On the night of the full moon—the night I discovered Lucas was my mate—I found him in bed with my best friend. Just the night before, he had slept with me. In her presence, he rejected me without hesitation. Broken and humiliated, I thought things couldn’t get worse—I knew I can’t let my parents find out I was in a relationship with their biggest enemy’s son. With nothing left, I ran. I left my town, my past, and everything I once knew, determined to rebuild my life. When I discovered I was pregnant, I made a vow: I would never look back. Years passed. In a new city, with a new life, I raised my son alone. But I never truly moved on from Lucas—the man who broke me. When my abusive ex-boyfriend tracked me down and threatened everything I had built, I knew I had to protect my son at all costs. I had no one to turn to. Except him. Lucas. He offered me a deal: pretend to be his girlfriend to help him secure a major business deal, and in return, he’d give me the resources I needed to protect myself and my son. He also promised me something else—before the deal ends, he would make me his. I didn’t want to accept. I didn’t want to trust him. But I had no choice. A part of me still belonged to him… but I’ll make sure he doesn’t win me back so easily.
