LOGINGuerero returned after a year of war. But he didn't come back alone. Standing beside him was a beautiful woman carrying his child. Three months pregnant. Azerbel's world shattered. Guerero was her fated mate. The man she had loved. The man she had waited for. But during the war between werewolves and lycans, Guerero made a choice. He chose another woman. And rejected Azerbel. Heartbroken and humiliated, Azerbel thought losing her mate was the worst thing that could happen. She was wrong. At the peace treaty party, she met Genaro, the Lycan Alpha. Rude. Arrogant. Feared by everyone. And completely impossible to ignore. To everyone's shock, Genaro publicly asked Azerbel to become his mate. Not for love. But as a symbol of peace between their two races. Guerero was stunned. His rejected mate was leaving. And the worst part? He couldn't stop her. Because Guerero wasn't Alpha yet. His father still held the title. As secrets from the war begin to surface, Azerbel must decide: Should she forgive the mate who broke her heart... Or accept the hand of the dangerous Lycan who might change her fate forever? Because sometimes... the greatest betrayal leads to the most unexpected love.

It reminds people who I am."A bitter smile touched his mouth but never reached his eyes."And who he is."Something changed in his expression.Not fear.More like the tension of someone who had spent too much of his life beneath another man's shadow."Everyone knows I'm his heir," Valduz continued. "And everyone knows what comes with that."But Hope Elara barely heard the rest.One thing he'd said earlier kept echoing in her mind.Her heritage.A cold feeling crept up her spine."What are you hiding from me?" she asked again.This time, Valduz didn't avoid the question."Your heritage."Hope Elara went still.Her heritage.Her mother.The pieces connected so suddenly that she almost stopped breathing."You know something about my mother?"Her voice cracked."And you said nothing?"Disbelief quickly turned into anger."Afte
Everything hurt.Not normal pain.Burning.Like Hope Elara's body no longer fully belonged to her.Even breathing felt wrong.Every inhale scraped through her chest.Where was she?Where were her babies?How long had she been unconscious?Panic tried to rise, but her body was too weak to hold onto it.Then something shifted beside her.Not movement.Presence.Something strong enough to press against her senses even with her eyes closed.She didn't recognize it.And somehow, she did.The scent reached her first.Warm.Deep.Earth after rain.Pine.And something darker underneath.It pulled at her immediately.Calmed her.Hope Elara hated that it did.Because the last time she'd trusted that feeling, everything had fallen apart."She's been like this since you left."Maria.Hope Elara knew that voice.Relief flickered weakly through her."She's waking up," Maria continued. "But this isn't how it was supposed to happen."Another voice cut through the room.Lower.Sharper."If you're not
"Sit down."Valduz did.Violetta immediately started fixing his hair with quick, efficient movements, like she was annoyed the world kept falling apart long enough to interrupt her work.Across the room, Perry's keyboard clicked nonstop.Fast.Sharp.Loud enough to scrape against Valduz's nerves.The apartment felt too bright.Too awake.No one here seemed to know how to relax anymore."How is home?" Valduz asked, mostly to break the pressure building inside his head."As bad as expected," Violetta answered without looking at him. "Power struggles. Old rules. Men pretending the world still works the way it did fifty years ago.""Traditionalists," Perry muttered from across the room.Her fingers never stopped typing."They want control without understanding how much the world has already changed.""I get that," Valduz said quietly.Violetta snorted."My father still thinks he's in charge."There was no heat in her voice.Just cold irritation."He isn't.""You talked to him?""A few tim
Valduz's chest tightened the second Perry and Violetta looked away at the same time.Too quick.Too practiced.Like they'd already agreed on the lie before he entered the room.Something inside him sharpened.He shoved the doctor's hands away before the man could finish checking the wound near his ribs."What did you do?"His voice came out rough.Violetta glanced at Perry.Perry almost smiled.That was enough."Don't play games with me," Valduz said quietly. "What did you do?"Perry shrugged as if they were discussing something ordinary instead of blood and betrayal."I took a contract. It helped all of us."Valduz's wolf went completely still.Listening.Waiting."How?""I don't know every detail. We don't ask questions." Perry paused. "But your father wanted someone gone."Cold recognition slid through Valduz."And when I found out who your mate was..." Perry tilted her head. "It became easy to connect the pieces."His stomach dropped."What did you do?"This time, the question cam
Azerbel’s Point of ViewI felt it before I saw him.A gaze.Heavy.Sharp.Unmoving.It slid over my skin and made me shiver.Slowly, I lifted my head...and froze.A man was staring at me.Not just looking.Watching.Like he was studying me.Like he already knew something about me that I didn't.My
Azerbel’s Point of ViewSkylar's words helped.Just a little.It felt...comforting.To know someone understood.She gave me a soft smile.Relieved."I've been telling her the same thing, Luna Lorraine," she said lightly.But I heard it.The sadness hidden beneath her voice.I lowered my gaze.I co
Azerbel’s Point of ViewFor a second, Guerero lowered his head.He looked... broken.Like something inside him was crushing him.Like he was carrying a weight too heavy to bear.But I couldn't feel sorry for him.Not after this.All I felt was pain.Sharp.Burning.This was him?This was the man I
Azerbel had imagined this moment a thousand times.But never like this.Never with Guerero sitting beside another woman.Never with him unable to look her in the eyes.And never...with him choosing someone else."This is Ruby," Guerero said.His voice was low.Heavy."The woman I mentioned in my l
