Bold, sharp-tongued, and proudly untamed, she swears no prince—especially not Carl, the infuriating heir of Valoria—will ever control her. Prince Carl, on the other hand, has everything he could ever want: charm, power, and a reputation for breaking hearts. But when duty demands he marry the fiery princess of Eldoria, he discovers one thing he’s never had before—a challenge. What begins as a battle of wills soon sparks into something neither of them expected: stolen glances, restless hearts, and a dangerous chemistry that threatens to burn down every wall they’ve built. Can love bloom between two stubborn royals when kingdoms, families, and pride are all on the line? Or will Ariel and Carl’s rivalry tear apart the fragile peace their marriage was meant to secure?

Cara Wylder is the last female in the prestigious Wylder lineage, a family blessed with a rare and powerful she-wolf known as the Golden Luna. This ancient blessing grants her lineage immense power, as any Alpha bonded to her is destined to rule with unmatched strength. However, Cara’s legacy is threatened by a secret—she cannot shift into her wolf form. As rumors of her wolflessness begin to spread, her father, Alpha Roy Wylder, offers her hand in marriage to Darius Wrent, the powerful Lycan King, in an effort to preserve her reputation and the family's standing. On their wedding day, Darius, suspicious of her lack of a wolf’s presence, demands that Cara shift in front of the gathered wolves. When she fails to do so, he publicly rejects her, leaving her disgraced and humiliated. As the other powerful Alphas look on, uninterested in a wolfless bride, Darius mockingly asks if any would dare take her hand. To everyone’s surprise, Lucien Valen, a weakened Alpha who lost most of his power after the death of his fated mate, steps forward to claim her. Lucien, once a contender for Alpha King, has been ridiculed for years, holding onto his title solely due to the loyalty of his people. Ignoring the scorn of the other Alphas, Lucien marries Cara and takes her to his castle. Though she expects a life of shame, Cara soon discovers that Lucien is not cruel, neither is he weak Alpha the others believe him to be. His power remains but is locked under the grief from the loss that haunts him and his inability to enact revenge even after all this years. As they get closer, unsettling truths about Lucien's past and the mastermind behind the fall of the once legendary Alpha is exposed.
