The War God Alpha's Arranged Bride Novels & Stories

I start trembling with anticipation, lost in the wild, thrilling chaos of the ceremony. I know Knox was among the males, and he was looking at me too, but I didn't bother to look for him for even a second. “The Goddess will only bless the brave one who proves he deserves his female! Fight to be chosen and forge the future of our realm in this festival!” The Alpha King’s voice booms out as the drums fall silent for a second. He climbs up on a barrel to add even more urgency to it. All of a sudden, I don’t understand what’s supposed to happen next, but the women are more than excited.

"Put it on. Alpha Atlas will be here in five minutes. And if I were you, I’d stop looking so smug. He hates you more than anyone else in this house." Panic, cold and sharp, clawed at my throat. Alpha Atlas. The most ruthless, bloodthirsty Alpha in the region. He had been forced to marry Karina by the Elders to secure a border treaty. He was famously cruel, a tyrant who demanded perfection and punished betrayal with death. And Karina was nothing but a walking betrayal. "I'm not her," I whispered to the mirror, touching the soft, unmarked skin of Karina's cheek. "You're pathetic," Olivia scoffed, turning toward the door. "Don't try to run. Dylan and Wayton are guarding the hallway. If you step

Vessa sat to Orion's left, where she had been sitting since she arrived. I was at the far end of the table. One of the eastern lords a broad man with grey in his hair and the confidence of someone accustomed to being the most powerful person in any room looked down the table at me during the first course and said, loudly enough that the nearby conversation paused: "I was told the Alpha King had taken a human bride. I did not realize she would be seated so far from him. Is this a Fenwick custom or simply a preference?" The table went quiet.

"They think the goddess will reject the match. They think she will tear the bond apart right here because their true fated mate is still breathing somewhere in the dirt." My jaw clenched until my teeth ached. "And if she does reject it?" "Then the union ends in blood," Nixon said, his fingers tightening further until my bone creaked. "Because no Alpha tolerates a broken contract in front of his entire court." I looked around the room. Every neck was strained. Every wolf was leaning forward, their nostrils flaring as they scented the air for the smell of burning flesh or ozone - the signs of a rejected blessing.

He didn't say a word at first, his thumb just grazed her pulse point in a silent, possessive warning. "Are you disappointed it’s me?" he rasped. Chloe tried to pull back, but his grip only tightened as he pinned her against the wall, trapping her in the scent of cedar and rain. "You've got a lot of nerve," Silas whispered, his gaze dropping to her flushed ears. "Intentionally provoking her like that?". "I thought the Alpha liked games," Chloe countered, staring him down. "One minute you're telling me I'm your wife, the next you're courting Tiffany in front of the world".

The Alpha didn't care about the contract bride. He was probably only tolerating her existence out of respect for Evelyne Blackthorne’s final wish before she passed into the stars. The marriage was a dead queen’s decree, nothing more. I watched their silhouettes disappear into the elevator shaft, my face remaining completely blank until the iron gates clanged shut. They looked like royalty. I couldn't fathom why an Alpha of his strength tolerated a female who used poison and whispers to clear her path. But it wasn't my concern.

“You are my only wish.” The cave spun. My breath caught as he went on, the words tumbling from him, unpolished but real. “Everything that’s happened…” voice came out cracking. “I don’t even know how it all slipped so fast. I wasn’t in control…I thought I was protecting you, thought rejection was the only way to keep you safe. But I was wrong. God, I was so wrong. And now… if this is the end, then let it be said. Larissa—you’re the only wish I ever had. “I don’t regret being Alpha. But I regret every second I lived without you by my side . “I always loved you. I always do. You're the only thing I’ve ever wanted.”

But this time, he no longer looked as cold. "There's a deal." He cleared his throat. "I'll keep your secret and even help you when needed. In return, let's get married." Scarlet thought she'd heard wrong. She waited for the man to say the right thing. But the alpha stood there, staring at her as if scrutinizing her. "I'm Alpha Kaden of the West Kingdom. This is a contractual marriage that would end in two years. You're in?" Scarlet finally understood she hadn't heard him wrong. Her expression chilled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~EPILOGUE~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Time jump to somewhere in the future. Alexander did become the next Alpha. He made his dad very proud of the man he became and how he ruled their pack. Raelynn ended up being his fated mate. It was a good thing as Alexander and Madelyn were extremely close. And Raelynn and Madelyn were best friends like their moms were. Angel and Kile had triplet girls. Everyone said it was Kile's punishment for being a womanizer in his younger days. He was overwhelmed at having three girls.

“We will all look into it discreetly, but you are to act with caution Alpha, If you break the treaty without proof, you will have to take responsibility for everything that will happen, the war, the bloodshed" “I understand Elders, and you should rest assured I won't let that happen" I said through clenched teeth. He leaned forward slightly. “Be careful, Alpha She is not just your vampire bride. She is her mother’s daughter, and you of all people should know how cunning a vampire can be." I didn't respond,I left without another word. But the fire in my chest burned hotter than ever. I knew it, the elders never took sides, all they ever do is show the one who is front of them that their are o
