Rosel.Ly

She rejected her fated mate to protect her pack. He vowed to claim her, no matter the cost.

For seven years, Princess Elsher has lived a lie—disguised as her late father and secretly ruling the strongest Starry Pack to protect it from vampire threats and political wolves. She never expected to meet her fated mate. And she certainly never expected him to be Verlice Mintz, the ruthless Alpha King of the second-strongest Red Moon Pack.

Terrified that his proximity and scrutiny will expose her secrets and destroy her pack, Elsher rejects their bond, shattering both their hearts.

But Verlice isn't a man who accepts rejection. He's a king who takes what he wants, and he's determined to uncover why his destined Luna would spurn their fate. As lies unravel and enemies close in, can Elsher shield her pack from the truth? Or will the very mate she cast aside become her greatest salvation or her ultimate ruin?

“Maverick, you never loved me all these years, did you?”

“Be good. You're just a substitute.”

Never did Valencia expect that what her crush thought of her was a substitute for another woman. 

And never did she expect that the asshole would break the news to her after she gave herself to him a night before their wedding. 

Unable to take in the heartbreak, Valencia fled on her wedding day. 

Fast-forward to five years later; Valencia is now the anonymous owner of a company and the diligent mother of smart-ass quadruplets who think mom is the best and shouldn't be stressed.

And the most important thing: Mom needs a capable boyfriend. 

Someone dared to attack their mommy? Mom will face-slap, and if Mom can't, Quadruplet will!  

A certain shameless man: ‘Darling, relax; I'll properly beat them up for you. After the beating, what do you think we should have next—a triplet or a sextuplet?’

Valencia: “….”

Smartass quadruplets: Didn't you consider Mom to be a substitute? Scram. We don't recognize you!
