My Arranged Marriage to The Alpha Chapter 1 Chapitre 1

Night had fallen over the city, shrouding the mountains and forests in dense darkness. Adrian Valmont, the Alpha of the Silver Claw pack, stood in his office, shoulders tense, staring at the flickering flames of the huge fireplace. The council meeting had ended, but his words still echoed in his mind.

"You need to find a wife, Adrian. The pack needs a stable authority figure. With everything that has happened, a married Alpha is a symbol of stability. »

Stability. The word rolled bitterly off his tongue. Since the day Livia, his fiancée, abandoned him, stability seemed a distant, almost ironic concept to him. He had never wanted to rule alone, but the idea of an arranged union, imposed by his council, revolted him. Love, passion, these emotions now belonged to a past that he preferred to forget, hidden behind a shell of coldness.

But the stern eyes of his advisors were unwavering. "The shadow of betrayal still looms," one of them said seriously. "If you don't present a strong image, other packs will think we are vulnerable. » He had tried to explain to them that he did not want to be pushed into the arms of a stranger, but in vain. They didn't see it that way, and Adrian knew that his people's loyalty was precious, but fragile. So he resigned himself.

A light scratching at the door pulled him from his thoughts. Mira, his younger sister, entered silently, her gaze gentle but inquisitive.

" How are you ? » she asked softly, closing the door behind her.

"It would be better if the council would let me breathe," he replied, a hint of bitterness in his voice.

Mira walked over and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "They want what's best for the pack, Adrian. »

"What they want is to see me tied up in a marriage of convenience. As if that would solve all our problems. »

Mira looked at him gently, then took a deep breath. "Maybe...maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing." »

He turned around abruptly, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Are you siding with them now too? »

She raised her hands in a sign of peace. "No, I just want you to consider the idea. After all, I know how much this breakup with Livia hurt you. But... who knows? Maybe a new presence could bring you a little... healing. »

He gave a bitter sneer. " Healing ? Do you seriously think an arranged marriage will cure me? It's not a miracle cure, Mira. »

She shook her head gently. "I'm not talking about a miracle, Adrian. I'm talking about a possibility. And then, the woman the council proposed..."

"Katherine, right? » He pronounced the name as if he were tasting an unknown fruit, wary.

Mira nodded. "Yes, Katherine. I have already met her once or twice, during meetings with other allied families. She is... discreet, reserved. Maybe a little too calm for a future Alpha wife, but... there's something... pure, authentic about her. »

"Pure," Adrian repeated, the word sounding strangely in his mouth. "And you think I could get along with her? »

Mira shrugged, a teasing smile on her lips. "I think you should talk to him first to judge. »

Adrian sighed. The idea of meeting this young woman seemed both futile and inevitable to him. He would have preferred the council to focus on the real challenges facing the pack, but he also knew that refusing would be seen as weakness. Finally, he nodded, resigned.

The next day, the meeting was organized in the reception room of the main house. Adrian hadn't bothered to get ready, preferring to present himself as he was, as a silent reminder that he was here not by choice, but by duty. Katherine entered discreetly, her frail and almost shy figure appearing tiny in the middle of the imposing room. She wore a simple dress, her dark hair falling in light waves over her shoulders.

Adrian stared at her for a moment, studying every detail. She was not the flamboyant beauty who attracted attention with her brilliance, but there was something calm, almost soothing in her expression.

Katherine, visibly nervous, hesitated before bowing respectfully. "Hello, Alpha Valmont," she whispered, her soft voice barely audible.

"Adrian," he corrected firmly. "If we are to... consider this union, we might as well avoid unnecessary formalities. »

She nodded, keeping her eyes downcast, visibly uncomfortable. A heavy silence settled, and Adrian felt a slight irritation rising within him. Was she always this self-effacing? Or was it the pressure of the situation that made her that way?

"So, Katherine," he continued, trying to break the silence. "What do you think about all this? I mean... about this proposal. »

She raised her eyes shyly, meeting his gaze with a sincerity that surprised him. "To be honest...it seems strange to me," she replied, her voice betraying a hint of nervousness. "I never imagined that... my life could take such a direction. »

Adrian raised an eyebrow. "Have you never thought about getting married? »

A slight smile appeared on his lips. "Yes, of course. But not... like this. »

There was something disarming in his eyes. No judgment, no pretense, just simple, straightforward honesty. He felt some of his initial wariness erode, replaced by an unexpected curiosity.

"So why did you agree to come? » he asked, a little more gently.

She took a breath before answering. "Because my family thinks it's the best. And I... I want to make them proud. » Her gaze dropped again, and she added in a low voice, almost to herself, "And maybe... that's what I need too." »

Adrian remained silent, absorbing his words. He had anticipated a stiff, mechanical encounter, but this moment proved strangely different. Katherine, despite her apparent reserve, seemed to carry within her an unexpected courage, a silent determination which disarmed him.

He finally broke the silence, his voice softening. "I'm not going to lie to you, Katherine. This marriage, for me, has nothing attractive. My heart... has been betrayed, and it seems impossible to trust again. »

She looked up, looking into his gaze, and whispered in an almost inaudible voice, "I understand." We are both here for reasons that are not love. But maybe... maybe we could at least try to get to know each other. »

He nodded, surprised to feel almost relieved by her words. He had worried that she was expecting a fairy tale, but Katherine seemed as realistic as he was. This observation, against all expectations, brought him a strange form of comfort.

A thin smile appeared on his lips. " Alright. Let's get to know each other then. But, I warn you... I'm not easy to live with. »

She returned a shy smile, the first of the evening, and Adrian felt his heart tighten slightly. Perhaps, he thought, this union, as improbable as it was, was not entirely doomed to failure.

They spent the rest of the evening making small talk, learning little things about each other. Katherine told him about her love of books, the walks she liked to take at sunrise, her passion for medicinal plants. He discovered in her a delicate but resolute woman, and for the first time in a long time, Adrian felt his heart lighten, if only a little.

When she left the room, he remained alone for a moment, meditating on this encounter. An imperceptible smile touched his lips. Perhaps this imposed union would not be as meaningless as he had imagined.

The day we got a new Alpha, my family was forced to become Omega. Because our new Alpha, Alpha Jaxon, was a violent and cruel man who didn't trust any of the pack's former warriors. I refused to accept him as my Alpha, he's a bad guy, and rumor had it that the Moon Goddess didn't even give him a mate. But ironically, as soon as I saw him, I felt a warmth for him. How could this have happened? And he had already found a contract partner! I tried my best to avoid him, but he always noticed me, with his charming and sexy look... The worst part was that in order to accomplish my family's revenge, I had to get close to Alpha Jaxon, seduce him and make him fall completely in love with me... --- "I'm not sure this is the way to welcome your Alpha," he said, inches from my lips. I stopped for a second to try to calm down, the adrenaline flowing, as my wolf and I savored the comfort of being so close to him again. "Hmm, maybe that's true, except you're not my Alpha yet," I replied in a seductive and natural tone. Our faces were so close that the heat of our breaths collided, I wanted so much for him to give in and close the distance between us. "You feel it, don't you? Your wolf is howling inside you for me to mark you... right... here...", Jaxon nipped my neck ever so lightly. I felt like my legs were going to give out from under me at any moment. He moved his hand just under my sweater, to my back. He pulled me closer to his hardness as his gaze held a silent promise.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
