FoBetrayal was one thing, but public humiliation? That was unforgivable. As the Alpha born heir of an ancient bloodline, Alpha Mireya was raised to lead, not to beg. Yet time and again, she forgave the mate fate chose for her, until she overheard him mocking her. Reducing their bond to nothing more than territory and inheritance. His final words were a bet: She will crawl back within the hour. She didn’t. Instead, she walked away, straight into a storm that changed everything. On the roadside, she found a wounded stranger, a man broken but burning with unyielding strength. What began as an act of power turned into an alliance deeper than blood. He pledged himself to her service. She gave him purpose. And slowly, dangerously, something more bloomed between them. But bond hunger is a cruel ache and her ex isn’t done with yet. When the past storms on her doorstep, demanding obedience, he finds her no longer alone…but wrapped in the arms of the man who defy fate itself for her. She was born to rule. Now she will choose who stands beside her. For love. r loyalty. For vengeance.
