Rejected. Sold. Marked by a cursed Lycan. Camilla thought she’d lost everything, until the Lycan's mark didn’t kill her. Now caught between a deadly past and a dangerous bond, she must choose who to trust before her mate bond seals the wrong fate.

Aria Hale spent her entire life believing the Moon Goddess created someone just for her. Someone who would see her. Choose her. Love her. She didn’t expect her fated mate to be Alpha Blake Thorn—the golden boy of the pack… or that he would reject her in front of everyone on her eighteenth birthday. Humiliated, heartbroken, and stripped of her place in the pack, Aria runs into the Forbidden Woods, praying for the pain to stop. But instead of death, she finds something far more dangerous: The Dark King. Erevan is ancient, feared, and impossibly powerful. To the world he is a myth. To Aria, he is the first person who looks at her like she is worth the world. And when she collapses in his arms, he does the unthinkable— He claims her as his mate. In the Dark Realm, Aria begins to unlock abilities she never knew she had. Abilities that were never meant to exist in the mortal world. Abilities that could destroy everything she once called home. When she returns to her old pack, Alpha Blake realizes the awful truth: Rejecting her was the biggest mistake of his life. But it’s too late. Aria is no longer the girl who begged for love. She is the mate of a king. Chosen. Claimed. Unstoppable. And she will never kneel again. A rejected-mate romance filled with betrayal, power, jealousy, possessive love, and a heroine who rises from broken to legendary.

After I've completed 98 tasks for my fiancee, Cheryl Landeau, she finally agrees to marry me once I've completed the 99th task for her. For that task, I'm required to pick her up outside her company. On the day I stand outside Cheryl's company with a huge flower bouquet in my arms, I don't see her at all despite having waited till late night. Soon after, I get hospitalized due to a high fever. When I tap on my phone, the first thing I see is a photo of the marriage certificate belonging to Cheryl and her assistant, Jason York. Jason even includes a caption with the photo. "My mom is very satisfied with her daughter-in-law. Please take good care of me from now on, my dear wife." The next day, I hang a banner outside the company. "May Ms. Landeau and Mr. York grow old in harmony and be blessed with children." All of my colleagues are stunned, to say the least. At that moment, Cheryl quickly pulls me into her office. She then explains, "Jason's mom is severely ill. Her death wish is watch him get married. What's wrong with me fulfilling her wish? Can't you show more kindness toward Jason? "Now, stop throwing that tantrum of yours and get rid of the banner. Once Jason's mom passes away, I'll file for a divorce from him." I just smile as I set off more fireworks at the doorway. "Oh, you don't have to bother with a divorce. I'm worried that his mom might come back to life soon. Let's just end things here."

Wives are to be claimed, whores are for fucking. But me? I’m to be PLEASURED. ~~~ Chelsea Stone signed the contract expecting a cold and dead marriage. Instead she found herself collared by Dominic Hartwell – a man whose rules were written in silk restraints, leather belts, and the low growl of full command. He bound her wrists above her head and taught her that silence was no longer armor; it was foreplay. He spread her wide open on silk sheets and edged her for hours with fingers, tongue, and the thick head of his veiny cock until she was dripping, shaking, and sobbing “Please, big daddy… I’ll be good.” Only then did he drive into her deep and relentless, one hand tight around her throat, the other spanking her ass while he fucked her into shattering, screaming release. Chelsea was never meant to stay broken though, because in the darkness between punishments and praise, she began to crave more than surrender. She wanted to test him, to push and whisper filthy things against his ear while she rode his thigh, soaked and trembling: “I want to be your little cunt who shows big daddy who’s really boss.” Dominic’s eyes darkened with dangerous promise every time she dared. The more he punished her with a be*t across her, cock down her throat until tears ran down her cheeks, hands pinning her down while he claimed every inch of her. The more she burned to flip their power while he owned her body. Yet as old enemies sharpened their knives and forbidden pasts, pain and pleasure blurred until Chelsea no longer knew where submission ended and rebellion began. Would she kneel forever… OR would the quiet wife finally make her ruthless husband beg?

Rejected. Humiliated. Broken. On the night she was meant to find love, Aria lost everything. Publicly rejected by her fated mate and cast aside like she was nothing, she fled into the darkness—wounded, alone, and hunted by the shame she couldn’t escape. But the forest didn’t offer safety. It offered him. A man more dangerous than any rejection. A King feared by every pack. A predator who doesn’t ask, doesn’t hesitate… and doesn’t take no for an answer. He didn’t save her. He claimed her. Bound by a force she doesn’t understand, Aria finds herself trapped under the rule of a ruthless Alpha King whose presence ignites both fear and something far more dangerous. He is cold, dominant, and impossibly powerful—and he’s decided she belongs to him. Now, there are rules. Rules she must follow. Rules she must survive. Rules that blur the line between control and desire. But Aria is not as weak as they believe. Beneath her pain lies something rare. Something powerful. Something that could either destroy her… or make her unstoppable. As her past refuses to let her go and her rejected mate begins to regret the biggest mistake of his life, Aria is caught between two worlds—one that broke her… and one that threatens to consume her completely. And the deeper she falls into the King’s dark world, the more dangerous the truth becomes: She is no longer just a rejected wolf. She is something far more powerful. Something worth fighting for. Something worth destroying kingdoms for. And when her true strength awakens… She won’t just survive. She’ll make them all kneel.
