“This is your cheque.” He said, making her frown. “I didn’t ask for your money.” She said, and he rolled his eyes. “You didn’t need to.

“You hired me, to babysit a MAN?” Kiara asked glaring at the Russian mafia don who shrugged.

Everyone feared Alpha Nikolai Romanov. He ruled the Northern Territories with an iron fist, commanded the loyalty of powerful Alphas, and carried the blood of one of the oldest Lycan families in existence. But behind the Romanov name was a secret no outsider was ever meant to learn. Every woman marked by a Romanov Alpha died. Nikolai had watched the curse take his mother. He had spent his entire life determined never to repeat his father’s mistake. He would never claim a mate. He would never place his mark on a woman. The only thing he needed to secure his bloodline was a child. So when the council arranged a marriage between him and a wolfless Omega from a disgraced pack, the solution seemed perfect. One year as his wife. One heir. Enough money to disappear forever. No love. No bond. No mark. Until she stepped into his territory… and Nikolai’s wolf whispered the one word he had spent his entire life dreading. Mate. She felt it too. For one fragile moment, she believed fate had finally given the unwanted Omega something that belonged to her. Then Nikolai rejected her in front of everyone. Humiliated and furious, she expected to be sent away. Instead, she learned that Alpha Romanov still intended to marry her. “You rejected me.” She said coldly. “Yes,” “Then why am I still your wife?” “Because rejecting you changed what you are to my wolf. It did not change what you are to my empire…”
