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 didn't know what to say to that. Maybe because he wasn't wrong. Back then, I was tangled in fear and the feeling that I didn't deserve happiness, not the way others did. Not the way he offered it.


Darlon's hand brushed mine, almost cautiously. "I think we deserve to try again. Properly this time. No tiptoeing. No distance. Just us… actually enjoying what we should have had."


I sighed and lowered my eyes. "It was not that I did not want to be free with you," I said softly. "I just did not know how to trust happiness. Every time I tried to relax, something told me it would be taken away, so I stayed tense and careful, like I was protecting myself."


Darlon watched me with a calm expression that made it hard to look away. "Then let me give it back to you," he said. "Piece by piece, until you are not afraid of losing it again."
