Rejected by the Heir, Claimed by the Alpha
“I went to the airport to pick up my fiancé after two months apart. Instead of a happy reunion, I found his fogged-up car in the dim parking garage. Inside, he was having sex with my own sister. I calmly called airport security to report them for public indecency. But when my family found out, I was the one put on trial. My father, the Alpha of our pack, furiously berated me for embarrassing the family. Without a second thought, he coldly announced my engagement was cancelled and transferred to my sister to maintain their precious business alliance. My mother and my ex-fiancé shamelessly defended the affair, blaming me for being jealous. After years of being the unloved, obedient daughter, the sheer injustice of being thrown away like garbage made my blood run cold. They actually believed they could strip away my future, hand it to my cheating sister, and I would just quietly accept it. I packed my bags and walked out of that toxic house forever. To get my ultimate revenge, I approached the most feared and powerful Alpha in the city-my ex-fiancé's ruthless uncle, Alaric Charles. I proposed a contract marriage to become their aunt and take back what was mine. He agreed surprisingly fast, but right after we signed the papers at City Hall, he dropped a terrifying bombshell. "You will begin your primary duty as my wife today. You will take care of my daughter."”
