Ciela Rae

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

A warm feeling spread through my chest as I watched Tristan handle the situation with such firm grace. Not many men would have addressed the waitress's behavior so directly, especially when it was flattering to them.


"Would you like to try some of mine?" Tristan asked, gesturing to his perfectly cooked steak.


"Yes, please." I smiled, genuinely enjoying myself for the first time in what felt like forever.


He cut a piece and reached across the table with his fork. I leaned forward to accept the bite, aware of how intimate the gesture was. The steak practically melted in my mouth.


Tristan's eyes never left mine. "I'm glad you like it."


Our waitress remained professionally distant for the rest of the meal, her earlier flirtation replaced with proper service. With that tension gone, I found myself relaxing more into Tristan's company. He was charming, attentive, and seemed genuinely interested in everything I had to say.
