Rejected by His Heir, Chosen by His Crown
They told me I was the luckiest omega alive.
An orphan from a dying pack, promised to Kellan Thorne — heir to the most powerful House in the Lycan Council. On our Marking Night, under the full moon, in front of all twelve Houses, he was supposed to bite me and make me his forever.
Instead, he looked at me like I was something scraped off his shoe, and said the four words that ended my life:
"I feel nothing. Fake mate. Barren. Defective."
He marked another woman before the moon had even set.
They dragged me out of Thorne Tower like garbage.
But someone on that dais didn't look away.
The King.
Kellan's father. The coldest, most feared Lycan alive — a man who hadn't looked twice at anyone in twenty years. Alaric Thorne watched me fall. And for one single second, his eyes said something no one else's in that room did.
So I made a choice.
I wouldn't cry. I wouldn't run. I wouldn't stay small.
I would take everything Kellan was ever promised — starting with the man who sits above him.
I would make the King choose me.
I just didn't know he already had — twenty years ago, on the night my whole family burned.
I didn't know the bond they swore was fake was the only real thing left in a world built on lies.
And I didn't know that the moon hadn't sent me here to be anyone's wife.
It sent me here to break every false bond they'd ever chained the world with.
His heir called me barren. His king called me mate. The crown called me home.
