Angelic Houpe

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?

He was destined to kill her… but instead, he chose to ruin the world for her. For Nicholas, the most feared Lycan king to ever rule, there is only one truth, he would burn the world for the woman destined to be his. Empires would fall. Thrones would crumble. Blood would spill without mercy. All for her. But fate is never so simple. Larissa, a human princess, is betrayed by the one meant to protect her and handed over as a bride to a monster she’s been raised to fear. To Nicholas, she is supposed to be nothing more than a pawn… and a prophecy fulfilled. One that demands her death to prevent a war that could destroy both humans and Lycans. He was meant to kill her. Instead, he can’t stay away. Drawn to her fire, her defiance, and the strange pull he cannot explain, Nicholas finds his control slipping, and his heart awakening to something far more dangerous than war. Because Larissa is no ordinary human. She is his mate. And worse… she is something the world was never meant to see, a hybrid wolf with a past buried in blood and secrets, one that ties her fate to Nicholas long before this moment. Now, with prophecy looming and enemies closing in, Nicholas must make an impossible choice: Fulfill the legend… or defy fate and risk destroying everything for love.

“I, Julius Armstrong, reject Doris Charles as my mate.” The laughter came right after. This was the second time my mate rejected me because I cannot talk. In the pack, they call me dumb not because I am stupid, but because I am mute. When I turned eighteen, my first mate rejected me for that reason. Today, it was the Gamma. He is twenty-one, the same age as the Alpha and Beta. This was his third rejection. The first girl was too fat, the second was too short and now, I was dumb. I never wanted to attend the mating ceremony. I knew how it would end, but my stepmother forced me to go, and my stepsisters came just to watch me get mocked again. The next day, wolves who had found their mates returned to officially claim them before the Alpha and pack leaders. I went only because I was forced, just to stand there and watch my stepsister get chosen. Then something happened that no one expected. The Alpha claimed me as his mate in front of everyone. Was I shocked? Yes. Did I believe him? No. Did I think it was a cruel joke? Absolutely. Because no Alpha would choose a rejected, mute girl like me.
