On the night my dad kicked me out, I drank too much and slept with my “brother”
It was a one night mistake. Yet, he proposed and claimed me as his mate, his luna.
**
“You have brought enough disgrace to this family.” His Alpha voice rising furiously.
“Me?!” I let out a forced laugh. “I’m not the one sleeping with every woman who passes my presence. I’m not the one who murdered my mother!” I hissed.
“GET OUT!!!” He ordered. “It was a mistake to have allowed you back in Ironclaw. You will leave and are forbidden to return.”
**
What have I done? He’s practically my brother. I had sex with my brother. 
“It wasn’t a mistake,” 
“What are you talking about, Jonathan?” I asked him. 
“Arina, you are my mate. You were born to be my luna,” he said. His face showed no signs of humor. 
“I wasn’t born to be anybody’s luna,” I shot back. 
“Arina, I love you…” he spoke softly, still staring into my eyes. I could feel the wolf in me stirring; something that I had never felt before. She was awakening; the fire that burned so deep inside of me was beginning to flare. 
“Love?” I heard myself saying. “There’s no such thing as love…” After everything I knew about “love”, what my mother went through when she married my father, love didn’t exist.
“Give me a chance to prove you wrong. Marry me.” 

Alpha's One Night Bride

Watching Arina from across the ballroom, Boris knew he was in trouble. She found the paintings that Emlin had done and from her reaction, she knew her mother painted them. Once she noticed the watermark she was stumbling backward and looked to be almost sick.


The only reason she would react like that is if she knew something was going on.


Boris couldn’t get over how much of Emlin was inside of Arina: personality, interests, even her looks.


Arina’s eyes scanned the ballroom until they found Boris.


He thought back to the last day he saw Emlin. It was the day she painted that photo. Nikini was out of town at a conference and Emlin was staying over for a few days. Arina, at the time, was just an infant.


After Boris’s and Emlin’s first night of passion, it was something that neither of them wanted to end. Emlin felt safe with Boris and Boris had felt something he hasn’t felt in a long time.
