The Alpha King's Billion Dollar Mate

“I spent twenty-two years believing I was wolfless. Then the Alpha King found me and offered me a billion dollars to pretend I was not his mate. In a world where your wolf determines your absolute worth, I was always considered defective. My pack treated me like a burden, and I learned to survive by expecting nothing from anyone. Then Thomas Veyre, the most powerful and feared Alpha in the supernatural world, walked into my territory. His wolf recognized me instantly. I was his fated mate. But instead of claiming me, Thomas offered me a contract. One billion dollars to move into his luxurious palace, remain within close proximity to satisfy the agonizing pull of the mate bond, and publicly deny that there is anything between us. He thinks he can buy my cooperation and hide me away. He is wrong. I have survived too much to simply yield to a man just because a supernatural bond demands it. For a billion dollars and my complete financial independence, I can play his game. But the cold, heavily disciplined Alpha King is finding it impossible to keep his distance. He weaponizes the contract just to keep me in his sight. He learns my habits. He remembers things I never told him. And he becomes dangerously, violently protective the moment anyone else gets too close to me. The man who was supposed to keep his distance is falling first. However, the deeper I am pulled into Thomas's royal world, the more I realize my wolfless condition is a terrifying lie. Someone sealed my wolf when I was a child. Someone erased my family history. And someone within the royal court has spent two decades making sure I never discover who I really am. I am not the powerless stray everyone believed me to be. I am the last heir to an ancient, dormant bloodline. When the kingdom discovers the truth, the Alpha King will not just have to choose between his crown and his mate. He will have to choose between the woman he loves and the empire he swore to protect.”
