EXCERPT:
“Axel, no. We… can’t do this!” I jolted back when he pulled up my skirt.

As if to retaliate, he grabbed my wrist and yanked my body to his. “We can do whatever I say we can do, María José.”

“I’m your brother’s reject. Do you even hear yourself right now? He didn’t want me, Axel. What does that make me to you?”

“I don’t care about Álvaro’s foolishness. It's his loss for losing a woman like you.”

“Okay, I must confess. I'm not worried about him either. It's Rosa… you're getting engaged to my sister in a month!”

 “Let me remind you, María José—I don’t give a fuck about that, either.”

No matter how hard I jerked, he wasn’t letting me go. And part of me—so, so foolishly—didn’t want him to.

Having spent her life avoiding the spotlight, María Jośe never imagined she’d be the one to bring shame to her esteemed De la Vega family. With beauty as captivating as a field of lilies, she is the prized daughter of an ambitious father who cares more for his reputation than his children’s happiness. 

When Álvaro Montenegro, the arrogant heir to the Alpha title, sets his sights on her as his chosen Luna, María Jośe is desperate for a way out.

But everything changes when the Moon Goddess answers her prayer in the most unexpected way: María Jośe discovers she is an Omega—wolfless and the lowest rank in the pack. Once held in awe, she is now shunned; a source of shame to her father and a target for ridicule in the pack.

As her life turns upside down , María Jośe's hatred for the pack grows. The only solace she finds is in her growing, forbidden bond with Axel Montenegro—Álvaro’s older brother, who has turned his back on the pack to live as Beta. 

These two developed  a love-hate friendship born from their shared disdain for the pack’s cruelty, which slowly evolves into a passionate, secret romance.

But when Álvaro discovers Axel’s interest in María Jośe, jealousy ignites within him and he suddenly wants María Jośe as his own. 

Love, vengeance, and betrayal all brewed into a whirlwind of drama, desires, and deadly comebacks. Will María Jośe rise from the ashes of her former life, or will she be consumed by the power struggles of the pack she despises? Will she give in to the oldest brother who is scared of commitment or the younger one who fiercely seeks redemption?

Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by his Brother

The villa was silent when I arrived, away from prying eyes and the body on my shoulder slouching like it could fall flat anytime soon.

Only the faint rustling of leaves and the occasional creak of the wooden beams of the compound disturbed the stillness.

The gates were guarded, as expected. Two men, dressed in dark jackets with pistols draped at their sides, stood at attention. They weren't speaking much, just exchanging tired glances, eager for their shift to end

Since they couldn't see me, I needed a distraction. I reached for a nearby pile of stones and, with a flick of my wrist, sent one flying toward the trees behind them. It wasn't easy with Clara's weight on my shoulder, but I did it.

The sharp snap of the impact made both guards jolt upright.

"The hell was that?" one of them muttered, gripping his weapon.

"Probably just some animal," the other replied, though he didn't sound convinced.
