The Secret Alpha King's Defiant Mate

Gale Kaaya Werewolf

“My fated mate, Donovan, treated our bond like a cold corporate merger. He lived in a rundown cabin, acted like a broke lumberjack, and forced me to sleep in a tiny storage closet. He kept his distance, constantly testing me with his icy stares. Then, his elegant grandmother arrived in a gleaming Bentley, completely shattering his poor-man facade. She handed me an unlimited black credit card with the billionaire Blackwood family crest. It was his ultimate test. He watched me with contempt, waiting for me to reveal myself as the greedy gold digger he was convinced I was. But the wealth felt like a weapon meant to humiliate me. I handed the black card back to him. "If this is the price of being your mate, it's a price I'm not willing to pay." I even sent him a desperate, vulnerable text, begging just for his closeness instead of his money. He never replied. His dead silence was the loudest rejection. I didn't understand why my fated mate despised me so much, or why he always assumed the absolute worst of me. With my heart completely shattered, I realized I had to fight my battles alone, especially when my ruthless in-laws tried to steal my small business. I wiped my tears and marched straight into my enemies' tech company. I was going to tear down their multi-million dollar fraud with my own two hands, completely unaware that my secretly billionaire Alpha was watching my every move, slowly going crazy with jealousy.”
