She tamed the untouchable alpha
As a child, Elara drank the poison meant for Jason to save his life. The act left her body soft, her wolf weak, and her once-pretty face ordinary. Jason promised he would marry her one day to repay the debt. For years she waited, sending him every gift of value she received, believing the promise was real.
On the eve of her coming-of-age birthday, she overhears her stepmother and stepsister mocking her. Jason has no intention of marrying her; he already has another woman. Refusing to believe it completely, Elara travels to the Blackwood Pack to confront him.
At a grand banquet she mistakes Alpha Kael for the adult Jason. She approaches him, calls him her fiancé, and touches his arm. His volatile wolf, which has torn apart every woman who came near, falls completely still. Kael realizes what she is to him. Instead of correcting the mistake, he publicly claims her as his betrothed and marries her that same night.
Jason’s mistress later betrays him. Only then does he remember the girl who once saved his life. He follows the trail and discovers Elara has already become his uncle’s mate. Now Jason demands she be returned. But the Alpha who could never stand a woman’s touch will not release the only one who can quiet his wolf

Chapter: The Rules of His HouseChapter 5: The Rules of His HouseI woke up because I couldn’t move.Kael’s arm was locked around my waist. His chest was against my back and his face was buried in my hair. I could feel his breath on my scalp. Slow. Even. Too even.He wasn’t asleep.“How long have you been awake?” I asked.“Since four.”I looked at the window. The curtains were half open and the sky was just turning grey. The clock on the table said ten past seven.“That’s three hours, Kael.”“Yes.”“You just lay here?”“Yes.”“Doing what?”He didn’t answer. His nose moved against the back of my neck and he breathed in deep, like he was checking something. My stomach turned over. Then I remembered last night.The reception. Jason standing in the doorway of the great hall with rain still on his coat, looking at me like I was someone he’d lost. Jason saying my name. Me saying I need time, because it was the only thing I could say without somebody bleeding.Jason had hugged me before Kael pulled me away. One second. May

Chapter: The Weight of a PromiseChapter 4The Weight of a PromiseThe second morning arrived colder than the first.I woke alone.The space beside me still held the shape of Kael’s body and the lingering heat of his skin, but he was already gone. A folded note rested on the pillow where his head had been.Stay in the wing. I will return before midday. —KThe handwriting was sharp, controlled, exactly like the man himself.I sat up slowly. My body ached in quiet places—not from anything he had done, but from the constant tension of the last two days. The green dress from yesterday lay neatly over a chair. Someone had entered while I slept and left fresh clothes: a soft gray tunic and dark trousers that would fit without drawing too much attention to the fullness of my figure. I dressed, washed my face, and stood for a long time at the balcony doors, watching the training grounds below.Warriors moved in precise formations. Their shouts carried faintly upward. Power lived in every motion. My own wolf stirred weakly, a

Chapter: The Morning AfterChapter 3The Morning AfterI woke to the weight of an arm across my waist.For a moment I did not move. The room was still gray with early light. Heavy curtains muted the dawn, but enough filtered through to show the unfamiliar shape of the bed, the dark wood of the walls, the ceiling far higher than the one I had known my whole life. The arm over me was heavy, warm, and unmistakably male. The scent of dark forest and steel filled every breath I took.Kael.Memory returned in a slow, merciless wave. The banquet. The mistake. The blood. The binding. The way his wolf had gone quiet the instant I touched him.I lay frozen, staring at the far wall. His breathing was deep and even against the back of my neck. At some point in the night he had closed the careful distance he promised to keep. His chest pressed along my spine. One of his legs had tangled with mine beneath the blankets. The heat of him soaked into my skin as though my body had been cold for years and only now remembered warmt

Chapter: Then, quieter:Chapter 2The ClaimThe great hall of Blackwood Pack held its breath.I stood with my hand trapped beneath the man’s larger one, heart slamming against my ribs so hard I was certain everyone could hear it. His gray eyes remained fixed on my face. There was no warmth in them, no boyish recognition, only a sharp, assessing stillness that made the air feel heavier.Around us, whispers rose like smoke.“Is that—?”“Who is she?”“Did the Alpha just—?”Alpha.The word slid through the murmurs and settled cold in my stomach. Jason was the Alpha’s nephew, not the Alpha himself. The boy I had known had spoken of his uncle with careful respect and a thread of fear. This man could not be Jason.Yet he still held my hand against his arm.He turned his head slightly toward the high table without releasing me. “Clear the floor.”The command was quiet. It did not need to be loud. Bodies moved at once. Chairs scraped. Music died completely. Within moments a wide space opened around us, leaving me exp

Chapter: The PoisonChapter 1The PoisonThe first time I tasted death, it was sweet.I was nine years old, barefoot in the kitchen of our small pack house, when I saw the glass. It sat on the wooden table like any other cup of milk, pale and innocent under the late afternoon light. Jason stood beside it, laughing at something my father had said. He was twelve, already tall for his age, with bright eyes and the easy confidence of a future Alpha’s son. I adored him the way little girls sometimes adore older boys who are kind to them. He never mocked my soft voice or the way I trailed after him like a shadow.I did not know the glass held poison.My stepmother had prepared it. She moved through the kitchen with quiet purpose, her smile too sharp at the edges. I remember the way her eyes flicked toward Jason and then toward the door, as if measuring how long it would take for someone to notice. My father had stepped outside to speak with the Beta. The house felt strangely empty.Jason reached for the glass.
