The Alpha Reluctant Bride
Selena Ashford never asked for a mate like him.
When her pack fell into ruin and her people’s lives hung in the balance, she was forced into the cold, calculating hands of Damon Veylor—the ruthless Alpha of Blackthorn. He was powerful, untouchable, and dangerously irresistible. But to him, she wasn’t a fated gift from the Moon Goddess… she was a contract.
One year. That was the deal.
One year of obedience. One year to give him an heir. One year living under his roof, his rules, and his dark gaze that burned through every wall she tried to build. At the end of it, she would be free. Free to walk away… but never free of the bond that tied her soul to his.
Damon doesn’t believe in love. He doesn’t believe in destiny. To him, mates are nothing but chains. But the moment Selena steps into his world, her fire threatens to crack the armor he has worn for years. She is supposed to be nothing more than his reluctant bride—yet every glance, every touch, ignites a war he can no longer control.
In a world where loyalty is tested, secrets unravel, and power is everything, Selena must choose: surrender to the cold contract that binds her, or fight for the dangerous, forbidden love that grows between them.
But Damon has secrets of his own. And when the past comes for them both, will their bond be strong enough to survive… or will the Alpha’s contract destroy them forever?
