Now, the divorce papers are signed, the heels are higher, and the heart is colder.

In a world where power is everything and weakness is despised, the Werewolf Kingdom bows to one man—The Enigma, a ruler feared as much as he is revered. Cursed with a beast no one can tame, every full moon demands a bride… and every bride leaves shattered, unable to withstand the monster within him. When the next offering is demanded, fate takes a cruel turn. Instead of a noble daughter, Elian Silvermist—a male omega, unwanted and ridiculed—is forced to take her place. Hidden beneath his quiet strength lies a dangerous secret: a scent so intoxicating it can bring even the strongest Alpha to his knees. But the moment Elian steps into the Enigma’s castle, everything changes. Because the monster does not see prey. He sees his mate. As the full moon approaches, desire clashes with fear, and secrets begin to unravel. The closer Elian gets to the truth, the more he begins to question everything— Is the Enigma truly a devil… or a king bound by something far darker? And when the bond finally awakens, one question remains: Will Elian survive the monster… or become the only one who can tame him?

Miles was livid. His father had to be joking, right? Marrying a nineteen-year-old girl? Who does that? He was twenty when she was born, for God’s sake. The very idea disgusted him. Not because of what anyone would say—Miles didn’t care about public opinion. Reclusive, cold, rude, and emotionally unavailable, he had no interest in the world’s judgment. But this? This felt wrong. He wasn’t a predator, and he sure as hell wasn’t about to marry someone two decades younger than him. But his father wouldn’t back down, and losing the company wasn’t an option. So, he reluctantly agreed. He would marry the shy, damaged girl who had survived the worst at the hands of her step-family. He made himself a promise: he wouldn’t touch her. He would protect her, not become another perverted man she’d have to fear. What he didn’t expect was how hard that promise would be to keep. She was undeniably beautiful—soft curves in all the right places, her presence igniting desires he thought he could suppress. Suddenly, Miles found himself fighting not just his morals, but his erection. But she was his wife. He could touch her, right? Or at least look? She was going to be his undoing.

My father, the Beta of our pack, had sworn our bloodline to serve the Alpha King, Andrew Amadeus. By tradition, I was destined to be his mate. The night before our mating ceremony, I risked everything to save my stepsister, Emma Hughes, crossing into rogue territory—Wild Nest. I fought fiercely but was overpowered. At the ceremony, a cursed projection stone revealed my assault by the rogues. The pack recoiled in disgust. Andrew, seething with rage, rejected me and marked Emma instead, making her Luna Queen. To them, I was a disgrace, unworthy of an Alpha’s mark. As they called for my exile, Andrew’s younger brother, Anthony Amadeus, stepped forward. "Sophia Hughes, I have loved you in silence. By the name of the moon, I vow to be your mate for eternity." His words saved me. A year later, the healer told me I could finally carry a pup. Overjoyed, I rushed to find Anthony—only to overhear a chilling conversation. "Anthony, we helped the rogues infiltrate, lured Sophia to Wild Nest, and spread the video. She trusts you now… did we make a mistake?" He sighed. "For Emma to become Queen, Sophia had to be sacrificed. But it doesn’t matter—I’ll spend my life making it up to her." Betrayal cut deeper than any wound. My suffering had been planned. But if they thought I was broken, they had underestimated me. I would carve my own fate—with claws bared.
