Law
All her life, Elara's gold-digging mother treated her like a price tag, constantly arranging husbands for her; usually wealthy, old wolves willing to pay enough for her hand.
But Elara never cared about money. She only ever wanted one thing: to marry Derek, the boyfriend she actually loved.
So on the night they were supposed to elope, imagine her surprise when she caught him in bed with her mother's precious golden daughter, her own sister, Vivienne.
Heartbroken and too exhausted to fight, she returned home only for her mother to immediately announce another wealthy husband.
For once, she didn't argue. "Fine. I'll marry him."
The next day, numb and barely paying attention, she went to the courthouse. She saw a handsome man waiting outside simply dressed. Didn't look rich at all. She assumed her mother finally went for looks instead of money.
She signed the papers.
Only after bringing her new husband home did she discover the truth. Her mother was hosting a marriage meeting for Vivienne, who was now sitting beside a different wealthy man. Her mother took one look at Elara's new husband and screamed, "Who the fuck is he?"
That was when Elara realized she married the wrong man.
Her mother humiliated him, called him poor and worthless, and threw them both out.
What her mother didn't know?
The quiet man Elara accidentally married was Kai Draven, one of the richest, most feared billionaire Alpha wolves in the country. He was at that courthouse waiting for his own contract bride to secure his Alpha title.
And now that Elara accidentally became his wife? He wasn't particularly interested in correcting the mistake.
