When Charlotte Whitfield found out her boyfriend of five years, Jasper Sinclair, had secretly married another woman, she didn't cry or beg. She walked straight into a bar, picked the one man Jasper couldn't stand—his older half-brother, Alexander Sinclair—and planted herself on his lap. She thought it was just one reckless night of revenge. She thought the cheater would never know what he'd really lost. Because the girl Jasper dismissed as "poor and useless"? She's actually the sole heir to the Whitfield Group—a billion-dollar empire. A tech genius. A top-tier designer. The queen of finance… And that cold, ruthless CEO everyone's terrified of—the one rumored to have even turned on his own father? Alexander Sinclair is now gently cradling her baby bump, murmuring with a low laugh in her ear: "I know you're carrying my child. So… when are you going to marry me?"

Mate. Something every werewolf looks forward to. The thought of finding someone tailor-made by the moon goddess for you alone in the entire world is exhilarating. At least it was for me. For a while. I waited for what felt like forever. Everyone finds their mate once they turn eighteen. I'll be eighteen in a few days. I wanted to keep myself for my mate. To be pure but who was I kidding. Nobody could have prepared me for who my mate was. Not even my adoptive parents. The alpha's son. Maverick Tatum. The same boy I used to think of as a scum after watching how he treats the female in the pack. That same boy was my mate. I'm Ares Powers. My parents said they found me in the woods with my name engraved in the wood of the beads I was wearing. They have tried taking off the beads multiple times when I was growing up. They couldn't. They took me to the pack seer and he said only my true mate can help me remove the beads and unlock my wolf's highest potential. I wonder why my birth parents would want to keep my powers locked. The day I found out Maverick was my mate was the same day he rejected me. In front of everyone. The next day, I was banished from the pack. I swore to get my revenge then. But until then, I have to find a way to unlock my wolf's full potential because my mate turned out to be unreliable.
