Seraphina Moon, an orphan desperate for a family of her own, thought her last chance at motherhood was finally within reach. But then, bam! One accidental pregnancy later, and she’s not just expecting, she’s carrying the heir of Kaelen Thorne. And Kaelen? He’s not your average dad-to-be. He’s an enigmatic billionaire Alpha werewolf, and this baby is everything to him—like, the key to his entire future and his pack’s. To protect her child, Seraphina gets dragged into Kaelen’s dangerous world, forced to play the part of his adoring Luna in a high-stakes game of shifter politics that could easily get her killed. The wildest part? This whole charade, this fake relationship, starts to feel disturbingly real. There’s an undeniable, raw fire sparking between them, and beneath Kaelen’s harsh, dominant Alpha exterior, Seraphina glimpses a man who’s fiercely protective and surprisingly tender. But there’s a massive problem: he’s a shifter, she’s human, and he’s destined for a true werewolf mate, meaning their intense connection seems doomed from the start. With assassins on her trail, Kaelen’s scornful ex-mates making her life hell, and the shadows of her own past creeping in, Seraphina is caught. Can she navigate this treacherous game and guard her heart from the Alpha who commands her body’s surrender, or will the very man she’s forced to deceive be the only one who can save her? And could he ever truly choose a human, even if she’s carrying his precious heir?

There are times—far too many times—when you feel that uncontrollable urge to kill someone. For Kaya, this… this was exactly that moment. “Repeat what you just said?” She’d seen hell on the battlefield—second-in-command of a military unit, dodging bullets, dragging traitors by the collar, and coming out alive with grit under her nails. But nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared her for the sight of her spineless husband flirting with her own sister. Right in front of her. “I could never marry a barbarian like you. The one I... I like is Meera—” Blah blah. The same pitiful nonsense again. You think—what could possibly be worse than this? And then, right on cue, your idiotic sister chimes in, completely serious, “I just poisoned you.” Wow. BANG. Before anyone could even react, Meera collapsed. Dead. Her so-called husband gasped like a fish dragged out of water. “Y-you…” He dropped to his knees, staring at Kaya like he was seeing a monster rise from the dark. “You killed your sister?! How could y—?” BANG. Second bullet. Same spot. He dropped like a puppet with its strings cut. Silence. ... Just when Kaya thought her story had finally reached its bitter end, the universe—no, god himself—decided to throw in one last, ridiculous twist. “Wife… wife, didn’t you say you were gonna eat me? Why’d you stop?” A snake beast, ridiculously charming and glowing like some immortal fantasy, clung to her, eyes gleaming. Another voice interrupted. “Shut up! My wife wants to cuddle me now—” A sparrow beastman leapt into her arms, like that made any sense. “Hic… wife, don’t you want me anymore?” A panda-like beastman sat beside her, huge, sniffly, and wronged like a child abandoned at a festival. Sitting in the middle of all this, Kaya was absolutely dumbfounded. ‘When the hell did all of this even start?’
