Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Lycan king
Emma had always been nothing. An omega. A maid. A shadow in her own pack. But when she turned eighteen, the Moon Goddess gave her hope, her mate was Aiden Blackwood, the future Alpha.
For the first time, she believed she was wanted.
But Aiden shattered her.
He rejected her. He used her. And then, in front of the entire pack, he claimed another as his mate and Luna.
Broken and betrayed, Emma ran. She didn't care where she ended up, until she crossed into forbidden land and was thrown into a cage, waiting to die.
Only for him to appear.
Kieran Valerian. The Lycan King. A ruler with blood on his hands.
And when his eyes locked onto hers, the entire world seemed to stop.
"Mate."
But Emma refuses to be weak ever again. She will never beg for love.
Not even when the most powerful Lycan alive looks at her like she belongs to him.
Because she learned the hard way that mates can destroy you. And this time, she won't go down without a fight.
