"My heart skipped a beat as his lips gently met mine. 'I... I accept your terms,' I stammered, my cheek tingling under his touch. My mind was in chaos, and all I could hear was his soothing whisper. 'Liana, you belong to me now!'"
Being a 22-year-old daughter of an influential Alpha, I was coerced into an arranged marriage with an unappealing elderly man. Seeking an escape, I struck a bargain with a mysterious Alpha – he'd liberate me from my predetermined future, and I would carry his child. Unbeknownst to me, the dashing stranger I agreed to this with was not a savior, but a hidden devil.
"Liana, please allow me to explain," he pleaded, trying to break through my despair. "No," I whispered, closing my eyes tightly to block out the pain and disappointment. Gazing at my swelling belly, I felt an ache for the life growing inside, but I couldn't bear another lie.
"Remember our agreement," he said harshly, reminding me of the pact we had made. "You can't simply walk away now."
I offered him a bitter smile. "Yes, I can," I replied, determined to stand my ground. "A Deal with the Mysterious Alpha" is a creation by A.B Elwin, a published author under eGlobal Creative Publishing.
