I took a slow, steady breath, suppressing the storm of emotions raging within me. My humiliation was still fresh, raw, but I refused to let it consume me.Placing a serene, unreadable expression on my face, I turned to one of the nearby servants. "Where is the ladies' room?" My voice was cool, devoid of the anger I felt clawing at my insides. The young maid hesitated before quickly lowering her gaze. "This way, Lady Geraldine." Tch. Lady Geraldine? Not Luna huh?I nodded curtly and followed her out of the grand hall, ignoring the murmurs that followed in my wake. The moment I stepped into the luxurious powder room, I exhaled sharply. The room was lavishly decorated, with ornate mirrors, plush seating, and the lingering scent of lavender in the air. I gripped the edges of the marble sink, my fingers tightening as I glared at my reflection. My silver hair was still immaculately styled, my makeup flawless, but beneath the surface, all I felt was red hot fury. Amir had humiliate

A thick, oppressive silence surrounded me, stretching endlessly into the void. Was this death? I tried to move, but my limbs felt as if they were wrapped in lead, refusing to obey. The last thing I remembered was eating breakfast, a bitter taste on my tongue, then darkness swallowing me whole. Had I finally crossed over to the afterlife? A low hum vibrated in the depths of my mind. It was low at first, almost like a whisper carried in the wind. Then it grew stronger and louder that it seemed like it was going to burst my ears."Wake up, Geraldine."I stiffened. That was my wolf. She had been silent for so long that I’d nearly forgotten what her voice sounded like. "You’re not dead," she murmured, a touch of exasperation in her tone. "But if you don’t wake up soon, we might wish we were." I forced my eyelids open, blinking sluggishly against the dim light. My vision swam for a moment before settling on something, or rather, someone, far too close to my face. A pointed, mas

The room erupted into chaos as Geraldine crumpled to the floor.My steps quickened and I was at her side in an instant, scooping her up into my arms. Her skin was cold, her body trembling violently. “Get the doctor, now!”I barked at the nearest servant, who hurried out of the room without hesitation. I laid her down gently on the couch, clenching my jaw. Her lips were already tinged with blue. “Stay with me,” I muttered under my breath, the words more a command than a plea. I didn't want to have to go over this again—getting married and all. She was the perfect specimen.The door burst open, and Gregory, my butler, stepped inside.“Alpha, what's wrong?” he asked, his voice low and worried. “She collapsed,” I replied curtly, my focus still on her fragile form. “Poison, most likely. Wolfsbane, if I had to guess.” Gregory nodded, already in motion. “I’ll gather the staff.” “Good,” I said, my tone ice-cold. “No one leaves this house until I find out who’s responsible.” The

I barely had time to process the exchange before Amir leaned down again, his breath warm against my ear. “Get used to it. There’s a lot of venom behind all those pretty smiles.”I stiffened under his hand. “ I know. I’m not here to make friends,” I muttered, keeping my own polite smile plastered on as more guests approached.“Good,” he said simply, his voice low and detached. Minutes later, I was pacing the length of a room lavishly decorated with roses in every corner. Their sweet fragrance mixed with the faint scent of vanilla candles that flickered under the dim lighting. Hell no!I stopped mid-stride, staring at the bed as my heart raced. “Was this really going to happen? Are we going to consummate this marriage?”This was just a deal. He promised!He couldn't possibly want to mate with me…The door creaked open, and I spun around, my breath hitching as Amir stepped into the room. His presence seemed to suck the air from the space, and I was suddenly aware of how small the room

“Où est le marié?” The butler shouted in French, running around like he was the one getting married. For one, he was not the Alpha's father. But he fretted like a hen when it came to the Alpha. Even more shocking was that he's a human. I stared at his bald head reflecting the light from the chandelier and almost burst out laughing.This was not how I imagined my marriage would be.A grand ballroom, a thousand guests, a heavily diamond dotted dress and a missing groom.It was a perfect picture of chaos. The Alpha's entrance silenced the room in an instant as they watched him in awe.The butler was practically bouncing on his heels. “Alpha, we’ve been looking everywhere! Where…”“Got the rings?” the Alpha interrupted, not acknowledging his nervousness.The butler froze, his eyes wide. “Ah, yes, of course! Right here!” He handed over the small velvet box with a trembling hand.The Alpha took the box with a practiced ease, his gaze flicking briefly toward me before turning to the offic

“I didn't know…I'm sorry.” I apologized, my voice trembling as I looked up at him. I glanced around hoping that the maid's presence would ease my fear but she was long gone.“How do you plan to make up for my saving you? I can't bother with keeping an ingrate alive.” His words sent a chill through my spine. The way he had said it calmly with a smile…like he could kill me.“Please, I don't have any money.” I stammered uncontrollably. My snarkiness was nowhere to be found. “Does it look like I need money?” He chuckled and rested his chin on his plan with a bored look in his dark irises as he observed me.I swallowed heavily.'What the hell can I offer him? He has everything!’ I thought silently, but he seemed to have read my mind as he raised a brow with disinterest. But the words that came tumbled out of his lips were anything but shocking.“Marry me.”What?????Did I hear correctly?“Marry you?" I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper, as if saying it louder might make it more re
