All Nathalie Bricksyon wanted was to survive at Reinfield Academy; a school for the nation’s richest teens. As a poor scholarship student with a sick father and rising bills, she tried to stay invisible. Until she made one mistake… she shattered the car window of the school’s richest and most feared bad boy, Austin Kane. And he did the unthinkable. He bought her house and made her homeless. Then, in front of the whole school, he poured juice on her head, turning her into a target for bullies. But Nathalie didn’t back down, she uncovered a secret about Austin so damaging, she used it to threaten him. From that day, he was her slave, and their war began. Austin may act proud and untouchable, but deep down he’s just a broken boy with a cold father who only praises his perfect brother. Nathalie may look strong, but she’s a girl who works late into the night and eats scraps just to care for her dying dad. They were enemies but slowly became each other’s weakness as they began to fall for each other. But someone in the shadows wants to destroy them both. Enemies by fate. Lovers by accident.

"All my life, I've been the backup daughter. My sister Beatrice got everything—love, attention, the golden child treatment.I got leftovers and reminders I wasn't good enough. Until I discovered Niall,gorgeous Alpha from the neighboring pack,was my fated mate. Finally, my turn to be chosen. God, I was naive. Four years of engagement hell.Bleaching my hair to suit his tastes. Squeezing into tight dresses, playing his personal maid—only to hear I'd make a better servant than mate. All because his heart belonged to my sister. That night,I accidentally knocked over their picture frame. He slapped me. Hard. Said I'd never measure up to her. So I slapped him back, tore up their photo, and accepted rejection. I thought it was over. Until I caught them at the club, laughing about how pathetic my four years of trying had been. The whole engagement was their sick game. Drunk and furious, I did something reckless with my mysterious neighbor. Alpha Hudson —face carved by gods, danger in every perfectly tailored line. Most importantly, he's my ex's nemesis. So? Best s*x of my life. I thought it was a one-night stand to forget. Wrong Again. He's richer than Niall, more powerful than my family, and infinitely more dangerous. And he's not letting me go. This time, I won't be anybody's second choice."

"You fought like a trained warrior. What's your name?" "Didn't you hear?" I shrugged. "Just some rogue b*tch." His jaw tensed. "Rogues don't defend packs. They destroy them to gain power and control." "Oh?" I arched a brow. "So, why are you here?" "I came to protect," he said firmly. "We've brought medical care, food. Your pack will be registered and cared for. If a suitable Alpha isn't found-" "You'll handpick a new one who is obedient to you?" I cut in. "I don't want obedience," he said. "I want stability. Safety." "For wolves like us?" I laughed coldly. "We've never had rights. Don't talk to me about your precious act." He took a slow step toward me. "What's your name?" I snarled back. "Not interested in bonding, Your Majesty." "I'm not here to dominate you." "No?" I challenged. "Then why call yourself King? Kings demand obedience, do they not." His voice dropped. "True Kings only want loyalty and respect." I stared him down. "Those are earned, not demanded." A gust of wind blew past me, carrying my scent straight to him. His nostrils flared. His pupils dilated. His wolf surged to the surface, glowing with his golden gaze. He staggered back half a step. "Mate." I froze. No. Hell no. He took a step forward. "You...you're..." "Not. A. Chance," I growled, turning and sprinting for the trees. *** After escaping the brutalities of her pack, the rogue she-wolf is only interested in protecting those she cares for. While protecting the innocents during a royal raid, she runs into a wolf claiming to be the Alpha King and worse yet, he claims she is his Mate. She barely escaped that life alive and has been living as a human since she was a teenager and no one was going to make her go back. Little did she know how much both worlds need her to bring peace and true freedom.

"For years, I belonged to him. Not his mate. Not his love. But his bedmate. His Gamma. His shadow in the night. Alpha Calhoun made sure no man dared touch me, no wolf dared look at me. I was his possession, his secret, his sin wrapped in skin. And I endured it all—his rough hands, his dark devotion, his kisses that tasted like fire and chains because at least, for a while, he was mine. Until she returned. His destined mate. His so-called true love. And suddenly, I was nothing. Cast aside, silenced, left to wither in the shadows of a love that had never been mine to claim. But the thing about being claimed by a man like Calhoun… is that he never truly lets you go. ""Try to leave me, Elodie,"" his voice had been a snarl against my throat, his grip bruising my waist. ""I'll burn down every border, tear apart every wolf that stands in my way, until you crawl back to me. You're mine, even if the Moon Goddess herself wants to rip you away."" He didn't know then that I already had one foot out the door. And when I finally left his pack… I took more than just my broken heart with me."
