Sera had always known she had a mate. She had seen him in her dreams since childhood—his warmth, his love, his whispered promises. But when she finally meets him in reality, everything crumbles.

Her mate is none other than Lucian, the Alpha King, the most powerful werewolf in the world. But he is nothing like the man in her dreams. He is cold, ruthless, and completely uninterested in their bond. Worse, he humiliates her in front of everyone, shattering her heart.

But fate is cruel. When war looms on the horizon, Sera is forced to stay in his kingdom, trapped under his rule. He wants nothing to do with her, yet he refuses to let her go. And when a deadly enemy threatens to destroy them all, she realizes there is more to their bond than either of them understands.

If the Alpha King was truly her mate… then why does he treat her like an enemy?

The Alpha's Forgotten Mate

<p>I never claimed to be a visionary. I'm not a philosopher or some grand ideologue who sits around dreaming about better worlds and how to shape them with poetry and hope. No, I do what needs to be done. When the system is poisoned, you don't write a letter to the king—you burn the throne. I didn't enjoy this war either, didn't relish in bloodshed or the deception it demanded. But I wasn't naïve enough to believe we'd see change without sacrifice. And if someone had to carry the burden of those decisions, I was willing.</p>

<p>I didn't hate Lucian. If anything, I pitied him. A man, trapped in a throne built on centuries of unchecked power. That was the problem—not Lucian, but what he represented. The crown. The council. The pack leaders and their stagnant rules. Their blind reverence for a hierarchy and pure bloodlines that crushed people like me.</p>
