Anastasia never thought she would find herself in a bar on the night before her wedding day! Well, expect the unexpected because she never expected seeing her fiance on the bed with her step-sister! But if Anastasia thinks that's the end—she is wrong! Because Anastasia found herself on a marriage contract, and worse to the man her father hated and rivaled— Alpha Xavier Adam Calixto. Two souls who are bounded but hidden by the dark magic... Is it fated or destined? Will they find the truth or will they succumb to the lies?

Chapter 2 Best Idea

For some reason, I found Maine's fierce suggestion amusing, and a ripple of laughter ran through me from her direction."That would be a bit messy, Maine. I think a good rejection should do the trick," I giggled."Maybe take a man home with you tonight and repay the favor," Maine smirked."Maine!" I protested, feeling the warmth from the wine deepen as my ears grew hotter.Before long, a pressing need to visit the toilet arose. Navigating the maze-like corridors of private rooms and offices, I stumbled into what I assumed was the ladies' room.As I adjusted my dress and sat down in a stall, the sound of footsteps entering the room made me stifle a giggle. The alcohol had indeed taken effect. Although my kind typically boasted a strong tolerance, the Merlyn witches had certainly perfected their line of fortified wines.I swayed slightly as I stood and turned to flush, freezing at the distinct sounds of two male voices carrying into the room."Alpha, I know you don't want to discuss thi

Chapter 3 Unexpected Agreement

Alvin nearly choked on his own breath and spluttered, while Alpha Calixto struggled to hide a grin at my candidness."Um... okay. So, as per Alpha Calixto's standard requirements, you'll live with him at the Bloody Crescent Pack house and fulfill the duties of Luna for no less than five years. Is that acceptable?" Alvin asked, recovering but still apprehensive.I nodded demurely."You will also be required not to disclose any information regarding this contract or the Alpha's curse to anyone. Violating this condition will result in swift and severe consequences. Understood?"I nodded, unperturbed. "That's fine by me. However, I do have a few requests of my own."Alpha Calixto's eyes narrowed slightly as he regarded me. What demands might I place on him? He braced himself for exorbitant requests, maintaining his calm demeanor while he waited for me to continue."You can ask," Alvin said, his tone non-committal, gesturing for me to proceed.I took a deep breath and offered a gentle smil

Chapter 4 Like mother Like daughter

After my discussion with Alpha Calixto and his Beta, I headed straight for home. I chose to avoid the main streets as much as possible, wary of accidentally encountering anyone along the way.I cursed myself internally as I hurried through the dimly lit alleys. How could I have been so reckless? Not only would I likely become the subject of gossip over the coming weeks, but I had also managed to inadvertently bind myself to one of the most feared and notorious Alphas in our community. That sobering thought was enough to clear my mind almost instantly.As I navigated the expansive grounds and slipped into my home, I closed the side entrance door as quietly as possible, keen not to draw attention to my late arrival.Voices filled with laughter echoed from one of the drawing rooms as I crept by. My face hardened when I recognized the familiar voices of my stepsister and stepmother, along with the occasional comment from my father.A painful twist gripped my heart as the realization sank

Chapter 5 Her stupid jealousy

"Sister? Have you lost your mind, Father? My mother only had one child," I sneered, casting a disdainful glance at Nerissa and Eve."You know, there's a saying that fits perfectly here... 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' It describes both Nerissa and Eve, wouldn't you agree? Her mother seduced my father and shattered his mate's heart, and now her daughter is aiming for the same. Ironic, isn't it?" I continued heatedly, my face shadowed by contempt.A cold silence fell over the hallway as my father, Nerissa, and Eve stood frozen in shock. For years, I had kept silent, but with my life on the cusp of a major change, there was no need to maintain the pretense any longer.The stunned silence lasted only a few seconds before my father erupted in fury, shouting incoherently as Eve and Nerissa struggled to calm him down. I watched their frantic attempts with an emotionless detachment. It was about time they faced a few hard truths."Anastasia, that's enough! You've gone too far! J

Chapter 6 Call off the wedding

I awoke with a jolt, startled by the relentless vibration of my phone on the bedside table. My heart was pounding wildly, rattled by the sudden disturbance from my sleep. I fumbled around in a daze, trying to locate the annoying device with my blurry vision.Finally, my fingers closed around the familiar surface of my phone, and I hastily checked the caller ID. The name of my cheating ex, Brent, flashed across the screen. Narrowing my eyes, I pressed the reject button, tossing the phone aside and flopping back onto the bed. The display showed 32 missed calls and a stream of messages across SMS and social media from him. I snorted derisively.Turning my head to the side, I scanned my room. A wry smile crept onto my face when my gaze landed on the crumpled wedding dress in the corner. I was supposed to be getting married today... a day I had dreamed of and meticulously planned for years, shattered in mere moments.My phone vibrated noisily in my hand again, displaying yet another call f

Chapter 7 My father's enemy

"But... but... the alliance..." my father stammered anxiously."There's no reason it can't be secured with Eve taking my place. Brent will never be king, but considering both his and Eve's deceitful nature—as proven by their actions—and his treatment of his fated mate, I doubt the Council of Elders would approve of his ascension to the throne anyway," I smirked, turning to leave."Wait! Anastasia... where are you going?" my father called, genuine concern coloring his voice.I smiled bitterly, turning to face him one last time."I've made other arrangements. They shouldn't impact you much, but I'll be gone for a few years. I may come back to collect my things, or I might send someone in my stead. Either way, take care of yourself, Father. I'll see you when I return... if I return..."With a final sharp glance at the sound of my father's protests and Nerissa's shrill reprimands directed at Eve, I made my way swiftly to my car. Once the door closed behind me, the fierce exterior shattere

Chapter 8 Breaking news

I arrived at the café we had chosen before Leah did. I secured a table by the window, ready for some casual people-watching, and ordered a chai tea while I waited. Although the weather hadn't fully shifted into the autumnal season I loved, the rich aroma of the milky chai tea evoked a homey, almost Christmassy sensation. Secretly, I was panicking. I had left my home to move in with a man I knew only by reputation and was about to M him for the next five years. I craved the security that the feeling of home provided, and the memories that the smell of chai tea stirred were the closest I would ever get to feeling my mother's comforting embrace again.I was acutely aware of the glances from other café patrons, which made me slightly uncomfortable. Just then, I spotted Leah jumping out of a taxi through the window, hurrying inside.She stood in the doorway, squinting as her striking golden eyes scanned the faces rapidly until they found mine. Her face broke into a huge grin, and she wave

Chapter 9 Everything is set

I chuckled. "Let's eat first, Leah. I'm starving. Let's order, and I'll fill you in on everything."As we ate, I explained how my chance meeting with the notorious alpha came about. I was careful not to mention the curse on him or the unknown threat he faced, but I felt comfortable sharing at least this much with Leah. I intended to take the secret to my grave if needed, rather than betray those I considered family.When we finished our meal, Leah sat back contemplatively, massaging her stomach as she eyed the desserts on display at the counter with greed."You can't possibly have room for more!" I exclaimed incredulously."Is that a challenge?" Leah gasped with mock horror. "Because it sounds very much like a challenge. Very well! I accept," she declared, answering her own question as she stood and hurried over to choose a dessert.I snorted loudly as I rummaged through my bag, trying to find my phone, which was ringing incessantly. I had forgotten to silence the ringer, and once aga

Chapter 10 Free from him

Brent growled quietly, turning his head slowly as he felt the weight of numerous narrowed gazes on him. He took a deep breath, rolling his shoulders to release tension and running a hand through his hair. Though the fury still smoldered in his eyes, he seemed to have his aggression under tighter rein."Listen, about Eve..." he began, his voice strained, but Leah cut him off with a raised hand."I don't care about your excuses, and I'm certain Anastasia doesn't want to hear them either," she snapped."Anastasia, please... just hear me out!" Brent pleaded, twisting slightly to try and catch my eye.'I think we should listen to what he has to say,' Maine suggested thoughtfully.'Seriously? You want to hear him out?' I shot back in disbelief.'Yes. Then I can decide precisely how much pain I want to inflict when I castrate both him and his cowardly wolf,' Maine snarled, baring her fangs.I sighed heavily and stood, placing a calming hand on Leah's shoulder. "It's okay, Leah. Maine wants t
