The Alpha's Bride

They called her wolfless. The Goddess called her mine.

Elara Voss has spent twenty-one years on her knees: scrubbing floors, swallowing insults, and carrying the blame for a pack that never wanted her. On the night of her Moonrise Ceremony, the Beta rejects her before four hundred cheering wolves. By dawn, her stepfather has sold her to settle a debt.

Her buyer is the Blackthorn Pack, and their Alpha is a legend written in blood. Kaelen Blackthorn is a ruthless, scarred king who burned down his own pack to avenge his first mate. One look at the broken girl in the iron wagon, and he whispers a single word.

Mine.

Elara wants no part of it. She has been owned enough for one lifetime, and a fated bond is just another chain with prettier words. But Kaelen is the first man to kneel and ask permission, the first to tend her scars instead of adding to them. And something ancient is stirring beneath her skin. The scar on her shoulder burns. A silver-eyed wolf walks through her dreams. The mark she was born with is the same one carved on a grave, and the pack that threw her away seems strangely afraid of what she might become.

Because Elara was never wolfless. She was hidden.

With a jealous she-wolf plotting in the shadows, rogues at the gates, and a hunter who has waited two decades for a seal to break, Elara must decide what she wants: to run, to surrender, or to rise. And Kaelen must learn whether a dark Alpha can love a woman without claiming her.

Some are rejected only so they may be found.

The Alpha's Bride is a dark, slow-burn paranormal romance with a fated mates bond, an abused and underestimated heroine who claims her power, and a fiercely protective Alpha who would burn the world for her, if only she would ask.
