Werewolf: Ex Cheated, So I Married a Yandere Princess

A week before our wedding, I discovered my girlfriend wearing the wedding dress I bought her, having sex with her step-brother.

I decisively chose to abandon her and instead accepted a marriage proposal from a true wealthy heiress.

But when I married the heiress, my ex-girlfriend knelt on the ground crying and begging me to come back.

What a pity - I no longer want her.

I went back for the ring.

The little box was still warm in my palm when the deadbolt turned without resistance. Of course it did. Selena never remembered to lock up—because she’d never had to fear anything in her own home.

The living room was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of silence that makes the hum of the refrigerator sound like a warning.

And then I saw it: a pair of men’s shoes by the rug. Big size. Toes pointed inward like they belonged there.

I stopped. Didn’t call her name.

I moved through the apartment without a sound.

An unfamiliar jacket lay draped over the back of the couch, unbuttoned, carrying a clean cedar cologne that wasn’t mine.

On the floor—clothes scattered like careless confessions. Selena’s silk camisole. A man’s dress shirt.

The edge of the ring box bit into my palm.

The bedroom door was half closed. Light spilled through the crack… and so did a strip of white fabric.

A wedding dress.

My wedding dress.

Custom-made. One hundred and twenty grand in hand-stitched lace and imported silk. The hem lay on the hardwood like fresh snow.

Voices floated out—low, intimate, unmistakable.

Selena, breathy, laughing: “Lucas… don’t. You’re going to wrinkle it.”

A man’s chuckle—smooth, arrogant, freshly returned from wherever he’d been hiding: “Wrinkle it and buy another. He can afford it.”

She hummed, sweet as poison. “Don’t talk about him. Tonight is ours.”

I stood in the blind spot beside the doorframe and looked through the narrow gap.

There she was on our bed—wearing that dress. White against the sheets, skirt hiked and twisted, gold hair spread across my pillow. Fresh bite marks darkened her throat. Lucas had a hand locked on her waist like she was property being reclaimed.

I didn’t burst in.

I didn’t roar. I didn’t demand explanations.

Anger is for men who still expect loyalty.

I took out my phone, opened the camera, and hit record. The red dot blinked in the darkness, steady as a heartbeat that refused to race.

Selena’s voice rose, soft and intimate—confessing like she was proud of it.

“You know…” she murmured against his chest, “I’ve wanted to wear a wedding dress for you since I was a kid. You’re my brother by adoption, but you’re the only man I ever actually wanted.”

Lucas let out a satisfied sound. “So what’s he, then? Three years of boyfriend. Three years of walking ATM.”

She laughed. Not embarrassed. Not guilty. Amused.

“A tool,” she said lightly. “A useful human. Gentle. Obedient. Pays for everything. And he’s terrified of losing me.”

Her words dripped with certainty—the kind that comes from never being challenged.

“He panics if I lose a little hair,” she went on, almost mocking. “There’s no way he’d ever break up with me. I tell him anything and he believes it. When I’m done playing… I’ll have him set up the wedding, and he’ll cry from happiness.”

Lucas scoffed. “You’re ruthless for a werewolf queen.”

“That’s not ruthless.” Her fingertip traced his throat, slow and indulgent. “That’s choosing. I deserve the best. Now that you’re back, I don’t have to settle.”

I made sure the camera caught that sentence.

I don’t have to settle.

Thirty seconds.

More than enough.

I stopped recording, slid the phone back into my pocket, and stepped away from the door without making a sound. I didn’t look again. I didn’t need to.

I crossed the living room, opened the closet, and took only what mattered: my passport, cash, a burner phone, a few documents. From the wardrobe of “normal guy” clothes I’d worn for her sake, I grabbed two shirts.

I didn’t even touch the ring.

It stayed in the box, exactly where it belonged—like a joke I’d stopped laughing at.

When I left, I flicked the deadbolt into place.

Clean. Final. A coffin lid closing.

Outside, the night air cut cold and wet, city wind sliding between buildings. I paused under a streetlamp and looked up at the apartment window.

The bedroom light was still on. Curtains shifting. Shadows moving together.

I didn’t linger.

I walked a block down to a darker corner—no cameras, no curious eyes—and raised my left hand.

On my ring finger sat a matte silver band, etched with delicate patterns so fine they looked ornamental. For three years it had been there—my leash. A custom seal that pressed my power down until I passed as harmless. Human. Safe.

Selena’s version of “security.”

I hooked my thumb under the band and slipped it off.

The world… dipped.

Air thickened, heavy with pressure. The streetlamp above me flickered twice, buzzing sharp and high, then steadied—but colder than before. Somewhere nearby, a cat hissed and bolted into an alley. A shop window trembled with tiny ripples, like invisible weight had brushed the glass.

My pulse didn’t jump.

I just felt clear again. Awake.

I stared at the band in my palm. Three years of self-inflicted weakness, polished into something she could love.

Then I pocketed it.

From this moment on, the “safe choice” she’d taken for granted was gone.

What remained was the man who wrote the rules.

Back in my car, I powered on the burner phone. There was only one number saved—one I’d blocked myself three years ago, the day I chose Selena over everything else.

I looked at it for two seconds.

Unblocked it.

Called.

The line connected after a single ring.

No greetings. No small talk. Just a breath held too long—like a predator forced to play patient.

“…Arthur?” Her voice was soft, trembling at the edges. Not fragile—controlled. Possessive. “You finally called. Three years. Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting?”

I leaned back in the seat, calm as a verdict. “Isabella.”

Saying her name was like striking flint. Her breathing hitched—sharp, hungry.

“What do you want?” she asked, each word sharpened by obsession. “Say it. Anything.”

My tone didn’t change. “The alliance you offered three years ago. The marriage.”

Silence.

Then—low laughter. Sweet. Unhinged. The kind that raises the hair on your neck because it sounds like love and punishment at the same time.

“Good,” Isabella whispered, savoring the word like a vow. “Where are you? I’m coming to get you. Right now.”

I looked toward Selena’s building, still glowing in the distance like a den that believed itself untouchable.

I ended the call and started the engine.

In the rearview mirror, the building shrank until it was just another square of light swallowed by the night. I took the ring box from my pocket and tossed it into the nearest trash bin without slowing down.

Headlights cut the dark open.

And behind that still-bright window, Selena was probably laughing against Lucas’s mouth, saying the same smug line she’d always believed:

“He’ll come back.”
