My Aged Romance

Fate bound me to my father’s best friend.

He was forty-five. Feared. An Alpha King.

I was eighteen — and obedient.

Seventeen years later, on my birthday, he rejected me without mercy.

Not for betrayal.

Not for treason.

But for aging.

Now I fight to protect the son he never wanted — in a world that punishes discarded women.

This is not a love story.

This is what happens after fate lies.
