The Alpha Hidden Mate

Ariel tragically lost her parents in a car accident when she was just 10 years old. Ever since, Ariel and her sister Esther have been inseparable. However, they faced constant bullying from within their pack. Some pack members believed that Ariel and Esther were cursed, believing their presence was responsible for their parents' demise. In times of harassment, Ariel fiercely protected her sister, putting herself in harm's way. Esther decided to leave school early to support Ariel, and at 24, she found her soulmate named Cole Gray. After their wedding, Ariel moved into Cole's home alongside Esther. With Esther's help, Ariel was able to complete her education, which she deeply appreciated. Yet, Ariel's mere presence caused conflicts between Esther and Cole. Unfortunately, due to werewolf laws, Ariel couldn't leave Esther until she found a suitable mate. Doing so would result in her being exiled as a rogue, causing shame upon Esther and their pack. To avoid this, Ariel needed to find someone to "mark" as her mate, even if it wasn't her true love. This would allow her to separate from Esther and Cole's home. However, things took a dramatic turn when Cole planned to send Ariel to the Alpha King, adding to Ariel's fear. She heard unsettling rumors about the Alpha King - a mysterious and ruthless figure who even killed his own mate. Determined to navigate this situation, Ariel decided to pretend and move in with Xavier, who unbeknownst to her, was none other than the Alpha King, embarking on a complicated journey within the royal hierarchy of the werewolf world.
