Chapter 1

I'm an orphan. I grew up in the countryside on the edge of the pack territory.

When I turned eighteen, my wealthy biological parents found me.

They said there had been a mix-up at the hospital when I was born, which was why I'd been lost to them for so long.

They brought me home, only to force me to marry a fool.

My mother looked at me with scrutinizing eyes.

"Leo may be a bit different from others, but his family is wealthy, and his father is a Beta in the pack. They won't treat you poorly."

I looked at Leo, who was still drooling and grinning like an idiot, and refused outright.

"Isn't he Vivian's fated mate? Her fiancé? And from what I know, he only became brain-damaged because he got seriously injured by Rogues while saving Vivian. Why isn't she marrying him?"

Vivian, my parents' adopted daughter, instantly turned pale, tears streaming down her face.

My mother grew anxious. "How can Vivian marry a fool?"

My father also said coldly, "Alpha Declan has already set his sights on Vivian. How could a fool like that be worthy of her?"

So that was it. They brought me home just to be a substitute bride.

I laughed coldly. They had no idea—I was already married, and my husband was Declan.

I called Declan directly.

"Hey, I heard you're getting married? How come you didn't tell me?"
