Unwanteddaughter Stories

​She grows up poor. Quiet. Unclaimed. ​Her mother died early, leaving behind nothing but the knowledge of how to stay small. Her father existed only as a hollow space in their lives. An absence that ate their food and sat between them at night. In their world of thin walls and counted coins, silence was the only thing that kept them alive. ​On her nineteenth birthday, a door finally opens. ​Her father takes her from a life of borrowed rooms and empty cupboards into a house built on marble and restraint. It is a place of locked wings and rules spoken without warmth. She is not a daughter here; she is the proof of a past mistake. She is the child who should have stayed invisible. ​The woman who runs the house sees her too clearly. She meets the girl's presence with a resentment that cuts deeper than cruelty, a silence sharper than any scream. Every cold glance is a reminder: you are what he wants to forget. ​This story is about what happens when poverty teaches you how to disappear. It is about the heavy, aching truth of living in a world where fairness was never promised. ​And it is about the most dangerous thing of all: loving someone you know you cannot have. Not loudly. Not bravely. But carefully. In the tiny, jagged pieces you keep hidden beneath your skin. ​If you have ever learned to survive by staying small, this story sees you. ​If you have ever loved from a distance because wanting more felt like a threat, this story understands you. ​The Mistress's Daughter is a dark, quiet novel about the cost of being born where you were never meant to belong and the strength it takes to exist anyway.

What Nerriea doesn't know is that this man is Caelum, a ruthless mafia boss feared by many. And from that moment on, her life is no longer her own. Entangled in his world of shadows, secrets, and sins, Nerriea will learn that saving him comes with a price-one she can't escape, no matter how hard she tries.

He was born in silence. Raised in shadows. Crowned in blood. Alpha Kael of the ShadowFang Pack is feared by all who whisper his name. Scarred from throat to chest by a battle no one dares speak of, and cursed with a voice he never had, Kael has ruled his pack through strength, fear, and silence. His gaze alone has ended lives. His presence can freeze a room. He does not speak-he doesn't need to. But even power has its limits. No woman has ever accepted him as her mate. Not one. They came for his wealth, for his title, for the hope of power-but the moment they saw the scar... the silence... they turned their backs. They feared bearing children like him. They feared the unknown. And Kael, the strongest Alpha in the region, was left with nothing but rejection, one after another. He stopped hoping. He stopped trying. He let the cold take what was left of him. Then came Isla. The unwanted daughter of another Alpha. Cast aside. Sold to the monster no one else would touch. She was meant to be a sacrifice, a temporary offering-fragile, quiet-looking, easily broken. No one believed she would last a day in Kael's world. They were wrong. Isla is stubborn, defiant... and endlessly talkative. She speaks to the wind, to the walls, to the flowers in the gardens he never visits. She hums while she works, asks questions no one answers, and smiles as if the world hasn't spent its whole life trying to crush her. Where others saw a curse, she sees a man who's been silenced for far too long. Where others turned away, she steps closer. He doesn't scare her. And that terrifies him. This is not a fairy tale. This is the story of a mute Alpha abandoned by fate and the girl who was never supposed to be chosen... but who might be the only one strong enough to hear the heart he never knew he still had. He is silence. She is sound. And when their worlds collide-nothing will ever be the same.
