The Alpha's Contract Bride
âThereâs something else, and Iâm curious to know what it is.â 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.
âHe doesnât know. He couldnât possibly know. Thereâs no way.â I repeated in my mind.
âThereâs something about you that entrances me, but I canât quite put my finger on it.â
âIf this is an attempt to coax me into accepting your proposal, youâre wasting your time. I will not marry you.â

âAlphas 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. Itâs better to be dead than to cross paths with one.â
Those words were Arielleâs guiding principle in a ruthless world where Alphas dominated, Betas served, and Omegasâdespite their intimate connection with the Alphasâwere 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, thereâs 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?
