"You rejected me at midnight. By dawn, I belonged to the King." On New Year's Eve, Maya thought she had it all: a mate who was the future Alpha, and a miracle baby growing in her womb. But as the clock struck twelve, her life shattered. Alpha Greyson didn't just reject her; he publicly humiliated her to propose to her cruel stepsister, branding Maya a "wolfless defect" and banishing her into the deadly Winter Forest. Left to freeze in the blizzard, Maya prays for a quick death. Instead, she finds him. Kaelen. The Lycan King. The most dangerous, lethal, and possessive creature in existence. A man who hasn't felt warmth in a century. Kaelen saves her, not out of pity, but because her scent drives his inner beast into a frenzy. He offers her a deal: He will save her life and her unborn pup, but in return, she must pretend to be his Queen to stop a war. One year later, at the next New Year's Gala, Greyson sees the stunning, powerful woman on the King's arm. He realizes too late that the "defect" he threw away was a rare White Wolf. And the pup she's holding? It has the King's eyes.
