My best friend passed away from postpartum hemorrhage. Ethan said he didn't want his child to grow up without a mother. To repay my best friend for saving my life years ago, I became the child's mother. I gave up my career and ambitions, willingly becoming a full-time housewife. For seven years, I cared for both father and son as if it were my life's mission. Yet, he always remained distant, his tenderness surfacing only in the quiet intensity of late nights. Afterward, he would hand me a few birth control pills. On New Year's Eve, my throat felt strange. I swallowed the pills, only to immediately vomit them all out. Ethan was furious and accused me of harboring ulterior motives. As punishment, he locked me outside on the open balcony in the rain. Our son came running with an umbrella in hand. But he walked past me without a glance and handed it to the housekeeper who was heading out. In that moment, I made up my mind—I would leave.

Kieran Vale, the feared Alpha King, has never bowed to anyone—and never will. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, he rules the shadows with blood and power. Eli is nothing like him. Stubborn, sharp-tongued, and completely human, Eli lives a quiet life—until one reckless night changes everything. When he stumbles upon a dying stranger in the forest, he makes the mistake of saving him. That stranger is Kieran. And before Eli can escape, Kieran marks him. Now bound by a bond neither of them wanted, Eli is dragged into a hidden world of Alphas, enemies, and deadly secrets. Hunted by those who want the Alpha King dead, Eli becomes both a target… and Kieran’s greatest weakness. But Eli refuses to submit—and Kieran has never been denied. Between danger, obsession, and a bond that burns deeper each day, one question remains: Will they destroy each other… or fall into something neither of them can control?

Living as a human in werewolf territory means surviving by staying invisible. She has no wolf, no pack, and no protection—only a fragile agreement that keeps her alive on the outskirts of Alpha rule. That fragile peace shatters the night she is taken during a territorial conflict and forcibly marked by the most feared Alpha in the region. The mark binds her against her will, flooding her body with a bond she never asked for and tethering her to a man who sees the connection as a necessary claim, not a choice. To the pack, she becomes Alpha property overnight—watched, judged, and expected to submit. To him, she is a complication he cannot undo without risking his authority and the stability of his territory. She refuses to bend. As the bond tightens, her resistance brings consequences. Pain follows defiance. Distance becomes impossible. Every attempt to escape only strengthens the invisible chain between them. While the Alpha enforces control publicly, cracks begin to form in his certainty as her defiance challenges everything he believes about power, dominance, and loyalty. Enemies circle, drawn by rumors of a human mate and a bond formed under blood and coercion. Pack politics turn dangerous, and her existence becomes leverage in a larger war she never chose to be part of. Bound by force, surrounded by wolves who expect her obedience, she must decide whether survival means submission—or whether breaking the Alpha who claimed her is the only way to reclaim herself.

"Make sure you wipe the counter," I remind him while wearing my panties. "With my tongue?" "Sure, if you wipe again with disinfectant after that."

At the Werewolf Hunting Contest, Lily Ashford secretly set me up and took the champion spot. That very night, a marking proposal arrived from the Alpha of Norfolk Pack, Leon Griffin. Leon would take the champion of this hunting contest as his Luna. My Alpha fiance, Edmund Brock, panicked on the spot. He immediately bit the back of Lily's neck and completed the marking. Lily swayed her hips and deliberately showed me the fresh bite mark. "Florence, I'm the champion. And now, your fiance is mine too." I smiled and turned to face the Alpha of Norfolk Pack. "If she won't marry you, I will." Later, the Alpha of Norfolk Pack, the werewolf rumored to be unable to mark anyone, bit down hard on my neck in front of everyone. He licked the blood from his lips and smirked in a celebratory manner. "Who said I can't mark anyone?" Meanwhile, my former fiance kneeled in the pouring rain and pleaded with me like a madman. "Florence, I've asked the Alpha King to dissolve the mate bond between Lily and me. I finally realized you're the one I've always loved."
