Rejected by My Alpha, I Became the Lycan King’s Son’s Stepmom

Synopsis

The night my fated mate formally rejects me and casts me out of his pack, I become the Lycan King’s contract mate. With nowhere to go, I find a notice pinned to the board in a tavern on neutral territory. WANTED: A stepmother for a six-year-old pup. Age, appearance, and former pack status do not matter. Patience required. Room, board, and pack protection provided. I have just lost both my mate bond and my pack. The last promise is the only one that matters. Carrying everything I own in a single travel bag, I follow the address on the notice. Only when I arrive do I learn that the wolf who posted it is the Lycan King—the ruler of every pack. Later, my ex-mate looks at me as though he is offering charity. “Had enough of suffering out there, Elara? Admit you were wrong, and I may allow you back into Holloway Pack.” Noah, the Lycan King’s six-year-old pup, immediately plants himself in front of me. “You’re the one who threw Mom out! You’re a bad wolf!” Then the Lycan King pulls me into his arms. The force of his royal aura drains the color from my ex-mate’s face. “She doesn’t need your permission.” “The Omega you abandoned is my chosen mate—and the future Lycan Queen.”
