LOGIN"I am just a big, fat human to you, right?" I spent four years hidden in the shadows, pouring my soul into making my wolf fiancé the most powerful pack leader in the Silverhowl Bard Guild. I sacrificed my own voice, my own dreams, and my own pack standing for him. But on the eve of our wedding at the Moon Goddess Bond Hall, I caught him locked in the arms of my closest friend—the very wolf I helped turn into a superstar. They thought my human heart would break. They thought a plus-size human girl with no wolf abilities would just whimpering away into the dark. They were wrong. Betrayed, humiliated, and left standing alone at the altar, I refuse to let them see me cry. Instead, I walk straight up to the most dangerous, terrifying, and untouchable creature in the entire territory: Lucan Ashcroft, the supreme Alpha Lord of the Moonsong Dominion. He needs a wife in twenty minutes to secure his royal pack lands. I need a weapon to crush the wolves who tore my world apart. I look him dead in the golden eyes and make a deal with the devil. Our marriage is supposed to be a secret, temporary arrangement built on raw vengeance and pack law, not love. But as the fake bond begins to pull us closer under the same roof at the Ashcroft Silverclaw Citadel, the fierce Alpha King makes it clear that he isn't letting his human bride go. Rowan and Meredith wanted to see me fall, but they are about to watch me rule by the side of the ultimate Alpha. Will a human girl survive the dangerous games of the royal wolf bloodline, or will she teach the entire pack how a true queen rules?

"Do not wake Eloise up," Rowan whispers. "Get your clothes on quick. I will take you back to your pack now."
"Are you scared she will see us?" Meredith laughs. "She drank too much moon-wine tonight. You marry her tomorrow at the Moon Goddess Bond Hall anyway."
"Shh, keep it down," Rowan says. "She is right outside on the couch."
"Eloise is just a big, fat human," Meredith says. "She needs to give up on you. My belly is growing. Our baby needs to be the next pack leader."
My heart breaks. I stand outside the door. My hands shake. I am so scared and sad. I gave my best songs in the Silverhowl Bard Guild to Meredith because Rowan asked me to. I helped her become a top star. Now they do this to me.
"I love you, Rowan," Meredith says.
"I love you too," Rowan says.
They walk out of the room. They do not see me behind the big chair. They leave the house together. I look out the window. They hug by the car. My tears fall fast.
The next morning comes. I put on my dress. I drive my small car to the Moon Goddess Bond Hall. I do not want to marry him now. I want to see what he lies about.
I wait for a whole hour. The sun is high. Rowan is not here.
My phone rings. I pick it up.
"Eloise, Meredith is hurt bad," Rowan says. "She had a huge car crash. I must stay with her at the pack hospital. We will sign the mate papers another day."
"Is she okay?" I ask.
"She needs me," Rowan says. "Just go home."
He hangs up the phone. He thinks I am stupid. He cares more about his secret wolf lover than his wedding. I am glad I know the truth. I will never marry this bad wolf.
I turn around to leave. A giant black truck stops. A very tall man gets out. He has dark glasses on. He takes them off. He looks like a king. He is huge and strong. He makes the air feel heavy.
I know him. He is Lucan Ashcroft. He is the Alpha Lord of the Moonsong Dominion.
"Lord Lucan, we cannot find Evelina Ashenvale," Beta Aide Corwin says. "Should we go get her?"
"No," Lucan says. "I do not wait for a woman who is late for her own wedding."
"But High Alpha Osric says you must marry today," Corwin says. "If you do not, you lose the pack lands."
"Find me a girl right now," Lucan orders. "I have twenty minutes. Go get any female star from the guild."
"Right now, sir?" Corwin asks.
"Yes, right now," Lucan says.
My eyes get wide. Lucan wants a wife fast. Rowan threw me away. Meredith thinks I am nothing because I am a plus-size human. I want to make them mad. I want Rowan to regret this forever. I need a strong man to help me.
I walk right up to the giant Alpha.
"Lord Lucan, you need a bride today," I say. "Look at me. Can you choose me instead?"
Lucan stops. He looks down at me.
"Who are you?" Lucan asks.
"I am Eloise Hollowmere," I say.
He stands very still. His dark eyes look at my face and my body. He does not say yes and he does not say no. I hold my breath because he looks so scary.
Eloise Hollowmere POV"Rowan does not care if I live or die," I say, putting my fork down. "He did not even try to send a mind-link or a message bird. That wolf is dead to me now.""You are smart to leave him," Lucan says, watching me with dark eyes."I want a completely new start," I say, looking at his handsome face. "I am just a human girl, but I feel a strong pull toward you.""Alpha Lord, the things you wanted are inside the sleeping chamber now," the pack steward says, bowing his head very low."Go rest," Lucan says to the steward."Are you ready?" Lucan asks me, standing up from the table."Yes," I say, but my hands start to shake because I feel very nervous.I follow him into the big royal bedroom. The floor is covered in soft white fur and sweet moon-flowers. The bed is huge and wide."I will go wash the dirt from my skin first," Lucan says, looking at my big body with kind eyes. "Get ready. I want you to be the lady of the Ashcroft pack with no fear, but I will not force you
Eloise Hollowmere POV"My rule is simple," Lucan says, looking down at my face. "Once a bond starts, it never ends.""I know how you do things in the Moonsong Dominion, Alpha Lord," I say, keeping my voice strong. "I will be your good wife with all my heart, but I have one rule too.""Speak," Lucan says."I want to finish my fight with Rowan Blackthorn by myself," I say. "I do not want to use the big power of your royal pack.""Good," Lucan says, nodding his head. "I like that."He walks with me right into the big Ashcroft Silverclaw Citadel."I have pack papers to read in my study," Lucan says, pointing his big hand down the hall. "Go rest first. My bedroom is right over there.""Alright," I say, and my face feels very hot.My phone shakes in my pocket. I pick it up fast. It is Selene Moonwhisper."Eloise, it is done!" Selene laughs over the phone. "Everyone on the pack web is reading about Meredith Thornvale buying her way into songs. We told them she uses Rowan to steal resources a
Eloise Hollowmere POV"The part belongs to Meredith Thornvale!" Moon Trial Elder Ronan Stormclaw shouts, standing up from his big chair. "Her singing is so great today. I did not want to invite her because the Silverhowl Bard Guild pushed me too hard, but she proved me wrong.""Wait a minute!" a loud voice screams from the back. "Meredith Thornvale singing like a beautiful nightingale? That is a huge lie!""Isolde Ravencrest!" Caedmon Frostfang yells, stepping in front of me fast. "Keep your mouth shut! Meredith is very sick with a pack virus. Do not make up bad stories!""She is a big fake!" Isolde points her finger right at my wolf mask. "I know that is not Meredith under there. She hired a human double to steal the song. Take off that mask right now!""If she takes it off, everyone in this performance arena will catch her terrible fever!" Caedmon barks back. "We are not selfish wolves. We must keep the mask on!""Do you think we are stupid pups with no brains?" Isolde laughs. "That
Eloise Hollowmere POV"Selene is helping me now," I say. "Half of my plan is ready.""What else did those bad wolves do?" Selene asks over the phone."Meredith wants to take all the top singing spots in the Silverhowl Bard Guild," I say. "She is using Rowan to steal everything from me. And that is not all. She carries Rowan's baby right now.""They are the worst wolves in the woods!" Selene yells."I will make them pay," I say. "I will give them back every bad thing they did to me."I put on my heavy powder and my dark clothes. I fix the wolf mask over my face. I walk right into the Silvermoon Royal Lodge on time."Oh, Meredith!" Caedmon Frostfang shouts very loud in the hall. "You look so sick today! Hurry up and get ready for the Moon Trial Elders!"He talks so loud because he wants everyone to think I am Meredith. He is a very sneaky manager. I do not show my face yet. I want the big show to start first."Look at the clock!" Caedmon snaps as soon as the elevator doors close. "You t
