For two years, I was the Alpha King’s favorite toy—his “Chosen” human mate. It was a simple transaction: I pretended to belong to him, and he gave me the wealth and protection I desperately needed. Then I made a fatal mistake: I got pregnant. Now Kaelen—the most feared Alpha in all the territories—is a paranoid tyrant. He keeps me under constant guard, convinced I’ll run off with his precious half-blood heir. He’s not wrong. I told him, straight to his face, that I was only borrowing his body for now; once the baby is born, I’m gone. I have my own life to live—and my own fun to find. To make matters worse, his true “destined mate,” a noble she-wolf named Seraphina, has returned. The entire pack is waiting for me to be discarded. But Kaelen refuses to let me go. He watches my every move, drowning me in obscene wealth to keep me caged, his burning, possessive eyes promising to devour my very soul. He thinks he owns me. But I’ve been planning my escape since day one. The only problem? My heart never got the memo.
