Underworld Bride Trials Novels & Stories

This was cruelty dressed as tradition. Elder Haldis’s voice carried across the chamber. “By oath of the Moon, those who would seek the bond of the Luna-heir shall speak truth beneath silver. Lies shall burn their flesh, and deceit shall break their claim. Let the trial begin.” The first suitor, a broad-shouldered wolf from the Stormvale pack, stepped forward. He tried to mask his fear, but his wolf-scent soured as the chain was draped across his bare arms. His body jerked, muscles tightening at the first contact. A hiss of pain slipped through his teeth.

And Cherry on the top, my bride had three possessive brothers. 'But I am ready to fight with everyone if at the end of everything my prize is my human bride.', I thought but the biggest problem was still not mentioned above. 'Will my bride accept me for what I am and will she leave her family, siblings, her living body, and her world to be with me?' . . I couldn't stop myself from staring at her. She looked kind of cute with her round chubby cheeks and her doe eyes. I didn't want to go on her sexy curvy figure because it was already perfect.

But since she needs to get to her parlour appointment and she needs someone to take care of her bags, she was considerate enough to let me sit in the car. An hour or so pases and Lisa walks out of the parlour with her almond brown hair glossy, her nails and eyebrows done. I look at my own reflection in the car mirror. My eyebrows were never considered from the time I was eighteen, nor my grooming. Since I am not their daughter. And she gets everything as now she is eighteen and ready for the marriage trials. Also, she is the perfect mate type because all she thinks about is marriage and spending the money of her husband. I don't fall into that. I wish I did though. Maybe then I wouldn't have

"A wild girl unfit for society, not a trace of your sister's grace. Later, you will kneel and present my tea. That is our family's rule." My brow furrowed. I tried to pull back, but Asher's grip on my arm was like a vise. "Don't cause a scene. I can still call this whole thing off, right here. Your precious sister isn't here to save you now." He thrust a scalding teacup into my hands, then shoved me down until my knees hit the polished floor. His mother looked down her nose at me, a smirk playing on her lips. "This is tradition. Anyone wishing to marry into our family must show their humility."

He was beside her in an instant. “Did I hurt you, Lia? Are you injured?” “Nay, husband.” She peeked out at him from the edge of the counterpane, “I used a trick my mother told me before she died.” “What trick is that?” “She told me that English men like a woman to bleed on the wedding night, but many lasses don’t, even if they have not been with a man. She told me that lasses put a leach in their channel for a bit a day or two before the wedding to make a weak spot so coupling will shed some blood. I had thought that all the emissary would need was a bloody sheet and mother's trick would provide that for us.”

Dawn- Mr. Eldorado, this is my daughter, Dawn.” This man standing before me is the one I’m supposed to marry, I’m coerced to marry to be more precise. Kai Eldorado, the leader of the strongest mafia army. Everyone is scared of him, and I am no exception. I just got caught up in this world because I grew up, isn’t it funny how parents start looking for a groom as soon as their daughter hits 20? That’s what happened, I'm turning 23 soon.

I got up from my chair. “Well then, I guess Sofia is going to have a lovely time in my basement… Barry calls it the torture chamber.” I taunted her. “You are just a sick bastard. What the fuck kind of deal is this. It is not a fair one.” “All is fair in love and war. All you have to do is agree to marry me and I will make sure that not a single hair on her head is harmed.” “And if I refuse?” She asked, her voice sounding smaller now.

Lila. I picked up the papers back up and rifled through them before setting them down again. “This is what I’m talking about!” I said annoyed, He looked at the offending lines I had highlighted out. “The infidelity clause?” he said acting surprised. “Is that its official title?” I had never been so angry in my entire life and that included the day I found out my sister was behind sabotaging me at my own wedding, “If I have an affair the deal is off, yet there are absolutely no limitations imposed on you! It’s a blatant, unrepentant double standard!”

“This is the third time the makeup artist has retouched my makeup. She didn’t complain to me, but I’ll feel so guilty if I have to call her again to fix me up. Your son is really the best thing that could ever happen to me. You raised a very good man, Nala, and I promise to be a good wife to him.” ​ Nala smiled through her tears. ​ “He had no reason to bother himself for another wedding since the law recognizes us as man and wife, but he pushed for this because he wanted me to have the best. I don’t know if you heard about my past, but it was a rough one. I’ve had to get married to men I didn’t love, all because I had no choice.” ​

He caught my eye and chuckled lightly, noticing my confusion. “You’ve never heard of them, have you?” he asked, his voice carrying a knowing tone. I shook my head, feeling like an outsider. “No idea. What are they?” Kira, who had been unusually quiet, spoke up then. “The Winter Trials are a series of tests every year. They’re not exactly common knowledge among the first years.” She glanced at Sara, then back at me. “Every faction whether werewolves, werecats, vampires, or otherwise chooses their strongest members to participate. The trials are meant to test every aspect of skill, from strength to strategy, endurance, and even teamwork.”
