After My Alpha Betrayed Me, I Became Lycan Queen Novel Cover

After My Alpha Betrayed Me, I Became Lycan Queen

The morning light filtered through the heavy curtains of the Alpha's private suite as I balanced the small wooden box in my hands. Inside lay a traditional pre-ceremony gift—a hand-carved wolf figurine meant to symbolize our union. My fingers traced the intricate details one last time before I knocked on the door. "Enter," came Austin's deep voice from within. I pushed open the door, my heart racing with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. This was supposed to be our moment—the calm before the storm of the Mate Ceremony that would bind us together forever. But the sight that greeted me froze my blood. Jolene Gonzalez stood behind Austin, her fingers deftly adjusting his tie. Her body pressed against his back in a gesture too intimate for mere pack members. The Alpha's suite—his private sanctuary—had been violated by her presence.

Chapter 4

The invitation to the Lycan Ball arrived on a scroll of pure gold, the royal emblem of the Lycan Kingdom embossed at the top. I traced the intricate design with my fingertip, still unable to believe how much my life had changed in just a few months.

"Are you ready?" Damian's voice came from the doorway of my chambers.

I turned to find him leaning against the frame, his powerful presence filling the room. "As ready as I'll ever be to face the entire werewolf aristocracy."

He crossed the room in three long strides, stopping before me. "You'll outshine them all."

The dress he'd selected arrived moments later—a creation of liquid gold and midnight black that seemed to capture the essence of our alliance. As I emerged from the dressing room, Damian's eyes darkened with something primal and possessive.

"Perfect," he murmured, extending his arm. "A Queen at last."

The Lycan Ball was held in the ancient Grand Hall, where crystal chandeliers cast prismatic light across marble floors that had witnessed centuries of werewolf history. As we entered, the crowd fell silent, all eyes turning to us.

"May I present Daisy Allen," Damian announced, his voice carrying to every corner of the room. "My ally and the future of our kind."

The introduction was deliberate—not as my mate, but as something equally powerful. A statement.

As the orchestra began to play, Damian led me to the center of the floor. "The first dance belongs to us," he said, pulling me close.

His hand settled at the small of my back, warm and commanding. As we moved together, something electric sparked between us. His eyes flashed gold, his wolf rising close to the surface.

"Everyone can smell it," he whispered against my ear. "Our scent is merging."

I inhaled deeply, catching the intoxicating blend of pine and winter that was uniquely Damian, now intertwined with my own floral notes. The Mate Scent—undeniable and powerful.

From the corner of my eye, I spotted movement at the entrance. Austin stood frozen in the doorway, his face contorted with rage as he took in the scene before him.

"Let me handle this," Damian murmured, following my gaze.

He didn't even need to move. Just the projection of his aura—a crushing wave of power—sent Austin staggering backward. The Alpha of Silver Claw, reduced to nothing more than a trespasser at the threshold of true power.

"Are you certain?" Jolene's voice trembled as she clutched the pregnancy test in her hand. "It could be wrong."

The pack doctor—one of my carefully placed spies—shook her head. "The bloodwork confirms it. You're experiencing a false pregnancy, Gamma Gonzalez. It's not uncommon in wolves who desperately want to conceive but cannot."

I watched through the hidden camera I'd planted in the medical wing, my heart cold as I observed Jolene's face crumple.

"But I have symptoms," she insisted. "Morning sickness, cravings—"

"Hysterical pregnancy," the doctor explained gently. "Your wolf is so desperate for a bond that doesn't exist that she's creating physical manifestations."

Jolene's eyes hardened suddenly. "I need you to lie for me."

---

Two days later, Austin stood before the Council of Alphas, his chest puffed with pride.

"I've called this emergency meeting to announce joyous news," he declared. "The Silver Claw Pack will soon welcome a new heir. My mate, Jolene, carries our future."

The announcement sent shockwaves through the assembly. An heir would secure Austin's position despite his recent failures.

I sat in the shadows at the back of the room, Damian beside me. His hand found mine under the table.

"Your move," he whispered.

---

The medical file landed on Austin's desk with a soft thud—sent directly to his private email with no message attached. Inside were detailed records proving Jolene's deception.

I watched from the garden below as Austin stormed through the pack house, the papers clutched in his fist. He found Jolene in their bedroom, still basking in the glow of her announcement to the Council.

"You lied to me!" he roared, throwing the file at her feet. "There is no heir!"

Jolene's face drained of color. "Austin, please—I just needed you to mark me. I needed to feel the bond."

"There is no bond!" His voice cracked with fury. "There never was!"

The illusion of their love shattered completely as Austin turned his back on her. "This changes everything."

He stormed out, leaving Jolene collapsed on the floor, her screams echoing through the empty halls of what was once my home.

I slipped away into the night, a cold smile playing at my lips. The truth had finally caught up with them both.

After Raising His Secret Pup, I Rejected My Mate Novel Cover

I recently joined an online parenting group for werewolf mothers and came across a post that caught my attention: “Hello everyone, I’m the other woman, and I’ve had a pup with my mate. I don’t want to raise him. What should I do?” A response quickly followed: “If his Luna hasn’t had any pups, have your mate claim the pup was found in a rogue orphanage and let her raise him.” “You two can enjoy your lives together freely for a few years. Once the pup grows up, he can reject her.” “In the end, you’ll be the one who comes out on top.” My frown deepened as I read this, my fingers tightening around my phone. That evening, my mate Porter, a Delta of the Silver Moon Pack, returned home from his duties. I was just about to share the news of my pregnancy when he spoke up first, his voice tense. “We’ve been mated all these years without pups. Maybe we should consider adopting one?” My heart skipped a beat, the memory of the post flashing in my mind. I hesitated before responding, wanting to probe further. “Why don’t we give it another try?

The afternoon sun streamed through the windows of Moonlight Werewolf Preschool as I hurried down the hallway, my heart already racing from the urgent phone call. River was in trouble again. My hands trembled as I pushed open the door to the principal's office, and the scene that greeted me made my wolf stir restlessly beneath my skin for the first time in months. River sat hunched in a small chair, his dark hair tousled and a streak of dried blood under his nose. His little hands were clenched into fists, and even from across the room, I could sense his wolf pacing anxiously—far too strong for a five-year-old. But it was the sight of the woman sitting regally in the chair beside him that made my blood run cold. Mercy Cruz looked exactly as I remembered—perfectly styled blonde hair, designer clothes that screamed Luna status, and that same cruel smile that had haunted my college years. She sat with her back straight, one manicured hand resting protectively on her son Marco's shoulder. The boy was sniffling dramatically, though I noticed he kept peeking at River with satisfied malice. "Ms.

"Allowing you to join the pack is already unfair to Ariella," he said, his voice heavy with condescension. "But if you bring your dowry, we won’t mistreat you." They were so deeply entangled in their affection for each other that I felt like an intruder in their world. I decided to let them have their happiness—and I would take my substantial inheritance with me when I left. ============================== Today, the Silva family came to formalize the mark ceremony.

The Red River Pack territory stretched before me like a painting—miles of pristine coastline and lush forest. But as I stepped off the helicopter onto the private dock, something felt wrong. Tristan stood waiting, his sandy brown hair ruffled by the sea breeze, but his eyes darted everywhere except to me. "You're late," he said, not bothering with a greeting. I straightened my spine, channeling the dignity of the Moonveil Pack princess I was. "We're exactly on time, Alpha Henry." His jaw tightened at my formal tone. "Let's just get this over with." The territory inspection was supposed to be our chance to finally connect. After months of delays and excuses about why we couldn't complete our Marking Ceremony, I'd hoped today would change things. Instead, Tristan seemed determined to make it as uncomfortable as possible. "I thought we'd take the small boat out," he said, gesturing to a sleek speedboat moored at the end of the dock.

The sacred grounds of the Shadowclaw Pack glowed under the waxing moon as I stood at the altar, my white ceremonial gown whispering against the cool night air. My heart hammered against my ribs—not from fear, but from the weight of what this moment meant. The future of both our packs rested on this union. "Are you ready?" Elder Morris asked, his weathered face solemn as he held the ancient binding scroll. I nodded, my fingers instinctively touching my throat where Jake's mark would soon be placed. "I am." The crowd of both Crescent Moon and Shadowclaw wolves fell silent as Jake approached, his Alpha aura rippling through the clearing. He looked every bit the future Alpha in his formal attire, though something in his eyes seemed distant tonight. "By the power of the Moon Goddess," Elder Morris began, "we gather to witness the joining of two bloodlines, two packs, two souls—" A commotion erupted at the edge of the gathering. Gasps and whispers rippled through the crowd as a figure pushed through the assembled wolves. "Stop!" The voice was female, desperate and breathless.
