Peyton Iuga
He was supposed to marry for peace. His wolf had other plans.
Bron Ashborn doesn't believe in fate. He believes in treaties, bloodlines, and control, right up until the night his mate bond snaps in front of three hundred witnesses, for a girl who isn't even supposed to be in the room.
Wren has spent her whole life invisible. No family, no rank, no name worth remembering, just an omega who scrubs floors and stays out of sight, because the alternative is dangerous. She knows what happens to girls the Alpha notices. She never wanted to be noticed at all.
But the bond doesn't care what she wants. And Bron isn't a man who lets go of what's his, not for a treaty, not for his father's fury, not for the war it might start.
The more he claims her, the more she's marked. And the deeper Bron falls, the more he uncovers a truth buried twenty years deep, one that could burn his family's empire to the ground, with her standing in the middle of the fire.
Some bonds are destiny. Theirs might be a death sentence.
