My Fated Alpha's Cruel Game

Finding your fated mate is supposed to be the happiest moment in a wolf’s life.

At least, that’s what she used to believe.

Everything changed when she turned eighteen and discovered her mate was Alpha Marcus—the cold, powerful leader of her pack and the same man who ruined her family after her father died protecting his.

Instead of accepting her, Marcus keeps their mate bond hidden from everyone. For the sake of politics and power, he publicly stays with his perfect fiancée while forcing her to watch from the sidelines. Every touch between them feels like torture through the bond, a pain she can’t escape no matter how hard she tries.

At the annual Alpha’s Gala, she tries to stay invisible like always, serving drinks while pretending her heart isn’t breaking.

Then another Alpha notices her.

Damien offers her something simple but unfamiliar after years of suffering—kindness.

Marcus sees it all.

Consumed by jealousy, he corners her in an empty hallway, trapping her against the wall with his overwhelming presence. Furious and possessive, he reminds her that no matter who stands beside him in public, their bond still ties her to him.

But for the first time, she sees cracks in the perfect mask Marcus always wears. Beneath the coldness is something far more dangerous—obsession, hunger, and emotions he can no longer fully control.

He may control the bond between them.

But she refuses to let him control her heart.

Caught between a cruel mate who claims ownership over her and a new Alpha who makes her feel seen again, she must decide whether fate is truly something worth following—or something meant to be broken.
