“The night I met my Fated Mate was supposed to be a dream. Instead, the sacred bond became a one-way ticket into his twisted mind. I heard the truth: Alpha Kade Vargr only wanted my family's money, and his heart belonged to his manipulative sister, Lila. He tried to break me, orchestrating an "accident" that left me bleeding in a ravine just to teach me a lesson. Then, at my own party, he humiliated me by broadcasting my most shameful memory for everyone to see. My soulmate was a monster, and I was his plaything. But when I confronted him, he swore a sacred oath on his soul that it wasn't him. Then, to protect his guilty sister, he stood before our people and confessed to the crime anyway. He made his choice. And I made my vow: I would destroy them both.”
