The wolfless bride of the drying alpha

The Wolfless Bride of the Dying Alpha

At twenty-two, Arielle Ashford has accepted one cruel truth: she is useless.

The Alpha's daughter who never shifted. The girl everyone whispers about.

Her father barely looks at her.

Her stepmother calls her a stain.

Her stepsister Elara took her fiancé, Kael Draven, and her family let her.

Then her father makes a crueler decision. She is given to Adrian Draven.

Alpha of Blackridge. Once the strongest Alpha alive. Now dying from a poison no healer can cure. His wolf has been silent for ten months. His council is waiting for him to fall.

A useless wolfless bride for a dying Alpha. They were not meant to survive each other.

Arielle planned to endure. To be invisible in his cold mountain keep.

She didn't plan on his wolf growling mine the first time she put her hands on his bare chest.

He told her on their wedding night: "Don't touch me without permission."

Last night, with his head in her lap and his hands fisted in her dress, he said: "Take your hands off me now and I will chain you to this bed until morning."

Everyone says she is wolfless.

Then what is the white, hungry thing waking inside her every time he bleeds?
