindling.”, Adam said. He reached for his bottle of beer again.

But by the way, Gabi was looking each and every day like she too was punishing herself. So last night I sat down and typed up my resignation. I also found some already drafted separation orders with a fair deal for custody. Shifters typically did not do separations or custody agreements. It was almost unheard of due to many being fated pairs. But I had heard of some chosen mates separating. Unfortunately, they didn’t have kids. And again they were chosen mates and not fated. But Marcus and I hadn’t been more distant. The last time we had been this distant, we didn’t even know the other existed.

Ruan spent the entire way feeling guilty for leaving Chloe alone in the hospital. During those two months of marriage, it was the first time he truly worried about her and wished to be by her side. He had never seen Chloe so destroyed. She always seemed strong. She had just lost a child she hadn’t even known she carried, and that had shattered her completely.

Otherwise, don't blame me for not considering the fact that we're married. "Married?" I laughed in disbelief. "Selena, you're talking to me about marriage? When you took a lover, opened a gym for him, handed him my belongings, and let him flaunt my identity, did you remember the fact that you're married? "Did that cross your mind when you let him lead a group of men to beat Michael and me up? And now you want to talk to me about being married? Aren't you disgusted with yourself?"

None of the couples seemed bothered by the presence of others, each couple was there for their mate, sharing the pure pleasure of expressing their naked love under the open sky. Insects, birds and the sounds of lovers filled the air, making it, in some ways, the best of nights. When Sam was settled into the hot tub Phil asked Brisk about his statement about his family and marriage. An arranged marriage, expected to last a lifetime seemed a very foreign concept in California.

I can't help but ask. He looks at me. “We don’t need a virgin,” he says with an eye roll. “It’s just to make sure whoever she is doesn’t come with the extra baggage of ex-boyfriend drama.” I nod. He’s right. “The truth is we're going to go into bankruptcy,” he continues, and I tense my body. “If we don't raise the stock numbers soon, it'll cost us a lot.
