Unholy Matrimony Novels & Stories

A hand caught me and I looked down to see the Alpha's mother staring at me sympathetically. I looked wildly back at Sean and Anya. "Over my dead body,” I hissed. "Over my dead body will you marry her on my wedding day? You can't!" Sean raised a bored eyebrow. "You don't get to decide that." Another hand landed on my shoulder and pulled me to a sturdy body. I knew it was my dad. “Beta Sean,” the priest finally said, "I cannot marry you and..." He gestured to Anya who still hadn't said anything. "...the other woman. You are still mated to Nova, so the Moon Goddess won't honor such a union."

Faith asked to fill the awkward silence. "Obviously. Kalen, my one, and I have wanted a baby for a long time." "What's a 'one'?" Faith asked. "Well, vampires don't marry; they have soul mates. When you find your soul mate, you mark each other, claiming them as yours, and you as theirs. They are your One, forever and ever. Infidelity is a crime punishable by death. When you have found your One you are called 'bonded' vampires, and become more powerful now that you are united with your other half. Also any normal vampire can only create offspring with their One, however royalty are obviously more powerful and can reproduce with anyone." Katherine explained calmly as if she were just talking ab

I asked and shook my head. "You're certain?" He asked me and I told him what I saw and heard. He was rubbing his eyes before he started laughing hysterically. My brow furrowed as I mumbled that it was gross and not that funny. He looked at me and smiled, "no it's perfect. You see incest is strictly forbidden and terms for banishment. It also means their challenges are null and void, love." I grinned brightly and clapped my hands as I jumped about happily but sobered quickly.

was a surrender, a desperate plea whispered against the roaring tide of her fear. The ceremony, a stark contrast between sacred vows and a clandestine contract, unfolded with a chilling grace. The priest's pronouncements echoed in the cavernous space, the words "husband and wife" a stark reality that felt both alien and inescapable. Then, the kiss – a fleeting touch, a brand of possession, a silent acknowledgment of their precarious arrangement.

The existence of a prior, undisclosed marriage renders the subsequent marriage null and void. Given these compelling reasons, it is clear that the marriage between Mr Xavier Blackwood and Miss Isabella Knight cannot be upheld as legal or valid. The circumstances surrounding the event, including Mr Blackwood's incapacitated state at the time of the alleged marriage and his existing marriage to Miss Lauren Vale, warrant the annulment of this union.

He had to walk away to slay the growing attraction to the forbidden happiness that would never be his. She is forbidden in the laws of man. Even if there is no blood in their bodies, it still wouldn't be possible. Even in the eyes of God, it's still impossible because Felicity's mother and father were united in a church marriage to become husband and wife and that included them being siblings.

As a couple,my groom and I stood in front of the priest. "Dear beloved,we are gathered here to witness the matrimonial ceremony of this man and woman." He states. 'rude.' I scoff. "I Mecael Heloriet, take Aria Nikar as my wife." He stops at that and I lift my eyebrow at him. Nice vow. His name was Mecael. Mecael Heloriet. Not bad. Not bad at all. "I hate this but I have no other option." I sigh and meet his emerald green eyes.

Making himself look promising. Then, the priest turned to me. "Neiva Ariella Hillstone, do you take this man to be your husband, to live together in matrimony, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?" I still can't believe that I'm going to marry this man. He looks happy, waiting for my answer. His white suit is making him look even kinder. The only witness we have here is the priest and his men in black suits, currently pointing a gun right into my head.

Jasmine laughed. “Sorry, I’m not explaining this too well. The Haunt can fool around all he or she wants, right up until the point of consummation. If they go past that, they’re hooked for life. Adultery usually results in madness, thanks to their unique genetic makeup.” When the confusion didn’t clear from Andrea’s brow she explained gently, “Mathin is a virgin as we define the term, as are all unmated Haunt.” The grin was back as she waggled a piece of fruit at Andrea. “But if you value your life, don’t call him that. The term means a man of no experience here, and he’s definitely not that.”

The lawyer sighed, placing his briefcase on the table before looking at me seriously. “Eloise, I’ve been working for the Hart family for many years. I’ve known you since after your grandfather passed. And I understand how complicated this situation is for you, but…” He adjusted his glasses. “Legally speaking, there is no marriage to dissolve.” I frowned. “What?” He clasped his hands together. “Since Matthew, your first husband, is still alive, your marriage to Elijah is considered null and void from the very moment Matthew returned. In the eyes of the law, you were never legally married to Elijah in the first place.”
