The King’s Chosen Bride Novels & Stories

“It is tradition that the future king chooses a mate. A queen to stand beside him. Someone to guide, to rule, to protect this realm with. And after much consideration, after hardship, betrayal, and loss, I’ve made my choice.” The crowd holds its breath. I look straight ahead. Not at any one person, not even at Elise, though I know she’s there. Standing tall. Smiling, probably. Ready to claim what she believes is hers. But I don’t give her that satisfaction. Not yet. I straighten my shoulders. My tone is clipped. Final. Cold as the steel coiled in my gut. “My chosen bride-to-be…” I pause. “…is Elise.”

Her interest in him was purely designed. As the heir to the Jackson empire, marrying him would have secured her position as the future matriarch. However, she had been studying abroad in Switzerland when news of Asher's sudden marriage reached the family. "I can't believe she managed to snag him without any real effort," Kimberly spat, pacing around the library. "I've heard many things about Ivana. She's nothing more than a gold digger. I even heard she's not even favored in her own family. It is purely just an arranged marriage." Kimberly spoke bitterly.

She was full of pride and ambition. “Yes, Father,” she added quickly, “Tell us. Has the King's bride left already? Is that why you’re smiling like this?” Elder Zhou gave a small laugh. Inside, he thought to himself, If only they knew. His joy ran deeper than they could understand. His prayers had been answered. Not only had the King gotten a bride, but she was no ordinary woman. She was special. She had something only those chosen by the Goddess could see. Elder Zhou had seen it with his own eyes.

“Don't tell me you're chickening out?” I parted my lips to speak, but I'd barely gotten any more words out before she turned to the crowd again. “Our king's bride doesn't want to drink.” She let out in faux sadness, and I watched everyone's attention snap towards her immediately. “That's a little sad don't you think?” “How do we know she's one of us then?” A gruff biker from behind hissed. “we need to be sure she's in our side. So drink up, princess.”

he pointed at Blue and she was surprised. “You can accept to be my bride and Queen of OakSherd” Blue didn’t expect that but she saw it a new way to save them, “If I become your Queen, will you not kill us” she asked and Cane raised his head to look at her, this was the first time he had taken knowledge of exactly where he was, his stare had a look of confusion on it. “I won’t I give you my word” Damon held her hand raising her up. Blue took a deep breath, readied herself for what she was about to get into and open her lips, “I accept” she said.

“Fortunately Kieran collected you, yes? Before you fell into ruin.” “George,” the Queen said lightly. “We are not alone.” She turned and smiled and waved to some of the guests who, while standing at the other side of the room, had been watching us closely. “Too many vultures circle around me for me,” the King grumbled. Vultures… He couldn’t mean me? “Sir, Kieran and I have chosen each other –” Ignoring me, the King turned his piercing gaze onto Kieran. “Son. I knew you wished to take a wife, to place yourself in my good graces before my inevitable end. But are you sure this is best one?”

When our number is finally called at the courthouse, my fianceé takes the appointment slip I'd spent three hours waiting for and hands it to her male best friend. "Zach and I will go in first. It's better for PR. You can take the next slot." Zach Jones slips my wedding ring onto his finger and flashes a smile at me. "Don't worry, man. I'm a PR professional. We're just signing some paperwork and taking a few courthouse photos. It's no big deal." Then, they walk hand in hand toward the registration office, neither one of them caring enough to notice my reaction. I close my eyes. For seven years, to avoid public suspicion, Eva Sinclair has used Zach as her stand-in for PR events. When ph

After being rejected by three mates, Zaya begins to believe what everyone else has been saying: that she is indeed cursed. But now, the Alpha King himself has chosen her. The rejected mate is now the Alpha King's bride-to-be, but not all happy endings come easily. Some require a forbidden romance with the Alpha king's son.

"Why did he pick me to be his breeder? I'm not even from this kingdom. I'm the niece of a rebel who tried to assassinate him. Why is he acting like a madman? I hate everything about this place. I hate everything about his character." The doctor looked at me with a pitying expression. "The king has been searching for a suitable breeder for a long time, but none of the women he meets is right for that position. He believes you have something unique, something special, that will make you match with him. Even I can see that because I chose you for him." "You chose me for the king?" I echoed, feeling a cold chill run down my spine. "What do you mean by that?" "Before I answer that question, tell

If, peradventure, he wasn't drawn to any of the maidens, they would all come back to the garden where he would select a mate regardless, by physical appearances and any other features of his choice. Rumors spreading in the pack have it that it will be the latter as it was common knowledge that the king was not drawn to anyone within their territories, including the 30 maidens. Despite that, due procedures had to be followed in accordance with "The Hunt." The princesses were taken into different parts of the bush with a maid of their choosing. I wasn't surprised at all when Claudia selected me; I knew she did that out of spite. She would use every little opportunity she gets to make my life m
