My in-laws, who have flown back to the country for the Christmas holidays, visit my home on Christmas Eve for dinner. But Selena Collins, the housekeeper, has only prepared two plates of cold shrimp ravioli despite the fact that I've specifically reminded her about my mother-in-law, Lora Fischer's allergy to shrimps. Selena just tells me in a stoic manner, "Mrs. Peterson, I know that you country bumpkins love taking advantage of everything. So, I completely understand that your parents want to mooch off a meal from the Peterson family during the holidays. "But as Mr. Peterson's most caring housekeeper, I have the right to protect the Petersons' assets from getting leeched by outsiders. Yes, this includes a regular meal. "Then again, I have a heart of gold, you see. I won't starve the elders at all. These are leftover shrimp ravioli from last year. Your parents should hurry up and leave after polishing the ravioli off. "Mr. Peterson is very busy with his work. I can't let him deal with your impoverished parents after getting home from a stressful day at work." I'm stunned at first, but I soon realize that Selena has mistaken my in-laws for my parents. She's purposefully causing me trouble as always. I'm about to explain the truth to Selena when I see my enraged in-laws turning to leave. But Selena wastes no time in calling the bodyguards over to stop them. "I completely understand that country bumpkins like you two have poor character, but wasting food is a really bad trait. "Since the shrimp ravioli is already prepared for you, please finish them all before leaving."

My sister pulled a knife during a robbery attempt, and we got into a brutal fight. My mom, an auxiliary police officer, arrived at the scene but totally ignored my injury. As I lay in a pool of blood, begging for help, she just cradled my sister and yelled at me, "You're so desperate for attention that you'd hurt your sister? How did I raise a heartless monster like you?" She branded me as the aggressor, ignored my pleas, and rushed my sister, who had mere scratches, to the hospital. I was left alone to die miserably in that deserted alley. When the news of my death arrived, my mother dismissed it as another one of my lies, pointing at my body and demanding I get up to apologize to my sister.

At 11:00 pm, I've just locked my car and am about to walk away when rows of bright red comments appear right in front of my eyes. "Warning! Your husband, whom you're still in a 30-day cooling-off period with, wants to kidnap you! He'll take nudes of you while livestreaming the entire process before mutilating you into chunks and flushing you down the sewers!" "Well, this gold digger keeps swindling money from her husband while toying with his feelings relentlessly. Now, she even wants a portion of his assets by getting a divorce from him. Serves her right for being a target of revenge!" I'm left feeling shell-shocked. After all, I'm single as a Pringle. How the heck did I even have a husband, to begin with?

"I am your Alpha," Liard growled, his body pressing dangerously close to hers. "You will not run from me." Helena’s breath hitched, her fingers trembling as they gripped the edge of the infirmary table. "You made a vow," she whispered, voice laced with fury and longing. "No mates. No love. Or have you already forgotten?" His jaw clenched, but his hands found her waist, heat radiating between them. "I tried to forget. I tried to fight it. But every time I close my eyes, I see you. I feel you." His voice dropped lower, a rough, desperate plea. "Damn it, Helena. You were never supposed to be mine." Helena shoved against his chest, her own emotions warring within her. "And I was never supposed to love you, Liard. But fate is cruel." She turned away, biting down the pain in her voice. "Do you know what they’ll do to me if they find out? Do you know what Rhider will do?" Liard’s grip on her tightened. "I don’t care." His breath ghosted against her ear, sending a shiver down her spine. "Let them try to take you from me. I will burn this world before I ever let you go." ********* For years, Alpha Liard Stormbane has ruled with a heart of ice, swearing never to take a mate, never to fall into the same weakness that destroyed his father. But when he is gravely injured and taken to the pack infirmary, fate shatters his control—his mate is none other than Helena, the pack’s healer…and his Beta’s mother.

On the night of her eighteenth birthday, Zara Ashlen expected to be chosen. Instead, Damon Wells the Alpha she was fated to love rejected her in front of the entire pack. No reason. No apology. Just cold, certain words that tore the bond from her chest and left her with nothing. So she ran. Five years later, Zara has built a quiet life far from pack territory. A job. An apartment. A daughter she would burn the world down to protect. She doesn't think about the bond anymore. She doesn't think about Damon. She almost believes she's free. Then the summons arrives a mandatory pack summit she cannot refuse and Zara is dragged back into the world she escaped. But something is different this time. Something ancient and unstoppable stirs the moment she walks into that room. And it has nothing to do with Damon. Kael Drevon is the Lycan King. Ruthless. Untouchable. A man who has never once failed to take what he wants. He has spent years waiting for a mate the bond refused to show him. Until now. Until her. Zara has no intention of belonging to another Alpha not after what the last one cost her. But Kael didn't build a kingdom by accepting no. And the closer he gets, the more she realizes her daughter's rare blood has made them both a target. Running once saved her life. This time, her only chance at survival might be the King she's desperately trying to resist.

Born into a powerful pack but cursed with a fatal flaw, Elara never shifted. In a world where rank is decided at twelve and futures are carved by strength, she became something worse than low-born—she became nothing. Ignored by her high-ranking family, denied education, and treated as less than a servant, Elara survives in the shadows of a system that was never meant for her. When the Moon Goddess finally chooses her as the fated mate of the future Alpha Prince, it should have changed everything. Instead, it destroys her. The prince rejects the bond without hesitation, casting her aside for her perfect, powerful sister. But breaking a divine match comes with consequences, and Elara is the one forced to pay the price. Humiliated, discarded, and marked by sacred imbalance, she is sent into the hands of the prince’s uncle—Alpha Darius, the most feared wolf of their kind. Ruthless. Unforgiving. A brute whispered about in fear. Everyone expects him to break her. But Darius doesn’t destroy her. He shelters her. As Elara is pulled deeper into a world of power, politics, and dangerous desire, the girl no one wanted begins to change. And when the prince who rejected her comes crawling back, he finds something no one expected: The weakest omega in the pack is no longer waiting to be chosen. She stands under the protection of the most dangerous Alpha alive. And this time, she will not be cast aside.
