Trapped Between the two Alphas: The rejected mate

"Let go of me! I'd rather die than ever go back to you!" I scream, trying to free my hand from Lucian's iron grip. His arms move quickly, circling my waist and pulling me flush against him. His breath is hot against my neck, and his teeth hover dangerously close to my skin.

"You will be mine, Elara," he growls, his voice dripping with possession. "No one else can have you. You belong to me, and I'll make sure of it."

Panic surges through me as his hold tightens, and I feel the sting of his teeth brushing my skin. But just as he leans closer to mark me, a cold, commanding voice cuts through the tension.

"Let her go... or I'll make you regret ever touching her."

Lucian freezes. Slowly, he turns, his grip on me loosening but not releasing. Standing a few feet away is Damien, his piercing gaze like ice and his tone brimming with lethal promise.

Lucian sneers. "You're playing a dangerous game, Damien."

Damien steps forward, calm yet menacing. "And you've already lost."

**

Elara's world crumbles when Alpha Lucian chooses her half-sister, Liora, over her, casting her out and reducing her to a shadow of herself. Betrayed, humiliated, and framed for a crime she didn't commit, she loses everything, including the child she carried. Left with no choice, she flees the life that has destroyed her.

But her escape takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Damien, her true mate and Lucian's fiercest rival. Where Lucian broke her, Damien offers strength. Where Lucian controlled her, Damien vows to protect her.

Now, Lucian wants her back, convinced she's still his. But Damien won't stand aside. As two powerful Alphas clash, Elara must find her voice, her strength, and decide her own fate. Will she be a pawn in their battle, or will she rise above and claim her own destiny?.
