Introduction

Sienna was Alpha Landon’s fated mate, yet she could only stand by as her own son called another woman “Mommy.”
She gave them everything but they never cared. Shattered by their betrayal, Sienna walked away from the pack, her mate bond, and the life that destroyed her.
Years later, she has risen from the ashes as a powerful businesswoman, returning to the capital to expand her empire. But fate throws her into an alliance with the man nobody would expect: the new Alpha King, Arthur, the ruler of the entire werewolf world.
He doesn’t want a mate. Neither does she. They swear they’ll never fall for each other.
But why does his touch calm her raging wolf? And why does his heartbeat stutter every time she says his name?
And why does it feel like the real danger isn’t their enemies—
but the bond they’re trying so desperately to deny?

    Chapter 1

    “My birthday wish is for Brianna to agree to be my mom.”

    My five-year-old, Owen, squealed.

    My heart dropped to my stomach and my blood went cold.

    The room erupts into laughter. I start pinching my skin and counting. One. pinch. Two. pinch. Three. Pinch.

    “Landon are you proposing?” One of the Omegas chortles.

    Brianna is grinning and filming with her phone. It’s practically glued to her hand.

    I stare hard at Landon. In his tailored suit, he looked impossibly handsome. But he doesn’t look at me.

    Time stands still and I can feel my throat tighten. Breathe Sienna, breathe. You can’t pass out here.

    Finally, they noticed me.

    “Landon, who is this?” Brianna scoffs like a teenager. She even looks like one in designer jeans and a thick expensive sweater, but she’s wearing stilettos. The heels are as sharp as her teeth.

    Owen’s face twists in confusion. He matches his dad in red sweatpants that mirror his flushed chubby cheeks. His brown hair is mussed and he can tell something is wrong. “She’s my nanny,” he says, like he’s bored. He’s surrounded by presents and people and now I am no one.

    The nanny. The nanny. I am so sick of that word.

    Landon and I are fated mates, Owen is our pup, but we’re not married. He doesn’t treat me like the woman he’s destined to be with, at all.

    All of this is because of my low status: I’m a werewolf like everyone else, but I didn’t grow up as a were-cub with a pack. My parents died young so I was an orphan until Landon’s pack adopted me.

    I will never be seen as Landon’s true forever fated mate, but even worse, as Owen’s mom.

    He’s called me Nini ever since he was three and couldn’t say Sienna. I would read him stories and I would say “Goodnight Wen” and he’d say “Goodnight Nini,” but never mom.

    I’ve wanted to tell Owen countless times that I am his mom, but Landon believes Owen will be the next heir of the pack. But if anyone finds out his mother is wolfless, the pack would be shamed.

    I love them more than anything, so I’ve kept silent. I play the part of a true nanny.

    I take a deep breath before looking up and smiling at Owen.

    “I brought you a gift Owen. Why don’t you open it and I can take a picture?” I ask. My phone is shoved in the back pocket of my jeans.

    I pass him the book wrapped in gold paper. It’s a scrapbook collection of Owen’s boyhood: his favorite colors, the lions he likes at the zoo, and more about what he’s learned over the last five years.

    I wrote ‘To Owen love Mommy’ on the front. I hope it’s something he can read to his cubs one day when he’s the Alpha. A caring Alpha.

    He rips off the paper and ribbon and frowns.

    “A book? That’s boring! I want to get in the toy car!”

    Brianna got him this bright red sports car he can drive around the block. It’s flashy just like her. It also has his name and flames wrapped around the side of it in black and orange.

    “Boring?” My voice cracks almost at a whimper. Owen doesn’t answer me and hugs Brianna’s leg.

    “Thanks again mommy!” He cries. His green eyes sparkle. He’s the perfect mix of Landon and I, but his eyes are his own.

    Landon claps his hands. “Look at my little gentleman,” he says in front of everyone. His Beta, Cory guffaws and claps Landon on the back.

    “Thatta boy, he knows what he likes! Just like his dad.” The room bursts into laughter again. Brianna’s leggy brunette friends, and the rest of the men in the pack.

    It doesn’t sound like warm laughter to me. It sounds like ice.

    Owen is still leaning against Brianna. “Mommy, I want to take out the car before we have cake,” he whines.

    “Of course you do sweetheart,” Brianna coos. “I know the bestest boy only wants to play with the coolest, most spectacular presents. It is boring compared to others,” she pauses. “Junk.”

    She turns to one of the lackeys. “Thomas, can you escort this random woman out?”

    My face flushes and I turn heel and stare at Landon. I can feel a tear drip down my face.

    “Landon you know I’m not random, how-” but I don’t get to finish my sentence before he takes my arm and leads me through the house and outside through a side door.

    He turns to me and his eyes look almost black. "What are you doing here? This isn’t a place you should be showing up,” he spat, like I was a burden to him.

    But all I wanted was just to bring my son a birthday gift.

    I look down and fiddle with the hem of my skirt.

    “Not a place I should be showing up?” I forced a smile, uglier than tears.

    “Have you forgotten our promise?”

    When I was still in the birthing suite at the hospital, Landon promised me we could tell Owen I was his mother on his fifth birthday. I would never have to introduce myself as his nanny in the park, the grocery store, or the doctor’s office. My baby could finally be mine.

    Landon once promised that he would reveal my true identity, and that we’d become a real married couple, just like any other mates.

    He reaches for my throat again and growls:

    “Sienna, your only value to me was giving me an heir for our bloodline. I did you a kindness and let you stay by Owen out of pity. Did you really think you could be my Luna?”

    Landon lied to me and he’s been lying all of these years.

    My brain is simultaneously screaming at me to stay calm, but also stand my ground. Hold the line. Do something. For God’s sake.

    My eyes well with tears before I wipe them away with a fist. “I’ll take Owen and leave! He’s mine as much as yours. That woman has no right to him, it’s a disgrace for him to call her mom!”

    “That’s impossible,” Landon laughs, but his eyes are still cold.

    “I’ve given you everything, Landon. I've given my all to you and our family. All I ever wanted was a mate who would stay loyal to me for life, and to hear my son call me ‘Mom’…”

    “Enough. Go home.” He turns on his heel and slams the door.

    I rush to follow him, but one of the lackey’s grabs my arm.

    “Don’t cause any more problems,” he snarls. “You’ll regret it.”

    I stumbled away, lost and broken.

    "You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.

    Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.

    "Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.

    My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.

    My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

    Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.

    Loving him will cost them everything…

    Not loving him will cost more.

    Derek has one goal: survive high school without drawing too much attention or pissing off his pack’s alpha.

    As the youngest son of the alpha, his life is governed by lycan hierarchy, tradition, and politics. With no signs of awakening a lycan spirit, his only value is what he can do for the pack’s image. He knows he’s only ever one misstep away from exile… or worse.

    Then, he finds a boy trapped in a locker on orientation day, and everything changes.

    Derek shouldn’t want Nikolias. He’s off-limits. A risk Derek can’t afford.

    So why does it feel like he’s the only thing worth fighting for?

    Nikolias has just lost everything: his parents, his home, and any sense of peace. Sent back to the town his family left years ago to live with his prejudiced and controlling uncle, who wants nothing to do with anything—or anyone—not human, he’s trying to do everything in his power to get out quickly.

    But then he meets Derek again, and all of his plans vanish in the soft, yearning flecks of gold in Derek’s green-hazel eyes. He’s drawn to Derek in a way that’s impossible to deny, and he thinks Derek feels the same way, despite the danger their relationship holds for him.

    As Moonshadow's politics turn deadly, Derek and Nikolai are caught in the crossfire of a war that had started long before they were born, and their bond becomes a threat and a lifeline that neither can afford to sever.

    Because the heart wants what it wants….

    And it never asks permission.

    "Ten years of atonement, and you flee?"

    His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.

    "Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.

    "Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."

    I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.

    "When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."

    On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.

    Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.

    From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.

    Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.

    Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.
