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?

"Say it like you mean it, darling," he purred, leaning in and licking my neck, "and I might stop." My mother got remarried... and cursed me in the process. I thought moving into this mansion would be the worst part of it. I was wrong. Because living here means living under the same roof with them. The Varkas brothers. Beautiful. Dangerous. Possessive. And absolutely, devastatingly off-limits. They call me "stepsister. " But the way they look at me? The way they touch me? It's anything but brotherly. There's something wrong with them. Something not... human. I can feel it in the way their eyes flash when they're angry. In the way their bodies burn hotter than they should. In the way they move, like predators in the dark. I don't know what they are. But I know one thing... whatever's hunting me now, I won't survive it. Not if I keep letting them close. Not if I keep letting them ruin me with their hands, their mouths, their filthy words. I should run. I should fight. But the truth is... part of me doesn't want to escape. Because whatever they are... I crave it. And once they claim me, there's no coming back. One more thing... All three of them touch me, all three of them make me feel things, but there's one in particular... One... AUTHOR'S NOTE: A fair warning before you open this book; this isn't a sweet romance kind of book. It's dark, filled with sensual fantasies, fleshing longings, erotic musings, and lots, and lots of smut. So if this is your kind of vibe, "Welcome, princess and make sure you wear your seat belt. " But if this is not, then...

"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."

As Brad roared his release inside her sister, Ada turned her head towards the door with a smirk.
