Forbidden alpha king

Fifteen years ago, ten-year-old Elowen Hawthorne watched royal soldiers slaughter her father and burn Moonmere Keep to the ground.

Before sending her through a hidden tunnel, her mother placed a crescent pendant around her neck and gave her one command: hide her true name until she could prove their family was innocent.

Elowen survived.

Now she has returned for revenge.

Alpha King Ronan Blackwood rules the five royal werewolf packs of the Scottish Highlands with ruthless strength. His enemies fear him, his council questions him, and his failing kingdom demands that he accept an arranged mate from a powerful northern pack.

Then an ambush leaves Ronan bleeding on Rannoch Moor.

The mysterious healer who saves his life is the last woman he should ever desire.

The instant Elowen touches him, their wolves recognize the truth.

They are fated mates.

But Elowen is the lost heir of Moonmere, a forbidden bloodline condemned for murdering Ronan’s family. Crown Law demands her execution. Claiming her could cost Ronan his throne, divide the royal packs, and begin a war across the Highlands.

Elowen has no intention of becoming the king’s hidden lover or obedient prisoner. She entered Caer Dùnan to steal the Crown Ledger, clear her parents’ names, and expose the Blackwood throne.

Yet the king she was raised to hate is not the man she expected.

He protects her with savage force. He stands against his own council for her. He makes her burn with a desire she cannot control.

Then Elowen discovers his darkest betrayal.

Ronan knew who she was from the beginning—and used her to draw his enemies into the open.

With rebellion spreading, an arranged mating approaching, and the man who raised her hiding a deadly secret, Elowen must decide whether the bond between them is another chain or the first choice that has ever truly belonged to her.

Because fate may have chosen her mate.

But only Elowen can decide whether the Alpha King is worthy of her heart, her wolf, and the crown powerful men have killed to possess.

Forbidden Alpha King is a steamy adult werewolf romance filled with fated mates, forbidden love, enemies-to-lovers tension, royal betrayal, a lost heir, an obsessive Alpha King, dangerous pack politics, and a heroine who refuses to kneel.
