The Alpha King's Unwanted Bride: An Arranged Marriage, Rejected Mate, and Royal Werewolf Romance

She crossed enemy territory to become a peace offering. She never expected the cold Alpha King to be her fated mate—or to reject her before the blood on their wedding floor had dried.

Princess Nikki Turner agrees to an arranged marriage with Grady Foster, Alpha King of the North, to end twenty years of war. But her arrival at Blackglass Palace begins with a deadly ambush staged in her family’s colors, and the northern court is ready to condemn her before she ever reaches the altar.

Then their ceremonial bond reveals the impossible: Grady is her mate.

Nikki feels it with brutal certainty.

Grady feels nothing.

Haunted by the death of the woman he once loved and secretly weakened by a poisonous tonic, Grady sees Nikki’s claim as another political weapon. His rejection nearly destroys the bond between them, but Nikki refuses to become the obedient, disposable queen his enemies expect.

As royal guards fall, hidden passages open, and a conspiracy reaches beneath the throne itself, Nikki and Grady must decide whether to keep fighting each other or trust the connection that could save both kingdoms.

Because the traitor inside the crown does not simply want the queen dead.

He wants the king broken, the royal bloodline stolen, and war reborn.

A high-stakes paranormal fantasy romance featuring an arranged royal marriage, a rejected fated mate, forced proximity, dangerous court politics, a powerful heroine, a wounded hero, hard-earned redemption, and a satisfying happily ever after.
