Antonio De Luca, a powerful and wealthy alpha billionaire, has everything he could ever want—except the acceptance of his destined mate, Olivia. At a prestigious gala, Olivia publicly rejects Antonio, humiliating him because he doesn't fit her image of the ideal man. Heartbroken and seething with rage, Antonio swears he will never forgive her. But Olivia's rejection sets off a chain of events that neither of them could have anticipated, forcing them into each other's paths once more. As Antonio plots his revenge, he discovers that beneath his fury lies a dangerous attraction, and that Olivia’s life is far more complicated than he ever imagined. In a world of high stakes business, dark secrets, and deadly enemies, will Antonio’s need for vengeance destroy them both, or will it lead to an unexpected redemption?

ANTONIO DE LUCA: The Rejected Alpha's Contract

Antonio's eyes widened, and for a moment, the world seemed to still around them. "You're… pregnant?" he repeated, his voice filled with a mixture of shock and awe.

Olivia nodded, her hand instinctively moving to rest over her belly. "I found out a few weeks ago. I wanted to tell you sooner, but… with everything happening, I didn't know when the right time would be."

Antonio's expression softened, and before she could say anything else, he pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly against him. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" he asked, his voice thick with emotion.

"I didn't want to distract you," Olivia murmured, burying her face against his chest. "I didn't want you to worry about me when the pack needed you."
