Ugly Flowers

“Why do you look at me like that?” Olivia whispered, her hands shaking. “Like I am something ugly you regret touching.” Kingsley’s eyes darkened. “Because I never wanted you.” Her heart cracked. “Then why didn’t you let me go?” He clenched his jaw. “Because fate is cruel… and now you belong to me.” Tears filled her eyes. “I don’t want to belong to someone who hates me.” His voice dropped, rough and low. “Be careful, little Luna. Hate is not what I feel.” ............ Olivia has never been loved. Her family hates her. Her pack mocks her. She believes she is nothing. At the mating ceremony, fate plays a cruel game. Her mate is Alpha Kingsley — the cold, powerful, and feared Alpha King. But instead of loving her, he rejects her in front of everyone… then accepts her only because he needs her for power. To him, Olivia is just a tool. To his pack, she is an embarrassment. But Olivia is not weak. She carries hidden moon magic. She has a rare wolf. And she holds a power that can change the world. As they spend time together Kingsley begins to see the truth. The girl he once looked down on is strong, kind, and rare. Slowly, painfully, he falls in love with her. But it might already be too late. Because Olivia is no longer the unwanted girl. She is now the most desired woman in the werewolf world. Alphas fight for her. Kings bow to her. And the Alpha King who once rejected her may have to lose her forever.
