Betrayed by my lover, Abandoned by my sister, abducted by a wolf pack and finally playing the role of a substitute bride to the king of Bazil. I swore to make him reject me and send me back to my kingdom. **** In Astral, my twin sister and I were born into a life of a princess bound by blood and kingdom. But when the ruthless King of Bazil demanded a bride, and our family was selected, only one of us could answer his call. My sweet twin sister was chosen, leaving me free to marry the man I loved. But fear seized her, and in the dead of night, she vanished, leaving me with nothing but the shattered remains of our duty. Before I could make sense of her disappearance and plan my own escape, a pack of wolves abducted me, tormenting me for a murder I’d never committed. The alpha claimed me as his mate, marking me as his possession. But I escaped, scarred but alive, determined to return to Astral and reclaim what little was left of my life. But when I returned, I found a nightmare waiting. With Loveth still missing, my family had no choice but to offer me as the substitute bride. Now, I am to be married to King Korvus of Bazil—a man I despise, a fate I never wanted. On my way to Bazil, I swore to make his life a living hell, force him to reject me, and find my way back to the life that was taken from me. Not until I realized that I might have met my ultimate match in the dark and formidable King Korvus. Will my determination be enough to break free, or will I find myself ensnared in a destiny I never chose?

When life gives you lemons, make a lemonade…. Esme believed in this saying for as long as she could remember. These words gave her the strength and courage to live each day as it comes until she eventually became tired of making those lemonades and wished for something else. Something—different. But that only seemed wishful thinking. Born as a noble and made an orphan after a rogue attack, Esme became the unwanted pack member of NightCrawler Pack. The once daughter of an alpha became nothing but a slave who answers to the new alpha’s family’ every beck and call. The pack that had once adored her now ridiculed her and laughed at her mistreatment and misery. They seemed to have forgotten how her family had fought for the safety of the pack and the kingdom and even lost their lives for them. But in all this, Esme remained silent. Silently enduring and hoping that one day, her knight in shining armor would come and rescue her. That he will show up one day and take her away from the once happy place that has now become her hell. When that day eventually came, she was rejected without a second thought, and she watched as her world came crashing. Hard. Her heart caved in and lost all hope of ever finding happiness again. Or even leaving the pack. After all, what could a wolfless shifter do? Amidst her misery, a ray of light appeared. She was blessed with a second chance mate. One whose outstretched hand she was hesitant to take, especially after knowing who he was.
