Shamsiya frowned, and rudely yanked out her hands of the stranger's grasp. Taking back a few steps, she stared him down with a dissatisfied expression. "Excuse me Mr. whoever you are, but I don't believe I know you." She spat, and glared angrily at her scumbag husband. "Is this another one of your buyers? Did you already sell me off before I even returned?""What? No!" Nick was flabbergasted. "Didn't you recognize him? He's Bennet Fecker!" Sell her off? To Bennet Fecker? This man was clearly her high school standby lover. How could he...He stilled, then narrowed his eyes. His wife's eyes were filled with confusion, and she looked at him as if he lost his mind."Bennet Fecker...and I'm supposed to know him...how exactly?"She didn't know him. Truly and absolutely didn't know him.Nick heard a ring in his ears. He fell back a step as his friend's words from last week resurfaced in his mind.'...I never talked to her, never interacted with her or confessed my feelings. Hell! Considering
Due to the decrease in population, there were a lot more women than men in the current period. Pack Alpha's encouraged the male population to reproduce, which meant sowing their seed in any female they felt an attraction to until they marked a chosen mate or their true soulmate entered their lives.Shamsiya, being Nick Jackson's chosen mate, had been begging the Alpha of the Black Fang Pack to hold their marking ceremony for two years without any success. This confused her before, as once a couple signed the marriage certificate, they had a right to a marking ceremony.But after Nick Jackson sold her, she had an inkling of what must have happened. While she had been desperate to bear his mark, the scumbag probably despised her to the point of revulsion, and went behind her back to speak with the alpha.As a hybrid, her status was lower than the lowest omega in the pack. Combined with the fact that she couldn't mark him because of her hybrid bloodline when he marked her, Shamsiya suspe
The pack members instantly pricked their ears. Their heated gazes swiveled between the two women as they sensed drama about to unfold. "I'm not suitable? In the entire Black Fang, there is no witch more powerful and honorable than me. By saying I'm unsuitable, are you aware you're questioning my abilities?" Her words were cold, her eyes even frostier.The displeasure in the witch's voice was unconcealable, causing Sydney to pause. Her gaze inadvertently fell on Nick Jackson, and the hybrid's words rang in her ears.'As you said, Nick sold me and is now a millionaire. Everyone wants to be with him, including the witch of the Black Fang Valley. While I was gone...I suspect they might've been intimate.'That's right. Nick Jackson was now a millionaire. He had already sold Shamsiya. Now that he had wealth, why would he rush into marking the one he sold, if the witch wasn't on his side?So this marking ceremony must be a sham. If she exposed Margrette for who she was...A sneer stretched
For a brief moment, Shamsiya pondered this strange situation in contemplative silence, then carelessly shrugged her shoulders. She didn't care what the two were smoking. Whether they wailed or cackled, it was their business. As for her...she was finally free!"Why...? Shamsiya, I know I didn't treat you well before. But I realized my mistake. I really wanted to treat you better this time!" Staggering to his feet, Nick Jackson clenched his fists and questioned her with an anger glare. "Why didn't you give me a chance?" Shamsiya stared at him as if she was looking at a fool. "Must I forgive you, just because you realized your mistake? You might not know this, but to survive and maintain my chastity, I stabbed myself and killed living, breathing people like weeds on the roadside. Forgive you?" She turned and strode off the platform. In the shadow of her receding back, her gloomy chuckle reverberated in the silent atmosphere, leaving her frosty words to echo in the ears of the gathered c
"Kicking me out?" The man was stunned. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him with incomprehension, as if she was speaking an alien language. Then releasing a long sigh, he helplessly shook his head, "You must be out of your mind. You can't kick me out of my house!""Heh. Actually, I can." Shamsiya chuckled and moved closer to the door. She didn't want to give the scumbag a chance to take half a foot inside. "In accordance with the terms on the Divorce Documents, I have sole ownership of every property you bought with my money. This house may be in your name, but don't forget you bought it with the money I saved to get a degree. If you have a problem accepting it, you're free to knock on the Alpha's door."Nick staggered back in shock, a memory he had vehemently buried in the recess of his mind coming to the surface at this moment. After graduating high school, his adopted parents made it clear they wouldn't be housing him anymore. He had no place to sleep, and w
Iblis wanted to kill her. Before meeting this woman, he never felt so shamed and disgraced. The entire supernatural world knew she was his wife, his Demon Queen. The one and only woman whose name was entered in the book of Supernatural Union with his.And yet, she wasn't in the least concerned of how negatively her actions reflected on him. Shamsiya struggled against the grip on her throat. She scratched and pulled on the demon's hand, while wheezing and coughing her lungs out. It was at times like this that she wished she had werewolf strength. No matter how hard she clawed at the vice grip, the man didn't budge because she was too weak to inflict any damage on him.Her eyes burned behind her closed lids, and as she felt the aura of death, she wondered why she had even been fighting. Knowing how unlucky she was, how could she ever imagine she could live a different life after divorcing Nick Jackson?She wasn't destined for happiness. Not before, and apparently, never.Releasing a re
Iblis shook his head. "No, you either pay me back right now, or go back with me." He didn't want money. He had enough to last him ten generations. What he wanted...was her."I don't have any money right now. Give me a month, and I promise I'll return the full amount. If you force me...well, you already know I'm a woman who isn't afraid of death." She stared at him with a cold expression that sent a chill down his spine.Recalling the time she stabbed herself, Iblis froze, then cursed under his breath. Everything about this woman was attractive. Her violet-silver eyes, her wavy ink-black mane, and her luring body that boiled his blood. Everything, except for her fearless personality.Though it was just as appealing when he first met her, Iblis wished she didn't have the courageous trait at this moment."One week. That's all I'm giving you. If you fail to return the three-hundred dollars in one week, you'll willingly return to the Demon Kingdom with me. Deal?" He asked, watching her fac
At the sound of the door closing, Shamsiya weakly sagged to the floor.What three hundred thousand? The bastard had enough money to buy a country. What he wanted wasn't the measly sum. He was after something else, but what?Her lips tingled, and the memory of their earlier kiss returned to her in a shuddering wave. Shamsiya buried her face between her knees. Her heart frantically pounded in her ears. He kissed her.Though aggressive and rough, the fucking demon of the scary stories actually kissed her. What was he thinking? Did he do it because he thought she slept with Nick Jackson, and hence, didn't deserve him lowering his head and asking for her permission? Was he scornful, angry or...did he...have feelings for her?As suddenly as this thought appeared in her mind, her lips quirked up in a mocking sneer. He had already made it crystal clear. She was still his property. How could any decent male develop feelings for a female they deemed lower than a servant-especially when the fem
