The post went live at 8:00 PM, announcing my engagement to Ava Green, the woman I' d chased for three years. My heart was full; our future, a perfect blueprint, finally felt real. Then, her phone rang. It was Ben Carter, her childhood friend, and the way she fled to the balcony, her face pale, sent a jolt of dread through me. She returned to tell me Ben' s grandmother was dying and had one last wish: to see him settled with a fiancée. He wanted Ava, my fiancée, to pretend to be his for a few days to grant a dying woman peace. "A small lie?" I scoffed. We were getting married in less than two months, and she was willing to fly across the country to play house with her ex-crush. My carefully constructed world crumbled as she packed, ignoring my pleas, placing my brand-new engagement ring on the nightstand. She walked out, leaving me in a deafening silence. As I stared at the ring, a white-hot rage surged through me. Three years, my devotion, all thrown away for a lie. She chose him, manipulated by his family drama. This wasn' t just about her; it was about proving something. What if I showed her a man who was truly settled, with a fiancée? I picked up my phone, scrolled to a name I hadn't thought of in years, and made a call. "Chloe," I said, my voice strange. "Are you busy on October 8th? Do you want to get married?"

Introduction

The post went live at 8:00 PM, announcing my engagement to Ava Green, the woman I' d chased for three years.

My heart was full; our future, a perfect blueprint, finally felt real.

Then, her phone rang.

It was Ben Carter, her childhood friend, and the way she fled to the balcony, her face pale, sent a jolt of dread through me.

She returned to tell me Ben' s grandmother was dying and had one last wish: to see him settled with a fiancée.

He wanted Ava, my fiancée, to pretend to be his for a few days to grant a dying woman peace.

"A small lie?" I scoffed.

We were getting married in less than two months, and she was willing to fly across the country to play house with her ex-crush.

My carefully constructed world crumbled as she packed, ignoring my pleas, placing my brand-new engagement ring on the nightstand.

She walked out, leaving me in a deafening silence.

As I stared at the ring, a white-hot rage surged through me.

Three years, my devotion, all thrown away for a lie.

She chose him, manipulated by his family drama.

This wasn' t just about her; it was about proving something.

What if I showed her a man who was truly settled, with a fiancée?

I picked up my phone, scrolled to a name I hadn't thought of in years, and made a call.

"Chloe," I said, my voice strange.

"Are you busy on October 8th? Do you want to get married?"

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?
