His Defiant Wolfless Mate's Secret Awakening

I thought being mated to the powerful Alpha Kaleb was a miracle for a wolfless girl like me.

Until I accidentally heard his true thoughts through our fractured mate bond.

He told his Beta that marrying me was just a tactic to make his childhood sweetheart, Cynthia, jealous. To him, I was nothing but a compliant placeholder.

He publicly praised Cynthia at the pack banquet, gifting her the luxury scarf I thought was meant for me.

When his sister caused a severe car crash, his family demanded I use my personal trust fund to illegally pay off the human victim.

When I refused to be their ATM, Kaleb cornered me in a public parking lot.

With Cynthia standing right beside him, he screamed that I was a burden and loudly wished I was more like her.

Later that night, drunk and reeking of Cynthia's perfume, he broke into my apartment to force a pup on me just to secure his Alpha bloodline.

For four years, I endured his coldness and his family's abuse, believing my lack of a wolf made me unworthy of love.

I never understood how my Alpha could treat a spilled coffee stain on his mistress's dress with more tenderness than my bleeding heart.

But I am not just a weak, wolfless Luna. I am Dr. Alexa Gibson, a top-tier scientist with my own empire.

Smashing a glass lamp over his arm to break his grip, I looked into his shocked eyes.

"I, Alexa Gibson, am ready to accept your rejection."

Rolling my suitcase out the door, I decided it was time to reclaim my true life.
