“She is our mate. We’d like to see who dares to touch her!” The words seemed to ring in the air, fierce and absolute, as if marking me with a shield stronger than any I could ever forge. In that moment, I could feel their possessiveness, their fierce loyalty weaving into a protective wall around me. My heart hammered wildly, torn between the thrill of safety and the overwhelming realization of what lay between us. That, and fear. — Fiona never asked to be different. Born an omega, she was left orphaned, only to be adopted by the Luna of a powerful pack. What should have been a blessing quickly turned into a nightmare. For years, she was tormented by four alphas—Jin, Lyn, Soren, and Kai—each stronger, fiercer, and more unrelenting than the last. Their presence became a dark shadow over her life, teaching her to live with her head bowed low and her spirit all but shattered. But when a scandal erupts, threatening the four alphas' status, they’re forced into exile, leaving Fiona in peace for the first time in years. The scandal dies down and Fiona begins to rebuild her life, free of their oppressive influence. Until one day, a revelation shakes her to the core—a destiny she never wanted, one that intertwines her with the very men she despises: she is their mate. Now, Fiona must confront the past she had tried so hard to bury and navigate an uncertain future with the four alphas who once made her life unbearable. Caught between hate, fear, and an undeniable bond, Fiona faces an impossible choice: accept the twisted fate that binds her to the alphas or risk tearing apart the fragile peace she’s finally found.

"Stay away from me you monster!” I screamed at the top of my lungs while I sat there breathless and sweaty. My dress was ripped in half and my hair stood in my face. My eyes were furiously staring at him while I tried releasing my tied hands. ******* “Who the f**k are you, Levi? You can't just barge into my life and expect me to answer your every question.” I retorted, my blood already heating up. “Savannah, how could you keep our child a secret from me? Is this your way of punishing me for what happened between us?” His voice reverberated with an intense wave of anger. “Levi, I never wanted to keep her from you. You never gave me the chance to talk. You cut me off from everyone and everything. I was scared…scared of how you would react, scared of the consequences for both her and me,” I replied with tears streaming down my face. Levi interrupted me before I could finish what I was saying. It would have been helpful if he had taken the time to listen before interrupting. “Scared? Do you think that's an excuse? You denied me the right to be a father and be a part of her life. I won't stand for that” I tried explaining further, “Levi, I never denied you anything. You never gave me the opportunity, and I didn't know how to approach this situation. I wanted to protect her, to shield her from any pain or harm.” “Protect her? By keeping her away from her father? How could you be so selfish?

As the illegitimate daughter of a noble Alpha, she was denied recognition and raised as a servant in her own home.

Broken and rejected, Reina decided to flee the pack. However, that was when fate intervened. A mysterious and powerful man appeared at her doorstep, Damon Kingsley, an Alpha feared across territories, known for his golden eyes and unmatched strength. Nearly ten years older, Damon claimed Reina as his destined mate. Forced by her family’s threats, she agreed to marry him, entering the union with no hope of love. What she didn’t know was that Damon was Zayne’s uncle. For twelve years, Damon had searched relentlessly for his mate, defying destiny itself. With the help of a powerful witch, he finally found Reina, hidden in his nephew’s pack. From the moment he saw her, he knew she was the one he had waited for.

One of Ethan Sterling's closest friends got drunk and humiliated me. Called me a nobody orphan who married above her station, said I'd never be accepted by the Sterlings, that I wasn't fit to sit at their table. Ethan smashed a bottle over the man's head. He announced in front of everyone that if anyone ever disrespected me again, he'd make them pay. When I was pregnant and the morning sickness was so brutal I couldn't keep anything down, he went and scheduled a vasectomy. He didn't want me to suffer through another pregnancy. This was a man who loved me like I was his whole world. And yet — when I was lying on the operating table about to give birth, he was standing right in front of me with his arms around Iris, putting on a show for anyone watching. Iris was the daughter of another old-money family and she'd donated bone marrow to save Ethan's mother's life. The night before her own engagement, her fiance betrayed her, and the trauma wiped her memory clean. Now the only thing she knew for certain was that Ethan Sterling was her husband. In her world, I was the homewrecker — the scheming woman using the bastard in her belly to force her husband into a divorce. Ethan promised me it was all an act. Just repaying the debt for his mother's life. Once Iris recovered, he'd walk away from her immediately. But when I picked up the surgical consent form for him to sign, and his first instinct was to pull Iris behind him — to shield her — I knew. His heart had already drifted off course. The fairy tale of a Cinderella marrying into high society was over. Time to wake up.
