Introduction

When Lucian Grimwood, Alpha of the Dark Howls pack, cruelly rejected Adriana Brown as his mate in the midst of his friends and pack members, Adriana's world shattered. She watched in despair, how her mate held her step-sister, Stella in his arms and continued kissing her like nothing happened.

For Adriana, life as a powerless omega without a wolf was an unrelenting trial, as she was subjected to cruelty by her stepfamily and the pack members.

Following rejection, Adriana sought solace in a bar, only to wake up the next morning in the embrace of a stranger. Fleeing from the bar, she returned home only to be coerced by her stepmother to become a substitute bride in place of her step-sister, Stella.

Left with no option, Adriana reluctantly agreed to wed the lycan king, unaware that fate has entwined her with the stranger from the bar.

As Adriana became the wife of the lycan king, she embarked on a quest to capture the heart of the Lycan king. However, her efforts became fruitless when the lycan king's long-lost fiancée came back.

“ What would be the fate of Adriana?”

Will she be able to win back the lycan king even though his long-lost love was back?

Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1

ADRIANA'S POV

“Lucian!” I called when I saw him kissing a lady. I bit back the cry that was about to escape my lips as I watched my mate kiss another lady right in front of my eyes.

Why am I the only wolf in this pack who is Ill-fated?

Why don't I deserve happiness?

I looked up only to see a devilish smirk dancing at the corners of his lips. I am sure he knew what he was doing.

“ Oh, my mate is here” Lucian said in a mocking tone and all his friends present burst into laughter, while I stood rimmed to the ground.

I was too heartbroken to say a word. I thought my sufferings would be over if I found my mate, but I was certainly mistaken because my suffering was doubled when I saw who my mate was.

My mate turned out to be the alpha of our pack, Dark Howls pack. I never wish for an alpha as a mate, I always pray for an ordinary male-wolf, who would love me to the moon and back, cherish me and give me that love that I was denied of since the death of my mother.

The lady who Lucian was kissing turned to face me, and my heart flew into my mouth instantly.

Isn't she my step-sister, Stella?

Why would she be kissing my mate?

I wasn't aware of when I fell on my butt, looking so pale as tears rolled down my eyes.

Kissing a stranger wouldn't have hurt much, but kissing my step-sister hurts much that I literally felt my heart shattering into a thousand pieces.

I know me and Stella weren't always on good terms because she maltreats me alongside her mother, even though she was my younger sister, but it hurt to see her kissing my mate.

Stella smirked at me and I couldn't believe it. So she did it deliberately?

She was aware that Lucian is my mate, yet she seduced him? How cruel can she be?

Being maltreated by her and her mother wasn't enough, now she had seduced my mate and made him hers without my consent.

Lucian is the alpha of our pack and the most handsome man in the Dark Howls pack, he had curly black hair with brown eyes that could have drawn any soul in them.

I knew he was going to reject me eventually the minutes I found out that he was my mate. No alpha of any pack would want to make an ordinary omega without a wolf as his Luna and wife. He wants an alpha blood female who would rule the pack with him and make the pack the strongest among others, not a weak omega without a wolf like me.

“ Bastard!” I muffled under my breath as he smooched Stella's lips right in front of me.

" Do you think I would accept an omega like you as my mate?” Lucian said after he broke the kiss with Stella, who was rubbing his chiseled chest.

“ But I am your mate, Lucian” I stated, reminding him that I am his mate and he was supposed to be kissing me, not my step-sister.

" You're my mate, and so fucking what? Don't tell me you came running here because you thought I was going to welcome you with wide arms?” He laughed in a mocking tone. All his friends and pack members also joined him in the laughter, making me look like a fool and a weakling in front of them.

“ So aren't you welcoming me with open arms? Are you going to choose my step-sister over your mate?” I gathered the courage to speak, and Lucian chuckled coldly before moving forward to where I stood.

With every step he took, my heart beat became faster as he drew closer to me. He stopped just an inch away from me as he looked at me with those cold eyes of his, making me shiver.

The aura emitting from him was screaming danger, but I wasn't backing out so easily. I am not a trash that could be tossed around because I am weak.

“ Give me two reasons why I should choose you over your sister?” That was the first question that left his mouth when he drew closer to me.

I lost my tongue because my head immediately went blank because of his hot breath which was fanning my face.

“ I….” I couldn't form a word, and he smirked.

“ I can't make a weakling like you as my mate, you don't even have a wolf, do you?” He mocked, and I tightened my fists in anger.

Growing up for me was like living in a total different world as I faced criticism because I didn't have a wolf, and I was a weakling.

For the past eighteen years after the death of my mother, I have grown accustomed to their hateful and hurtful wards towards me because I had no one to fight for me except for my mum, who was now dead.

I felt tears sprawling from the corners of my eyes as my heart bled like I was stabbed by a dagger.

“ I am not a weakling, Lucian! My wolf would come out soon” I defended as my shoulder trembled in anger because of how I was mocked.

I knew I was a weakling, but must they rub it on my face?

Lucian was already furious because of how I talked back at him, so he raised his hand and landed me a deafening slap. I fell to the ground, hurting my knees in the process.

“ I, Lucian Grim wood, Alpha of Dark Howls pack, reject Adriana Brown as my mate and the Luna of my pack.” He said with a smirk dancing on his lips and at that instant, I felt a sharp pain like an arrow shoot into my heart, making me to grip my chest in pain as I began to wallow and wail in pain.

My vision became blurry as I was blinded with tears, but everyone around me burst into laughter, including Lucian as he watched me wallow in pain like nothing happened.

Why is my life filled with misfortunes? My only hope of escaping the torture of my stepmother and step-sister shattered that minute.

I could see the amusing look on his face as he watched me withered in pain like it was fun to him.

"Come here."
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

I never applied to the Academy for Magical Beings and Creatures.

Which is why it was more than a little confusing when a letter arrived with my name already printed on a schedule, a dorm waiting, and classes picked out as if someone knew me better than I knew myself. Everyone knows the Academy, it’s where witches sharpen their spells, shifters master their forms, and every kind of magical creature learns to control their gifts.

Everyone except me.

I don’t even know what I am. No shifting, no magic tricks, nothing. Just a girl surrounded by people who can fly, conjure fire, or heal with a touch. So I sit through classes pretending I belong, and I listen hard for any clue that might tell me what’s hidden in my blood.

The only person more curious than me is Blake Nyvas, tall, golden-eyed, and very much a Dragon. People whisper that he’s dangerous, warn me to keep my distance. But Blake seems determined to solve the mystery of me, and somehow I trust him more than anyone else.

Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s dangerous.

But when everyone else looks at me like I don’t belong, Blake looks at me like I’m a riddle worth solving.
