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.

I watched Darlon leave the room, his steps silent but firm. I tried to remember what had happened last night, my head still fuzzy from the wine. Did I say something stupid? Did I spill anything? Did I make a fool of myself? I pressed my hands to my face and shook my head. "Please… please, I didn't do anything wrong," I whispered to myself, more like a prayer than anything else.


The quiet was broken by a soft knock on the door. I blinked, startled, and whispered, "Who is it?"


"It's me, Your Majesty," came Lydia's calm, professional voice from the other side.


I hurriedly tried to sit up straighter, smoothing my hair with shaking hands. "Come in," I managed to say.
