Marriage First, Mate Second

During my wedding day, I experienced a shocking turn of events. My fiancé, who I trusted, humiliated me and subjected me to ridicule from the guests. Just when I was at my lowest point, the Alpha of the rival pack, the most sought-after man in the city, approached me with a question. "Are you here to add to my embarrassment?" I dared to ask. He introduced himself softly, "Amber Collins," and his thumb gently brushed against my cheek. Then, he posed a surprising proposal, "Will you consent to become my wife?" Only later did I uncover that this wasn't mere chance. He lowered me onto my side, his voice filled with longing, "From the moment I knew you, I yearned to claim you..." As he pressed closer, I tried to protest, "Wait..." But his intentions were undeniable, like an unstoppable force of nature. It seemed I had become a part of his world, body and soul, bound by the bond of marriage before mating.
