The Wolf King

You were raised to hate them. But the monster in the dark is the only one who sees you. The arena stinks of blood and cheap wine. Five hundred nobles laugh while wolves die in the sand. And Princess Aurora—traded like cattle to a prince who's already planned her funeral—does the one thing that will cost her everything. She stands up. She spares the wolf. And before dawn breaks over her wedding day, a monster comes through her window. He takes her north. Into the frozen wilds where clans are uniting for war. He tells himself she's leverage. A political asset. The key to ending a genocide. But she doesn't scream. Doesn't beg. Doesn't break. She looks at him like he's a person instead of a predator. And his wolf—the beast he's controlled for seventeen years—decides she belongs to him. Now there are twenty wolves in Edric's prison. One execution per day until she's returned. A traitor in the pack who wants her dead. And a mate bond that doesn't care that she's human. The war wants her as a martyr. The alpha wants her as his own. And the only way out is through a choice that will cost her everything she thought she knew about herself. Because the blood of wolves runs in her veins. And the girl who was raised to be a sacrifice is about to become something else entirely. An enemies to lovers shifter romance about a human princess, a wolf alpha, and the forbidden bond that could destroy two nations. A complete standalone novel with a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhangers.
