ALPHA'S LESSON: My Mate In Disguise.
Werewolf Harper Winters always believed in facts, not fairy tales. As a top anthropology student in Crescent Falls, she's more interested in ancient myths than in dating or fitting in. But when she enrolls in Professor Adrian Blackwood's class on folklore, she's drawn to the mysterious professor in ways she can't explain. His dark eyes hide secrets, and his presence sends shivers down her spine.
What Harper doesn't know is that Adrian is hiding more than just a passion for history-he's the Alpha of a powerful werewolf pack, sworn to protect the supernatural world from lurking threats. He's also harboring an agonizing secret: Harper is his fated mate, bound to him by forces neither can control. But if he reveals the truth, he risks unleashing a deadly prophecy that could destroy them both.
When Harper's research into the town's legends leads her into the heart of a deadly conspiracy, she finds herself caught in a battle between rogue wolves, ancient curses, and her own growing powers. Her mother's cryptic warnings and Harper's vivid dreams reveal a hidden lineage she never knew existed-and a destiny she can't escape.
With the vengeful rogue wolf Marcus threatening to tear Adrian's pack apart, Harper must decide if she can trust the one man who's been keeping her in the dark. As danger closes in, and the lines between friend and foe blur, Harper and Adrian are forced to confront their unbreakable bond and the dark forces determined to destroy them.
In a world where nothing is as it seems, Harper's only chance for survival lies in embracing the wolf within her-and the Alpha destined to be by her side.
But some bonds come with a deadly price...

Untouchable: The Alpha's Miracle Doctor
Yue Rujing I was the wolfless disgrace of the pack, traded like cattle to a dying monster.
When a royal decree stripped away my engagement, my own father gave my fiancé to my cruel sister, Charly. My punishment for being born without a wolf? A forced marriage to Demetri Contreras—the crippled, disgraced Alpha left to rot from silver poison.
They threw me into a frozen, forgotten estate, waiting for my new husband to die so I could be buried as a silent widow.
Charly laughed as she stole my life, my mate, and my future. My family discarded me, just like they murdered my mother years ago.
They thought this exile would break me. They thought I was a helpless pawn.
They didn't know that inside this fragile body lived the soul of the top interstellar miracle surgeon.
Looking at the ruined, festering Alpha bleeding on my wedding bed, I didn't see a corpse. I saw the deadliest weapon in the realm.
The fallen Alpha needs a miracle to survive. Lucky for him, I am the miracle.
I will drag this monster back from the gates of hell—and together, we will burn my enemies to ash. The Luna You Betrayed Is No Longer Yours
Erika002 "This is Virella, my wife."
Three years.
And that was all Alpha Kaelen gave me.
No welcome. No touch. No recognition.
Just another woman at his side, carrying his child.
While I ruled in his absence, I was nothing more than a placeholder. A Luna he never chose.
So I gave up. And I left.
One rejection was all it took to break the bond.
When I returned, I wasn't the Luna he abandoned. I was untouchable, respected, and feared. And no longer his to claim.
Now he watches me like a man drowning...
Because the woman he discarded came back as something far beyond his reach. And this time, I didn't come alone.
The Alpha of Ebonmoon stands beside me, his presence crushing, and his hand firm on my waist...
"Careful, Kaelen," his voice drops, dark with warning. "Rowena isn't yours anymore."
His lips brush my temple, possessively. "She's mine. If you try to take her, I'll end you." The Alpha's Discarded Luna
Velvet Piston I was three months pregnant when the car hit me.
Lying there, barely hanging on, I called my husband-Alpha Ethan-over and over. No answer. When I finally woke up from the pain, I saw a post from his first love, Ivy. "Thank you, Alpha, for knowing how scared I am of the dark and staying with me all night. He even cleared his whole schedule today to take me to the auction, just to give me the best gift in the world. I'm so happy!"
Right then, it hit me. While I was fighting to protect our child, he was with another she-wolf. I calmly liked her post and put my phone away.
Since he chose his first love, I chose to let go.
Seven days from now, I'd leave his world for good-with our child. His Defiant Mate: The Lycan King's Chosen Luna
MAINUMBY I was waiting at the Registry Hall to formalize my mate bond with Gabe, my childhood sweetheart and the Alpha of our pack.
He was thirty-two minutes late.
When I finally found him in a private VIP lounge, his hands were buried in my cousin's hair, their lips locked together.
Hailee was supposed to be my maid of honor.
Instead of apologizing, Gabe looked me dead in the eye and used his Alpha authority to publicly reject me.
The severing of our ten-year bond tore my soul apart, but the nightmare didn't stop there.
My grandfather immediately called, demanding I clean up a mess Hailee had made.
When I refused, he disowned me on the spot, froze every single one of my bank accounts, and stripped me of my family name.
Within hours, my entire pack erased my existence, gleefully announcing Hailee as their new Luna.
I had given my entire life to a family and a man who discarded me like worthless trash the second I became inconvenient.
I was left broken, humiliated, and utterly penniless in the blink of an eye.
But as I stumbled out of that sterile hall, a terrifyingly beautiful stranger stepped out of the shadows, radiating a primal power that made my knees weak.
He was Caden Sinclair, the ruthless Lycan King, and he was dodging a forced political union of his own.
"You need a shield. I need a wife. Marry me."
Without hesitation, I signed the Eternal Vow. From Wolfless Omega To The Rival Alpha's Queen
Jun Shangye For three years, I poured my blood, sweat, and tears into building Blackwood Group for Alec, my Alpha and the man I thought was my mate.
But on the day of our work anniversary, I stood outside his office door and heard him talking with his Beta, shattering my entire world.
"Kay is just a wolfless Omega, useful for paperwork," Alec sneered coldly.
"The bonding ceremony is just a show for the elders. The real Luna, the one who carries the bloodline that matters, is Breanne. I'm transferring all of Kay's core project files to Breanne tomorrow. Let her take the credit."
He even texted me later, telling me to wear a blue dress to the upcoming gala because it made me look "obedient."
I had turned down a Wharton scholarship for this man. I had spent countless nights fixing his mistakes, building his empire, and giving him my youth.
Yet to him, I was nothing but a disposable placeholder, expected to smile and bow while another woman stole my life's work and my place by his side.
The agonizing pain in my chest didn't break me; it forged me into ice.
I didn't cry, and I certainly didn't beg.
Instead, I wiped his servers clean of every strategy I had ever created, left a wax-sealed resignation on his desk, and accepted a job offer from his most ruthless rival. The Beast's Defiant Mate
Lively At the grand Moonwise Festival, my fiancé, Archon Elliott, decided to publicly humiliate me in front of the entire court.
He commanded me to kneel and beg for his betrothal flower, treating me like a broken slave rather than the heir to House Leon.
When I refused, he brought his mistress, Corliss Schneider, into my study to deliver his ultimate punishment.
"Our marriage will be in name only. I will not share your bed, and I will certainly never give you a child."
He wanted to make me a barren laughingstock, while forcing me to publicly request Corliss be made his Junior Consort.
To make things worse, Corliss pulled out a jeweled dagger-the exact kind her cousin had used to cripple my brother's leg.
"On your wedding day, you will take this dagger, and you will slice open your own arm."
She demanded I bleed at the threshold of the Underwood estate as "payment" for offending her.
Elliott didn't stop her. Instead, a dark flicker of pleasure crossed his eyes. He wanted to see me mutilated.
I had wasted years loving a man who blindly protected the woman who ruined my family, believing he could force my submission.
But I didn't cry or beg. I simply laughed at their sheer stupidity. His Unwanted True Mate Is The Secret Pack Heir
Dashing Wave Rider I was lying in the cold delivery room, enduring the agonizing contractions of giving birth to twins.
When I desperately called my fated mate, Alpha Dixon, to tell him the babies were coming, his voice was like ice.
"Let my assistant handle it. Don't call me again."
He hung up, abandoning me for another woman's laughter in the background.
He left me to give birth completely alone, treating me like a pathetic, disposable Omega.
He had even threatened that if I didn't sign the mate rejection papers, he would take my children away forever.
I thought my life was shattered by the man who was supposed to protect me.
But a routine blood test by the hospital's Healer revealed a shocking truth.
I wasn't an orphaned nobody. I was the long-lost pureblood White Wolf heir of the legendary Beaumont Pack.
Within hours, my true family—a powerful Alpha father, a Luna mother, and three fiercely protective brothers—rushed to my side, wrapping me in the absolute authority and wealth of the world's strongest Pack.
Backed by my new family, I summoned Dixon to the Pack Council to formally complete our rejection.
I watched his arrogant face as the clerk asked if I accepted his rejection.
But just as I opened my mouth to sever our bond forever, Dixon froze.
He was hit by an urgent mind-link, and his cold confidence instantly shattered into pure, unadulterated panic.
"We're not done!" he snarled, fleeing the hall before the ceremony could end.
I stood there, staring at the door. What on earth did that mind-link say? One Luna, Three Alphas
Plume d'Iris "Ironic, isn't it? For years, you made my life hell-and now you look at me like I'm the very air you need to breathe."
Once the cherished daughter of a respected Gamma, Olivia watched her world collapse overnight.
With her father accused of treason, she was stripped of everything: her rank, her dignity, and the life she once knew. She was stripped down to an Omega, forced to serve the very people who had once looked up to her.
She thought that was rock bottom. But fate had other plans.
At the mating ceremony, the impossible happened. Olivia didn't just have one mate-she had three. And not just any three-Lennox, Louis, and Levi-the Alpha's triplet heirs. The very men who had made her life a nightmare.
Trapped in a bond they resented, she endured their scorn and humiliation. Right before her eyes, they paraded their lover Anita, reminding Olivia at every turn that she would never be their choice.
But fate wasn't finished. As secrets unraveled and truths emerged, the three Alphas began to see Olivia in a new light.
Except now, it didn't matter.
Because Olivia had stopped bending. And the ones who broke her? They were about to live with every single consequence.
