Mark 12 30-31

“Are you enjoying it? This was supposed to be punishment, Evelyn,” the Alpha King sneered coldly as he thrusted into me. “It seemed my brother never satisfied you. Maybe he’s impotent. He didn't even mark you before he died, did he?” I clamped a hand over my mouth, biting down on my lower lip to stifle the shameful sounds threatening to escape. But when I stayed silent, his movement grew harsher. He pinned my arms, yanked my hair, and bit hard into my shoulder. “I told you not to suppress your sounds,” he growled. I cried out. *** Evelyn’s world shattered the day her husband—the crown prince—was killed. Stripped of her title and pride, she was forced to serve the new Alpha King: her late husband’s half-brother and the usurper of the throne. By day, she was his maid. By night, his obedient pet. Their bond was meant to be filled with bitterness, pain, and resentment. But fate had other plans. The Moon Goddess bound them with something neither of them could escape… nor deny.

“Tell me,” I demanded, my voice a rough whisper. “Tell me how much you like being used like my slut! How you intentionally defy me so that I can fuck you like this.” Desperate to survive after being banished and left to die following an event orchestrated by a frenemy, Head Witch Hera Volkov teamed up with Alpha Atticus, her mortal enemy who blames her for the death of his pregnant mate. Atticus has to find and mark his second chance mate before the age of 30 so he can be crowned Alpha King and he has to be crowned Alpha King so he can become powerful enough to avenge his death's murder. He accepts Hera's proposal to fake a mate bond between them so she gets to stay alive and her gets to become King with the sole intention of keeping Hera close to himself and making her life a living hell. But things get more heated as sparks fly over punishments, actual mate bond comes into play, and enemies in plain sight that'd do anything to ensure that Atticus doesn't become King.

I woke up back in my 27-year-old body. I had twin cubs, and my mate was Ethan, the most powerful Alpha in the Northwest. He was always at the top of the Wolf Council's rankings. Alpha Weekly even named him "Number One Ideal Mate on the Continent." Even the Royal Pack wanted to marry their princess to him. Everyone in the pack said I was lucky. But the first thing I did? I took the sacred contract for dissolving our mate bond and delivered it to his old flame myself. I pushed the contract in front of Isabella and said calmly, "I'm going to ask the Moon Goddess to break our bond. Ethan's yours. The cubs, too." Isabella stared at me, shocked. She couldn't believe the person who'd been Luna for six years would just give it all up. I just added quietly, "Since they all like your scent better, I'll get out of your way. Just get Ethan to put his Alpha mark on the contract. Once the bond-breaking ceremony is over, I'll leave this territory." This time, I wasn't going to make the same mistakes. I wouldn't be the Luna everyone ignored anymore.
