You Must Love Me, Alpha

You Must Love Me, Alpha

“Give me one year to win your heart, Lucius,” she pleads. “Just one year. And if at the end I fail… I’ll step down as Luna and let you take another woman in my place.” ********** In her past life, Violet’s husband Adrian pretended to love her for three years but only used her as a blood bank to save his true mate, ultimately taking her heart and ending her life. Reborn and wiser, Violet refuses to be anyone’s victim. This time, she’s choosing her own mate: Adrian’s half-brother, the untamed, dangerous Lucius. But their past is poisoned. Two years of rejection, hatred, and betrayal stand between them and Adrian is determined to make her suffer. So Violet stakes everything on a single, daring deal: one year to seduce Lucius, claim her place as Luna… or lose everything. Lucius agrees, convinced he can never want her but one brush of her skin, one lingering look, and one impossible kiss after another makes him question everything. With Adrian, the man who betrayed her once, still plotting her downfall and Lucius’s scheming concubine doing everything to claim him, can Violet survive?

VIOLET’S POVMy eyes flutter open, squinting as sunlight slips through the window and lands on my face. I push myself up on the bed, rubbing the sleep from my eyes as I glance around.The room is empty. Lucius is gone.I release a slow sigh, dragging a hand through my hair. Of course, I never expected him to fall in love with me overnight. When I made that deal with him yesterday, I knew exactly how difficult it would be, especially after seeing just how cold he’s become.I even resorted to that embarrassingly corny confession, telling him I loved him just to sway his decision. I need him on my side because if I’m going to protect myself from Adrian, I can’t do it alone.And after that, whether he ever falls for me or not, I’ll step down and live a quiet life on my own. That future is still better than death, or being bound to a mate who despises me.Still, I can’t stop thinking about the way he looked at me when I confessed my love. It was the only reason I could give for my request,

LUCIUS’ POVThe disapproving whispers in the hall are nothing compared to the roar of my wolf in my head the moment Violet chooses me. My wolf is ecstatic and beyond thrilled.Foolish.What the hell does Violet think she’s doing? Has she lost her mind?As our eyes meet, her expression is tight, controlled, and confident. What is going on in her head? What game is she playing? Two years ago, she made it clear that night she hates me and declared her undying love for Adrian. Worse… she said that once she’s crowned Luna, she’ll do everything to get back at me and even threatened to banish me like my mother.My fingers curl in my lap. Why would she choose me as Alpha now? I steal a glance at Adrian and he looks furious, clearly not expecting this. I rise to my feet. “I have no interest in being Alpha.”Instantly, the hall erupts with murmurs and gasps.

Chapter: Chapter 2
VIOLET'S POVAs I get ready for the coronation, I keep staring at myself in the mirror because one thing is very clear. The moon goddess heard me and I have been reborn. My face looks exactly like it was four years ago, my wolf sounds just the same, the rooms are decorated like in the past and everything is just like I'm seeing my old memories. My heart aches, not just from hurt but anger. Adrian killed me in my past life. He lied, manipulated me and took my heart for his true mate. Everything he said to me in that operating room keeps looping in my head over and over as I tighten my grip around my dress.

Chapter: Chapter 1
VIOLET’S POV“Luna, we’ll start the process soon,” my doctor says. “Please be patient.”I smile. “No problem, doctor.”He bows and quickly leaves the room. As I adjust my patient gown, I can’t help the small chuckle that slips out.To the staff at this hospital, I must look like one unfortunate woman, and someone to pity each time I come here. But isn’t it ironic that I don’t feel that way at all? Is it crazy that I feel… happy whenever I’m here?“You have a rare blood condition.”Three years ago, my husband came home with my test results and said those words to me. I remember shaking my head in disbelief, tears sliding down my face, and wanting to curse the Moon Goddess herself. Those words felt like a death sentence, like a curse carved into my fate and for a long time, that was all I could see. It was only later that I understood what else it brought with it, the one thing I always wanted: Adrian’s affection.When my father died after seventy years as Alpha, he left behind only on
