All Chapters of Beta's Contracted Wife: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

This was business, she needed to carry on with her part as convincing as it could ever be. Penelope blew a strand of black hair that fell over her face and tucked it behind her ear, before taking casual strides.She was wearing a cream long sleeve gown with a tight-fitting waist that pushed outward her creamy bosoms. Her hair was braided in a loose fish braid. She didn't dress to cause an impression so she appeared fresh-faced in the sun God's Temple, without any makeup on.Penelope cursed under her breath as she walked towards Quinlan who was of course waiting for her with an elder in front. He was clad in a plain-high-necked long sleeve that was covered in a long coat. His beefy thighs were in white leggings that were accompanied by breeches. The lad was heavily built, and his perpetually hardened face didn't deny the fact that he was good-looking with his sand-blonde hair packed up in a ponytail.Penelope didn't mind the looks she was receiving from the few people gathered in the t

When the carriage stopped at Quinlan's castle, Quinlan made his way out and was going to Penelope's side to help her out, to his surprise she was already outside, whirling her head around with the most intriguing mouth he had ever seen.For several moments he studied her, wondered why he even stared at her lips more than normal, the half-full moon gave it this delightful-"You came to help me out of the carriage?" Her voice snapped him from his thoughts and he clenched his jaw for losing his concentration on her."You're too kind, my lord," she offered him a smile and then hooked her arm around his."Castle looks magnificent, can you please lead the way?" Penelope arched a brow at him and he immediately cleared his throat before he found himself lost in basking in her flowery scent for a moment. The way they bounced in the carriage earlier was doing no justice to his mind, however, the face that kept appearing was Cecile's because she was the only woman he ever slept with."Right, let

It was dawn when Quinlan left his study and headed for his room. He spent the rest of the early hours sleeping there because it was safer than sharing his room with a wild, wild woman. Although he had sustained a bit of neck pain.On reaching the door, he hesitated before knocking, somewhat on alert because he didn't want to see what he wasn't prepared for. Who knows if she was naked, waiting for him by this time? He just could not trust her anymore, after last night.Releasing a puff of breath, he knocked some more, pausing to respond to the greetings of his female servants who were cleaning the hallway and dusting cobwebs off the windows and every other thing that required dusting.Quinlan wondered why there was no response from Penelope. He took hold of the doorknob and pushed the door gently, trying to peep through the small opening of the door. His maids exchanged weird glances, wondering why he was behaving that way when it was his room."Penelope?" Quinlan called out as he popp

Quinlan thinned his lips and then heaved deeply as he watched Penelope's face squeeze into a frown. He needed to be calm and watch his tone so as not to upset Penelope even more."I'm afraid I will not permit you to do that here. Stooping low to do the work of servants wasn't what we bargained for even though I didn't include it in the contract terms. Let the servants do their job, that's what I hired them for," he stated matter of factly as he drank his tea."But I cannot stay idle, if I'm not riding a man's dick then my hands should be busy with something else."Quinlan coughed his tea upon hearing this from Penelope."Sorry, my lord," she was already on his side, pushing a glass of water in his hand. How fast she had flown from her chair to his was something worth questioning, but he held the glass of water and beat his chest."You shouldn't speak while having liquid going into your oesophagus," came her soft instruction.Quinlan coughed some more before drinking the water."Do you

"Here," they were inside the carriage when Quinlan handed her his hankie."I'm very much okay," Penelope reproved him and fixed her gaze on the window as the carriage moved. She didn't even accept what he lent her out of pity.Quinlan examined the side of her face, the claw bruise was still so fresh and she was lucky it missed her eye, else she would've been blind. He wanted to go in and contribute his own beating to the bastard who hurt her that way, but his under butler had already done the job.The fact that she appeared unfazed after being hurt like that, baffled him. But he sort of felt sorry for her."What are you doing? I told you I'm fine," Penelope almost raised her voice because Quinlan had his hankie dabbing the blood off her face, "I'll heal within twenty-four hours," she added but she didn't push his hand away. Instead, she let him."That's too long, I heal within three hours when I'm injured," he revealed."That's because you're the Beta of our pack,""True."And they lo
