Nine Rejected Marriages, I Wed My Ex's Rival
Amelia sat alone at the City Marriage Bureau, watching the clock tick down to closing time. Fifteen minutes before the doors shut, a phone call shattered her last flicker of hope. Her fiancé, Kayson, wasn't coming. He had abandoned their wedding registration because Kamila-her stepsister-had twisted her ankle. It was his ninth broken promise. When Amelia returned home, there was no comfort. Her biological mother sneered at her humiliation, shielding the stepsister while ordering Amelia to apologize to Kayson. "Who would she marry without Kayson?" her mother mocked. "Let's see how long she survives out there without his money." Meanwhile, Kayson arrogantly dismissed her absence. Finding out she had vanished, he just laughed it off with his assistant. "It's just a tantrum to force my hand," Kayson smirked. "She still can't live without me." After nine years of absolute devotion, she was nothing but a convenient placeholder to the man she loved, and a worthless joke to her own family. The suffocating weight of their betrayal finally snapped something inside her. She packed a single suitcase, threw away nine years of anniversary gifts, and permanently blocked Kayson's number. Standing in the freezing wind, she pulled out her phone and dialed the private number of Kayson's biggest, most ruthless rival. "Mr. Thornton, what you said seven months ago... does the offer to marry me still stand?" Ten minutes later, a sleek black Maybach pulled up to the curb.CHAPTER ONE
Elara's POV
My heart stopped as I stared at the most handsome man I had ever seen. He was tall, muscular, and had bright blue eyes that made me weak.
"Elara, what's wrong with you?" my best friend Serenity asked, poking my shoulder.
"Huh? Oh, um, nothing," I mumbled, looking away from the man.
Serenity followed my gaze. "Wow, he's hot! But definitely an Alpha. You can tell by his power."
I sighed. "Yeah, you're right. He's probably a jerk like most Alphas."
"But you're dating a future Alpha too, remember?"
I frowned at her. "Tyler is different. He's not like them."
Serenity shrugged. "If you say so. Hey, you should go talk to that guy!"
"What? No way! I have a boyfriend, Serenity."
"I didn't say sleep with him, just flirt a little! Live a little, Elara. You're almost 18."
I watched the handsome stranger walk away, biting my lip. Maybe Serenity was right. It couldn't hurt to explore...
Curiosity got the best of me. I went to check out the other floors, secretly hoping I might run into him. Just as the elevator doors were closing, he dashed inside!
"Sorry about that," he said, grabbing my shoulders to steady himself. Then his eyes met mine and widened. "Well hello there, beautiful. I'm Luke ." He slid an arm around my waist, twirling my red hair with his other hand. I nearly melted.
"I'm Ser - I mean, Elara," I stammered. God, he was even better looking up close. The elevator dinged and I quickly pulled away, dashing down the hall before I did something I'd regret.
I turned a corner and froze. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My boyfriend Tyler had some girl pinned against the wall, whispering in her ear as she giggled and touched his chest. Rage boiled inside me.
'How dare he cheat on us!' My wolf Davina growled in my mind. 'We're royalty! He'll pay for this!'
I spun around and stomped back to the elevator, my eyes flashing with anger. Luke was there waiting for me.
