He rejected me.
Now I'm dying... and only the Lycan King can save me.

I was just a quiet human girl trying to pay rent and stay invisible?until the most dangerous man in the city started showing up every morning at my café.

Cold eyes. Wild power. A stare that felt like a claim.

I told myself he was just another rich customer.

I was wrong.

One night, the stranger found me in the dark... and the bond between us snapped tight.
He said I was his fated mate?like it was law. Like my body already belonged to him.

And for one single night, I forgot how to breathe without him.

By sunrise, he vanished.

So I went looking for answers... and walked straight into a nightmare.

Because the man who held me like treasure wasn't just a man.

He was King Soren Nightvale, the Lycan ruler.
And in front of his pack... he rejected me. Like I was nothing. Like that night never happened.

I left with a broken heart?
and a secret I swore I'd take to the grave.

I was pregnant. With his twins.

I ran. I hid. I built a life far away from wolves and crowns and cruel fate.
For years, I kept my babies safe.

Until the day a rogue's bite poisoned my blood.

Now my time is running out.

And the Lycan King's brother has found me.

He drags me back to the palace I promised I'd never see again... back to the king who shattered me... back to the mate bond I can still feel under my skin.

Now the king knows I'm dying.

He also knows the truth.

His heirs are alive. And they're mine.

If the pack finds out a human carried the Lycan King's children, they'll call my twins a threat.
If the royal council learns what I'm hiding, they'll demand my death.
And if King Soren chooses me now, he could start a war that burns every border.

But if he doesn't...

My twins will lose their mother.
And the Lycan King will lose the one mate fate chose for him?forever.

A rejected mate.
A secret pregnancy.
Twin heirs to a savage throne.
And a king who may be my cure... or my end.
