Rejected Bookish Mate and the Billionaire Lycan King by Lira Flux

I adopted a wolf- and he shifted into my billionaire boss.
Now he’s growling “Mate” over my desk like he owns me.

Finneas Kingsley. Cold. Billionaire. Commanding. He communicates in grunts, never says thank you, and rolls his sleeves to his elbows like he’s trying to ruin my life on purpose.

I’ve been his assistant for two years. Two years of stolen glances through the glass wall of his office. Two years of him watching me when he thinks I’m not looking. Two years of my stupid heart doing backflips every time his jaw twitches because that’s the closest this man gets to a smile.
He knows how I take my coffee before I tell him. Snarls when another man gets too close to my desk.
Looks at me like I’m a problem he can’t solve and doesn’t want to stop solving.
And every single night, he shifts into a wolf and shows up on my porch — and I’ve been telling him everything. Every fantasy. Every confession about him. Every time I said his hands are attractive but his personality is a war crime.
He heard all of it.

Then he shifted into human form, and claimed me.
But before we could mate, his mother intervened. He rejected me. Chose someone else. Said none of it was real.
I disappeared with a secret growing inside me.
Now he’s on my grandmother’s lawn in the rain. On his knees. Not as my boss. Not as the wolf. Just a man begging the woman he destroyed to let him stay.
Two years of bedtime stories and I trained a Lycan King to beg.
He can stay on his knees a little longer.

Rejected Bookish Mate and the Billionaire Lycan King is a spicy, angsty rejected mate romcom with a groveling hero, featuring a billionaire Lycan King who spent two years shifting into a stray dog on his mate’s porch, and the bookish shelter girl who read him her filthiest romance novels every night without knowing he was her boss. Intended for 18+ readers due to mature content and themes.

This story can be read as standalone but, for best reading experience, please read Book 1: My Therapy Dog is a Lycan King Shifter (and I’m his Bookish Mate).
