Knotting His Runaway Queen
Agatha Christie · Completed · 8.8k Words
Introduction
The Bride-Selection slaughter is underway—no girl has survived in ten years. Bodies torn apart, blood everywhere.
Then the monstrous black dragon lowers its massive head… and gently nuzzles my palm like a lovesick puppy.
The man on the throne stares down with violet eyes.
"You don't get to run anymore. You're my queen now."
That same night he rips away every scrap of silk, pins me to the freezing dragon-sized bed, and shoves his thick, burning cock so deep I scream until my voice breaks.
"Try escaping again," he growls against my ear, hips slamming into me without mercy, "and I'll chain you to this bed and fuck you until you can't even crawl."
This terrifyingly beautiful monster—what deadly secrets is he hiding?
And me, the runaway bride his dragon picked… will I ever break free from his cage?
Chapter 1
Seraphina's POV
The diamond ring sliced through the air, catching the cold glint of afternoon sunlight before crashing hard against Duke Lucian Austen's handsome face.
"WE'RE DONE!"
The entire Royal Rose Garden fell into deathly silence, with only the distant sound of the fountain continuing its endless flow. Every noble guest stared in shock at me—Seraphina, the Montrose family's eldest daughter, publicly humiliating one of the kingdom's most powerful dukes.
An hour ago, I had been lost in dreams of a beautiful future...
"My dear friends!" My childhood sweetheart and fiancé Lucian raised his champagne flute, his voice echoing throughout the garden. "I have thrilling news to announce!"
I wore the pale blue silk gown my mother had left me, smiling at this man I'd grown up with. Golden hair, deep blue eyes, perfect features—for eighteen years, I'd believed he was my destined soulmate.
My heart raced, my cheeks flushed with excitement. Finally, it was happening—the announcement of our wedding date...
"I'm going to marry TWO wives! This represents the progressive thinking of modern nobility!"
What?
Time seemed to freeze. I felt my heart skip a beat, then begin pounding wildly. What had he just said? Two wives? This had to be some kind of joke...
"My beautiful fiancée, Seraphina Montrose, and—" He reached out to pull a voluptuous woman with flaming red hair to his side, "my beloved Vivian Rose!"
No. This wasn't a joke.
Vivian Rose—that woman who'd been frequenting our estate as a "friend." She clung smugly to Lucian's arm, wearing the Austen family's ruby bracelet on her wrist.
My blood turned ice-cold instantly. Eighteen years of childhood friendship, three years of engagement, reduced to this humiliation.
"Are you out of your MIND..." I whispered, trembling.
Murmurs began around us. I heard someone saying, "Good God, this is absolutely ridiculous..." Others were snickering, "The Montrose girl's going to lose it..."
"Seraphina, don't be so dramatic." Lucian approached me, his face wearing that fake tenderness. "You should feel honored to share my love with such a beautiful woman. Besides, your father's been tight on funds lately—my generosity could help the Montrose family."
Honored? Share?
Mother's dying words echoed in my ears: "Seraphina, never let anyone look down on you. You're a daughter of the Montrose family—live with dignity."
"What do you take me for?" My voice shook. "Some commodity to be traded at will?"
"Darling, don't be so emotional—"
"ENOUGH!" I ripped off my engagement ring. "I'd rather stay single forever than have anything to do with scum like you!"
And that led to the opening scene.
As sunset fell, the estate's backyard was shrouded in orange-red twilight. The guests had long since departed, leaving only a garden full of wreckage.
I sat alone on the stone steps, trying to sort through my chaotic thoughts. Heavy, threatening footsteps approached from behind.
"We need to have a serious talk, Seraphina."
Lucian's voice was darker than before, his handsome face sinister in the dusk.
"There's nothing to discuss." I didn't turn around. "We're finished. Completely finished."
"Finished?" He laughed coldly. "You think you can humiliate me in public and just walk away? Seraphina, you're so naive."
I stood to face him. "What do you mean?"
"Do you know how your father's been managing to maintain your lifestyle?" His smile grew more sinister. "He embezzled thirty thousand gold coins from the military fund! Corruption, misappropriation... these charges are enough to have him executed ten times over."
I felt the world sway beneath my feet. No, father wasn't corrupt—that money was to save mother's life! The doctor said that medicine was expensive, we had no choice...
"You BASTARD!" I stood up, fury making my whole body shake. "You know what that money was for! Mother was dying, we needed—"
"I don't care about your reasons." He cut me off coldly. "Now listen carefully. You have two choices. Either marry me and be my dutiful first wife, smile and accept Vivian. Or tomorrow the entire kingdom will see your father's wanted posters."
"And if I refuse?"
"Do you really want to know?" He stepped closer. "Your father will be publicly executed, your family's assets will be seized, and you'll be exiled. And I'll make sure everyone knows this could all have been avoided if Seraphina Montrose hadn't been so selfish."
My hands clenched into fists, nails digging into my palms. He had calculated this so precisely, so coldly...
"I need time to think."
"Smart girl." He smiled, reaching to caress my face. "I knew you'd be reasonable. But don't keep me waiting too long—"
Just as his hand was about to touch me, I grabbed the small flower pot beside me and smashed it against his temple with all my strength.
"What the—" Ceramic shards mixed with blood splattered across the ground as he screamed, clutching his face.
Before he could react, I turned and ran.
"You crazy BITCH! CATCH HER!" His roar echoed behind me.

Offside Temptation
Ethan Ryder was a disaster waiting to happen. Hot-headed, reckless, and constantly one bad decision away from ruining his career. I was supposed to hate him. Instead, I memorized him. I learned exactly how to push his buttons on the ice just to see the fire in his eyes.
When he grabbed my jersey in that locker room and kissed me in front of twenty cameras, it wasn't a mistake. It was the moment the line between hatred and obsession finally snapped. The media called it a scandal. They called us a divorced couple. But they didn't see the way Ethan trembled when I cornered him in the hallway afterward.
"You're staring again," he whispered, his back hitting the wall.
"You're still here," I replied calmly, stepping close enough to feel his erratic pulse.
He thought I was cold. He thought I was controlled. He didn't realize that every time he looked at me, I was fighting the urge to completely destroy the distance between us.
Now, the league is forcing us to live together, train together, and smile for the cameras to fix our public image. But the more time we spend alone in my apartment, the harder it is to pretend I just want to play hockey...
After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha

But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?

“Until you die!”

My consciousness began to fade, but suddenly, I opened my eyes again and found myself mopping the floor in an ordinary restaurant.
