The King sacrificed her for his crown. Now, the price is the son he never knew.
When exiled Beta Selena Hartwood shared a reckless night with the lethal, untouchable Lycan King Alaric Thornwyn, the result was a secret son—and his immediate, brutal rejection. Four years later, Selena has built a protected life far from the shifter world, raising her uniquely powerful boy, Dorian, in safety. But when a ruthless Syndicate targets Alaric’s corporation, fate slams Selena back into the King's path as an independent security expert.
The moment Alaric catches the scent of his long-denied heir, his icy control shatters. Driven by primal instinct, he forces Selena and Dorian into his secure Royal Citadel. But Selena won't submit. She demands a strictly platonic pact, forcing the King to earn his way back into her heart with trust, not brute force.
Trapped together in a gilded cage, their shared fear for Dorian ignites a desperate, forbidden passion. But as Alaric’s fiancée, Queen Seraphina, orchestrates a vicious plot to expose Selena as a traitor, the King is forced to choose: maintain the political lie that guarantees stability, or publicly claim his true Mate and risk the full-scale civil war his betrayal was meant to prevent.
Discover a rejected mate romance where the stakes are life, death, and the soul of an entire kingdom.
Will the King risk his throne to win back the woman he shattered, or will his final choice cost him everything?
