THE BRIDE OFFERED TO WOLVES
For five hundred years, the Alpha Kingdom of Moonfang has followed one unbreakable law...no Alpha King shall ever take a human as his queen. But after a devastating war leaves both humans and werewolves on the brink of ruin, peace comes at a terrible price. Princess Elena Ashford, the overlooked daughter of the Human Chancellor, is forced into a political marriage with the feared Alpha King, Kael Draven.
She expects a loveless union. She never expects public humiliation.
During their wedding ceremony, the Moon Goddess declares before the entire kingdom that Elena is not Kael's fated mate. As the outraged pack demands her execution, an ancient royal mark suddenly appears on Elena's skin. The Palace Oracle reveals a prophecy long buried in history...if the human queen dies, the Alpha King will die with her.
Hated by the pack, hunted by assassins, and trapped in a kingdom that wants her gone, Elena struggles to survive while Kael reluctantly protects the wife he never wanted. As danger closes in, they uncover a hidden chamber beneath the royal palace where every Alpha Queen painted over the past thousand years bears Elena's exact face.
The shocking discovery exposes a conspiracy that has manipulated both kingdoms for centuries. Someone has been murdering women who resemble Elena to prevent the return of the legendary First Queen, whose forgotten bloodline holds the power to unite humans and werewolves...or destroy them forever.
As betrayal, forbidden love, and ancient secrets collide, Elena and Kael must choose whether to trust destiny or each other. Because the greatest threat to their kingdoms is not the war between humans and wolves...it is the truth that has been buried for a thousand years.

Chapter: Blood Has a ScentThey lifted the Oracle from the floor before I could ask her anything. Her eyes were still closed, her breathing shallow, but her lips moved once more as the healers carried her past me, close enough that I caught the words meant for no one."Hide her... before the Blood Hunters arrive."No one explained what that meant. The healers only walked faster, their faces carefully blank in the way servants' faces go blank when they've heard something they wish they hadn't. I stood alone in the corridor for a long moment after they'd gone, the word hunters echoing in a way that made the stone floor feel colder under my bare feet than it had a minute before.Kael's voice cut through the corridor before the doors had even shut behind them."Triple the guards on the Queen's Wing. No one enters her chambers without my permission. She doesn't leave these rooms until I say otherwise."I watched the guards exchange glances, quick and startled, the kind of look men share when their Alpha has just don

Chapter: The Mark They FearI came back to myself to the sound of shouting."She's cursed this kingdom!" Someone was screaming it, close enough that I felt the words more than heard them. "Seize her before sunrise!"Guards moved toward me. I tried to push myself up off the stone and found my arms wouldn't cooperate yet, the world still tilting at the edges.The Head Elder's voice rose above the rest. "The Oracle collapsed the moment she looked at her. That mark is no blessing. It's a warning. Take her."Then Kael was in front of me. I hadn't seen him move."No one touches my Queen."My breath caught.Queen.It was the first time he'd called me that. Not treaty. Not human. Not Princess.Queen.The word settled somewhere inside my chest where I hadn't realized I'd still been hoping to belong.I hated that it mattered, I hated even more that it did.The courtyard went silent.Not because he'd stopped them.Because he'd called me Queen.No one had expected it.Least of all me.Now it hung in the air over three hundr

Chapter: A Wedding the Moon RejectsI couldn't stop hearing it."Tell me the truth," I said to Nessa, the moment the other maids left the room. "The fated mate. What do you know?"She kept her eyes on the ribbon she was folding. "I only know rumors, Elena. Nothing certain.""I'll take rumors."She set the ribbon down slowly, like she was deciding whether saying it out loud would make it more real. "They say the Alpha found his mate years ago. Before the war. And something happened. Something terrible enough that no one in this palace speaks of it. Not the servants. Not the guards. I asked once, when we first arrived, and the woman I asked looked at me like I'd asked her to repeat a curse.""What happened to her? His mate?""I don't know. That's the truth, whatever you think of it. Nobody knows, or nobody's allowed to say.""Is she dead?""I don't know that either.""Then why does everyone act as though the wedding is already doomed?"Nessa hesitated long enough that I understood the answer before she gave it. "Because a

Chapter: The Pack's HatredThe carriage stopped, and no one opened the door.I waited three seconds. Four. Then I understood that no one was going to, and I opened it myself, stepping down into a silence so complete I could hear my own heartbeat.Every wolf lowered its head. Not a single one stopped staring.I made myself walk forward instead of standing frozen on the carriage step. My legs felt like they belonged to someone else. The courtyard stretched wide and gray under a sky that hadn't decided yet whether it would rain, and every face turned to track me as I crossed it, the way a hundred pairs of eyes track something they've already decided is a threat. Somewhere behind me I heard Nessa's footsteps stop at the carriage door, too afraid to follow further until someone told her it was safe.A small boy near the front of the crowd tugged his mother's sleeve. "Why is there a human here?"She yanked him back so fast he nearly fell. She didn't answer him. She didn't have to. The way she pulled him away, like I

Chapter: The Bride Offered to Wolves"Princess...wake up."Nessa had never called me Princess when we were alone. Not once, not in eighteen years. She did today, and that was how I knew before she said another word that something in my life had already ended."The war is over."My heart leaped so fast it hurt. Three years of casualty lists. Three years of boys coming home missing pieces of themselves. Finally…Then five more words came out of her, and her voice broke on every one of them."Your father already signed it.""Signed what?"She wouldn't answer. She just pulled the robe off the chair and held it out with both hands shaking, and that told me more than she ever could have said out loud.I didn't dress properly. I threw the robe over my nightgown and followed her down the east corridor, past guards who wouldn't look at me, past maids who stopped sweeping and then quickly looked away too. The whole house had gone silent. Even the dogs in the courtyard weren't barking.My father stood at the head of the council tab
