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 settled back against Darlon, listening to his slow, steady breathing behind me. His thumb rubbed the side of my arm without him even noticing. Little absent touches that made my heart flutter more than I cared to admit.


"Just make sure you use protection," I repeated in a mock whisper.


And somehow, that made the moment perfect.


We ended up trying another game after all. I don't even know who suggested it first. Maybe Janae. Maybe me. Maybe we were both just high on laughter. But somehow we found ourselves standing in front of one of those VR stations where you put on a headset and swing at glowing targets in the air.


"I look stupid, don't I?" I asked, adjusting the headset.


I smacked his arm. "You didn't even pause."


"Because it's true," he replied, smiling.


David snorted. "I'm sorry to say this, your majesty, you look like a confused duck."
