Lunar Sovereignty and the Bloodied Rose

Elara is a pariah, the only member of the Silverwood Pack born without a wolf. When a mysterious plague decimates their ranks, the pack's elders cast the blame on her "curse." To save her family from execution, Elara must make a desperate bargain with the one Alpha feared by all: Kael, the Broken Tyrant of the rival Blackmoon Pack. He is a monster rumored to have murdered his own mate, and his price for the cure is as shocking as it is forbidden: Elara must become his bride, binding their enemy packs in a hated union. Torn from her home and thrust into the heart of a dark, hostile court, Elara's quest for survival becomes one of revenge against those who cast her out. She must navigate the cruel politics of the Blackmoon Pack and the cold, terrifying rage of her new husband, whose moments of unexpected intensity leave her breathless and confused. The stakes are absolute: her family's life, her pack's future, and her own fragile heart. But the bond forced upon them by a desperate bargain feels like something more. A dangerous, magnetic pull defies Kael’s cruelty and Elara’s hatred. As she digs deeper into the secrets of the court, she discovers that the greatest danger isn't the man she was forced to marry, but the shocking truth that fate has bound them together in a way neither of them could ever have imagined.
