I Married The Beast Commander, Not His Match Chapter 01

I Married The Beast Commander, Not His Match Chapter 01

I was human.

And somehow, I had married the shifter commander as his 100 percent compatibility match.

Eighteen rejections. Eighteen times, I’d tried to consummate this marriage, and eighteen times, he’d turned me down. So I kicked open the bathroom door, ready to pin him down myself.

That’s when the comments flooded my vision.

[Where are the Registry officials?! This annoying side character isn’t even the ML’s true mate!]

[Lmao, her ending is savage. After the divorce, she’s so broke she ends up catering to men in the shifter slums.]

[Skip, skip, skip! I’m only here for the bunny FL’s entrance and the part where the ML completely loses it!]

Wait.

I wasn’t his true mate?

“What… How did you get in here?”

Gideon Sterling’s wolf ears flattened against his skull, and his whole body pressed back like the wall might swallow him.

I looked him straight in the eye.

So what if I wasn’t?

I lunged at him.

True mate or not, I was claiming what was mine first.

Get pregnant first. Figure the rest out later. That was the plan.

…

I threw my arms around Gideon’s neck, rose onto my toes, and kissed him like I meant it.

After three years of marriage, I was finally kissing him.

His lips were cool. Soft.

A clean hit of mint lingered on them.

Gideon’s body went rigid.

Then his hand found the back of my head, and what started as barely a touch turned raw.

Like something caged had finally broken loose.

He kissed me until my knees buckled and I had to cling to him just to stay upright.

[OMG OMG! This girl is UNHINGED! She’s forcing a kiss on the germaphobe commander? The purists are losing it!]

[ML, WAKE UP! She’s not your fated mate! Don’t fall for it!]

The comments went completely feral.

Then Gideon shoved me away.

Hard enough that my back hit the wall and pain shot up my spine.

His dark gray ears flicked back, his breath uneven. Those amber eyes fixed on me like I was something dangerous.

“Are you out of your mind?”

Three years of swallowed pride snapped in one breath.

“I’m your wife, Gideon. Wanting my husband to touch me isn’t a crime.”

That shut him up.

His jaw tightened, and his expression went cold.

“That’s not what I meant.”

“Good. Then we’re not done.”

I didn’t wait for an answer. I moved toward him again.

This time, he didn’t hesitate. He grabbed my wrist and hauled me out of the bathroom.

His grip left a burning red mark around my wrist.

The door slammed in my face.

I stood on the other side of that door as the heat drained from my skin, leaving only the cold. The humiliation. Both pierced straight through me.

“Bastard.”

The tears came before I could stop them.

[LMAOOO, she really tried to jump the ML? The nerve is unreal.]

[She’s lucky it didn’t work, tbh. Once the ML finds out she’s not his real mate, he’ll absolutely ruin her.]

[Give it a few days lol. She’s getting kicked to the curb with nothing.]

I wiped my face. Something inside me went cold.

So much for the get-pregnant-first plan.

I dragged myself back to the bedroom and collapsed onto the bed.

In this world, shifters sat at the top. Humans were disposable, extras in someone else’s story.

From the moment I transmigrated here, every day had been about survival. Then the Registry came knocking.

They said I was a perfect match for their top commander.

Overnight, I went from slum orphan to commander’s wife.

Everyone said I’d hit the jackpot.

But I was the only one who knew the truth. Three years, and all of it had been a joke.

Gideon was the empire’s youngest wolf-shifter commander, with S-rank power and enough strength to crush anyone in uniform.

He married me because the Registry told him to. Not because he wanted me.

For three years, I twisted myself into whatever he liked.

I kept my hair long and straight because he liked it that way. Ate bland food because he preferred it. Spoke softly, always softly.

I turned myself into the perfect, obedient accessory of a wife.
