His Defiant Mate: The Lycan King's Chosen Luna

I was waiting at the Registry Hall to formalize my mate bond with Gabe, my childhood sweetheart and the Alpha of our pack.

He was thirty-two minutes late.

When I finally found him in a private VIP lounge, his hands were buried in my cousin's hair, their lips locked together.

Hailee was supposed to be my maid of honor.

Instead of apologizing, Gabe looked me dead in the eye and used his Alpha authority to publicly reject me.

The severing of our ten-year bond tore my soul apart, but the nightmare didn't stop there.

My grandfather immediately called, demanding I clean up a mess Hailee had made.

When I refused, he disowned me on the spot, froze every single one of my bank accounts, and stripped me of my family name.

Within hours, my entire pack erased my existence, gleefully announcing Hailee as their new Luna.

I had given my entire life to a family and a man who discarded me like worthless trash the second I became inconvenient.

I was left broken, humiliated, and utterly penniless in the blink of an eye.

But as I stumbled out of that sterile hall, a terrifyingly beautiful stranger stepped out of the shadows, radiating a primal power that made my knees weak.

He was Caden Sinclair, the ruthless Lycan King, and he was dodging a forced political union of his own.

"You need a shield. I need a wife. Marry me."

Without hesitation, I signed the Eternal Vow.
