My Mate Marked His Brother's Widow

Summary

Just before our mating ceremony, my fated mate, Keane Blackwood, told me out of nowhere that he had to mark his widowed sister-in-law, Elara, first. He needed a pureblood heir.

And I was a half-blood werewolf.

"Talise, Elara is the best choice. Don't worry. This is purely political. You're the only one I love.

"It's only for a year. Wait for me."

His warm palm cupped my cheek, and he looked at me with the same love I'd always seen in his eyes.

I believed him.

But the very next day, news broke that Elara was pregnant. Three months along.
