My Mate Betrayed Me, So I Married the Alpha King - A Dark Rejected Mate Romance of Betrayal, Revenge, and the Rise of a Powerful Luna #997700

Lydia Chambers believes her mate bond is the one thing in her life that cannot be taken from her. For years, she builds her future around Dillon Myers, the wolf destined to stand beside her. Then, before the entire pack, he rejects her and chooses another woman for a powerful political alliance.
Humiliated and furious, Lydia refuses to remain the discarded mate everyone expects her to become. She leaves Silvercrest carrying secrets that soon place her in the path of Orion Baker, the feared Alpha King of Blackridge, whose territory is facing a growing threat from enemies determined to turn rival packs against one another.
Orion has every reason to distrust Lydia. She arrives from an opposing territory with restricted records, a troubled mate bond, and information that could expose dangerous secrets within his own court. Yet the more they investigate together, the harder it becomes to deny the attraction between them.
A political marriage offers Lydia protection and gives Orion a strategic advantage, but neither expects the arrangement to become personal.
There is one problem: Lydia's rejected mate bond has not disappeared.
As forged evidence, pack rivalries, hidden alliances, and an ancient conspiracy place both territories at risk, Lydia must learn that being a fated mate does not mean surrendering the right to choose. Orion must decide whether protecting the woman he wants means standing beside her or controlling her.
