BETROTHED TO ICE, FATED TO FIRE
“Stacy…you have to believe me…this was just a one-night thing. You wouldn’t give yourself to me, and I needed… something. It meant nothing, Ana.” His words—they sent shivers down my spine. Shivers of pain, like an arrow, were piercing into my heart. Deep and deep until it was all in.
“Y…” Words were caught in my head, and even when I had prepared it in my mind, it still came out silently.
Born as the daughter of the Skybound Alpha King, Anastasia Zyaire was born to rule, trained with Luna etiquette, duty, and expectations , but not love. Raised by her parents who saw her as a bargaining chip instead of a daughter. At 21, still unmated, she's summoned to a grand family dinner, only to be told she's to marry a stranger from a rival pack in two weeks.
She already gave her heart away. But when she runs to the only man who she thought would save her, she walks in on his betrayal.
Broken and drunk at the full moon Fiesta, Anastasia finds herself ranting on a balcony, and falling into the arms of a mysterious stranger whose scent she can't even place. The heat, the touch, the mark…everything feels real.
Until the next day.
Because the stranger is one of two identical twins…cursed heir of the Dragon Rider Pack.
And she’s betrothed to the cold one.
Now bound by blood, politics, and secrets, Anastasia must choose between obeying her father’s command or chasing the bond that threatens to destroy everything.
One wears the crown.
The other marked her soul.
And her heart was never meant to survive either.
