The Broken Ring: This Marriage Will Fail Anyway Novel Novels & Stories

We were living the life I always dreamed of, but now that I know it was all fake, and not once until that very last day did I question it… I feel like my judgement radar is broken. “I’ve spent the last few years a shadow of the girl you left behind when you went to college,” I whisper, feeling the need to get my jumbled thoughts out into the open. “My marriage with James was rocky at best. The first few years we spent together, I was more of an emotional punching bag for him. But I saw through his anger, and at the core, he was just a man with a broken soul.”

He was really not in the mood for this kind of lecture. “Well, that’s the way it was then,” Aunt Tess insisted with a shrug. “No living together unless there was a ring. And sex was–” Keeping his head down, Joe was grinding his teeth, hoping that this would end very soon. This wasn’t just uncomfortable, this was painful.

“I understand not coming to our wedding, but he was your best friend and he died... And you didn't even have the courage to show up” “He deserved better, Sofia. And I wasn't the best for him," I said simply hoping she would understand. Sofia was about to say something, got ready, opened her mouth and... closed again. Years ago this would never have happened, Sofia always had something to say, even if it was one of her clever jokes. But this Sofia now was different. This Sofia had scars and baggage that I didn't know about. She had been married, had had a husband and a home, and lost both. That leaves a mark on people.

The metal feels cold against my skin, a stark reminder of all the broken promises and shattered dreams. Then, with a trembling hand, I tug at the pocket of his blazer, dropping the ring into it. The sound of it hitting the fabric is like a final verdict, sealing the fate of our failed marriage. “Keep it.” I pat the pocket and smirk up at him. “You might need it for another wife.” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the line that I should not have crossed.

He slipped the diamond ring onto her finger, and they wrapped each other in a tight embrace. My wolf let out an agonized howl, and my mind went blank. Before I knew it, my fingers were tracing the engagement ring Kyle had sent me. I never told him the ring didn't fit. I'd just threaded it on a chain and kept it close to my heart. Now the delicate chain broke without a sound, and the ring slipped from my chest, disappearing into the shadows. Just like our engagement—shattered in all but name. A ring that never fit wasn't worth chasing, and a man who was never mine wasn't worth holding on to.

"I will not tolerate you throwing derogatory words at my friends. Now get out, you womanizing wimp, before I do worse!” Even Delia and Natalie were shocked at my reaction, their eyes wide and lips parted. Fynn couldn’t be more aghast, staring at me like I was someone unrecognizable. I yanked his ring from my finger and hurled it at him with all the disgust I felt. "I’ll be awaiting the divorce papers.” "We're married," he snarled, clinging to the word like it was his last defense. Unperturbed by the anger seething in his words, I quirked a brow, meeting his glare with cold finality. "And now, we’re about to be divorced. Get the hell out of here, Fynn, and stop embarrassing yourself any furth

My hell. It took me months to learn that he had married me because of the mate bond. The bond might have been nature's punishment, but this marriage was his punishment. "Are you deaf?" His voice interrupted my thoughts. My gaze skipped to his face, and I blinked, realizing I'd been standing in front of him for a while. I stared at him, thirst for revenge eating away at my soul, I want to stab him in the heart so bad. "Get out!" Connor snarled at me, his face etched in dark fury. I turned on my heels and scurried out of the dining room. I heard a snicker, but I didn't bother to check who it was.

I stood there shocked with my jaw hanging open, staring at the dead bodies that were impaled by Reid's ice. I knew he was strong, but it was that moment that I knew he was going to be the most powerful alpha there ever was. I knew he was destined for great things and I can't wait to see it. The end. **** Yes, the book is over, but the story is not. Aiden and Thaddeus, along with their children, their story continues in “A Broken Alpha” series.

The truth hit the room like an explosion, tearing straight through the polished calm of the wedding. The entire hall erupted. "Teresa's that vicious? Oh, my… She's been with that many men? Doesn't she worry about getting sick?" "And she had the nerve to call someone else trash? She's no better." "Mr. Tucker really got played.
