“The Wolf of the Battlefield and His Fake Bride” by Roche

His cold voice echoed through the room. Callie panted heavily, staring at his lips.

“Say it,” he commanded, his voice low and unyielding, as his fingers delved deeper inside her.

“Ah!” Callie gasped, her body involuntarily tensing. She felt her lower abdomen tighten, and for a brief moment, she caught a glimpse of his face twisting with raw emotion.

Breathing harshly, he pressed his lips to her neck, his powerful shoulders rising and falling like a storm barely contained. His sharp teeth grazed her delicate collarbone as he exhaled hotly against her skin.

“Say it,” he ordered again, his fingers moving deliberately, slower, but deeper.

Callie clung to his arm, twisting her body as she cried out.

“Lai… kan!”

Suddenly, his touch stilled, as if her words had cast a spell. When she looked up at him through blurry eyes, she saw an odd, almost feral smile spread across his face.

“Tonight, I will make her mine. No matter what.”

After sounding yet another victory on the battlefield, the legendary “Wolf of the Battlefield,” Duke Laikan Warren, received an unusual command from the king: to marry the daughter of a defeated noble family.

“Stab me with your sword instead,” Callie said boldly, her defiance and courage tipping into recklessness.

On their wedding night, as Laikan faced his fiery, unyielding bride, he realized something.

This woman will change my fate forever.

“You’re my wife. That’s a fact, and it will never change!”

“I have a plan.”

To survive, Callie must become the fake bride of the merciless “Wolf of the North,” the Duke Laikan Warren—a man feared across the continent as the Lion of Hell, whose campaigns bathe the land in blood.

As Callie embarked on the long journey to his northern estate, she struggled desperately to maintain her ruse as the duke’s bride, hiding her true identity from his sharp gaze.

One night, he stepped toward her with a predator’s grace, cupping her face in his rough hands.

As his lips descended toward hers, Callie whispered breathlessly, “Are you going to… pin me down again?”

With a sly smirk, he murmured, “Yes. I’ll pin you down again.”

His lips crashed against hers, wild and unrelenting.
