The Alpha King’s Forbidden Mate
BLURB
For twenty-two years, Maren Vale has been treated as the weakest member of her pack. Born an Omega with a wolf that has never properly awakened, she has spent her life being overlooked, underestimated, and reminded that she is a disappointment.
Even the man she believed was her fated mate chose her younger sister instead, rejecting Maren in front of the entire pack and leaving her with nothing but humiliation.
But when her own family decides to sell her to the royal palace in exchange for financial compensation, Maren finds herself among the women summoned to meet the most feared Alpha in the kingdom.
Alpha King Aldric Voss has a dangerous secret. Once every month, his wolf takes control, becoming so violent that even his closest guards fear approaching him. Every woman brought before him has failed to earn his wolf's acceptance, and some have never returned.
Maren expects to be rejected like every other woman in her life. Instead, the King's terrifying wolf does something nobody has ever witnessed.
It bows before her.
Suddenly, the wolfless Omega nobody wanted becomes the only woman capable of approaching the most dangerous Alpha in the kingdom.

Chapter: Chapter FourMaren's POVThe guard's words stayed with me long after I moved away from the entrance.The King has already killed enough of them.I glanced towards the two men, but they had stopped talking and returned to their positions. Neither seemed concerned that I might have overheard them. Perhaps they were used to discussing such things, or perhaps they simply didn't care what the women waiting inside the hall thought.I wished I had never heard them.Livia approached me, holding her bag against her stomach. "What happened? You look pale."I hesitated before answering. "Nothing. I just heard something.""About the King?" She asked.I nodded slightly.Her eyes widened, and she leaned closer. "What did they say?"Before I could respond, a woman standing near us turned around. She wore an expensive-looking blue dress, and the jewellery around her neck suggested she came from a wealthy family."If you're frightened already, you shouldn't have come," she said, looking between us. "Some of us are

Chapter: Chapter ThreeMaren's POVThe sound of horses approaching the house woke me before sunrise.For a few seconds, I remained still beneath the blanket, staring at the ceiling as I tried to understand what had disturbed my sleep. Then I heard the movement outside again, followed by the sound of a carriage stopping in front of the house.My stomach tightened.I sat up slowly, remembering the conversation I had overheard the previous night. My father had made arrangements with the royal representative, and I had no doubt that the carriage outside had something to do with them.I had hoped he would change his mind overnight. Perhaps he would reconsider sending me away, or at least give me more time to understand what was happening. However, the hurried footsteps outside told me that nobody intended to wait for me.I pushed the blanket aside and got out of bed. After washing my face, I changed into a simple dress and began gathering the few belongings I could carry. There was no point packing everything. I

Chapter: Chapter TWOMaren's POVI didn't remember how I got back to my room. All I could recall was running away from the ceremony, desperate to escape the whispers and the pitying looks that followed me. By the time I reached my bedroom, my legs could barely carry me, and the moment I closed the door, I sank onto the floor.For several minutes, I couldn't do anything but stare at the wall.Rhydian had chosen my sister.The thought was almost impossible to accept, especially when I remembered how excited I had been only hours earlier. I had spent the entire morning imagining what it would feel like to finally stand beside him as his mate. I had imagined his hand holding mine, his smile, and the pride on my parents' faces when the ceremony was over.Instead, he had stood before the entire pack and called me weak. He had reminded everyone that my wolf had never properly awakened and made it clear that he considered me unworthy of becoming his Luna.Then he had rejected me.I pressed my palm against my ches

Chapter: Chapter ONEMaren's POVI had dreamed of my mating ceremony for years, and now that the day had finally arrived, I couldn't stop smiling.Today, Rhydian would officially become my mate.I had imagined the moment countless times, from standing before the sacred altar to feeling his mark against my neck as our wolves finally completed their bond. It was supposed to be the beginning of everything I had ever wanted, and despite the nervousness twisting my stomach, I couldn't remember the last time I had been this happy."Stop moving, Maren. You're going to ruin my work."I laughed, looking at my sister through the mirror. Vesper stood behind me, carefully arranging the last few strands of my hair. She had insisted on helping me get ready, and although I had already thanked her several times, she continued fussing over every little detail."Sorry. I'm just nervous.""There's nothing to be nervous about," she replied, securing a silver pin into my hair. "Rhydian is your mate. Unless you've suddenly for
