{MATURE — The female lead, Elara, is a plus-size lady. This isn't a book about her losing weight or going on a weight-loss journey. This is a book where she embraces her size and loves herself after everything.} 


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 stormed out of that room so fast I barely felt my feet touching the floor. My heart was thumping in my ears, my palms shaking from anger, humiliation, everything swirling together until it made me feel a little sick.


The elevator doors opened just as I reached them, and I stepped inside, breathing hard. Two employees were already there, young girls, probably barely out of school, whispering to each other like they didn't have better things to do. They stopped talking when I entered, but not really. You could feel it when people only paused to rearrange their words.


I hit the button for the ground floor, crossed my arms, and stood still.


Then their whispers started again, just lower, but clear enough.


"Did you see the way Alpha Darlon talked to her? He never talks to anyone like that."


"I swear something is going on. Why else would he defend her every single time?"


"Elara? That girl? Please, she's not even that pretty."
