'If I could have stopped this sham of a marriage, I would have.'

My chest tightened painfully. Ronan?

'There should have been another way. I was supposed to be the Luna. I'm your mate!'

Mate. I knew the word. But hearing it from her made it feel different, important, and sacred. My mind searched desperately for another explanation. She was someone else, maybe a friend, or a relative, just anyone, but Ronan spoke.

'I know, baby.'

My stomach dropped. Baby. He called her baby.

'That human is nothing to me.'

I stepped closer before I could stop myself, and then I saw them, his arms around her. My eyes widened when I saw my husband crashing his lips on her.

The woman's fingers tangled in Ronan's shirt as they kissed fiercely, and she moaned his name.

My world went completely silent, and the music downstairs disappeared, everything did. Because the man I had just married was holding another woman like she was the only person in the world who mattered.

How did my life become this? I closed my eyes and took a breath.

My father traded me away. My fiancé abandoned me. And barely an hour after our wedding, my husband made it painfully clear that I was nothing more than a political bargain.
