Male Bride Novel – In the grand courtroom of the Phoenix Empire, Enigma Jethro sat at the head of a long table, on a throne-like golden seat that seemed to radiate authority. His posture was rigid, and his serious, impatient expression made his striking features appear older than his twenty-seven years, but he was still utterly captivating.
His bluish eyes swept across the twelve Alphas seated at the table, six on each side, brows furrowed in silent thought. Then drifted to the two women across the room, each radiating beauty, their dresses flowing and clinging with effortless grace. At the far end of the table, Grey stood, head bowed, fingers laced tightly in front of him. He wished he could lift his head and stand confidently, like the Alpha everyone thought he was, just as his father had always pressured him to, but he couldn’t.
An omega like him didn’t have that courage. In front of an Enigma and a room full of Alphas, it was a fight no omega could win even if they wanted. After a long, suffocating silence, one of the Alphas rose. Grey didn’t need to look to know who it was… Alpha Norman, the leader of the highest pack. “My Lord,” he said, bowing slightly to Jethro. “I do not understand why we are still here, trying to think harder about the solution. This is a man, and you are obviously not going to marry a man because it wouldn’t make any sense.
It wouldn’t be your fault to leave out BlueMoon Pack unattended to, they have no girl with Alpha blood to offer.” The other Alphas murmured their agreement, everyone except Alpha Harris, Grey’s father. Another Alpha, who often stood beside Norman, rose to speak. “My Lord, I agree,” he said. “Leaving the BlueMoon Pack out does not violate any ancient law. You have already shown your respect for the Moon Goddess’s decree. You did not marry into BlueMoon because they have no suitable candidate for you.
And just as the law states, you have already married two women of your own choosing, and you could take a third one if you wish.” As he spoke, his true hope was clear: that his own daughter might be the one to stumble on that third position of a wife.
