BILLIONAIRE/WEREWOLF 

I was born a maid in the pack,  unwanted, unloved, and unseen. They said I was the daughter of a servant and that I should be grateful to even breathe the same air as elites. But what no one knew was that I wasn’t who they thought I was. I was stolen from my destiny, stripped of my name, and buried in a life that was never mine.

When I finished school, I was given a job at Blueberries Pack Company. It was already falling apart, but I worked day and night to keep it alive. Still, nothing I did mattered. The Alpha’s precious daughter stole my ideas, my recognition, and even the man I thought I loved. I was used to silence, to being unseen,  until he appeared.

Darlon. The Alpha King. A name spoken with fear and awe. They said he was old, heartless, and cruel. I didn’t know him, and I never imagined our paths would cross. But when the Alpha and his Luna grew desperate to save their company, they forced me to marry him in their daughter’s place. 

I walked down that aisle expecting the worst…But what awaited me on the other side was nothing I could have ever imagined.

I didn’t know it then, but the man I had married wasn’t a stranger at all… He was my fated mate

And through him, I began to uncover the truth about my past, my bloodline, and the power that had been sleeping inside me all along.

The night was quiet after all the laughter and games. Darlon and I finally left the arcade and returned to the hotel, our feet sore but our hearts full. He held my hand all the way back, and I couldn't stop staring at him. Somehow, the way the hotel looked, the way the lights hit his face, made my chest tighten in the best way.


"You're staring again," he said softly, nudging me.


"I'm not," I lied, though I didn't bother pulling my gaze away.


"Uh-huh," he teased, wrapping his arm around me. "Go on. Admit it."


I rolled my eyes but laughed. "Fine. I'm staring. Happy?"


"Very." He smiled and kissed my temple. "Come on, let's eat something light and then we can rest."


We ordered in-room dinner and sat on the balcony, watching the moon reflect over the water. It was peaceful. The kind of peace that made you feel safe. I leaned my head against his shoulder and let myself relax completely.


"You've been quiet," he said, brushing a strand of hair from my face.
