Betrothed To The Rogue King   Detective
"I think Xavier is seeing someone else," I said to Glenn while we were at the spa one afternoon, and she looked at me with a combination of disbelief and sympathy. "Are you sure? How do you know though?" She asked quietly, gently. She was apparently trying to not offend me or be pushy on the subject especially with how delicate it was. "We have not done anything as a couple in three months, Glenn! Three freaking months! And Xavier is a very active wolf. If he is not getting it from me, he is surely getting it from somewhere else." I said, feeling the weight in my chest. "Oh my! I am so sorry about that, my darling. But what do these Alpha kings want exactly? Why are we not enough for them?" Glenn lamented. "Don't say that, Glenn! We are enough. In fact, we are a little more than enough. This has nothing to do with us not being enough, and everything to do with them just being greedy pigs who can't keep it in their pants!" I said, livid. "You are right, Babe. You are actually righ

Xavier looked down, shame written all over his face. "I don't know if I could forgive you if you cheated on me, Clara. It would hurt, and I would feel betrayed. But I love you, and I would try to work through it."I shook my head, tears streaming down my face. "I can't believe this is happening to us, Xavier. I thought we had something special, something real. But now, I don't know if I can trust you again.""I understand, Clara. I messed up, and I take full responsibility for my actions. I want to make things right between us, but I know it's going to take time and effort on both our parts," Xavier said, taking a step closer to me."But how do we move forward from this, Xavier? How do we rebuild the trust that you shattered?" I asked, my voice shaking."I don't know, Clara. But we have to try. We have to be open and honest with each other, and we have to communicate better. I want to be the man you deserve, Clara, the man who loves you and cherishes you," Xavier said, his voice firm.
Betrothed To The Rogue King   The kiss
"I still have feelings for you, Clara. And what hurts the most is the fact that you seem to have moved on so completely from me." Attus said quietly and my heart sank. Especially since there were still lingering doubts in my mind with regards to the Alpha King. We were cool again, but I couldn't kick away the gut feeling that he still might cheat on me again. These lingering pains are the main reasons why I sought out Attus's company more often. He always understood every pain, every issue. He was my backbone and sometimes, I felt like he could even be my soulmate. "I don't know what to say when you look at me like that, Attus. You know that I am married to your brother, and you are married as well. We should not be talking about feelings for each other. It's simply not right." I chided, even though I desperately wanted him to continue talking to me like that. I wanted the cloud of desire in his eyes to continue to bathe me in its incandescent glow. "I am sorry, C! It's just very h

One evening, Xavier and Queen Isabella both came to my room. Xavier looked cold and distant, but Queen Isabella had a look of determination on her face."Clara, we need to talk," Xavier said, his voice still cold.Queen Isabella put a hand on his arm. "Xavier, let me handle this."Xavier looked at his mother, then back at me. "Fine. But I hope you know what you're doing."Queen Isabella took a deep breath and turned to me. "Clara, my son has told me about the divorce. But I can't help but feel that he's rushing into this without considering all the consequences."I looked at her, confused. "What do you mean?"Queen Isabella took a seat next to me on the bed. "Clara, you and Xavier have been through so much together. You've built a life together, and you've faced many challenges. But I know that you love each other, and that love is worth fightin
Betrothed To The Rogue King   One more
"I want to take another bride, Clara. And this is not punishment or anything liek that because I completely forgive you for that Attus thingy, but I just want something new with someone fresh." The Alpha King said to me one morning, and I lost my mind.I was silent for a long time after he had spoken." What do you mean exactly? Another bride? Like, another woman as a wife?" I stuttered in confusion.The Alpha King sighed, "Yes, Clara. Another woman as a wife. It's not uncommon among our kind, you know that. And I'm not saying I'll love you any less or treat you differently, but I just feel like I need to expand my horizons, you know?"I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My heart was pounding in my chest as I tried to make sense of his words. "But...but why? Don't you love me anymore?" I asked, my voice trembling.The Alpha King shook his head and took my hands in his. "Cl
Betrothed To The Rogue King   Expectation
I finally accepted to allow the Alpha King to marry another woman. But before I did that, I decided to lay my own rules down with him, and set very clear boundaries."I have some rules and expectations though." I said, noticing the smile on his face fading through my peripheral vision."What are they?" He asked, looking at me like he knew that I was about to anke outrageous demands of him."They are simple. One, she must never sleep in the bed that you and I share. Two, this marriage is now an open marriage, meaning that I can take as many lovers as I damn well please as well…" I said firmly with my neck held high, my face tightened and my back held straight. My shoulders were squared and held proudly."Hold up, girl! Open marriage?" The Alpha King asked, looking scared and angry both at once. "What does that even mean?""It mean
Betrothed To The Rogue King   Brave
When the Alpha King returned to the castle with his new bride, Irene, I put on a brave face and acted unbothered. I made sure to avoid any interactions with her, staying busy with my own tasks and spending time with my friends. Irene seemed sweet enough, with delicate features and a soft-spoken voice, but I couldn't shake the feeling of dislike that I felt towards her. Perhaps it was because she reminded me of Morrigan, the Alpha King's best friend, who had always been a thorn in my side.Despite my best efforts to ignore her, Irene seemed determined to befriend me. She would often seek me out, offering to help me with my tasks or inviting me to tea. At first, I tried to politely decline, but she was persistent, and eventually, I found myself agreeing to spend time with her.Irene was always cheerful and optimistic, and she seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me. But every time we spoke, I couldn't help but feel a sense of bitterness and resentment towards her. She had ever
Betrothed To The Rogue King   Awaken
As I awaken in the hospital room, I am greeted by the sight of white walls and fluorescent lights. The room was small, with a single bed in the center, and medical equipment scattered throughout the space. I felt groggy, my head aching, and my stomach churning. The events leading up to my hospitalization were hazy, but a dull ache in my chest reminded me of the intense emotions that I was experiencing.As I looked around the room, my eyes caught a glimpse of the ashtray sitting on the bedside table. I reached out and picked up the ashtray, examining the contents. It was filled with cigarette butts, and the stench of smoke filled the air. I realized that I must have smoked an entire pack of cigarettes, one after the other, in an attempt to drown out my thoughts and emotions.I remembered taking swigs from a bottle of vodka, the warmth of the liquid filling my stomach as the alcohol took effect. I felt numb and detached from my surroundings, lost in a sea of self-pity and despair.Tears

I nodded, feeling grateful for her words. "I know, but I just don't know what to do. I feel so trapped."Becky leaned in, her voice soft and reassuring. "You're not trapped, sis. You always have options, even if they're not immediately clear. And remember, the only way to move forward is one step at a time."I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of clarity wash over me. "You're right. I need to take things one step at a time. And right now, that means figuring out how to make things better for myself."Becky smiled, her eyes filled with pride. "That's the spirit. We'll figure it out together. And if you need to stay here for a while, that's perfectly fine. You're always welcome here."I nodded, feeling a sense of relief. "Thank you, Becky. I don't know what I would do without you."We spent the rest of the day talking, laughing, and reminiscing about old times. And as the sun began to set, I felt a sense of hope, of optimism for the future. I knew that I still had a long road ahead of

As I continued on my way, I realized that this was one of the most fulfilling experiences I had had in a long time. Helping to bring people together and create a sense of unity was truly rewarding.But my work was not yet done. There were still external threats to the castle, and we needed to be prepared for anything that might come our way.One day, as I was walking through the castle, I heard the sound of horns in the distance. I immediately ran to the walls to see what was happening.In the distance, I could see a group of raiders approaching the castle, their banners waving in the wind. The guards on the walls were scrambling to prepare for the attack.I knew that we had to act quickly. I raced to the queen's chambers to inform her of the impending attack. She quickly assembled her advisors and knights, and we began to prepare for the defense of the castle.The knights were ready and eager for battle, and the peasants were doing their part as well. They had been trained in basic c
Betrothed To The Rogue King   Chance
I'm thinking of leaving Xavier again."I said at the nail salon with Mila and Ellen, and they looked over at me with pity in their eyes." Don't look at me like I said I'll drink acid, girls!" I said, and they blinked."The Irene problem, huh?" Mila asked, and I nodded sadly."I don't want to resort to making her life miserable," I replied. "But I just can't take it anymore. She's always making snide remarks and trying to one-up me. And don't even get me started on the baby. It's like Xavier has completely forgotten about me and everything we had."Mila and Ellen exchanged a knowing glance. "Look, we get it," Ellen said. "But have you considered giving Xavier another chance? Maybe he just needs some time to come around and realize how much he's hurting you.""I've given him plenty of chances," I retorted. "But it's like he doesn't care. And as for Irene, I don't

Attus put a comforting arm around me. "I'm sorry you've been going through all of that," he said. "But you're not alone. I'm here for you, and so are your friends and family."I leaned into him, feeling grateful for his support. "I know," I said. "But sometimes it feels like that's not enough. I feel like I'm trapped here, with no escape."Attus was quiet for a moment, deep in thought. Then he spoke."I know we can't change everything that's going on in the castle," he said. "But we can try to make things better, in our own small way. We can spend more time together, and with our friends. We can support each other, and be there for each other."I looked up at him, feeling hopeful for the first time in a while. "You're right," I said. "We can do that. And maybe, in time, things will get better."Attus smiled at me, his brown eyes warm and reassuring. "I believe they will," he said. "We just have to take things one day at a time, and be there for each other along the way."I nodded, fee
Betrothed To The Rogue King   The birth
Months flew past like seconds and one night, Irene's loud screams woke the entire castle. She was in labour. Withy how dramatic she was, hse made life a living hell even for the Alpha King who'd had two children with me and never had to suffer so much with me. "I am dying!" She screamed, scratching, punching and kicking everyone and everything in her way. The midwife and nurses quickly arrived at Irene's chambers, trying their best to calm her down and carry her to the delivery room. It was a difficult task, as Irene continued to thrash around, screaming and cursing everyone in sight.Finally, they managed to get her to the delivery room, where she was immediately immersed in a large basin of warm water. Irene had insisted on a water birth, as she claimed it was the most natural and pain-free way to give birth. But as the contractions intensified, she began to regret her decision.The midwife and nurses did their best to support her through the labor, but it soon became clear that th

Irene sneered down at the little girl. "I don't care what you meant. Just stay out of my way from now on, or you'll regret it."Luna ran off, sobbing uncontrollably, and Orion soon found her and asked her what had happened. When Luna told him, he became upset and ran off to find me. When he found me, he told me what had happened and I immediately went to find Irene."Irene, we need to talk," I said firmly, my eyes blazing with anger."What do you want?" Irene snapped, her hand resting protectively on her pregnant belly."I want to know why you slapped my daughter," I replied, trying to keep my voice calm."She got in my way, and I warned her to stay out of it," Irene replied, her voice dripping with disdain."That's not an excuse to hit a child," I said, my voice rising. "You could have hurt her. She's just a little girl.""She should know better than to get in my way," Irene said coldly. "I don't have time for her childish games.""She's just a child!" I exclaimed, my anger getting t
Betrothed To The Rogue King   True colours
"I'm sorry," I said again, my voice breaking. "I never meant to hurt you. I love you both so much."Luna and Orion clung to me tightly, their tears soaking my hospital gown. I could feel the warmth of their bodies, the beating of their hearts, and I knew that I never wanted to lose them again.As we sat there, huddled together in my hospital bed, I realized just how much I had to be grateful for. Despite my struggles, I still had the love and support of my children, my family, and my friends. And as I looked at Luna and Orion's tear-streaked faces, I knew that I had to do everything in my power to make things right."I promise to do better," I said, my voice thick with emotion. "I promise to fight my addiction and be the best mother I can be."Luna looked up at me, her eyes wide with hope. "You mean it, Mommy?""I do," I replied firmly. "I'm going to get better for you and your brother. I want to be here for all the good moments, to watch you grow up and become the amazing people I kn

I lay in the hospital bed, feeling alone and ashamed, and I knew that I had to face my husband and own up to my mistakes. I couldn't continue to hide from him, couldn't continue to avoid the consequences of my actions.As he walked into the room, I could see the anger in his eyes, the disappointment etched on his face. He stood beside my bed, his arms crossed over his chest, and I knew that I was in for a stern lecture.He spoke to me in a voice that was both stern and compassionate, reminding me of my responsibilities as his wife and as the Queen of our kingdom. He told me that my actions had consequences, not just for myself but for our entire kingdom, and that I needed to take responsibility for my mistakes.I listened to his words, feeling the weight of his disappointment bearing down on me. I knew that I had let him down, that I had failed in my duties as his wife and as a leader in our kingdom.But even as he spoke, I could see the love and concern in his eyes, and I knew that h
