KARLA Three days had passed, and Alpha Killian still had not returned to the mansion. My worry for him grew by the hour, mingling with a gnawing fear that I had somehow done something wrong. Our wedding plans were falling into place, and he was supposed to be here, not elsewhere. I should have been relieved that he was not here to torment me, but instead, I was deeply unsettled. He had not even bothered answering or returning my calls. Jenny, however, kept assuring me that he was fine. I had grown closer to Jenny over these few days and noticed she was hiding something from everyone. She would always startle whenever someone walked in on her, and occasionally, she would zone out. When I inquired about it, she would just wave it off or laugh it away. Strangely enough, Colby was also nowhere to be found, making me suspect that something unknown and imminent was looming. I despised this uneasy feeling. My phone rang abruptly, pulling me from my thoughts. I rushed to the nightstand a

KARLA Wedding gown, veil, flowers, makeup. It seemed I was staring at someone else in the mirror. It is my wedding day. I lowered my gaze as nervousness kicked in at the realization that this was really happening. I was getting married to Killian Cabello. The Almighty Alpha of Maryland. Fake or not, my life has changed forever. Even if we go our separate ways later, I will always be known as Alpha Killian's ex-wife or his baby mama. No one will see me beyond that, because beyond that, I was just an Omega who was hauled into a loveless marriage because of a debt. We remained silent as Jennifer did the finishing touches on my face. The door flung open, and Ana came in, looking all bright and ecstatic. "You look beautiful," she commented and wrapped her arms around me from behind. I managed a simple smile and was unable to meet her eyes in the mirror so that she would not discover the truth. "Thank you," I replied, turning away from the mirror, and faci

KILLIAN I could not rest from seeing Chase at my wedding. I wanted to know why he was here. I do not remember inviting him, but since he is an Alpha, the bouncers would let him in if he wanted to come. I sent Karla away, once the wedding was over. I made sure she was in the helicopter going to The Cabellos vacation house, where we would be staying for our honeymoon. Jenny had insisted on going there with Karla, to make sure she was comfortable and settled in well and I appreciated it. I slowly made my way towards Chase who was carrying on like nothing was amiss. He was speaking and laughing with his goons while drinking my wine. Angelo, my best friend, was good for nothing. He was busy chatting with nicely dressed women to reckon my predicament. Once I got closer to Chase, he started leaving the room, pretending not to have seen me. I quickly followed, catching Jenny’s eyes as I exited the room. 'Do not let my wife out of your sight,' I told her through mind-link, and she nodded

KARLA Jenny stood there staring in the mirror with a tear-stricken face. However, it was not her tears that made me crumble inwardly; it was the baldness of her head. Jenny was completely bald. My legs stayed glued to the ground; I could not go back nor come in further as uncontrollable tears streamed down my cheeks. Jenny sniffed and wiped her eyes with the back of her palm. “Well…will you stand there all day and look at me, or will you come in here and get what you want?” she asked, not turning to look at me. “Jenny,” I cried, walking towards her and enveloping her in a warm embrace. She held me back and let her emotions overcome her once more. We wept together for a while before she pulled away from me. I was not sure I had cried this bitterly in my life before. My chest was heavy, and she was not even my relative. Jenny was a strong woman. She helped me sit on her bed and consoled me until I got a grip on myself. I have wanted to cry this long

AUTHOR'S P.O.V. For the first time since Karla got to know Killian, he was speaking to her like his wife and not some crazy slut. She also noticed the slight change in his behaviour towards her and wondered if the meeting with Alpha Chase could be a factor. Alpha Chase was sad news, and she wondered what he said to Killian at the wedding. Now, Killian's eyes were trailed on her, and since he already assumed she slept with men for money, she knew what was going on in his head. She shrugged casually. "He is the Alpha of my pack," she replied cautiously. "And?" "I already told you; my father owed him before he died. That is the reason I am here in the first place." "There is no other contract between you two." He said it as a statement, but she knew he wanted an answer. He bit into his breakfast. "No. I do not even know him in person. The wedding was the first place I met him. Did... did he say something else?" He chewed his food but shook his
