Emily's life was shattered by the ultimate betrayal. In her past, she was a devoted sister and wife, but the flames of treachery consumed her, leaving her to die in a fire set by her own husband and sister. 

However, the moon had other plans, granting her a second chance at life. Reborn on her 18th birthday, Emily awakens to the cruel truth of her sister's envy and her husband's sinister intentions. Determined to rewrite her destiny, Emily rejects her deceitful mate, only to discover her soul is intertwined with that of the enigmatic Lycan King Benson Doorson, the sworn enemy of her ex-husband. 

What will Emily choose? Love or revenge?

Reborn As the Mate of the Cursed Alpha King

　　I sit in a chair next to Benson and give him a nod when his eyes land on me. I notice a mix of curiosity and concern fleeting across the alpha king's face. I try to offer a reassuring smile, but I know it doesn't work.


　　My father and Uncle Eric informed us that they would explain the rules of the training. Then, they will return to the evaluation room. I watch them leave, leaving Benson and me alone in the observation room. As soon as we're alone in the room, my whole body warms up, and I feel euphoric with this rare moment between me and Benson.


　　"Are you okay?" Benson asks, and I'm conflicted about the response I should give. I want to say that I miss his touch. I thought about seeing him in the early hours of the morning. I want to say how he has dominated my thoughts and my heart in a way I don't want him to.
