Claimed by the Wolf

My fated mate just promised me to another Alpha.

I thought being the Beta's sister meant I was protected, but apparently, it just makes me the perfect bargaining chip. When tensions between our pack and Willow Grove threaten to explode into war, my brother's best friend-and our devastatingly handsome Alpha-decides I'm the solution.

Nox wants to ship me off to mate with our enemies' Alpha, a cold stranger who I know won't treat me well. It's for the good of the pack, he says. A necessary sacrifice to secure peace between our territories.

But fate has a twisted sense of humor.

The night before I'm supposed to leave, everything changes. The mate bond I've dreamed of my entire life finally snaps into place-with the one man I can never have. Nox feels it too, the electric pull that threatens to consume us both, but he's already given his word.

Now I'm trapped between duty and desire, caught in a web of pack politics and forbidden attraction. Nox is willing to break his own heart to honor the alliance, even if it destroys us both.

But some bonds are too powerful to ignore, and I'm done being anyone's sacrifice.
