Victoria Lancaster was born into privilege - the brilliant, rebellious daughter of one of the most powerful families in the world. But when a devastating betrayal leaves her family's empire in ruins and her father disgraced, Victoria is forced into exile, presumed dead by the very people who destroyed her. Years later, she returns from the ashes, unrecognizable and unstoppable. No longer the naïve heiress, Victoria has transformed into a cunning, strategic force, determined to reclaim her legacy and uncover the truth behind her family's downfall.

Chapter 1 The Fall

Victoria Lancaster's world was one of glittering banquets, tailored dresses, and whispered envy. The only daughter of Richard Lancaster - a billionaire whose empire stretched from luxury hotels to oil pipelines - she had grown up in a life most could only dream of.

Her father, cold and commanding, wasn't just a businessman; he was a king in his own domain. And Victoria was his princess - or rather, his chess piece, meant to marry a future CEO and strengthen the Lancaster legacy.

At sixteen, though, Victoria wasn't thinking about mergers and acquisitions. She was thinking about Daniel Hayes - the gardener's son. Daniel wasn't like the other boys at her prep school. He didn't care about trust funds or designer labels. He loved the way she laughed, not the way her last name sparkled.

Their love was inevitable, reckless, and doomed.

When Victoria found out she was pregnant, she wasn't scared - she was hopeful. She imagined a small, simple life where she wasn't a Lancaster, where she and Daniel could build something real.

Her father's reaction shattered that dream.

"You're no daughter of mine." His voice was ice. The family lawyer was already in the corner, drafting a disownment. "Get out. Don't come back."

Her mother, Evelyn - delicate, silent, and always obedient - looked away, tears pooling but never falling. She didn't speak up. She never did.

Victoria left with nothing but a duffel bag and a promise from Daniel: We'll figure it out.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
