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.

My legs started to feel tired, heavy in that good way, like after a long laugh. The waves brushed our ankles, softer now, almost shy. Lira bent down and splashed one last time, then laughed and wiped her face.


"Alright," she said, breathing a little hard. "That's enough."


Ronan groaned loudly. "Enough for you," he said. "I was just winning."


"You were slipping," I teased. "I saw you."


He laughed and shook his head. "Lies. Pure lies."


Lira crossed her arms and gave us both a look. "We need to go back," she said. "If we stay any longer, the Alpha will punish Ronan and me for taking his beloved princess out so late."


I stopped smiling for a second. "Beloved princess?" I repeated.


Lira looked at me like it was obvious. "You," she said. "Who else?"


I rolled my eyes, even though my cheeks felt warm. "You both need to stop treating me like a baby," I said. "My parents already do that enough."
