SCARRED ALPHA, STOLEN BRIDE

She was sent to marry him. She was sent to kill him. Nobody warned her she'd fall.

For a hundred years, one law has kept two rival wolf bloodlines from tearing the valley apart: every generation, a bride is handed over as the price of peace. This year, the bride is Maren Vale — the niece nobody will miss, the spare daughter raised in a kennel yard and spent like a coin.

What her uncle never told her: the wedding is an execution. And Maren is the weapon.

Because Maren carries a secret that would get her drowned by either pack. Silver — the one thing that can kill a wolf — has never once burned her skin. And the scarred alpha she's been ordered to destroy is dying slowly of the very poison she was born to hold.

Severin Kovar hasn't worn his wolf in seven years. Silver in his blood locked the beast inside him the night his father was murdered under a truce banner. He rules two hundred wolves on will and violence alone — until an enemy bride kills a wolf with her bare hands on his road and the mate bond he can never allow roars awake in his chest.

He should send her back. He should let her run. Instead, he carries her over his own boundary and claims her under old law — and starts a countdown neither of them will survive alone.

They have seven nights until the wedding. A traitor behind the gate. A rival warlord who wants Maren for himself. And a bond that could either save them both — or pour his death straight into the one woman it can't kill.

If you love the pull of a fated bond that's forbidden by blood, you'll devour this one. Scarred Alpha, Stolen Bride delivers everything the genre promises and refuses to blink:

⬥ A wounded, dominant alpha who protects with his whole ruined body and can't say the words
⬥ A sharp, unbreakable heroine who stops being handed off and starts handing herself — straight down the enemy's throat
⬥ Enemies-to-mates tension across rival packs, forced proximity, and a slow burn that finally, absolutely, catches fire
⬥ Pack politics, a buried conspiracy, and a treaty written in blood
⬥ A single, standalone story with a guaranteed happily-ever-after — no cliffhanger, no waiting

This is Romeo and Juliet with claws. A Luna who was never supposed to be a queen. An alpha who was never supposed to hope again. And one black river in the dark where they finally choose each other, or lose everything.

Steamy. Emotional. Impossible to put down.
