Unmarked by Love

An ordinary girl named Willow appeared to be the obedient "pet" at Alpha Rowan's side. For seven years she was marked, neglected, and treated as nothing more than a tool to suppress his feral nature. For the sake of his new lover Lyra, he made her swallow every humiliation — and even when Lyra was tearing into her with bites, he personally held Willow down and told her to die.​ But her true protector had already appeared long before — Damian, the Lycan King. Three years ago, during a subway collapse, he saved her and has been silently guarding her ever since. When she cut off the mark and collapsed in a pool of blood, it was he who caught her, gave her time to heal, and never rushed to claim her with a mark. Faced with Rowan's persistent threats and harassment, Damian always stood in front of her, shielding her without fail.​ She finally understood that true protection is: "I will never let anyone hurt you again." She chose to let him mark her, and he continued to protect her in silence all the while.
