Sage Draven’s life goes up in flames at her own engagement party—her boyfriend dumps her in front of the entire wolf pack, sneering that she’s “she’s as bland as white rice.” Then her best friend drops the real bomb: she’s been sleeping with him for six months. They’re “true mates.” Blessed by the Moon Goddess. And Sage? Just the pathetic human stepping stone. Humiliated and shattered, she drowns her sorrows in a high-end bar—and falls into bed with a devastatingly handsome stranger. One night of insane chemistry later, she learns his real name: Kael Thorne. Her ex’s boss. The most feared Alpha CEO in the city. And now… the father of her baby. Desperate and hiding her pregnancy, Sage accepts a bizarre job offer from Kael as his executive assistant. Working side by side, the heat between them is impossible to ignore. When Kael discovers the truth, he makes her a shocking proposal: become his fake mate to silence his family’s matchmaking, and he’ll provide for her and the child. It’s just business. Until it isn’t. But Sage carries an even more dangerous secret. She’s not a nobody. She’s the lost heiress to the Moonhaven Luna bloodline—worth billions, hunted by enemies, and tied to a prophecy she never wanted. When her true identity explodes into the open, everyone who rejected her comes crawling back. Her ex. Her former best friend. Rival packs. And the killers who murdered her parents. Now Sage must decide: Is the ruthless Alpha worth the fight? Can this fake bond become something real? And will she rise as the Luna Queen she was born to be—or be destroyed by the wolves at her door?

But rejection has a price. Because I’m not just human. I carry something older than the pack itself. And when the Moon calls my blood, the weak girl he despised… will rise into something no Alpha can reject. This time, he won’t be the one choosing.

“You shouldn’t be here, you're the Alpha King and Liam's uncle.” I managed to say, trying to resist his touch. He chuckled deeply, “You forgot one more thing” he said simply, brushing his thumb over my lower lips. “What is that?” I whispered almost inaudibly. “I'm also your mate.” He murmured, leaning towards me. “What do you want from me?” I asked, feeling so confused. “Isn't it obvious?” He asked with a smirk, “I want you.” . .

Mate! He heard his wolf growl. Lancelot's eyes dropped to the place she shook his palm. 'You have got to be kidding me.' She had lost everything in just one day her job she tried so hard to find, her fiance she dated half of her life, and what remained of a relationship with her twin sister.

“I want to get a divorce, Mark,” I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time—even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
