Christmas Eve My Husband Became My Sister’s Groom

Introduction
I stood there with my palms slick with cold sweat, waiting for his explanation, but all I got was his angry roar: “How can you be jealous of your own sister?”
Later I found out that he’d already fallen for Sarah the moment he saw her at our wedding. All those so‑called “comforting words” were a lie; what was real were the secret dates he planned with her.
His talk about a “fake divorce” to help Sarah escape an arranged mating was a lie; what was real was kicking me aside so Sarah could become his Luna.
Chapter 1
My mother died when I was a kid, and my father only ever loved the daughter his second wife gave him. My one stroke of luck in this life was probably that I married my fated mate—David Brown.
He swore to me he’d only ever love one woman: me.
But on our first Christmas after the wedding, he just left me a text saying, “Don’t wait up for me,” and vanished. No matter how many messages I sent, he never replied.
He left me alone to face the pack’s family gathering.
David’s mother spotted that I’d come alone and frowned.
“Where’s David? He can’t even be bothered to show up for our traditional family gathering?”
I fumbled for an answer and couldn’t get a word out.
Her face went cold, anger coloring her voice.
“Jessica! I’ve already swallowed my pride and tolerated your background. This is how you repay me? You can’t even handle the basic duties of a Luna?”
My palms were slick with cold sweat as I clenched my fists, silently praying for David to show up.
But he didn’t appear—not even when the party was over.
Worry started to creep in. He’d never ignored my messages like this before. I unlocked my phone, thinking I’d try calling him again.
The moment the screen lit up, a Facebook notification popped up—Sarah’s new video. At first, I didn’t pay it any attention, until I realized the background of her video was David’s collection room.
No one knew better than I do how much he valued those paintings and antiques.
I told myself it was just a similar layout somewhere else—until David walked into the next second, and it felt like a hard slap across my face, my cheeks burning.
The man I’d been silently begging to show up while I endured all the side‑eyed ridicule at the family gathering…
The husband I’d spent the whole day worrying myself sick over…
Was now surrounded by a crowd, down on one knee.
He was looking up at another woman with all the love in his eyes, sliding a diamond ring—our symbol of love—onto her finger.
And as everyone around them cheered and showered them with blessings, he pulled her into a kiss.
Jealousy roared up inside me. Why did Sarah always get to take everything that belonged to me so easily?
The status of being the family’s cherished young lady. My father’s affection.
And now, even my husband had fallen for her.
I knew what I was about to do was a mistake.
If I wanted to keep this hollow shell of a marriage, I should have pretended I never saw any of it.
But my fingertips were shaking as I still typed out one word— “Congrats”—and hit send.
My heartbeat suddenly sounded painfully loud in my ears.
I couldn’t stop the tiny, desperate hope that maybe, once David saw it, he’d call and explain.
There must be a misunderstanding, I told myself first, trying to soothe my own heart.
But the moment my comment went through, Sarah’s video disappeared. My phone buzzed in my hand—David was finally calling.
My whole body went rigid with nerves. But as soon as I picked up, his fury slammed into me through the speaker.
“Jessica, what the hell are you doing? Sarah is your sister. Can’t you think about her for once?”
“How can you be jealous of your own blood sister? Do you have no shame at all?”
All the blood drained from my face.
It felt like someone had ripped my clothes off and thrown me naked into a crowd.
“No… I…” My lips trembled, but I couldn’t string together a single complete sentence.
In the back of my mind, my wolf Lily growled bitterly.
“See? Even with a fated mate bond, the only thing a man really cares about is the woman he calls his true love.”
On the other end of the call, I heard Sarah’s soft sobbing.
“David, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I got too excited and forgot to block Jessica. Don’t blame her…”
“If she’s upset, we can just pretend none of this ever happened today.”
Her voice was all too familiar to me.
I knew exactly how beautiful and seductive Sarah was. Her tears were the sharpest weapon she had for capturing a man’s heart.
“Sarah, don’t say things like that. It breaks my heart.”
Sure enough, David’s voice turned soft as he coaxed her.
For me, though, his tone flipped back to harsh and commanding.
“Don’t blame Sarah. We have reasons, and I’ll explain when I get back.”
“Oh, and send me the cruise tickets you booked. Stay home and behave yourself tonight. Don’t wait up.”

Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?
Lilly’s life was never easy; she lost her memory and family in a blazing fire. Angelica found and took her in—only to make her a slave to the household.
Years of torment and abuse left Lilly weak, vulnerable, and believing she was without a wolf, but that didn't mean that all hope was lost.
At night, in her dreams, he would patiently wait for her—the man who brought sunshine into her darkest moments.
They would dance the night away, but as dawn approached, he would vanish into the morning sun.
Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...
Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way.
What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie?
What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?
The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
