Contracted marriage with the Alpha Prince Aftermath
In the midst of a heated exchange, George, his voice thundering with authority, berated Henrietta for her meddling ways, accusing her of driving both Killian and Mellisa to the brink of destruction with her relentless interference. "You've gone too far this time, Henrietta! Your incessant meddling has brought nothing but chaos to our family," he exclaimed, his frustration palpable.Henrietta, undeterred by George's reproach, fired back with a sharp retort. "Lane is nothing but a commoner, a mere opportunist," she countered, her tone laced with disdain. "Once Killian ascended to his rightful position as alpha, she'd do nothing but leech off the Anderson name, offering little in return."“And when did you decided that?” “The moment I saw her.” As George shook his head in disbelief, he brandished a stack of papers before Henrietta, each page filled with damning information meticulously gathered through his own investigations. "You're wrong, Henrietta. Dead wrong," he asserted, his voic

"Yeah, blame it on Hannah. Classic move, Collin."Jenny, clearly unimpressed, crossed her arms. "Let me guess, this gift basket is supposed to win Mel back?"Collin, looking slightly embarrassed, held out the gift basket as if it were a sacred offering. "It's just a small gesture to show how sorry I am."Jenny inspected the basket with exaggerated curiosity. "Is there a 'Sorry for Betraying You' card in there, too?"Collin, took a step forward, determined to make his case."It's not all my fault, you know?" Collin protested, his tone a mixture of defensiveness and self-pity. "Both sides contributed to the downfall of our relationship. It's not fair to put all the blame on me."Jenny, the unofficial judge and jury in this impromptu court session, raised an eyebrow in response. She locked eyes with Collin, her expression saying, "Let's hear it then."Collin, searching for the right words, continued, "Mel neglected me. She was always busy with her jobs and her mom's surgery. I had needs,

As Killian paced the room, his anxiety practically radiated off him like heat waves in the desert. I couldn't help but chuckle at his nervous energy. "Hey there, jittery groom-to-be," I called out teasingly, watching as he made another lap around the suite.He shot me a sheepish grin, running a hand through his tousled hair. "Can't seem to sit still, you know?"I raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "Really? I hadn't noticed," I deadpanned, earning a playful eye roll from him.Richard, Killian's loyal assistant and beta, entered the room, carrying a thick stack of papers. "The marriage contract, as requested," he announced, placing the documents on the table.Killian's eyes widened at the sight of the papers, his nerves kicking into overdrive. "Right, the contract," he muttered, fidgeting with the edge of his suit jacket.I shot him a reassuring smile, reaching out to take his hand. "Hey, it's okay. We've got plenty of time before the ceremony. Let's sit down and go through this toge

Meanwhile, the astute Lauren, Killian's cousin, observed the scene with a wry smile, choosing to remain silent. She had seen her fair share of family disputes, and this particular disagreement seemed to amuse her more than anything.Just as the tension reached its peak, Dana Serpentine, with her signature enigmatic smile, sauntered over, a hint of sarcasm lingering in her gaze. "Well, well, what do we have here?"Dana couldn't help but recall the days when Killian, now entangled with an outsider, had been a frequent visitor to her home, captivated by her older sister, Annstasia. The shift in his affections left Dana feeling a twinge of resentment. Killian, aware of Dana's gaze, tried to diffuse the tension. "Lady Serpentine, it's not what it seems. My mother has these outdated traditions, and I'm just trying to make sense of it all."Dana, ever the composed observer, arched an eyebrow. "Outdated traditions, you say? I thought Andersons prided themselves on their adherence to traditio

The ladies, with a sense of purpose, encircled her like a council of elders, ready to share their accumulated wisdom.Aunt Mildred, known for her sassy wit, couldn't resist a cheeky remark. "Dear, you've got a handful with Killian. He's a strong-willed one, that boy. But don't worry, we'll teach you the tricks to handle him."Mellisa, with a mischievous glint in her eye, responded, "I'll take all the advice I can get."Grandma Elsie chuckled, "Smart girl! Now, first lesson – how to deal with Killian's stubbornness. You'll need a blend of patience and a well-timed eye roll. Works like a charm."Aunt Mildred chimed in, "And never forget the power of a good meal. Cook him a hearty meal, and you'll have his undying loyalty."Mellisa nodded, taking mental notes. "Cooking, huh? I can manage that."The conversation continued, each lady offering their unique insights. Aunt Prudence share

The grand doors creaked open, and I couldn't help but feel like I had just stepped into a time machine. A person, dressed like a living statement from three or four centuries ago, announced my presence with a flourish. I fought the urge to roll my eyes at the dramatic entrance and fixed my gaze on the elevated altar, where Killian stood.Just a few hours ago, I was snug in bed, dreaming of pancakes and telling my mother about my breakfast plans for the next morning. Now, I was the star of a wedding, and all eyes were on me. The contrast was almost comical.My mother sat proudly in the front row, and her eyes sparkled with a mixture of emotions. I exchanged a quick, reassuring glance with her before turning my attention back to the ceremony. The air was thick with expectation and werewolf traditions, and I couldn't help but feel a tad out of place.Since werewolf weddings had their own set of rules, I was restricted in the number of guests I could invite. Aside from my trusted bridesma

The whispers of the crowd swirled around me, a cacophony of curiosity and speculation. Amidst the murmurs, a familiar voice broke through the chatter. Amidst the whispers and hushed conversations, a peculiar revelation rippled through the crowd like an unexpected twist in a theatrical performance. The spectators turned their heads, their curiosity piqued as they exchanged bewildered glances.Dany emerged from the gathering, wearing an expression that was almost too casual for the situation. She approached me."So, you married Killian Anderson and didn't think to mention it to me?" she asked, her tone filled with a mix of amusement and mock betrayal.I glanced at Dany, and had to do a double-take. She looked different, as if she had donned a disguise. "Dany, is that you?" I squinted at her.She rolled her eyes, the smirk still playing on her lips. "Who else would it be, Mellisa? Your long-lost sister?"I chuckled at her sarcasm. "Well, you never know. I've heard stranger things."Dany g
Contracted marriage with the Alpha Prince Alcohol made it happen
The raucous celebration echoed through the hall, the clinking of glasses and joyous laughter creating a lively symphony. Killian, surrounded by well-wishers, was being pulled into one toast after another. I watched as he raised his glass, his cheeks already flushed with the effects of the alcohol. A chorus of cheers followed each sip. Lauren approached me with a mischievous grin. "Mellisa, my dear, you can't be left out of the celebration. It's time for a toast!" She handed me a glass filled to the brim with some potent concoction, and I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the intensity of the liquid. I took the glass from her, eyeing the contents warily. "What's this, Lauren?" She chuckled, linking her arm through mine. "Oh, come on, Mellisa! It's just a little something to keep the party interesting. Trust me, you'll love it." With that, she led me into the midst of the revelry. As we approached the crowd, Jenny caught sight of us and bounded over with a twinkle in her eye. "Wh

At 9am, I received a call from Dany. Or one to be known as lady Dana Serpentine. She wanted to call me out for coffee. I enthusiastically agreed.The soft chime of the coffee shop's doorbell signaled my entrance, and I scanned the room until I spotted Dana Serpentine. Her smile was warm, welcoming, and I couldn't help but reciprocate as I approached her table."Dany," I exclaimed, giving her a light hug.She returned the embrace graciously. "Melissa, so glad you could make it. I hope you've been settling in well."I nodded, taking a seat across from her. "As well as one can, considering the circumstances."Dana chuckled, her eyes twinkling. "Oh I absolutely knows the Andersons. But it's good to see you out and about. We all need a break from the craziness every now and then."As we settled into conversation, I noticed the presence of two more figures beside Dana – Ramiel and little Seraphina. "Melissa, I'd like you to meet my kid brother and sister, again with proper introduction – R

The early morning sun had barely begun to paint the sky with hues of orange and pink when Killian's phone rang, jolting us awake from the cozy cocoon of our shared dreams. As he answered the call, the urgency in his voice mirrored the sudden shift in the atmosphere."Richard," Killian called out, glancing at me with a furrowed brow. "Duty calls. Dad needs me. Get ready, Mellisa."I groggily got out of bed, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. Richard, Killian's loyal beta and confidant, stood by the door ready for whatever lay ahead. There was a weight to the air, a heaviness that hung like a storm waiting to unleash its fury.We made our way to the family meeting, a place I had only heard about in hushed conversations and somber tones. I couldn't help but feel a shiver run down my spine.We entered the room, the dark wood-panelled walls seemed to close in on us. At the center, George Anderson, the patriarch, stood."Killian," George's voice trembled as he spoke, "sit down. We

I gazed at Killian, who was nursing his wounded pride with a generous swig of whiskey. The glass emptied in one go, and I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at his dramatic display of defiance. He looked like a scolded little puppy, eyes cast down, lips pursed in a pout that somehow managed to be both endearing and comical."You look sad," I teased, leaning against the nearest wall.Killian shot me a side-eyed glance, a mix of irritation and resignation in his ashy eyes. "You think I'm a sore loser, don't you?"I let out a dramatic gasp, placing a hand over my heart. "I never said such thing."He huffed, a small smile playing on his lips. "But I think so."I couldn't argue with that assessment. So I leaned closer. "You know, Killian, there's a way to find out if you're truly a sore loser or not."His eyebrows furrowed in curiosity. "And what might that be?"I grinned, grabbing his hand and examining his palm with exaggerated seriousness. "Palm reading, my dear. Your fate lies in the l

George's gaze narrowed on Killian, and without warning, a whip lashed through the air. Instinctively, Killian shielded his back, sparing me from the intended strike. The crack of the whip echoed in the silence, leaving an eerie aftermath.My eyes widened in shock, and I couldn't suppress a gasp. What the hell is going on here?Killian shot me a quick glance, silently urging me to stay composed. He knew I wasn't accustomed to the hierarchy.George, continued with a stern expression. "Killian, your recent actions have consequences."I couldn't fathom what actions they were referring to."Why don't you enlighten us on what these 'actions' are?" I retorted, my frustration seeping into my words.George turned his gaze toward me, his eyes narrowing. "This is pack business, not for outsiders to interfere."Outsider? That stung. I may not have been born into this world, but I had chosen to stand by Killian's side.Killian spoke up, "Father, she is my wife. Anything that concerns me concerns
Contracted marriage with the Alpha Prince The problem at hand
The crowd's attention shifted from the bullied girl to our confrontation, and whispers of anticipation spread like wildfire. Killian, realizing that this was a storm he couldn't control, opted for a supportive stance, ready to back me up if needed.I continued, my voice steady but loaded with a sarcasm that could cut through steel. "And let's not even get started on your definition of beauty. If I were you, I'd worry less about appearances and more about the state of your character. It seems to be suffering from a severe lack of decency."As Killian and I stood our ground, facing off against the mean-spirited teenagers who had targeted the little girl with Down syndrome, Killian leaned in and whispered a quick briefing in my ear."House Frank, these guys are the richest gold and oil traders in the country," he murmured, his expression serious. Just as I processed this new piece of information, a woman in her 30s, presumably Colette Frank as Killian had told me, stepped forward. Her d

A murmur rippled through the crowd as everyone exchanged curious glances. What could George be referring to? And who were these troublemakers he spoke of?"I want to make it clear," George continued, his voice firm, "that such behavior will not be tolerated."George continued his speech without mentioning Killian, leaving a conspicuous void in his narrative. My eyes narrowed as I exchanged a perplexed look with Killian. Something was amiss.The blonde-haired guy, radiating smugness, locked onto Killian, and a derisive smirk played on his lips. It was clear he took pleasure from George's speech.I leaned towards Killian and whispered, "Who's that guy, and why does he look like he just won the lottery of pettiness?""That's Damien."I raised an eyebrow. "Damien? I’ve never heard you speaking of him."Killian shook his head. George concluded his speech, the room erupted into applause. Killian and I stepped out of the great hall, Killian seemed disappointed. Of course. The night air was
Contracted marriage with the Alpha Prince I held onto the bow
We set up for the contest. Killian, ever the silent observer, stepped forward, a gleam of amusement in his eyes as he handed me a bow. It was a beautiful piece, crafted from silver wood and adorned with delicate carvings that seemed to shimmer in the moonlight. It was his own. "For you, my dear," he said, his voice laced with a playful undertone. "May the best archer win."My father owned a racecourse before everything else happened. I was raised on horseback. He loved his horses, so he taught me to ride every day. Archery was something I didn't need to pay to learn. A hundred yards from their abbey was designated for it. I grew up doing archery and riding horses; that's why I was so confident in performing stunt double scenes for medical films. I was not to lose to these boys.I glanced at Killian, a silent question in my eyes. He met my gaze with a reassuring nod, his confidence in me unwavering despite the odds stacked against us."Ready to show these boys how it's done?" he whi

My heart pounded as I found myself surrounded by the group of werewolf descendants, their menacing glares making it clear that this was not a friendly encounter. Richard shot me a signal that conveyed both concern and reassurance. Richard stepped forward, his posture radiating authority. "Let her go. We don't want any trouble."The leader of the pack chuckled menacingly. "Trouble found you, little beta."Before I could process what was happening, the situation escalated. The punch landed with a sickening thud, and Richard crumpled to the ground. I felt a surge of anger, but I knew I had to play it cool, at least for now.As they continued their assault on Richard, my mind raced, searching for an escape plan. This wasn't a situation I could sass my way out of. I needed a distraction, something to throw them off their game.I knew Richard'd be off to locate Killian and unleash the cavalry if necessary. But how to keep him alive for was the question. “You wanted to hang out with me, my
Contracted marriage with the Alpha Prince The boys
Amidst the vibrant and crowded party, I found myself surrounded by unfamiliar faces. The room pulsated with energy, and I could hear the classical music thumping in the background. Despite the lively atmosphere, I felt a bit lost in this sea of people.I surveyed the room, searching for a familiar face, none of which is a friend of mine. Panic started to bubble up as the realization hit me—I was on my own in a room filled with strangers. Everyone seemed to be engaged in lively conversations, greeting each other with a mysterious pound to the third left chest. It was like a secret code, and I was left out.To make matters worse, my supposed guide into this social labyrinth, Killian's mother, Mrs. Henrietta, was treating me as if I were invisible. I stood there, awkwardly trying to blend into the background, but it was clear that I was a mere spectator in this grand social spectacle.The woman hated me. A lot. I shot a quick glance at Killian, who appeared to be thoroughly engrossed in
