Claimed by the Alpha King

She was supposed to marry him. I married him instead.

When my twin sister runs away hours before her wedding to the most feared Alpha King in the northern territories, I make the worst decision of my life.

I put on her dress. I walk down that aisle. I say "I do" to a man who could kill me with his bare hands.

Kael Blackthorne is everything the stories say and worse.

Brutal. Possessive. Absolutely terrifying when he's angry.

They call him the Bloodthirsty King for a reason.

But the moment our eyes meet at the altar, I feel it. The pull. The need. The connection that makes my wolf howl with recognition.

We're mates.

The cruel twist? He was never supposed to be mine.

Now I'm trapped in a castle with a man who thinks I'm someone else. A man whose touch sets my skin on fire. A man whose dark past holds secrets that could destroy us both.

When he discovers my lie, he should throw me in the dungeons.

Instead, he does something worse.

He claims me.

But our enemies are gathering. Ancient curses are awakening. And the longer I stay by his side, the more I realize that loving the Alpha King might cost me everything.

Including my life.

Will our forbidden bond be strong enough to survive the war that's coming?

Or will the truth about who I really am destroy the only love I've ever known?
