Ore
Lyra Vale was raised among wolves, but at eighteen, when every other pup burst into fur beneath the full moon, she stood frozen and unchanged. Worse, the boy she had loved for three years chose her sister as his fated mate right in front of the whole pack.
Desperate to hide her shame, Lyra invents a mysterious mate who simply hasn't claimed her yet. It's a lie that buys her time until people start demanding to meet him.
Then Kaelen Draven, heir to the vampire throne and the coldest person in the academy, agrees to play her partner. What begins as a public performance, with shared lunches and staged affection, becomes harder to dismiss as an act. Kaelen feels strangely familiar to her, and the dreams that have haunted her since childhood, of a boy trapped in a dark pit, start to feel less like dreams and more like memories.
As whispers grow and her sister's jealousy sharpens, Lyra is forced to confront a truth she has spent her life avoiding. In a world where status, species, and power decide who belongs, can a girl who was never supposed to be a wolf trust a vampire prince with her heart, and with her secrets?
