The bastard Alpha's Mate
Under the full moon, Lyra Cynthion watched her entire pack slaughtered by a tyrant alpha. The sole survivor, she was chained in silver and enslaved for years, scarred by abuse that never extinguished her rage.
Captured by Alpha Viktor Alistair, the fated bond sparked hope—until he spat in her face before the entire court:
“I, Viktor Alistair, reject you, Lyra Cynthion, slave, as my fated mate.”
Sentenced to the Ceremonial Hunt, Lyra bleeds, kills, and escapes into the human world. She dyes her silver hair black, hides in Mateo’s bar, and swears to make Viktor beg.
Two years of silence shatter when Dean Valerius walks through the door: rising bastard alpha, storm-blue eyes starving, scent of forbidden forest.
“I am Dean Valerius… your future alpha,” he growls, awakening the wolf she buried.
The same rare blood binds them.
Now she has a choice: use the bastard to destroy Viktor…
or let him destroy her.
Brutal enemies-to-lovers • Soul-crushing rejection • Merciless revenge • Rising alpha • Forbidden mate bond
The rejected wolf is back.
And this time, she hunts.

Chapter: Chapter 22: Mask of NobilityI woke up renewed. The shining sun seemed like an invitation to go out, stretch my legs, and let Shade run free through the forest, but I had barely placed my feet on the floor when the door opened.“Sorry, miss, but you need to change quickly.” Kira entered, carrying a dress, shoes, and various other things. I rubbed my eyes, trying to understand what was happening.“What’s all this so early? Where’s Alpha Valerius?”“An emissary from Viktor has arrived at the pack. The alpha is with him, but you need to be there too.” Kira pushed me toward the bathroom, but I dug my heels into the floor.“What do you mean I need to be there? If it’s an emissary from Viktor, he knows what I look like—he’ll recognize me the moment I appear.”“No, he won’t. You’re no longer a slave, miss. Remember, you are the future Luna of Alpha Valerius, and even if that wolf suspects something, he would never say it openly.”Even though I was freaking out, I d

Chapter: Chapter 21: A Piece of AdviceThe atmosphere in the room lightened, but Kira was still trembling on the floor, breathing with some difficulty. I released my nails from the chair, trying to hide my own reactions. Kael approached, handing a towel to Dean.“There was no need to kill him.” Kael sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. Dean returned the towel with disinterest.“Viktor did not need to send him either. That dog knew exactly what would happen—he just wanted confirmation.”“What are you talking about?” Dean turned, walking toward me with a crooked smile. His face still had a few drops of blood.Without thinking, my body reacted by extending my hand and wiping away the mess. Dean’s eyes flashed with surprise—even I surprised myself and quickly pulled my hand back, averting my gaze from his.“Alpha?” Kael called, but Dean no longer seemed interested in the conversation.“Let’s focus on the original plan. Send the messenger’s body back to Viktor with a resp

Chapter: Chapter 20: Power PlayI crossed my arms, struggling to contain the anger bubbling inside me. He had completely ignored me just a few hours earlier, and now he showed up as if nothing had happened. Kira bowed, lowering her eyes to the floor.“Which alpha has free time to teach dance steps?” I questioned, already returning to the chair where I had been sitting. I could feel his overwhelming presence expanding; Vulcano called to Shade with possessive desire, but I wouldn’t give him the pleasure of destabilizing me. “Kira is already doing an excellent job. You can go do your things.” I gestured with my hand as if shooing away an annoying insect.Dean’s hand wrapped around my fingers, and he pulled me hard. His other hand slid to the small of my back, making me catch my breath. Soft music began to play, and Dean spun me, his feet guiding mine with smooth, fluid movements. I won’t lie—I was surprised by how easily he moved and led me across the empty hall.“You don’t dance as badly a

Chapter: Chapter 19: A New AllyThe silence was oppressive. Dean wasn’t alone—the old wolf was also in the hall, along with a few others. They all looked at me with a mix of curiosity and admiration, but Dean had something more in his gaze that I couldn’t quite identify at that moment.I approached, delicately holding the dress and lowering myself to my knees before the alpha, my right hand resting lightly on my lap with fingertips touching, while a soft smile curved my lips and I lowered my eyes.“I greet Alpha Dean Valerius,” I said in a low, restrained voice, remembering the she-wolves who always hovered around alphas back when I was a slave.The room remained submerged in silence, and I was already beginning to feel uncomfortable with it. I lifted my eyes and saw, in Dean’s brilliant blue ones, a battle raging inside him.“Is this the same wolf who arrived yesterday?” the old wolf asked in a playful tone. Soon everyone began commenting, but Dean remained in complete silence.

Chapter: Chapter 18: PreparationsMy back arched, the sensation of being completely filled—as if I were being torn in half—was painful and pleasurable at the same time. Dean hovered over me, growling with every thrust, his hands braced on the ground beside my head. I cupped his face, pulling him to me and kissing him.I was about to come—I could feel it. My core tightened, my thighs squeezing Dean’s hips, my heart racing, breath caught as fire erupted inside me. Instinctively, I bit his lip, tasting the metallic tang on my tongue. Shade shared the ecstasy with me, and I felt the strong, dominating presence of Vulcano wrapping around me along with Dean.“Fuck, Lyra. You’re squeezing and sucking my cock so hard.” Dean grunted, rising and increasing the rhythm of his thrusts before pulling out and turning away.The hairs on his arm stood on end, muscles tense, veins bulging in his neck and forearms. I wasn’t naïve—I knew that until I was officially Dean’s Luna, we couldn’t risk me getting pre

Chapter: Chapter 17: Training for TwoIt was decided: I would go to this grand event, but Dean and Kael would be there too. I would be Dean’s official companion, and he would introduce me as his mate, but first, I would have a few minutes to do a quick sweep and mingle among Viktor’s most noble guests.“I need one hour,” I said to Dean, the old wolf, and Kael, who had arrived a few minutes later.“Do you really think I’m going to let you wander among a pack of vultures for an hour?” Dean questioned.“Do you think you’re the only alpha invited to this horror ball?” Kael coughed, holding back a laugh, while the old wolf didn’t even try to hide his amusement. “As soon as everyone finds out I’ll be your Luna, they’ll see me as a threat and keep their distance.”“There won’t be anyone to protect you if that dog recognizes you.” I swallowed hard, knowing Dean was right.There was no guarantee Viktor wouldn’t recognize me, even if I changed my appearance and scent. He had been chose

Chapter: Chapter 118: Internal WarIt was already visible from the entrance hall outside the building that something was wrong. The doorman was agitated, juggling calls, his face pale, sweat soaking his skin and leaving dark stains on his clothes. When we approached, panic overtook the poor man.“Mr… Mr. Clarke, I can explain.” At that moment, Cassian’s private elevator dinged, its doors opened, and two men wearing clothes that didn’t match the suits of Cassian’s men emerged, laughing and joking with each other.“What the hell is this?” Harry said through clenched teeth. The men stopped instantly, their laughter turning to pure terror. “What are you doing here? Who authorized your entry?” The men lowered their heads, terrified.The guards who’d accompanied me appeared, dragging those men out.“What’s going on?” I asked, following Harry to the elevator. He pressed the button, and it began moving.“That’s what we’re about to find out, miss.”The doors opened to a sc

Chapter: Chapter 117: The Weight of a SecretMy body trembled uncontrollably. Liam dropped to his knees, one hand braced on the floor, ready to look under the bed.“What are you doing? It’s my phone alarm ringing,” Diane scolded, but Liam didn’t seem convinced. “Get up already—we’re late. You’re meeting young Ward, aren’t you?”“Yeah…” Liam stood, letting out a long, noisy breath. “I hope it’s to tell me my position in the firm. I’m tired of sucking up to that spoiled brat.”I watched their feet move away and leave through the door. The sound of their footsteps descending the stairs, the steps creaking under the pressure. Diane and Liam’s voices sounded muffled and distant, making it impossible for me to understand them. I preferred to stay hidden for a few more minutes after hearing the front door close.I slowly crawled out of my hiding spot, alert to any sound in the house. I grabbed my phone, seeing Amy’s message asking me to hurry.“Damn.” I clutched my bag and left the room, c

Chapter: Chapter 116: The End of SecretsSitting on the floor, I set the box lid aside and began examining its contents more carefully. Among several old newspaper clippings and other photographs, there were also numerous travel receipts, but I didn’t recognize any of those places.“They’re all places outside the country. Italy, Rome, Russia.” Each receipt showed a new country, farther and farther away, and all seemed to be short trips. “What was my father doing in those places?”I didn’t know what to think about all of it. There were also several unsent letters, a small velvet box in a dark burgundy shade, and several large envelopes at the bottom of the box.Amid everything, some newspaper clippings caught my attention—all seemed to mention families connected to the Moores, but there were also reports of missing people, especially the daughter of a magnate who owned a large hotel chain. However, none of the articles had photos of the people—just brief descriptions and desperate family appeals.I glanced at my watch. Time w

Chapter: Chapter 115: A Hidden TreasureI quickly devised a plan. While Jack was still in the mansion, I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a note to Amy. I felt awful using my friend this way, but it was the only way I could think of. In the note, I used the code we had when we needed each other’s help and invited her to afternoon tea at the café we always went to.I ran through the corridors and found him talking to Harry at the front door, ready to leave.“Excuse me, Mr. Harris.” I rushed over, holding out the small piece of paper. “Could you give this to Amy?”Jack raised an eyebrow, exchanging quick glances with Harry. He took the paper and looked at me suspiciously. “May I?” he asked, and I nodded.After reading it, Jack passed it to Harry, who read it and

Chapter: Chapter 114: A Lonely SearchAs soon as I was alone in the room, I started my research.Even though I had free access to Cassian’s office computer for my studies, it would be risky—the search history would be proof I was lying to him. So I used the excuse of studying to avoid being bothered and switched to searching on the phone Cassian had given me.I believed he wasn’t monitoring it because the box was sealed when he handed it to me. It would’ve been impossible to install any hacking software on the device.I began with simple, obvious things: my parents’ surnames and my mother’s maiden name. Then I dug deeper, but the results were far more terrifying than I’d imagined.There was no James Reed or Laura Reed. No marriage certificates, no legal records, no documents at all. Not even my birth certificate—which I kept in a hidden folder with other important papers—appeared on any government website.“That’s imposs

Chapter: Chapter 113: Dirt and LiesMy heart raced, even though the request wasn’t suspicious. I’d lived so many years under Diane and Liam’s control, every contact with relatives cut off. It was only natural to be curious about whether I had any living family.My palms grew sweaty. Fear that Cassian might suspect something—even though the only evidence had been destroyed with the phone.“Can I know the reason for this sudden interest?” His tone seemed calm, but it was clear the topic displeased him. I swallowed hard, looking away to hide my discomfort at lying.“It’s not sudden. I’ve always been curious about my paternal and maternal grandparents, the fact I never met them. Not knowing if you have relatives, someone who could’ve saved you from a hellish life…” I bit my lip, fres
