Set up to break her bond with her Alpha mate after the Lycan King passed a decree that no alpha was allowed to reject or break off their bonds with their mates unless the mates did it themselves, Ellie Fowler could hardly believe her luck when by some strange fate, she's immediately bonded to the Lycan King himself, who now thinks she's nothing but a disloyal mate and worse, an Omega. Lycan King, Archer Daalmans, has a year to find his mate to prevent him from losing his strength or worse, dying, and he is determined to find her only for that reason. However, he is disappointed to find his mate is a dirty Omega who doesn't know her place, and he wants nothing to do with her, but he can't seem to keep his eyes off her or stop himself from protecting her.

“Oh, baby! You’re taking it so well,” Alpha Vito, my mate groaned with a thrust, but the she-wolf underneath him wasn't me. I was forced to watch, as he made love to another she-wolf.
My heart jacked, intense pain washing all over my body as I watched them once again, wondering when this torture would end.
“You fuck me so good. I think I’m about to…” he groaned louder, this time taking a fistful of her blond hair, pulling it back. There was no sign of guilt for me at all on his face.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. A mate was supposed to cherish and respect you regardless of background or status, but mine hated me with passion, all because I wasn’t what he wanted, and She was.
A rather loud cry of pleasure filled the room, and I momentarily shut my eyes in anticipation of the increased pain I knew would follow. As anticipated, my blood ran cold and my body went limp as I fell to the ground, groaning in agony; weak, tired, and completely done with the misery that was my life.
“This bitch!” I heard Vito growl, and I instantly knew he was referring to me, but I couldn’t move, couldn’t run to save myself, or cry for help. That was the consequence of a toxic mate bond, pain, and weakness that was enough to render a strong human dead. In my case, it was worse because my mate was an Alpha, far bigger and stronger than regular wolves.
“How dare you close your eyes?” His thunderous voice and heavy footsteps approached me, hovering just above my collapsed body.
“I told you to keep your stupid eyes open, did I not?” His question arrived with a kick in my ribs, cutting my air supply.
“Answer me! You retard! Did I tell you to keep your eyes open or not?”
My lack of a reply seemed to anger Vito even more than closing my eyes did, as in the next moment, I felt a stinging pain on the side of my body, and the sound of a whip echoing through the room.
“Vito please,” I begged weakly, forcing my eyes open as much as I could to look at him. She giggled from the short distance between us on the bed, and anger washed over me.
“Get up!” Vito ordered, but I couldn’t do as he said because it would take a few seconds more for the pain of his actions to subside.
“I said get up, you freak. Don’t make me repeat myself!” He warned, his dark brows furrowing with intense madness in his dark eyes.
I forced myself up, knowing very well that it would be better to stand up now than to receive another kick in my ribs or worse, another beating.
Rage burned through my gaze as I took in my mate's appearance; angry and completely naked, like the wolf on his bed, Nadia, and I was unable to control myself. Mustering all the courage and saliva I could manage, I spat on him.
“Just end this! Reject me so I can go my way!” I yelled with hot tears roaming down my face, hoping he would snap and do as I said. I had had enough of living as a slave in a pack I should be anything but, tired of being deprived of basic life amenities, and even the opportunity to go to school because Vito thought I wasn’t worth it.
“Shut up! How dare you command me! You weak bitch!” Vito couldn't believe what he had heard. He took the whip again, but this time, it was caught in Nadia’s pull.
“Be careful Vito. Don’t you dare do it! You know the King’s command. You can’t reject her,” she emerged from the bed with a sly smile, her naked body glistening with sweat under the ray of sun that infiltrated the room
“Don’t forget he’s coming tomorrow. She has to appear unharmed,” the words rolled off her lips lazily, but her brown eyes burned with anger.
And again Vito's angry eyes turned to me, he had to admit that Alpha King hates werewolves who don't take their mates seriously. When Alpha King found out how Vito had abused me, I was sure that Vito the asshole would lose his Alpha title.
I laughed, mocking his cowardice, but Vito no longer fell for it as he pinched my chin and spat at me. “Bitch, you should be grateful for your luck.” He said angrily.
“Come, darling, let’s get out of here. I know a great place that will make us more comfortable.” Nadia came over to where we stood to calm him, her tongue sliding over his chest, and as Vito tried to enter her, she pushed him away and walked over to me.
“And you, make sure to clean this place. Make sure it sparkles, or I will make you wish for what's worse than today's.” She said in a threatening tone. picking up her clothes that lay on the ground, along with Vito’s, hooking her arms around his as they exited the room.
I fell to the ground as more tears rolled down my face. I might’ve been brave enough to spit on Vito, but I knew deep down that if Nadia had not said something, I’d be lying in the pool of my blood, wishing I had kept my mouth shut.
I hated Nadia with everything in me, but I was grateful to her that I got to live through another day.
I moved slowly, wiping my face as I started cleaning the room, taking out the messed up sheet filled with the releases of both their desires, telling myself it didn’t matter since I did not love Vito, but it did matter.
I wish I had the guts to betray him, to get mixed up with another wolf so our bond would be canceled, but I couldn’t. I was not brave enough, plus I didn’t know the type of punishment that I would face if I did that.
When I was done cleaning, I headed back to my house. The door creaked loudly when I opened it, the missing parts of the house greeting me as I walked in. It used to be my favorite place on earth. It belonged to my parents who built it with their hard-earned money and love, but since Vito took over our pack, he ran it to the ground, destroying everything precious about it. Even so, I still held a deep affection for it because it was the only place I could truly call home.
I went up to my room, which used to be my parent's room, and took the last surviving portrait of them, hugging it tightly to my chest as fresh tears graced my face.
“I swear to you, Mother, Father, I will not die. I will live and seek revenge against everyone who has harmed me. I’ll do whatever it takes to rebuild this pack. Just watch,” I sobbed the words. Then I remembered Nadia said something about the Lycan King visiting.
The tears dried from my face almost instantly as a plan formed in my head. This was the perfect opportunity to expose Vito’s misdeeds and hypocrisy to the Lycan King.
“Just watch…”
Ellie.I had been feeling different for weeks now. My appetite changed, my energy fluctuated, and lately, even my wolf seemed quieter than usual. I suspected the truth but hadn’t dared confirm it. Not until this morning.Standing in front of the mirror, I pressed my hand against my lower abdomen, feeling the faintest of curves. A small smile crept onto my face. There was no denying it now—I was pregnant. My heart fluttered with excitement. Archer had always wanted children, and now, the thought of telling him made my pulse race. But I knew I wanted to tell in a way that would make the moment special, so I went in search of my friends.“Julie! Gilly!” I whispered as I rushed into the room where they were chatting. Both of them turned to me with curious looks.Julie’s eyes widened, immediately sensing something was different.“Ellie, what’s going on?”“I think…” I began, but then corrected myself, “No. I know. I’m pregnant.”Gilly gasped, her hands flying to her mouth.“Oh, Ellie! This
Ellie.Archer’s eyelids fluttered open slowly, the usual sharpness in his gaze softened by tiredness. Relief flooded through me as I smiled down at him, a warmth spreading in my chest.Without thinking, I hugged him, wrapping my arms around his neck tightly. His body was still weak, but his arms managed to slip around me, holding me close.He smirked, his voice low and slightly hoarse.“I really don’t know how I could ever live without you, Ellie,” he said, his lips curving into a half-smile, “You’ve saved my life more times than I can count.”I leaned back just enough to look into his eyes, brushing a few stray strands of hair from his forehead.“That’s only because you saved my life countless times when I was an omega,” I replied softly, my fingers still lingering on his skin.“Do you know… if you hadn’t taken me away from Crimson Pack that day, Vito would’ve killed me.”His brow furrowed, a shadow passing over his expression.“I meant what I said when I told you Vito and Nadine dru
Ellie.Archer stepped forward, fists clenched at his sides, muscles tense.“What do you want, Seraphina?” His voice was low, brimming with barely contained rage.She laughed softly as if we were sharing a joke, “Oh, I have so many plans,” she replied, a hint of malice lacing her words, “But most importantly, I’ve discovered something extraordinary during my time, going around,” her sinister smile intensified as she gestured to the far side of the room.I followed her gaze and felt my breath hitch. There, carved into a stone, was an intricate seal that pulsed with a dark, ominous energy. It seemed to throb with a life of its own, casting a strange glow that began to illuminate the room.“Behold,” Seraphina said, her voice dripping with excitement, “the seal of forbidden magic. A power so great that it could change everything.”“What are you planning?” I asked, my heart racing. I could sense Ru’s agitation, a low growl reverberating through our bond as we moved closer, studying the seal
Ellie.“This must be the doing of the witches,” Tristian said and I nodded.Since witches were known for experimenting with animals and even wolves, I believed it was possible.“Get ready,” Archer commanded, his voice steady and calm. His eyes flickered red, taking in every detail of the surroundings.Suddenly, the creatures appeared—animals twisted into monsters by dark magic. Their glowing eyes and grotesque forms lunged at us from the palace, snarling and snapping.Ru surged forward, and I shifted in an instant, claws tearing into the first beast that came at me. It was a tainted. I ducked as it swiped at me, saliva dripping from its mouth, I struck hard at its side, sending it skidding back. Its howl filled the early morning air, but it wasn’t done yet. It twisted back toward me, fury in its glowing eyes.Archer moved beside me like a protective rock.“Don’t let them surround us!” he shouted, his sword flashing in the sunlight as he cut down another beast, “Stay on the move!” He h
Ellie.The dawn was just breaking, casting a soft golden light over the assembled warriors.They had come from all corners of the kingdom in their large numbers, their expressions set in serious determination.Archer stood at the front, his presence commanding as he addressed them.“We are not waiting for the witches to come to us,” Archer’s voice boomed over the crowd.The warriors stood at attention, their eyes fixed on him.“We’re going to hunt them down. We’re going to seek them out, and we’re going to exterminate every last one of them.”A murmur of approval rippled through the crowd, the tension building in the air. It had been a week since we discovered the serum worked. I’d spent three days on lockdown, recovering after giving so much of my blood for the serum. It hadn’t been easy, but now, after my rest, I felt ready. More than ready. I needed to be out there with them.Beside me, Tristian shifted his weight, his gaze focused on Archer. He hadn’t wanted to leave Gilly’s side,
Ellie.“We found a way to make it work!”Archer and I exchanged a look, a slow smile forming on both of our faces. The tension that had been hovering over us for days seemed to lift just a little.“Show us, then,” Archer said, his voice calm but eager. He slipped his hand into mine as Julie gestured for us to follow her.We walked through the halls of the research center, the walls gleaming white under the fluorescent lights. The scent of chemicals and something distinctly metallic filled the air, making my nose twitch. My mind raced, trying to piece together how they’d done it—how they’d managed to do it.Julie led us into the main lab, where an animal—a sleek, muscular dog—stood next to a warrior wolf. The warrior looked calm, though I couldn’t help the slight edge of concern that rippled through me.“Is it safe to use a warrior for this test?” I asked, squeezing Archer’s hand a little tighter.Julie nodded, her smile not faltering for a second. “Completely safe. We’ve run simulatio
Ellie.In the following days, leading up to a week, I had a routine.Every morning, I’d submit more blood for testing, spend hours in the lab with Julie and the others, searching for a way to make it work, then I’d head over to the training grounds for training with the warriors.And Archer worried more with each passing day. I could see it in the lines forming on his face, the way his hands would linger on my shoulders, as if grounding himself to make sure I was still alive and well, when I returned.Today was no different. I had just returned from training with the other wolves, my muscles sore, when I found Archer in our room, waiting for me. His eyes flicked to the bandage on my arm before locking with mine.“This can’t go on much longer, Ellie,” he said quietly, standing from the chair he’d been sitting in, “If Julie doesn’t come up with something concrete this time, I’m putting an end to it.”I sighed, pulling my hair out of its messy bun and running a hand through it.“Archer,
Ellie.“Ellie, can I talk to you? Alone?” Archer asked, his voice was soft but firm.I nodded, following him out of the research lab. Julie stayed behind with the other seven wolves, their faces a mix of shock and curiosity.The door closed behind us, and the silence that settled between Archer and me felt heavier with each passing step. He wasn’t saying anything, his jaw tight, and I found myself pressing my lips together, wondering what he was thinking.We walked in silence through the halls until we finally reached our room and when the door clicked shut, and I turned to face him, the tension between us lingering like a storm about to break.“Are you angry with me?” I asked, unable to keep the question to myself any longer.Archer shook his head, but his eyes were serious as they met mine. He reached out, taking my hand, his touch soft despite the weight in his gaze.“No, I’m not angry, Ellie. I just… I need to know what your plan is.”I swallowed, my heart racing a little.“I’m wi
Ellie.As Julie and I walked out of the royal hospital, I could feel my heart banging loudly in my chest.But just as we stepped through the entrance, we encountered Jacob, who was making his way inside. He bowed respectfully, a warm smile breaking across his face as he greeted us.“Your Highness, Lady Julie,” he said, his tone a mix of formality and friendliness.“Jacob,” I replied, returning his smile. “How are things?”“Busy, as always,” he said with a slight chuckle. “But I can’t complain because everyone is going through it.”“You’re right,” Julie nodded.“Has there been any progress on your end? about Gilly?” I asked and he shook his head.“She wasn’t poisoned, so there’s no antidote she can be given. She wasn’t cursed, so there’s no ritual we can do to lift the curse. I think we just have to let her regain consciousness herself,” He said and I sighed.“Thank you, Jacob,” I told him and with a nod, Julie and I continued on our way, leaving the hospital behind.But even as we wal
