As one of the most respected cardiologists in the city, he's spent years believing that working hard, staying loyal, and providing stability were enough to prove his love.

Until one day, she realizes love should not feel this lonely. "I already loved you enough, Caleb." And just like that, she walks away. At first, Caleb thinks she simply needs time. Until he begins to notice the unbearable silence she leaves behind. No more messages. No more laughter in his office. No more Anna. For the first time in his life, Caleb is forced to confront a painful truth: sometimes love doesn't end suddenly. It simply grows tired.

The position seems perfect-until Kaia notices the strange rules, the overly protective staff, and the cold, watchful gaze of Olivia's father. Atticus. The widowed alpha keeps his distance, fighting the undeniable pull between them. But the longer Kaia stays, the more the estate's secrets begin to surface-whispers about the moon, strange pack behavior, and instincts she can't explain. And whether Atticus wants it or not, his wolf has already made its choice. The human nanny might be his fated mate.

[Synopsis Title: The Beta His Alpha Chose Too Late] Elliot Carter is only ever the replacement. When his Omega brother runs from an arranged marriage, Elliot-an ordinary Beta from a failing family-is shoved into the wedding in his place and tied to Adrian Sterling, an S-class Alpha who should have had everything he wanted. In public, they become the perfect couple. In private, they are strangers sharing a bed, a contract, and years of resentment. Adrian never wanted a Beta. Elliot never had a choice. So when Elliot finally walks away, he means to end it cleanly. No more cleaning up his family's messes. No more being the stand-in for someone else. No more mistaking heat, possessiveness, and late-night tenderness for love. He starts over in a quiet dessert shop, determined to build a life that belongs to him for once. But Adrian refuses to stay gone. He keeps showing up-at Elliot's work, outside his door, in the spaces Elliot is trying to reclaim-and the more Elliot pushes him away, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth. His runaway brother is back, old misunderstandings are cracking apart, and the arrogant Alpha Elliot thought he understood may have wanted him all along. If Elliot lets himself believe that, he risks becoming a replacement again. If he doesn't, he might lose the first person who ever tried to choose him. When a love built on obligation starts turning into something real, can Elliot trust it-or is he about to be used one more time?
