I needed a fake boyfriend. He needed revenge. Neither of us expected a baby.

Becoming CEO was my victory—until my family handed me over to a greedy businessman.
But clearly, I have my own “Romeo” plan—Alex, the quiet janitor with sculpted abs—the perfect fake boyfriend.
Safe… Simple… A perfect lie.
Until the elevator lost power.
Until he pressed my back against steel, his breath scorching my ear. “Mate.”
Kiss…Touch…A carefully laid trap.
I thought our game turned into something real.
Until the cold truth hit me: To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage.
So I tore up our contract and carved him out of my life.
Alex
I had a plan.
Step one: infiltrate her empire.
Step two: use her company for my revenge.
Then she bit my lip, and the taste of blood ignited my fangs.
Her fury was sweeter than any crown. Her breathless gasps turned me into something feral.
I could’ve claimed her, kept her—until I saw the enemy waiting outside.
Leaving wasn’t a choice. It was the only way to rip them apart before they tore her to pieces.
Reclaiming my throne? That was just a distraction.
Now she builds walls between us, but the cracks bleed truth:
The way her fingers shield her stomach in boardrooms.
My wolf is howling.
She’s hiding the one thing I was never meant to lose.
