Elara Veyne

"Ahh!" She writhed in a haze of moans, her body trembling with conflicting sensations. She loathed this man, yet every fiber of her being reacted to his touch. As his hands began to roam along her waist, she sucked in a sharp breath—the sudden pull of her back zipper sent a shiver down her spine. The metal slider halted at the small of her back, and as it opened, her upper back and waist were exposed, baring her skin to the cool air. "D-Don’t—mmph!" Her protest was smothered by the pillow as his fingers caressed her bare spine, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake. With a deep, angry growl, he whispered harshly in her ear, "I'll make you forget every touch, every kiss, every thing about him. From now on, when you're with another man, you'll only see me."

Elara Vance was a withdrawn omega, often overlooked in the Silver Moon Pack for her quiet demeanor and unassuming appearance. But beneath her thick glasses lay a hidden crush on Rhys Knight, the pack's future Alpha and a notorious campus playboy. Rhys scoffed at mate bonds, treating relationships as disposable—until Elara's eighteenth birthday, when he publicly rejected her, turning her into the butt of every joke.

Now, Elara returns transformed—glasses discarded, her hair styled sleek and confident—and Rhys can't take his eyes off her. What if her blood holds a sacred heritage chosen by the Moon Goddess? What if the "humiliation" was part of a larger scheme? And when Rhys, the alpha who once dismissed her, kneels before her new love interest, Liam Thorne, begging for a second chance, who will claim victory in this battle of pride and passion?

Rejected by My Alpha Mate

I stared at the small pile of ash on the floor, the evidence of what I'd done. What I was capable of. My fingers trembled as I pressed them to my lips, the acrid smell of smoke still clinging to my skin.


"What am I?" I whispered to the empty room.


The flames had sprung from nowhere—from me—consuming Rowan's shirt in seconds. The memory of that sudden, fierce power coursing through my veins sent a chill down my spine. 


No time to dwell on it now. I needed to leave this place before Rowan returned.


I moved quickly, wiping away any trace of my tears with the back of my hand. My legs felt unsteady beneath me as I slipped out of his dorm room and into the hallway. The corridor seemed impossibly long, stretching before me like a gauntlet I had to run.


As I walked, I caught whispers. Snippets of conversation that made my stomach clench.


"That's her—the one who cheated on Alpha Rhys."


"Can you believe she'd risk everything for Rowan?"
