LOGINRhea is just a lovely omega working as a maid in the pack estate, saving every dollar she can to go to college. All her life, she’s dreamed of finding her mate — someone who would love her, respect her, and make her feel complete. She never asked for much. Just a kind man who’d treat her right. That’s what she wants. That’s what her mother wants. And her best friend Kale, the youngest son of the Beta, just so happens to fit that dream perfectly. During the Mate Ceremony, she finally finds her mate… but it’s not Kale like she hoped. It’s Alpha Dorian. The cold, ruthless Alpha known for his icy eyes and iron fists — and worse, everyone knows he’s already engaged to Vivienne, the daughter of a powerful neighboring Alpha. This has to be a joke. Rhea wants nothing to do with him. She plans to reject the bond and stay far away. But when her mother falls dangerously ill, and desperation sets in, she realizes she doesn’t have the luxury of pride. “Be my mistress,” he whispers, pinning her to the wall, his cold breath brushing her neck and sending a shiver down her spine. “And I will help you.” Now, Rhea is trapped in a secret affair with the Alpha she swore she hates — but every time he touches her, her body betrays her.
View MoreRhea POVI was sitting beside Mom, who was still unconscious, gently wiping her face with a damp cloth when my phone began to beep.I only glanced at the screen once, and the moment I saw Dorian’s name, my grip on the towel tightened.At first, I tried to ignore it, letting the relentless vibration rattle against the nightstand. But when it just wouldn’t stop, I did something I had never dared to do before.I picked up the phone, held down the power button, and deliberately switched it off.A heavy breath escaped my lips as the screen went completely dark.“Mom, you better wake up,” I whispered, setting the phone aside before gently brushing a stray lock of hair away from her pale face. The doctor had said she was stable now, which meant she should be opening her eyes at any moment.“I’ve given up so much for this not to be in vain,” I murmured under my breath, my thoughts drifting back to my first night with Dorian. The day my life changed forever. The day I traded away my dignity ju
Dorian POVI returned to my chambers feeling even worse than I had when I first left that morning. At least back then, I could put a name to what I was feeling. Anger. Rage. The desperate urge to kill.Now, I was returning completely overwhelmed by a storm of emotions so intense that I had gone numb.I dragged myself into my room like a walking corpse, the heavy silence pressing down on my shoulders with every step. Moving on pure autopilot, I crouched in front of the cupboard I had kept securely locked for years, desperate to find anything that could make me feel human again.My hands searched through the dark shelves until my fingers brushed against the woven bracelet Rhea had made for me on my birthday.A shaky breath escaped my lips.I stared at it for a long moment, my thumb slowly tracing the uneven threads she had carefully woven together before I gently placed it back where it belonged.As I withdrew my hand, my fingers grazed the edge of a small glossy photograph.My chest ti
Dorian POVMy hands shook violently as memories I had spent a lifetime trying to bury came rushing back all at once, burning through my chest like acid.“You respected her so much that on the very night we buried her, while her body was still fresh beneath the dirt,” my voice cracked with fury, “you were in your chambers fucking your mistress?”“That is different…”“I learned a lot from you that day,” I cut him off, blood finally trickling down the side of my forehead from the cut the silver tip had left behind.I took a slow step toward him, completely unfazed by the difference in our size, and looked him straight in the eyes.“You taught me so well how a husband should behave.”I took another step forward, my voice eerily calm.“So why are you angry with me? Why are you so furious that I chose to become exactly like you?” I asked, staring directly into his cold gray eyes as a humorless smile slowly spread across my face.“You should be proud of me. Proud that I became exactly like y
Dorian POVRagnar strode into the solarium, his heavy staff striking the marble floor with slow, rhythmic clicks before he finally came to a stop.His cold gray eyes swept across the entire room.The shattered glass scattered across the floor.The overturned table and spilled fruit.Then they settled on me, his beloved son, with one hand wrapped tightly around the throat of my pregnant wife as I pinned her against the wall.Within seconds, his expression darkened into something lethal.“Have you lost your mind?” he roared, his powerful Alpha voice filling every corner of the solarium. “Let her go.”The force behind his command struck me like a physical blow.Inside, I was fighting my own demons. Every instinct screamed at me to tighten my grip just a little more and end her life once and for all.But Ragnar’s voice carried decades of authority. The instinct to obey the Alpha who had ruled this pack my entire life wrapped itself around my muscles like chains.Reluctantly, my fingers lo
Rhea POVThat sounded like something Kenize would say. And had said.Was I a fool for hoping for a better life? A life away from him, with a man who would actually love me?Love?He’s going through an emotional phase.Vivianne’s words echoed in my head again, like a whispered curse.But maybe that
Rhea POV“Huh… never thought I’d see this face around this wing,” Mrs. Agnes said.She said it when I returned to the west wing halls to grab some cleaning supplies.I could only manage a polite smile, bowing my head before continuing toward the storage closet.“How’s your mother?”Her words made m
Kale POVThe majority of the dinner passed in a boring blur. Questions were asked, but they were mostly surface level, generic ones. She asked most of them, and I gave short, clipped replies.Honestly, she wasn’t bad company. She wasn’t pushy or giggly like I had assumed most high ranking girls wou
Kale POVThe silence between us was heavy, and for a moment the only sounds were the rain pounding against the windshield and the steady hum of the engine.Elizabeth crossed her arms tightly over her chest. Her teeth chattered once before she could stop it.I didn’t want to. I swear I didn’t want t
