Unwanted True Mate

I’m almost done catching up on my late reviews! 🎉

I wasn’t planning to watch this one just yet—I saw it on DramaBox and thought, maybe later. But the moment I started, I binge-watched it in one go! 🐺🔥

The Lead Couple

Austin – The Alpha. Due to a past agreement, he must marry a human, but it’s only a contract marriage. Just days before his arranged wedding, he finds his fated mate, but he never sees her face and doesn’t complete his mark on her.

Lucy – Supposedly human, she is Austin’s arranged fiancée. She despises werewolves and considers Austin a brutal jerk. However, her unnatural healing abilities hint that she has a hidden past she isn’t aware of.

Neither of them wanted this arranged marriage—it was just a duty. But fate had other plans. While Austin is used to people following his lead, Lucy refuses to obey him. She’s strong, independent, and impossible to tame. Austin is intrigued from the start.

Their chemistry? Off the charts! Their first kiss at the wedding should have been a clue, but they were too stubborn to realize it. Watching them fight their feelings was so fun. If they had fallen in love too quickly, I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much. The slow burn made it all the more satisfying!

Also, Austin’s expressions whenever he’s near Lucy? Priceless. His innocent, lovestruck looks had me laughing. One of the funniest moments? When Alex unlocked the door, and Austin immediately snapped the key in half. His glare at Alex was hilarious!

The Supporting Characters

Maya – Austin’s sister. From day one, she’s on Lucy’s side and even helps her find her birth parents. Kind, supportive, and someone you’d love to have as a friend!
Alex – Austin’s Beta. He’s all of us, watching Austin and Lucy fall in love, waiting for them to admit their feelings. He sometimes helps, sometimes ruins a moment (but not on purpose). Super funny!

The Villains You’ll Love to Hate

Emily – Lucy’s sister, who was originally supposed to marry Austin. Instead, she sent her adopted sister in her place. She spends the entire story trying to ruin Lucy’s life, even teaming up with Ariana. She got what she deserved in the end!
Ariana – The ultimate manipulator. She lied to Austin, making him believe she was his mate, just so she could become Luna. Her jealousy toward Lucy drives her to do anything to destroy her. Honestly, she was lucky to keep getting away with things. Austin forgave her way too many times—she should have been banished ages ago!

Austin’s Alpha Instincts 

Austin has many sides, and he switches effortlessly between his powerful Alpha persona and his adorable, caring mate. But make no mistake—he’s intense.

Out of all the werewolf series I’ve seen, Austin is the one who truly embraces his wolf instincts. The way he growls whenever his mate bond strengthens, when he’s excited, or even when he’s irritated—it felt so real. I loved that detail!

Final Thoughts

This was an amazing werewolf drama with a fantastic cast! Cayman is now a serious challenger to Eric Guilmette as the ultimate Alpha—he truly has that Alpha aura! I can’t wait to see him in another role like this to see if it was just a one-time magic or if he’s the real deal.

If you love werewolf stories, you’re going to love this one!
