Alpha Kael's Vengeful Bride
“Marry me for one year, give me your name, your loyalty, and your silence. In return, I’ll destroy everyone who ever broke you.”
On the night of her twenty-first birthday, Lyra Vale is publicly rejected by the man she thought she would marry and accused of a crime that leaves her family ruined and her reputation in ashes. Within hours, she goes from being a future Luna to an outcast.
But when the most feared Alpha in the North, Kael Draven, offers her a contract marriage, Lyra says yes for only one reason—revenge.
Kael wants her for reasons he refuses to explain. To the world, their marriage is a political alliance. To Lyra, it is a weapon. With his ring on her finger, she plans to crush the people who betrayed her: her ambitious cousin, her traitorous ex, and the council that helped bury her alive.
Yet life inside Nightfang Citadel is far more dangerous than she expected. Her husband is cold, possessive, and full of secrets. His enemies watch her every move. His Beta seems to know things about her past no one should. And the deeper Lyra digs, the more she realizes her downfall was never random—it was orchestrated.
Worse, her contract husband may not have rescued her at all.
He may have chosen her long before she ever fell.
And when the truth finally comes out, Lyra must decide what matters more—revenge against the people who destroyed her, or surviving the devastating man she is beginning to love.

Chapter: Chapter FourKael’s Pov The hall watched us leave in silence, their gazes fixated on us Some of them looked stunned while some looked cheated that they had not seen Lyra dragged to a cell instead of led away with my ring in her hand. I saw Magnus trying to hide his relief, Selene trying to hide her rage, and Cassian face held bitterness he couldn't even hide. Lyra did not look back once. That was the first thing I respected about her. My men opened the car door, and she entered immediately. I got in after her, shutting out the noise of Black Hollow behind us. For a while, neither of us spoke. The road out of Ravenmoor cut through dark forest and scattered borders. Night had come by the time Black Hollow disappeared behind us, and only then did I allow myself to breathe properly. I had secured a Luna, secured the alliance, and secured my throne for now. That thought stayed with me throughout the journey. In two days, Nightfang would hold the Moonbound Investiture, the rite tha

Chapter: Chapter ThreeLyra’s Pov I heard the words. I understood them. I simply could not make them real inside my head. Someone near the back dropped a goblet, the sound hitting hard across the hall. My aunt gasped loudly in shock. “This can't be true..” Elder Marrow sputtered. My eyes instinctively turned to Selene abd her face was blood red. Cassian stared at Kael like he had gone mad. Only Alpha Magnus found his voice first. "You cannot be serious." "I do not make jokes in public." Kael blurted. I finally stepped back on instinct. "What?" Kael continued. "A one-year contract marriage under Nightfang law. In return, Black Hollow receives military protection along the eastern border, immediate suspension of its current war debt, free herbs from Nightfang and the signed alliance you begged for." My uncle's mouth opened in shock, then shut. He had not denied begging for the alliance because that would have been another lie too easy to expose. The elders started speaking at once

Chapter: Chapter TwoLyra's PovThe guards were only a few feet from me when the great doors of the hall slammed open so hard the sound cracked through the chamber like thunder. Cold wind rushed in, killing candles and stirring silk and smoke. Every wolf in the room turned at once.The Alpha of Nightfang entered the hall dressed in black from head to toe, his broad shoulders marked with silver battle stitching and his scarred hands bare at his sides. He was taller than any man near him and darker than the moonlit room around him. He always walks slowly as though he controls the world and that was the first terrifying thing about Kael Draven.Everywhere fell silent as he stepped in.Kael was supposed to arrive before midnight to finalize the alliance.He was not supposed to walk into the middle of my own ruin, but here he was.Alpha Magnus was the first to recover.He stepped forward with a stiff smile and offered his hand for a handshake.“Alpha Draven, we are sorry for the disorder.You arrived at an u

Chapter: Chapter OneLyra's Pov“You will announce us tonight, won’t you?”I kept my smile in place as the question left my lips, but my heart was beating too hard to let me feel calm. Across me was Cassian Thorn, he adjusted the cuff of his black formal coat and gave me the charming look that had once made every girl in Black Hollow jealous. Tonight was the Blood Moon Ascension Ball, and everyone in the pack knew what was supposed to happen. A mating announcement at midnight while I as the future Luna standing beside the man I had loved since I was sixteen.The pack tradition demands that if a royal blood finds her mate on the night she clocks eighteen, she would be given the mantle of leadership but if she is unable to, she won't be able to lead the pack again in her lifetime.Cassian touched my hand, though not tightly enough to settle the sudden unease in my chest. “You worry too much,” he said in a low voice, like I was being foolish for asking. “Just enjoy the night, Lyra.” His words should
