SCARRED ALPHA, STOLEN BRIDE

<p><strong>She was sent to marry him. She was sent to kill him. Nobody warned her she'd fall.</strong></p><p> </p><p>For a hundred years, one law has kept two rival wolf bloodlines from tearing the valley apart: every generation, a bride is handed over as the price of peace. This year, the bride is Maren Vale — the niece nobody will miss, the spare daughter raised in a kennel yard and spent like a coin.</p><p><strong>What her uncle never told her: the wedding is an execution. And Maren is the weapon.</strong></p><p>Because Maren carries a secret that would get her drowned by either pack. Silver — the one thing that can kill a wolf — has never once burned her skin. And the scarred alpha she's been ordered to destroy is dying slowly of the very poison she was born to hold.</p><p>Severin Kovar hasn't worn his wolf in seven years. Silver in his blood locked the beast inside him the night his father was murdered under a truce banner. He rules two hundred wolves on will and violence alone — until an enemy bride kills a wolf with her bare hands on his road and the mate bond he can never allow roars awake in his chest.</p><p>He should send her back. He should let her run. Instead, he carries her over his own boundary and claims her under old law — and starts a countdown neither of them will survive alone.</p><p>They have seven nights until the wedding. A traitor behind the gate. A rival warlord who wants Maren for himself. And a bond that could either save them both — or pour his death straight into the one woman it can't kill.</p><p><strong>If you love the pull of a fated bond that's forbidden by blood, you'll devour this one.</strong> <em>Scarred Alpha, Stolen Bride</em> delivers everything the genre promises and refuses to blink:</p><p>⬥ A <strong>wounded, dominant alpha</strong> who protects with his whole ruined body and can't say the words<br/>⬥ A <strong>sharp, unbreakable heroine</strong> who stops being handed off and starts handing herself — straight down the enemy's throat<br/>⬥ <strong>Enemies-to-mates</strong> tension across rival packs, forced proximity, and a slow burn that finally, absolutely, catches fire<br/>⬥ Pack politics, a buried conspiracy, and a treaty written in blood<br/>⬥ A single, standalone story with a <strong>guaranteed happily-ever-after</strong> — no cliffhanger, no waiting</p><p>This is Romeo and Juliet with claws.
