Five years ago, she was rejected by her destined mate, Drew, a powerful Alpha who shattered her heart and left her vulnerable in ways he would never know. She disappeared without a trace, vanishing into a life full of shadows, danger, and the relentless training of a warrior in a distant pack. Little did her mate know that she was an Alpha herself, an Alpha who would flourish once she stepped into her territory. But when a deadly encounter forces her back into Drew's territory, Liana finds herself tangled in a web of long-buried emotions and unspoken truths. Drew, now the ruling Alpha of his pack, is forced to confront the regret that haunts him, determined to make amends for all the ways he failed her. As tensions rise and the forces around them close in, Liana must navigate a path between duty and desire, between forgiveness and self-preservation. Will she embrace the bond that fate has chosen, or will she forge her own destiny, even if it means breaking her own heart? In this story of power, redemption, and unbreakable resilience, Liana must decide: is love enough to rewrite the past, or will the ghosts of yesterday claim her future? Except, throughout the entire journey, they forget that once a bond has been rejected, it cannot be reforged.

"Kitten, is there something you want to tell me?" Aaron backed me into a corner. His canines protruded and he leaned towards my lips. "Not fair," I gulped. "We all have our secrets-" "Then allow me to share your burden." With a deep growl, his face buried against my neck. His teeth pierced my skin and I cried out. "Kelsie, trust me..." His growls shook my body and I moaned at the pleasure of him marking me. His hands roughly gripped my hips. First the pain, then the pleasure. He crushed me against the wall, sucking on my neck, his hips gyrating against mine. His calloused fingers squeezed my waist, punishing me with every touch. "Wolf, I-" "You need to be dominated." With another loud growl, his canines sank deeper into my flesh. The intense rush raced through me veins, begging for release. A release to remove the high of sexual desires gathering more within me. A release that could only be provided by him. The life of a cat shifter was never meant to be easy. Especially for the underage kittens, who don't develop their strength until they are adults. Hence, for the sole reason of safety, cat shifters form their own communities, away from the other species, to train the next generation of cats. Unless a particular cat has been exiled. That is my identity. An exiled kitten. My own relatives conspired against me and now I face a world of beasts, all alone. But a cat's story begins when it enters adulthood. I'm not the naive child I was back then. And I would have laid low, but some people just can't seem to let me be. And now, with the power of my wolf behind me, I have nothing to fear. Time to game up.

My father is the Alpha King. His mate is the Mafia Queen. And my new stepbrothers? They are the monsters meant to tear my kingdom down. • ​Reina Greenbriar is the Frost Princess of Crestware City. As the sole heir to her father’s multi-billion-dollar empire and the mightiest shifter pack in the realm, her life is a masterclass in calculation, luxury, and flawless control. She doesn't do chaos. She doesn't do unpredictable. And she certainly doesn't need a mother. ​But when her fiercely protective father finally finds his fated mate, Reina’s perfectly ordered world fractured in a single breath. ​Her new stepmother isn't some docile she-wolf. She’s Rosalie Hamilton. The ruthless, cold-blooded Mafia Queen of the city's criminal underbelly. Casinos, gambling dens, gangsters, and brothels; she monopolized them all. ​And she’s not coming alone. ​She’s bringing her four sons. Four rogue shifters who answer to no alpha, bound by no laws, and rumored to be just as vicious and bloodthirsty as their mother. They are lethal, devastatingly beautiful, and entirely corrupt. Now, they're moving into Reina’s pristine territory, and they have no intention of playing nice. ​Reina was raised to rule, trained to face any threat head-on. But these four don't just want her throne. They want her. They are determined to drag the Frost Princess down into their dark, violent world, shattering her icy composure piece by piece until she’s completely tamed to their desires. ​She thought she could outsmart them. She thought she could survive them. But you can't play a calculated game when the monsters have already rewritten the rules.
