Rejected Omega, Secret Bride of the Billionaire Lycan

I was the Thornton Pack's brilliant but "wolfless" assistant, a defect they treated like a charity case.

After years of letting the Alpha, Caleb, control me to prove my worth, he publicly humiliated and discarded me for a pure-blooded pack princess.

Heartbroken and drunk at a bar, I accidentally bit and marked a terrifying stranger who saved me from two creeps.

I woke up to find out I had drunkenly claimed Damien Blackwood—a ruthless billionaire and the apex Lycan King of the werewolf world.

To prevent a pack war over the claiming mark, Damien trapped me in a two-year contract marriage, treating me like a convenient political tool.

Right after we signed the papers, I got a call from the police.

My little brother, Jamison, had been arrested for punching Caleb, who was bragging about ruining my dignity.

At the precinct, Caleb sneered at my misery, threatening to destroy my brother's future.

Seeing the fresh bite mark on my neck, Jamison exploded in handcuffs, screaming that Damien had blackmailed me into his bed to get him out of jail.

I begged Damien to step outside so I could explain this horrific misunderstanding, feeling like I had sold my soul to a cold-blooded predator.

But Damien ignored my pleas. He pulled me behind him, his suffocating Lycan aura crushing everyone in the room.

"Yes, she was with me last night, because she is my wife."

Before anyone could process the shock, his eyes darkened with a terrifying, unhinged possessiveness.

"And I didn't marry her to solve a problem. I married her because I've been in love with her for ten years."

I stared at his broad back, my blood running cold as I realized I had no idea what kind of monster I had just bound my life to.
