Romans & histoires Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle

This marriage right now was entirely to his human side, so she was trying her best to retreat into the darkest corner of my mind and wait in sorrow until it was over. When we entered the room, and my eyes landed on my uncle and his men, I tried to maintain my numbness and not outwardly show my disgust and discomfort. Some of the very men that tortured and ravaged my body in my last days were standing around the room, their sickening stares making Val snarl in my mind. “About time,” Uncle growls. “Bad enough I had to wait to use you for this till the day you turned 18. Let’s get this over with. I have a meeting in town right after this.”

I wanted to swing at him, yet I barely hung onto my Uncle at this point, nor could I risk all that I had sacrificed so far. "Arch-Necromancer, please, let us begin. My Nephew is deteriorating by the second as we speak." My Uncle Oskar urged as he moved me to lean on him more, laying my arm over his shoulder as I tried to keep my footing. Yet, I felt my knees buckling under me as Shepard began to examine me.

"It was a trap built before you ever walked into it." I sat down on the federal building steps. Not gracefully. My legs simply decided without consulting me. Around me, the city continued its indifferent motion. A pigeon landed three feet from my shoe and regarded me with total disinterest. My uncle. My father's brother. The man who had held me at the funeral and called me strong, and then gone home and collected his fifteen percent stake in the destruction of everything my father had built. "Amber." Kade's voice in my ear. "Come to the car."

My mating ceremony with Chris kept getting interrupted, one reason after another. The first time, his adopted sister Lucy threw him a bachelor party. He drank too much and missed our slot. The second time, right before we set out, Lucy twisted her ankle. Chris took her to the hospital and missed it again. The third time, we were already standing at the vow platform when Lucy cried until she fainted below. Once again, Chris left me standing there. The fourth time, the fifth time... Lucy, every single time. "Hurry up, Sheila! This is the eighth time! There are only fifteen minutes left to receive the Moon Goddess's blessing. If you miss it again, the Moon Goddess will take it as proof the

"Yes, I know. He had enlisted in the army then being assembled by King Cinaed with a view to taking the throne from the previous king. The king Cinaed, had promised them that if they succeeded he would reward them bountifully, and it happened indeed." “Oh, I see. I remember my grandmother crying and saying that Uncle Malcolm had disavowed them. It had been so many years and she was still crying and wasting away because he had abandoned them and wanted nothing to do with them. She died mourning for him. We have buried all my grandparents. A year before I lost my parents, we had buried the last one." “So you had no one after your parent’s death, and for this you were sent to your uncle,” Hecto

A single photo — his mother shaking hands with a man neither of them had ever seen, outside the private restaurant she only used for negotiations too sensitive for her office. He opened it, already bracing for the worst his family was capable of. He wasn't braced for this. Beneath the photo, a second file had loaded — a scanned page, old enough that the ink had started to fade, dated three years back. A marriage alliance clause between the Ashford and Whitfield families, naming the Ashford heir who would seal it. Not Julian's name on the signature line. His. Signed the same month Ivy had vanished without a word — the month he'd told himself, for the first time, that she was never coming back

Everyone was having a blast on the yacht for Valentine’s Day when my boyfriend, Ethan Hayes, asked me to go tell his uncle I fancied him. “Go on, tell him. You’re a lucky girl if he actually takes a liking to you! Next time we meet, I might even have to call you auntie!” Vivian Lawrence, his childhood sweetheart, was by my boyfriend’s side, smiling triumphantly. Just a few minutes ago, they had shared a glass of cocktail. I clutched the watch in my pocket—bought with two months of my savings to make peace—my heart riddled with holes. Suddenly, a line of live comment lit up before my eyes: “I’m sick of this jerk. Girl, go for the uncle. He’s the real big shot. He’s fancied you for a long time

As for the Alpha, after a scandal like this, he no longer deserved the title. In the end his wolf was torn out of him, and he was exiled from the pack forever. But that came later. I didn't know it then, and I didn't care. When I stepped off the stage, I cared about only one thing. I found Uncle and reached for him. “I'm eighteen. I want to read Mommy's letter.”

He was an awful being. “It’s the way of the Highlanders,” said Grant. “They bully, steal, kill and takeover packs. That’s all they’re good at.” “Wait, did you say Highlanders?” I asked. “Yes, Jade. Your uncle was a rogue who left his pack in the Highlands to seek glory elsewhere. He was clever enough to befriend Alpha Vin to get to know his weaknesses.” Everything Grant was saying right now was confusing me. I remember that my family and I travelled from somewhere to attend my uncle’s Alpha ceremony in Apex Woods. I just couldn’t remember where that place was.

So this party isn't for us, it was for the older couple, I looked around and there were no males from outside, except for our pack members, I understood that this was all set for me. Uncle wanted me to admit, right? I will, I strolled to Uncle Morris and Dessi and conceded to them that I found my mate in Alice. I was a little hesitant, but the outcome made me overjoyed. He hugged me instantly as if he was waiting for me to tell him that. But still, I doubt how she will react to it...! When Uncle saw me desperate, he chuckled and permitted me to go commit to his daughter,
