Sentenced to The Ruthless Alpha
The ad said: Casting call. Women 24–28. No experience necessary. Two-week paid residence in the Vermont estate. Generous compensation (thirty grand)
Thora Storm urgently needed rent money. So, she showed up and surprisingly made it to the final stage.
The casting call turned out to be a trap. Thora didn't know werewolves existed until she was officially declared Mrs. Roman Valcourt and the fake cast/wedding guests started morphing into wolves, braying for her blood. What she did know was that her parents' deaths were never just an ordinary animal attack.
Now she is trapped inside the world responsible for destroying her family.
Roman Valcourt is the most feared Alpha King alive. When he defied the High Council, they handed him the one punishment designed to break him; a human wife, installed as his Luna, a living symbol of his disgrace.
Roman considered her nothing more than his humiliation in a wedding gown. He had a harem, a chosen mate in waiting, and every intention of discarding Thora the moment his law permitted. He also drank a daily suppressant to silence the mate bond his wolf couldn’t stop feeling toward a human he was determined to despise. It wasn't working.
Twelve months. One alpha fighting a bond he refused to acknowledge and one human woman hunting the truth of the night that ruined her life.
The bond doesn't care that she hates his world. It doesn't care that he'd rather die than want her.
It only knows what they are to each other, and it will not be quiet.

Chapter: Chapter 9: Cold Lips, Hot KissRoman POVHe had her tied up outside the mansion. For two days after their return, after five gravestones were dug and their dead buried, Thora remained outside.She was there when a heavy thunderstorm raged and the rain battered her. She was still there when the sun glared down, blisteringly hot. It wasn’t just about her escape attempt and the need to satiate his grieving pack for the losses they had suffered.It was also about using her to show everyone, especially the high council, what a bad omen a human’s presence was in their world.The first night of their return, he had spent it being grilled by the high council, who conveniently blamed him for the disaster that befell them during the hunt.Sentenced or not, he was still the alpha, they maintained. It was still his sole responsibility to coordinate the hunt and to protect his people at all costs.Roman took accountability for everything. He spent the night patrolling

Chapter: Chapter 8: Happy Wife, Happy KnifeThora POV“Calm down, Miss. I assure you. You’re safe,” The doctor reiterated while checking her vitals.But Thora was restless. She kept looking over her shoulder, kept eyeing everyone who came in through the door. The hunters had indeed rescued her and took her to the upper side of town in Crescent Falls, where she had led a normal life for the last twenty-five years.She was in a hospital, surrounded by humans, or at least she wanted to believe so. Her experience in the last few weeks had made that distinction difficult to make.She begged the doctor to let her go, in the same way she had begged the hunters to take her to the police. No one was listening to her.How could she blame them? All she had kept repeating since the forest was how she had been kidnapped by humans who could morph into wolves. Everyone in the car had looked at her like she was crazy.And now the doctor was talking to her softly like a child, like she was mentally unstable and needed constant reassurance that

Chapter: Chapter 7: Silver in the ForestRoman POVAfter a lengthy, mostly heated conversation with the high council, a few terms of his sentence were slightly varied. Roman was especially grateful for the opportunity to shift more frequently, even though it was under certain permittable circumstances, like under a full moon and to protect or defend the pack.But he hardly celebrated, not when the human was still in his life, milling around as an emblem of his disgrace.“How’d it go with Vance?” Dax asked him.Roman frowned, recalling the impromptu visit from his father’s former beta, Vance. A visit from the silver-haired wolf was never as simple as a social call. Dax knew that. It explained the worry lines on his face.Roman sighed heavily. “He was exceptionally disappointed in me. He’s worried his absence from the pack, especially during my reign, has ruined the legacy he swore to my father to protect.”“What’s his grand plan now?” Dax allowed a small smile. “Is he going to babysit you like he did the late alpha?”Roman wi

Chapter: Chapter 6: The Wrong Moment to be PettyThora POVWhen her eyes flicked open, a nasty looking dreamcatcher dangled above her head, swaying lightly. The scream died in her throat, partly due to exhaustion, partly because her head banged.With great effort, she levered herself to a sitting position. When she tipped her neck, her vision swam. Voices rose and fell from a distance.Her eyes cut to the tall shelves where bottles of varying sizes sat, capping an array of herbs, spices, and colorful liquids. The air was filled with a collision of the aromatic fragrances. Yet, the odors weren’t altogether unpleasant. A little fire was going. When she finally looked down at her leg, the horrors of the night hit her again.The pain had been unbearable, and some time during the throes of it, she had been eager for a quick death. But as the bold morning sun intermittently broke the dimness of the room, Thora was grateful for another day.She heard heavy footsteps approach, gulped when the creaky door swung open.“You’re finally awake.” T

Chapter: Chapter 5: The Wrong Kind of RestlessRoman POVHe made it as far as the first floor before he undid the first three buttons of his shirt. Burying a hand in his pocket, a deep breath escaped him as he felt the tincture Matilda had prepared for him.Though it was meant for the wedding night, which wasn’t happening, Roman emptied it in his mouth and swallowed in one gulp.Still, her scent muddied his brain; stubborn and pungent. He didn’t understand it. She was HUMAN! By default, they were not supposed to smell that...good.Yet, she got his blood pumping and hot. In a rare moment of candor, he admitted that he would crave a taste of her if he was any other wolf.But he was an alpha, spun from a long line of pure-blooded werewolves that shouldn’t be tainted with human genes. That was a code he lived by, and no sexual spark would ever be great enough to make him cross that line.He made a beeline for his private office where he found his beta, Dax, rifling through papers. Dax straightened his back, a grim look on his face.Wo

Chapter: Chapter 4: The Bleeding BrideThora POVThe wild branches slashed her skin as she blazed through them. Her updo was now in tatters, flying in the air. Her skin was bleeding with tiny cuts she was yet to feel.Somewhere along her desperate attempt to live, Thora had ripped and discarded the long train of her wedding dress. The corset felt numb to her as she ran, trying to remember familiar terrains in the thicket of the forest.“Follow the sound of water.” She kept chanting in her noisy head, amidst the snarls of wolves behind her. She had spotted a river during one of her trainings. If she could find it, maybe she could jump in and hope the wolves don’t follow. If she made it out alive, only then would she process what she had just seen.Werewolves were a myth. That was what she’s been told all her life, what every human believed. When her parents were found mauled and dead in the woods where they had gone camping, the reports claimed it had been an animal attack, possibly a bear. But what if it wasn’t?Thora didn
