The Mate They Regretted

She lost her voice in an “accident” that was never an accident.

Her parents died in a crash that was carefully arranged.

And three years of her life were spent loving a man who treated her like a disposable piece in his family’s underworld pack war.

Aveline thought Evander—heir to a powerful Alpha mafia pack—was her salvation. He paid her mother’s medical bills, erased threats before they reached her, and built her a world where safety slowly became control.

Until she hears him laugh behind closed doors.

Her suffering was strategy.

Her silence was containment.
