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

I stood at the entrance of the grand Valois mansion, watching the trio in the garden. Leo was chasing after a butterfly while Adrian and his cousin Tristan followed at a leisurely pace. They looked so carefree, so happy. A perfect little family scene that made my stomach twist with jealousy.

When Adrian had rehired me as Leo's tutor, I thought things would change. That I might actually become a part of their world. But here I was, still on the outside looking in.


The past week had been strange. Adrian defended me against Camille's accusations, and Leo welcomed me back with open arms. Even Tristan had been friendly, offering me encouragement and support.

I turned to find a maid hovering nearby.
