I was promised to him, but fate made me his.

As the bastard daughter of an alpha, I was nothing more than a pawn—cast aside, raised by my human mother, and betrothed to a man I'd never met. Merrick was my duty, my inevitable fate.

Until the moment I met him.

One look, and my wolf knew. Fated. Bound. His.

But fate is never kind. A curse looms over us, enemies lurk in the shadows, and the one thing he craves most may be the one thing I can never give him.

He was supposed to claim me for power. Now? He'll burn the world to keep me.

A dark, possessive wolf-shifter romance packed with arranged marriage, fated mates, age gap tension, and a ruthless alpha who won't let go.
