The Substitute Mate

"Remember this, Meena. You are my wife on paper only. The exact second our one-year contract expires... we are getting a divorce."
When her older half-sister suddenly vanishes on her wedding day, 'Meena'—the unwanted, illegitimate child of the family—is ruthlessly forced into a wedding gown. She is ordered to walk down the aisle and marry 'Ray Warintra,' a wildly powerful Alpha and the tyrannical CEO dubbed the 'Ice Prince of the Business World.'
A marriage born of deception and corporate greed leaves Ray despising her 'substitute bride' to the very core. The arrogant Alpha establishes an arsenal of cruel rules designed to push Meena away, drawing a rigid line of absolute indifference between them.
But how long can foolish human pride resist the irrefutable, primal pull of a 'Fated Mate'?
The untouchable Alpha who once swore she would never love anyone slowly transforms into an agonizingly jealous, fiercely territorial protector—ready to detonate her storm pheromones and destroy anyone who dares to breathe near her Omega.
"Take your hands off my wife, right now!"
"In what capacity are you jealous, Khun Ray? If you can't answer that... then stop acting like I belong to you."
When one heart has already surrendered to a secret love, but the other remains imprisoned by paralyzing fear and towering pride... how will a romance that began as a colossal mistake finally end?
