The Twin Alphas' Forsaken Queen
"I wish you had died instead." That single, drunken curse from her Alpha father after her sister, Lyra, drowned in the river, sentenced Elara Vane to a lifetime of consuming guilt. Forever branded the cursed survivor, she spent a decade living in the shadows, waiting for destiny to claim her.
Elara thought salvation arrived when she discovered her destined mate was Alpha Kaelen Thorne, the feared King of the strongest pack. Instead, she found a jailer. Kaelen only saw the taint of the rogue and the shadow of the curse, accepting the bond only to hold her captive in servitude. For two years, Elara endured mockery and abuse, clinging to the desperate, naive hope that her loyalty would somehow earn his love and validation.
All that fragile hope was obliterated the day Kaelen delivered the final, crushing rejection: "You can leave now. I love her."
The woman in his arms was Lyra - the twin sister who was supposed to be dead. Lyra had returned, not as a victim, but as a master manipulator who systematically framed Elara, twisting Kaelen into her executioner. Condemned, poisoned, and finally thrown from a cliff, Elara's life ended believing she was both unloved and entirely cursed.
But the river didn't claim her a second time. Instead, her broken body was found by Rhys and Ronan, two deadly, territory-less Twin Alpha Lycans. They recognized the dormant power in her soul and, impossibly, discovered they shared a true mate bond with her. Protected, fiercely loved, and reborn with her inner Alpha awakening, Elara is no longer the servant they abused. She is the Queen they forged in fire.
Elara Vane is coming back to collect her debt, will Alpha Kaelen ever realize he destroyed his true love for a lie?
When Elara returns with two Kings at her side, will the packs choose to fight her, or kneel before the Mate They Threw Away?
And when the dust settles, how will she choose between the twin flames who gave her a second chance at destiny?
