“I’m your mate,” he declared, his voice filled with fervent intent, difficult to grasp amidst the overwhelming pleasure. “Yeah,” I managed to reply, my mind clouded by ecstasy. His presence enveloped me entirely, our bodies now intimately intertwined. My eyes widened as the heat of his manhood grazed the entrance of my folds, anticipation building maddeningly within me.

It hurt—a searing pain coursing through me.“You’re a virgin,” he stated, his tone certain and unyielding. Cercei's eighteen years of existence were marred by excruciating pain and suffering solely because of her uncanny resemblance to her stepsister Vienna, the Alpha King Remus 's daughter. Cercei found it unbearably cruel that she possessed the same beauty as Vienna, which made Vienna feel insecure, leading her to subject Cercei to relentless torment. Despite the numerous hardships, Cercei received love and care from her parents, and she remained humble. Although their pack Alpha never respected them and treated them as mere servants, her family found happiness. However, everything changed dramatically on her eighteenth birthday when their Alpha ruthlessly killed her father without a valid reason and mercilessly crushed his heart underfoot after digging it out.

This chance encounter abruptly changed her life, unraveling all the secrets and lies her mother, Emila, had carefully hidden for eighteen years. The revelation shattered Cercei's belief in her perfect family, leaving her to question everything she had ever known in the love triangle.
