About

In a world where werewolves thrive on power and prestige, Serena's life is a tangled web of family loyalty, betrayal, and unrequited love. Engaged to Cain, a man she once believed was her salvation, she finds herself trapped in a marriage that quickly reveals its dark underbelly. With a mother’s dying wish and a heart full of hope, she steps into a society that seems to conspire against her, only to discover her husband’s true affections lie elsewhere—most painfully, with her own sister.

When a chance encounter with the enigmatic Maximus Vine shakes the foundations of her despair, Serena feels a flicker of possibility ignite within her. He’s a man of mystery and allure, a figure whose power rivals that of any alpha werewolf, and he sees something in her that she has yet to recognize in herself. Can Serena break free from the ties that bind her, or will she continue to be the pawn in a game dominated by betrayal and neglect? As her world unravels, the question remains: will she choose to remain in the shadows, or will she rise and claim the love she truly deserves?

Neglected By My Husband, Loved by An AlphaCHAPTER 1: My Husband and My Sister

In our social circle, we recognize the existence of werewolves and their success in matters of power, influence, and wealth.

My family wasn't on par with the werewolves. But we were highly respected.

My mother, an only daughter of a rich and famous couple, would have been married off to a much powerful family, if not for her unparalleled business acumen.

Father was the fifth son of what we call “a new money”. With no redeeming qualities, he was married into mother’s family, and carried her surname.

Their union sired two daughters – Shelly, and me.

Shelly, a year older, was ambitious, headstrong, and assertive; never backing off from getting what she wanted.

I, Serena, was a year younger. Described by people as kindhearted, and loyal. Others believed it impressive, but it only made me miserable since I’m often driven to a corner for being timid.

When I turned ten, my mother started to complain about father’s irresponsible choice of acquaintances.

She was getting concerned for our future. Having daughters meant marrying us off, which will lead to usurpation of our assets.
