My husband despises me. Why wouldn’t he when he was forced into marrying me? I’m not even his true mate.She is.She’s everything he’s ever wanted—a pure and soft woman, not driven by selfishness and deceit like me. Her existence destabilizes everything.He was never mine to begin with, now I’m completely nothing to him.At least, I should be nothing to him. But his heir grows in my stomach. And his mate’s half-brother is my true mate.I never thought my fated half would be the King of all Alphas. The man doesn’t even see me as a person. Just like my ex-husband, I’m only a pawn in his eyes who has to fill in the role he wants me to.The Alpha King wants me to be his little chess piece. My ex-husband wants to rip his child out of my womb and destroy the last bridge connecting us. Rogues of unknown roots want me dead.How long can I last in this universe that seems unwilling to accept me wherever I go? I don’t know. But I’m a survivor.I won’t accept defeat lying down.
