S.Imoh
In a kingdom where no Selection bride has ever survived the palace, Elara's adoptive family makes their choice fast: their real daughter is too precious to risk. Elara — taken in out of pity, never truly one of them is not.
She refuses but it doesn't matter. She ends up inside the palace anyway, with one goal: get out before anyone learns what she really is.
Then she meets the Alpha King, and the pull between them is instant, violent, undeniable. Mates — the one thing he's hunted for years, found in the bride no one expected to survive at all. He makes it clear: he isn't letting her go.
But the deeper Elara digs into who she really is, the more dangerous the truth becomes — for her, for the crown, and for a second kingdom now watching her every move. Not everyone around her is who they seem. Not every bond is simple. And not every war waits for her to be ready.
Two kings. One impossible choice and a truth that could burn the whole kingdom down.
