Claimed by the Secret Alpha Billionaire

Excerpt:

Lucien’s lips lightly traced the length of my neck as his big hands found my slender waist and settled there.

I inhaled sharply, my breath uneven as he leaned in, his breath fanning the sensitive skin of my ear.

“Emerald,” his low husky voice drawled.

“Mmmm,” I responded absentmindedly.

“How many times do you think about me in a day?” he demanded breathlessly.

“Seventy times seven.“ My lashes fluttered.

Though I didn’t know what had come over me, I had managed to give him a satisfactory answer.

“Hahaha…” His low chuckles rang in my ear, raising the hairs on my arms. “That’s a lot for a woman who doesn’t welcome me into her bed.”

After years of helping her boyfriend build his empire, Emerald Hugo expected a proposal. Instead, she was publicly replaced.

On the night she thought would change her life, her boyfriend announced his engagement to her best friend before a live audience. Worse, the pair arrived armed with fabricated evidence that painted Emerald as a manipulative, immoral woman, leaving her unable to expose their affair.

Humiliated, abandoned, and branded a villain overnight, Emerald vows she will never trust anyone again. Then Michael King enters her life.

Wealthy. Influential. Untouchable.

The mysterious businessman appears whenever she needs help, protects her when no one else will, and slowly becomes the only person she can rely on.

But the coincidences that bring them together are no coincidence at all. Michael has been quietly arranging his place in Emerald's life from the very beginning.

But Michael King is hiding a secret far more dangerous than Emerald could ever imagine.

He is not human.

In a world where werewolves rule from the shadows, an Alpha's obsession is more dangerous than hatred and far harder to escape than love.

When Emerald finally discovers how deeply Michael has woven himself into her life, she is forced to question every memory, every choice, and every feeling she thought belonged to her alone.

Did she fall in love with Michael, or did he build her world so she had nowhere else to fall?
