The Scarred Mate He Never Loved
"I will make you wish for death," Marvin spat wickedly, his eyes blazing into mine. "But death... will be too far away."
I sniffed and blinked a couple of times. “I, Rita Maxwell, would only wish for one thing.”
Marvin’s head snapped toward me. Indifference coated his expression, sharp and cutting.
Yet beneath the deep-rooted hatred was a flicker of something uncertain that didn’t last long.
But I continued, “…I, Rita Maxwell, reject…”
“Enough!”
Alpha Philips’ voice broke through the air, both stiffening and unbearable.
“You clearly wish for death, don’t you?” he blurted through gritted teeth.

Rita Maxwell was hated by all, including her mum and her twin sister, Becky, due to the birth scar on her face, the same scar that was termed a curse and had condemned her.
What could be more cruel than having fate take a twist into one’s worst nightmare?
Rita’s kindness was mistaken for treason and attempted murder, and she was reduced from a despised daughter to a rejected and hated maid in the packhouse.
But on her eighteenth birthday, the tables turned so cruelly that she wished they never had. All she ever asked for was love, a perfect life with a mate who cherished her, not the other way around.
Fated to the very man who was betrothed to her twin sister, wasn't what she ever wanted.
As the hands of time ticked and broken hearts bled, what becomes of the bond that was termed a curse, a taboo… manipulated?
What becomes of Rita, the cursed and hated pack omega in this journey of survival?
And Marvin, would he ever see her any differently, especially with the demise of Becky and the impending chaos?
What if there are better options for Rita?
