The Thunderforge Alpha's Contract Bride Novels & Stories

Marcellus added smoothly, “he will then fulfill his duty to the realm by taking his true fated mate, Lady Chelsea, as his wife, allowing them to use the artifact together to protect us all.” My chest squeezed painfully. No. “Or…” Marcellus’s smile widened as he turned slightly, his gaze sliding toward Thorin and then back to me, “Lord Thorin defeats Alpha Hector.” The room went still again. “And as the stronger, rightful Alpha,” he continued, “he will claim his fated mate… Luna Ivonne.” My breath hitched and I began to feel dizzy.

His silver eyes met hers, storm-dark, blazing with everything he couldn’t say in front of witnesses. “Never,” he said, voice cutting through the noise like a blade. “I have a bride. She sits beside me. She bears my mark. She fought for this pack when half of you spat on her. There will be no other.” Silence fell, thick, electric. Thorne cleared his throat. “Alpha… the council must consider...”

My eyes lowered instinctively to the ending written in fine print. “–and that Luca the son of Alpha Ferguson would take Valerie, the daughter of Alpha Darren as his mate–” I felt a lump form in my throat. My stomach tightened as it sank in. It was a contract. A fucking contract marriage!

“Crystal… is no longer rogue.” A murmur rippled through the council. “She’s joined the Shadow Blood pack,” Trevor added, voice sharp. “And not just joined. She’s the fated mate of Thorne, son of Marvin and… their new Alpha.” Gasps escaped their lips . One of the elders, an elderly woman with silver hair tied back in braids, stood up. “Are you certain?” I nodded. “Our scouts saw it themselves. She’s there clear and open.” Elder Jareth stepped forward, face hard. “Then this isn’t just personal anymore. This is strategy.”

I asked, raising my brows in defense. “He’s Draven. And you’re….you. Plus, he’s not the type to just… hug,” he said, narrowing his eyes. Anton was very smart. “Not everyone saw us,” I said, shrugging trying to change the topic. “Doesn’t matter. The ones who saw it are probably telling the other Alphas, hence, gossip about this temporary truce through marriage will be known soon.” “Well, a Thornshade girl and the Almighty Alpha of Ironfang are married. It has a nice ring to it,” I said, smiling. “I’ll be right back with him,” I said, taking Lior to Draven.

“Control your rage. Channel it. Let them feel the weight of your bloodline, but do not let it consume you entirely.” I nodded, though inside, the anticipation coiled tighter than any leash. My transformation was complete, my mastery of the Thunderstorm craft absolute, and my heart pulsed with the thrill of what was to come. The world had not yet seen the full force of Alina Bloodburn, the Mega Alpha wolf, daughter of Cercie Bloodburn, heir of the Thunderstorm Empire, The New Lady ThunderStorm. I stepped forward, the forest beneath me trembling as my claws met the soil. The moon reflected in my eyes, silver and unflinching, as I raised my massive head and howled, long, deep, and full of promi

A sudden vision of his mate bleeding in a rogue ditch filled his mind, and he smashed his fist through the wooden table. "Alpha." "Track the wind," Thorne spat at Rorik. "Bring me his location." "The show-wolf," Thorne called out as the warrior turned. "The Frostvale male. Winry." "The silver club dancer?" "He spoke of him during the first coupling. He said the Frostvale den was his only alternative if the slums failed him."

Alpha king announced again. Alpha Cougar also had a proud smile on his face. No one knew but he was told to welcome the girl into his pack with open arms as she would bring peace and good luck to the pack. That was the reason he had been lying to his wife all along and sent his sons to the Ice Crest pack to bring Sora to his pack. After all, no one was aware that Alpha Cougar married Cerci, Sora's mother, just to get Sora in his pack. Otherwise, he had no use for Cerci and Solana in his pack. But of course, he couldn't let anyone know all this. It was a secret between him and “HER!”

said the elder in the gathering. I let out a short chuckle as some of them had finally shown their aims. Some of them have made deals and even signed a contract with the Alphas of those packs to mark their daughters as my bride, but little do they know evidence is ready and pointing at every one of them that betrayed the pack for their aims. “Every one of you should name the pack that we can build an alliance with. After all, you all are the elders of the pack and could see far beyond what I can see at times.”

“She looks familiar.” I didn’t know who said it, but the words landed anyway. The massive doors to the Alpha’s hall opened before we reached them. Inside, the council was assembled, elders lining the hall on both sides. At the far end stood the Alpha of Blackwood, older than I expected. Thorne stepped forward and dropped to one knee. “I return with what was lost,” he said, his voice steady. “The daughter of our Alpha.” Every single eye turned to me. For a moment, my feet refused to move. Doubt surged, terrifying. I wasn’t ready. I didn’t even know how to exist inside this truth yet.
