“There’s something else, and I’m curious to know what it is.” His face inched closer to my neck, and he inhaled deeply. My grip on my purse tightened, my heart pounding against my chest as I fought the urge to whimper and curl into his chest. ‘He doesn’t know. He couldn’t possibly know. There’s no way.’ I repeated in my mind. “There’s something about you that entrances me, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.” “If this is an attempt to coax me into accepting your proposal, you’re wasting your time. I will not marry you.” ~ ‘Alphas are heartless and egoistic creatures. They view us, omegas, as mere playthings for their twisted desires. You must never, under any circumstances, associate yourself with an alpha. It’s better to be dead than to cross paths with one.’ Those words were Arielle’s guiding principle in a ruthless world where Alphas dominated, Betas served, and Omegas—despite their intimate connection with the Alphas—were treated as nothing more than objects of desire. But when Alpha Raphael materializes out of thin air and offers her a substantial sum of money to be his contractual bride, Arielle is torn between holding onto her beliefs and sacrificing them to save her ailing mother. Arielle is left with no choice but to marry him, and although she is determined to harbor animosity towards her new spouse, there’s something about him that draws her in. However, when demonic creatures hellbent on destruction threaten her new life, will Arielle put her resentment towards Raphael aside and assist him? And what dark secret does her mother keep hidden that ensures the death of all her loved ones with each passing day?

Chapter 1

♡Arielle’s POV♡“You know you’re a beautiful girl, Arielle. I couldn’t help falling in love with you from the first time I saw you.” Jake’s beady, lust-clouded eyes stared at me, and his grubby, dirty hand rubbed my knee. I knew I should have worn jeans instead of a dress.“You met me when I was thirteen.” I said, the disgust in my voice and on my face was well hidden under my usual blank expression.“I know, it seems strange, but age is just a number, right?” He laughed as his fingers made their way a few inches up and played with the hem of my dress.‘Eww! Paedophile! And he doesn’t even have an iota of shame! What a pig!’ I tried not to crinkle my nose, and I gently as possible pushed his hand from my knee. I knew Jake had some weird attraction to me, but I didn’t expect him to be this perverted. Eww! Just eww!“So, can you lend me the money? You can be deducting fifty percent of my salary till my debt is paid off.” I diverted the conversation to the reason that made me sit with hi

Chapter 2

♦Raphael’s POV♦I couldn’t keep my eyes off her, the beautiful young lady sitting at the bar and talking with an older man. There was something about her that was so… captivating.The way she sat, the way she talked, the way she moved… She was out of place in the bar, but her confidence and grace didn’t falter… It was interesting. And distracting. Too distracting.I had a mission. I needed to find someone. That was why I had left my territory to Shadowmere, wore an amulet that suppressed my Alpha aura, and came to the perfect place to get information. A shady bar in a lawless town.And though the lives of my people depended on me getting the information, my attention was being stolen by a woman who didn’t even bat an eye my way. It was quite infuriating, but it also made me curious about her.It seemed her conversation with the man was turning sour as her face crinkled with disgust. I didn’t need to earsdrop to know he was trying to get under her skirt, and she was irritated, as was I

Chapter 3

♡Arielle’s POV♡‘Ugh! Why does my head hurt so bad?’ I groaned, rubbing my temples as I dragged my weary body to sit up. My head ached like I had continuously slammed it against the wall before I had gone to sleep.‘I need water,’ I tried throwing my legs over the edge of my bed so I could stand up, but instead, they just fell on more bed, which was odd. My bed was tiny, barely containing me, and yet what I was on did, and was softer too.My eyes finally fluttered open, and my breath hitched as I took in my environment.‘This isn’t my room!’ I gasped and rubbed my eyes, trying to clear the illusion sleep gave me. I opened them again, and nothing changed.Instead of seeing my dingy, tiny, cramped room with an ugly faded brown wallpaper that Brielle and I shared, I was in a simple yet fancy one that looked like I was in a hotel.‘How?! How did I get here?! I was in the bar with Jake. He asked me to sleep with him for money, and I refused. I wanted to go, but he called me back. I took a

Chapter 4

♡Arielle’s POV♡‘His wife?! He wants me, a woman he has never met before, to be his wife?!’I gaped at him, waiting for him to tell me that that was his attempt at a joke to break the thick tension in the room but his face remained serious.‘Why would he want me, a stranger, to be his wife? Does he suspect that I’m an omega?’ I shuddered at that thought and threw it away. If he knew I was, he wouldn’t be asking me; he would be commanding me. I wouldn’t have a choice even if I didn’t want to.“You want me to be your wife?” I broke the prolonged silence, repeating his statement so he could hear the absurdity of it from my mouth if he couldn’t in his.“Yes. I want you to be my contract wife.” He replied, his voice as serious as it was the first time.‘What kind of sick game is this?’ I glared at him. That was the only reason he would ask me that. It was a cruel joke to mock my predicament.Typical Alpha behaviour, turning anything that didn’t affect them into a joke. He knew I was despe

Chapter 5

♦Raphael’s POV♦ The door slammed shut, and the smile on my lips grew broader. ‘And I thought saving her was a bad idea. She just keeps getting interesting and interesting.’ I flopped on the bed and stared at the ceiling. I liked her feisty yet cool spirit. She knew I was an Alpha, and I smelled her fear and panic, yet she stood her ground and didn’t cower away. She wasn’t afraid of expressing herself when most would tremble in fear. I liked that. She was going to make the perfect wife, worthy of standing beside me as my Luna, even though it would only be for five years. I was going to make sure she was. I slid my phone out of my pocket and dialled my lawyer’s office. “Good morning, Alpha.” Mr. Cain’s voice came through at the third ring. “Good morning. I would like you to draft a contract for me.” I said. “It’s for my five-year contract marriage.” “Your contract marriage?” He replied; his usual monotone voice had a surprised edge, and I grinned. Was I impulsive and acting overco

Chapter 6

♡Arielle’s POV♡The soft ding of the bell rang as I stepped into the small café. The delicious aroma of fresh bread and baked treats wafted through the air, and my mouth watered and my stomach gurgled in response. Coming to the café was both a blessing and torture. I loved anything baked—cakes, cookies, buns—and seeing them made me happy but also made me sad because I was too broke to afford anything. The last time I ate cake was when Brielle and I turned eighteen, six years ago, when mom wasn’t sick and we weren’t in debt. But with our current predicament, even bread was considered a luxury we couldn't afford.“Hello, welcome to— oh Arielle, it’s you.” May, Agnes’ granddaughter, said from her place behind the counter. “Here for your box of chocolate cookies?”To anybody else, a box of chocolate cookies met exactly what they were: a box of chocolate cookies, but not really. Only a few knew the true nature of the owner and the store, and they used codes to make special requests when o

Chapter 7

♡Arielle’s POV♡ “I’m home.” I announced my arrival, swinging the door home and stepping into my very humble abode. “Finally,” Brielle jumped off the worn-out couch and turned to me. Her arms were crossed over her chest, and a small frown tugged on her lips. “Where were you? I called you about a million times, but you didn’t pick up. Mom and I were worried something terrible had happened to you. Do you know how far my mind had gone? I was afraid you were kidnapped or worse.” “As you can see, I’m fine. I wasn’t drugged, kidnapped, and enslaved by a mafia Alpha who forced me to be his pet and do his bindings.” I joked, throwing myself on the couch, and I stretched my body. Her frown deepened, and the corner of my lips twitched to a smile, knowing I had successfully predicted what she was thinking. Brielle was my identical twin, after all—two bodies, one soul. We were identical, yet unidentical. We looked the same; we had the same amber eyes, coily brown hair, and caramel skin, but I

Chapter 8

♡Arielle’s POV♡“Any luck?” Brielle asked as I walked into our room. She looked up from the homework she was grading, and she grimaced at my terrible countenance. “Not good, huh?”“Yes, not good. Finding a job is harder than I thought.” I sighed, throwing my bag to one side of my bed and crashing down on it too.I knew getting a new job would be hard, but I never expected it to be extremely difficult.“After spending all day jumping from one building to another, all I received was ‘we are sorry, but we don’t have any vacancies’ or ‘you don’t have the experience we’re looking for’ or ‘we’ll get back to you’ when they knew they wouldn’t. It’s so frustrating. How am I going to get experience if no one will hire me?” I complained, lying on my back, and I shut my eyes.“And do you know what makes the entire situation even more frustrating and annoying? It’s the fact that most of those jobs are at the end going to go to some already preselected persons, whether or not they deserve it becaus

Chapter 9

♡Arielle’s POV♡‘I just want to go home, sleep, and forget everything that ever happened today.’ I sighed, leaning my head on the window of the cab as the driver drove through the dark road. Day three of searching for a new job turned out to be more futile and frustrating than the previous ones. At least the people I met those days had the usual professional politeness, but the set I met seemed to be demons out to get me. All through the day, I interacted with people with different levels of attitude and hauntiness. Their snarky mouth had no filter and let out snide and demeaning comments almost as freely as they breathed. It was irritating and tiring to keep my cool and remain polite and composed. I needed to. Too many things were at stake to act rude and snap because someone else was being a pain.My mom’s condition had gotten worse. It seemed she had gotten better since the Jake incident, but it spiked up again before I left home in the morning. The drugs that were making her cond

Chapter 10

♡Arielle’s POV♡“I’m glad you could make it, Miss Wilson.” Raphael said, his lips curled to a small, cocky smile as the waiter and I arrived at the table reserved for us.“I wish I could say the same, but I can’t. I’m only here because I’m desperate.” I said plainly, not hiding how I felt as I sat down and took a good look at him.Something was different about him. His alpha pheromones weren’t as strong as I remembered; I still felt the connection, but the alpha aura he gave off before was almost nonexistent. For that moment, he seemed like an ordinary Beta—well, almost. He tried to look the part by wearing a simple, plain shirt and jacket. Dark shades covered his eyes, and his platinum-blond hair was tousled and let down to cover part of his face.Even with what he did, they only helped to tone down his good looks a bit, and he still radiated confidence that not many Betas in Shadowmere had.He tried so hard to blend in, but though no one would be able to tell he was an Alpha, anyone
