Novel & Cerita Unholy Matrimony

Her stepbrother, Matt, had been with her throughout the day, not resting, unlike her husband, who had claimed he had some pressing work to take care of, while that was just an excuse. Earlier that day, he had met his mistress. While his wife ran around, trying to save their baby, he had been in the arms of another woman. Dominic had never liked lactating mothers. He hates mothers, generally, and intends to divorce his wife now that her curves have filled out. The idea of a child had all been Mara's. She wanted one, and he gave it to her even though he didn't want it. Mara didn’t know about it. She didn’t know that her ‘loving’ husband was planning on divorcing her. She had felt his withdrawa

Her mother's affair with him was a betrayal of the mate bond, a violation of everything their society held sacred. When her powers manifested, Cara had been left alone with a truth that could destroy everything. The shame of her mother's infidelity, the scandal of being Valerius's illegitimate child, the complications it would create in the realm… all of it was too much to bear. In a world where bloodlines and legitimacy mattered, where chosen mates were still sacred bonds, being the product of an affair made her an embarrassment. A stain on both her mother and potentially on Valerius's reputation.

Yet I cannot admit the truth either. “It is complicated.” Shaking his head, he pulls the metal out and inspects it. The strip of steel must meet his approval, he takes it to the stone and splits the top half of it, making it into a Y shape. “Most likely, it is not as complicated as you think.” Using the tongs, he puts it back into the hot coals. “My wife did not have a mark when we married, it was not until after she had our oldest son that the priestess marked her.”

"How long are you gonna keep this up? Do you have to ruin my life? Can't I have a good day? I wasted 13 years on you. Can't you stop being so selfish?" He froze, fumbling to explain, "No, you don't get it. You can only marry me. You love me. That guy and you have barely spent a day together, while we know each other best. Don't worry. We can get married anywhere. I'm not letting go this time." His commitment seemed real, but he acted like a monster ready to swallow me whole. Terrified, I snapped, "No, I don't like you anymore. Leave now, or I'll sue you!"

They weren’t illusions. And yet here I was, trapped in the role of an outsider, watching him bind himself to another woman. The priest began to speak, his voice resonant, commanding. “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Zane Blackwood and Sera Voss in holy matrimony. Marriage is a sacred covenant, a bond not to be entered into lightly, but reverently, in the fear of God and in the joy of love. Today, these two stand before us to pledge their lives to each other…”

“What?” Selene’s gaze flicked to Damien, enjoying the fury in his eyes. “Didn’t he tell you? Your Alpha father already promised him to me. We’re to be married. A union of packs. A union of power.” “No,” Emilia whispered, her stomach dropping, the bond twisting painfully. She turned to Damien, desperate. “Tell me she’s lying.” Damien’s jaw clenched, his golden eyes burning with fury and shame. “Emilia—” Before he could finish, the forest shook with a deafening snarl.

he asked, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Uncle Matteo began reading. “According to clause number seventeen of your marriage contract signed five years ago, in the event of infidelity, the offending party shall forfeit forty percent of their assets to the wronged party as compensation for breach of marital fidelity.” The room fell into silence. Dead silence. “Interesting,” Daniel said, chuckling. Nobody but my parents, Uncle Matteo, and I knew about this. Kane blinked. Once. Twice. “What!” “You signed it,” Uncle Matteo said, passing the papers to him.

Congratulations flew around at the latest couple in town. I had long since learned about their mating thing. I got to learn that somehow, they were not the ones who choose who to spend the rest of their lives with. Most of them got bestowed their mates by the moon goddess. Of course, they could always reject the mate if they didn't want, but that was hardly the case as most of them were always pleased with who they got merged to. My mind slowly drew to the Alpha and I wondered who his mate would be. Could it be that Miss Kardashian? Was that why he was always indulging her evil acts?

"I have dreamt of my marriage since I was a little girl. My husband would be madly in love with me and he'd be willing to worship the floor I walked on. And my children? I dreamt of having a lot of them. And some pets, a few dogs and a cat that would be the Queen of our house. A contract marriage is the complete opposite of that dream. Ema, I just can't." "You're being unnecessarily stubborn Lila, just take your time to give me your answer." Emmanuel concluded deciding not to push her anymore. Perhaps if he gave her some time, she'd make the best decision. Lila knew when to back down in n argument and now wasn't the time to argue besides he was only looking out for her. One way or another he

Their marriage had crossed a threshold, secrets spilling into shared filth. And the monthly orgies? Inevitable now.
