“Love you?” Cedric scoffs, “How dare you ask that from me? You mean nothing to me and you are just like every other maid in this palace.” His words cut deep into my heart and I know one more attack will shatter it completely. “You are not even worth my time.” He turns to leave but I desperately crawl to him. I fall on my knees and grab his leg to stop him. He stops, rigid against my hands. “Then treat me like them. Punish me even, I’ll take it!” Anything to just be looked upon by him. He lowers himself to meet my eyes and he smirks, his blue eyes gleaming with so much hatred for me it causes me to shrink. “Putting my hands on you is too much of a privilege. You already tricked me into doing it once but hell will freeze before I will ever lay my hands on you again.” *** Unloved. Betrayed. Pathetic. Unworthy. Those are the only words that can describe the life of Nelissa Arandalle as the wife of the feared Alpha King of the Werewolf kingdom. Married to a man who has made it clear that he would never touch her till the day he dies, a man who vowed to love only his true mate even in her death. Nelissa is forced to live on the crumbs he offers, hoping that some day, he would love her. When her position as the Luna Queen is threatened, she takes matters into her own hands and tricks the Alpha King into sleeping with her. Things spiral out of control when he almost kills her after finding her in his bed. Nelissa is forced to run for her life but what happens when she finds out she is pregnant with the child of the man who wants nothing to do with her? Just how far can she run when he finds out?
