Seraphina’s fated mate rejected her to marry the Lycan Chairman’s daughter - Adrian Valois’s precious Camille. As if that wasn’t brutal enough, he destroyed her family and tried to force her into becoming his secret mistress! Seraphina’s answer? “I’d rather be with your future father-in-law than ever submit to you!” Adrian is notorious for his power, wealth, and being the ultimate playboy who never touches the same woman twice. But Seraphina’s about to shatter all his rules… over and over again.

The Lycan Alpha’s Forbidden Desire

The heavy moment lingered between us, my heart pounding wildly in my chest. Adrian's words echoed in my head: "From now on, you are going to live with me."


I opened my mouth to respond when a sharp knock interrupted us.


"Seraphina? Are you in there?" My mother's voice came through the door, tinged with worry.


Adrian stepped back, creating space between us. I drew in a shaky breath, my bandaged hand throbbing slightly as I moved to open the door.


"Mom," I said, trying to keep my voice steady.


Her eyes immediately went to my bandaged hand, her face crumpling with concern. "What happened? Arthur told me you were hurt."


"It's nothing serious," I reassured her quickly, not wanting her to worry. "I just had an accident with a broken glass. Mr. Valois helped clean it up."


The lie fell easily from my lips. I couldn't tell her the truth—couldn't add to her burdens with what had really happened with Fiona.
