Betrayed by My Ex, Marked by His Alpha Emperor Brother

“Miss Elara, I presume?”

His voice filled the room like distant thunder—low, smooth, and way too calm. It hit her harder than she expected, like it was vibrating straight through her chest.

Elara suddenly went completely dry-mouthed. Not just nervous—fully blank, like her brain had stopped working. Every word she knew just disappeared.

And then her inner wolf, Moonlight—silent for days, calm like deep water—suddenly exploded inside her mind.

**MATE.**

The feeling was so strong it almost knocked her off balance. She staggered back, her hip hitting the edge of the desk.

**MINE! HE IS MINE!**

A few days earlier, Elara thought catching her boyfriend in bed with her own sister was the lowest point of her life.

Turns out, that was just the beginning.

Her parents knew everything. Worse—they planned it. Every comforting word, every fake smile… all of it was a lie. And Elara, the ignored omega of the family, was never meant to matter in the first place.

Broken and alone, she ends up at a downtown bar trying to drown everything out. That’s where she makes a reckless choice—one night with a masked stranger who touches her like fire and makes her forget everything.

But when she wakes up, he’s gone. No name. No message. Nothing.

Three weeks later, she’s staring at two pink lines on a pregnancy test.

Kicked out of her family and left to survive on her own, Elara takes the first stable job she can find—working as a maid in the private estate of the Alpha Emperor. It’s simple. Safe. No complications.

At least, that’s what she thinks.

Because the moment she steps into his presence, her wolf loses control.

**Mate!!!**

And sitting right there on the throne is the cold, ruthless emperor himself.
