The Lycan King's Hidden Mate: When the White Wolf Rises

ADRIANA

I stared at the text on my phone, reading it for the third time, a smile tugging at my lips.

‘Come over tonight. I have something special planned for your birthday. Love you.’

Landon is the best thing I never thought could happen to me. We’ve been together for five years and he still found ways to make me feel like I mattered. In a world where my own family forgot my birthday—really, they didn’t give a shit what happened to me—Landon was my light. He saw me.

I touched the promise ring on my finger. He’d given it to me last year on this very day. A simple silver band with our initials engraved inside. “A promise,” he’d said, “of forever.”

I’m finally eighteen. I’ve been waiting for this since I turned fifteen. The day I would finally shift, finally get my wolf. Then maybe things would be different and I’d finally be whole.

I let myself in with the spare key he’d given me, ready to surprise him.

The smile slipped off my face when I heard a weird noise as soon as the door opened.

“Fuck, i’m so close, harder baby.” Lisa’s moan rang in my ears as Landon pressed her down against him, grasping her waist and pushing her closer to his groin. He rasped out a curse and kissed her hard, moaning into her mouth.

Five years disappeared without a trace.

My gaze settled on Landon’s wrist, where the bracelet I had crafted for him on our third anniversary remained attached to his hand, the same hand now gripping my sister’s butt, bringing her closer to his groin.

I couldn’t look away, no matter how hard I tried. When his eyes finally opened and his sex crazed gaze met mine.

He didn’t stop.

“Landon?” My voice cracked.

Lisa saw me then. And instead of stopping, instead of showing even a shred of shame, she smiled and kissed him deeper, her eyes locked on mine the entire time.

“Adriana—” Landon started, but Lisa cut him off.

“Oh, don’t stop on her account.” She pulled back slightly, that wicked smile still on her face. “Did you really think he
