"You're adorable if you think you'll win against me, love," he circled me, stepping forward with a devilish grin on his lush lips. I glare back, sidestepping his advance. "I've never lost a fight." He scoffed. "I'm an alpha." I blinked. "So am I." ********** Alphas have always been men, it wasn't a law, no. It wasn't even a recorded tradition.... it was an unspoken rule.... and some might say; common sense. Because women are weak, because women can't lead. Because what could be worse than a pack run by a broken little girl? Wrong. Sexy. Motivated. Powerful. Merciless. She would kill you without blinking and now... she was absolutely deadly. ********** Gorgeous. Rich. Confident. Powerful. And on top of that, he wanted the respect owed to him. But he was the meager second choice, the understudy, the back up plan. He wasn't supposed to be here.... so now he was a puppet. But sooner or later, the strings will snap. ********** After years of enmity two of the world's largest packs seek alliance. Not because they want to and not because they need to, but because they're looking for an excuse to destroy the each other. Feu and Lupo Casa. Valerie Dumas and Kylian Garcia. A fight for dominance. A fight for respect. A fight between love.

Twelve men in white masks chanting words that didn't belong to this earth. They thought I was dead. They were wrong. I moved at the last second. Broke their dagger. Tore the balance between worlds.

Carry my name like it deserves. I don't have a choice. The cult that tried to sacrifice me is still looking. And Aldrin's family is surrounded by enemies waiting for him to fall.

Trapped in a fairytale where the glass slipper no longer fits, a simple woman from the modern world wakes up to find herself inhabiting the body of a forgotten side character named Sierra Castillo. Her new world is luxurious, beautiful, and utterly lethal. The grand romance she once dismissed as childish now unravels into a treacherous web of secrets, forbidden desires, and political intrigue. As alliances crumble and betrayals come to light, Sierra discovers that the real story is far darker, far more complicated, and infinitely more dangerous than any book could ever reveal. Survival means navigating a court where every smile hides a lie, and every whispered promise could be a death sentence - especially when her own heart, and the fate of her future, hang in the balance.
