His Mistaken Mate
I wasn't supposed to be here.
The dress wasn't made for my body. The vows weren't written for my name. The man standing at the altar — cold-eyed, jaw like carved stone, power rolling off him like a second skin — he wasn't waiting for me.
He was waiting for my sister.
But my sister is gone, and someone had to bleed in her place. So here I am — Nyra, an Omega nobody, the pack's afterthought, the girl they forgot existed — standing before the most feared Alpha in the known world, about to become his wife.
Kael Dravon doesn't make mistakes. He doesn't tolerate them either.
And I am the biggest one he's ever been handed.
He makes that clear from the moment our eyes meet — mine full of barely-swallowed terror, his full of nothing at all. He doesn't want me. He doesn't intend to keep me any longer than the treaty requires. I'm a placeholder. A warm body with the wrong name wearing the right bloodline.
I tell myself I can survive this. That I've survived worse.
But surviving Kael Dravon means staying invisible, staying small, staying quiet — and the longer I live inside his world, the harder all three become.
Because his world is brutal. His enemies are vicious. And the secrets buried inside his pack's walls are the kind that get people killed.
Including girls who ask too many questions.
Including girls who start to feel things they were never supposed to feel.
Including me.
I wasn't supposed to be here.
But maybe — just maybe — neither was he.

Chapter: Chapter Five: Wolves Don't Trust Easily~ Nyra ~ I didn't sleep that night either. The figure at the tree line kept playing on repeat in my mind. I'd stood at that window for nearly twenty minutes waiting for it to reappear. It never did. Eventually the sun dropped completely and the forest became a wall of black and I had no choice but to step back and accept that I had no idea what I'd seen. Could have been a pack member on patrol. Could have been an animal. Could have been something else entirely. The problem was the stillness. Animals moved. Patrol wolves moved. Whatever I had seen had just stood there, completely motionless, facing the building. That wasn't a patrol. That was surveillance. I got dressed early the next morning before anyone knocked on my door. Simple clothes — dark trousers, a plain top, flat shoes. Nothing that would slow me down if I needed to move fast. A habit from home that I saw no reason to drop. Sena came at seven with breakfast on a tray. She seemed slightly less uncertain than the day

Chapter: Chapter Four: First Rules~ Nyra ~ He knew. I was almost certain of it. The way he said of course it is — calm, unbothered, like he was tucking the information away for later rather than dismissing it — that wasn't the response of a man who believed me. That was the response of a man who had decided to let me think he believed me. There was a difference. A big one. I thought about it through the entire post-ceremony gathering in the main hall, where pack members filed past us and gave formal greetings and I stood at Kael's side and smiled and said thank you and tried very hard not to look like someone whose heart was beating slightly too fast. He stood beside me the whole time. Close enough that I was aware of him every single second — the height of him, the quiet weight of his presence — but he didn't speak to me. Not once. He greeted his pack members, accepted their acknowledgments, and occasionally responded to something an elder said. He didn't introduce me. Not as Lena. Not as anything. I was jus

Chapter: Chapter Three: The Wrong Bride~ Kael ~ I knew something was wrong the moment she stepped out of the car. I was watching from the window of my study on the third floor. I always watched arrivals from up there. It gave me the advantage of seeing people before they saw me — reading them before they had the chance to perform for my benefit. I had seen photographs of Lena Holt. High-ranking Omega, soon to be Beta-blooded through the treaty terms. Confident posture. Easy smile. The kind of woman who walked into rooms expecting to be welcomed. The girl who stepped out of that car was not her. She was smaller. Quieter in the way she carried herself — not timid, but careful. Controlled. Like every step was a decision rather than a habit. She stood up straight in the courtyard with a dozen of my wolves staring at her and she didn't flinch, didn't reach up to fix her hair, didn't look around for someone to anchor herself to. She just stood there and breathed. And then Maren said the name — *Lena Holt* — and the girl h

Chapter: Chapter Two: The Alpha's TerritoryThe Dravon Pack territory was nothing like home. I realized that the moment the car crossed the border and the trees changed. Back in Holt Pack land, the forest was ordinary — tall enough, green enough, the kind of trees you stopped noticing after a while. But here the trees were massive. Ancient. They pressed close to both sides of the road like walls, their branches tangling overhead and blocking out the sky. It was midday but it felt like dusk. I sat in the back seat between two guards who hadn't said a single word to me since we left. There was a third guard driving. Nobody had introduced themselves. Nobody had asked if I needed anything. They had simply put me in the car with a small bag of Lena's things — because apparently my own belongings weren't considered worth bringing — and driven. Five hours. Five hours of silence and dark trees and the slow, creeping understanding that I was not going home. I pressed my face close to the window and watched the territory pass.

Chapter: Chapter One: The Girl Nobody SeesPrologue : I was never supposed to be standing here. The dress I'm wearing belongs to my sister. The vows I'm about to say were written for her. Even the man waiting at the front of this hall — cold, powerful, terrifying — was never meant to be my problem. But my sister is gone. And someone had to take her place. That someone is me. Nyra. An Omega — the lowest rank in my pack. The girl nobody ever really notices. Three days ago I was sitting on the floor of the back laundry room reading a borrowed book, and now I'm here, in a hall full of strangers, about to marry a man they say is the most dangerous Alpha alive. His name is Kael Dravon. He hasn't looked at me once since I arrived. Not when I was brought in, not during the elder's long speech, not even when I was placed right in front of him. To him, I'm just a body filling a spot. A replacement. A girl with the wrong name wearing the right bloodline. I understand that. I really do. What I didn't expect was how angry
