MasukIn a world where werewolves are on the brink of extinction due to an ancient curse, Valerie Sinclair struggles to survive as a human. Her life takes a devastating turn when she enters a contract marriage with Draven Mourningale, the charismatic Alpha Heir. What begins as a transactional union and then blooming romance quickly unravels when he takes their newborn child from her, reveals his relationship with her best friend and serves her divorce papers—leaving Valerie shattered and alone. Determined to rebuild her life, Valerie spirals into a night of recklessness that leads to a one-night stand with a mysterious stranger. But fate has other plans. The man she gave herself to is none other than Malachi Mourningale—Draven’s father, a powerful Alpha and arguably the most dangerous man in the city. Worse still, he has known she was his fated mate all along. Now trapped between betrayal, forbidden desires, and a world of supernatural politics she never knew existed, Valerie is forced into a destiny that could either save or destroy her. And Malachi is no longer willing to let her go.

All I can do is stand petrified amongst the sea of other employees—while trying not to lose my shit.The CEO still has his gaze on me. Those golden eyes have this weird effect on me despite the distance. I recall a certain night… one where a mysterious man had his head between my thighs before he railed me into the best orgasm of my life.Chills run under my skin so hard that my grip on the box between my hands falters.Could the CEO really be—“Thank you,” the thunderous rumble of a deep baritone snaps me out of my head. I blink, eyes trailing back to the older man on the stage.He no longer has his gaze on me, wearing a small smile as he goes on. “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. For those of you who aren't aware, I am Malachi Mourningale. CEO of this conglomerate.”Claps resound from every corner of the lobby. I would too if my hands weren't so occupied.Malachi
Valerie's POV ~~~~~A WEEK LATERHeads turn the second I step into Mourningale International.Not out of respect—out of curiosity.When I take the elevator to the Executive floor, there are two ladies behind me. Both are silent when I walk in. Now they're whispering, one of them even saying my name.I close my eyes, waiting patiently for the elevator's ding.Once it comes, I waltz out without looking back. I head straight for my office—or rather, my former office. During the weekend I'd gotten an email. I’ve been demoted from Draven’s Executive Assistant.I'm only here to pack my shit and take it to my new post as HR support.Sure enough, this floor isn't quiet either. People cut me a plethora of looks. Some pitiful. Others mocking. Most are disdainful, eyeing me from head to toes like I'm trash.“I heard she and the COO finally got a divorce.” A man mutters to his female colleague as I stride past them.She chuckles. “You say ‘finally’ like you've been waiting for it to happen.”“Hm
Malachi's POV ~~~~~As a man who's spent years mastering restraint, there were a few things I couldn't control.Valerie Sinclair… is quickly becoming one of them.I'm standing beside the bed the next morning, buttoning up my shirt. Unable to peel my eyes off her sleeping form. She looks so peaceful compared to the chaos last night.Her back faces me, body covered by the bed sheets. Her silky black hair spills in waves behind her, still looking so beautiful despite all the sins we committed.My wolf is barely able to control himself the longer I stare—so I turn away, grunting to myself. This has been my life for the last two years. Ignoring instinct. My urges. The impossible pull of the bond, as if it doesn't exist.But oh, it does. And I've known this ever since the first day I lay eyes on her.I still remember it as if it were yesterday. The way Draven talked about introducing me to his wife. “Then the way I waited at a gala organised by the company that fateful night… only to have
[Warning: R18 Scene ahead.]Valerie's POV ~~~~~~“If you were planning to take advantage of me…” I tilt my head slightly. “I just want to say you’re doing a terrible job right now.”I hold back a laugh when I notice the way his arm turns rigid in my grip. He stays silent for quite a while. Enough to make my mind go wild with thoughts I didn't know I was capable of having.God, his suit was so tight, I bet he packs a lot of muscle underneath. And I'll love more than anything to see them right now.“Again…” he clears his throat. “You're intoxicated and don't know what you're talking about.”“I know exactly what I'm talking about.” I refuse to let go, my fingers only digging harder. “What's wrong? You don't… find me attractive?”The air feels heavier before the words fully land. He turns to face me fully, his shadow looming over me in a way that makes me feel equal parts safe and terrified.I notice the way those golden orbs glow even brighter than the room's lighting — or maybe that's
Valerie's POV ~~~~~Three weeks ago, I had a husband, a child, and a future.Tonight… I have tequila.“Girl, isn't there some kind of rule against drinking weeks after birth?” The worry from my friend's voice was almost imperceptible to me as I down what might be my fourth glass of tequila.Or at
Valerie's POV ~~~~~I should have known something was wrong the moment I heard my best friend’s ringtone in my husband’s house.I'm barely able to hold my phone between both hands, struggling to hang up as the ringing persists. It stops, my heart hooking in my throat the next second.I just gave b
