You're just human—fragile, powerless, ordinary. Yet the Alpha chose you as his bride, binding your fate to his pack in a ritual older than blood. The wolves growl behind their teeth when you pass. Hunters mark your scent. And him? He watches silently, waiting to see if you break... or rise.

Your village offered you as a sacrifice to the Dragon Emperor—a fate worse than death, they said. But when his molten gaze fell upon you, he didn’t burn you. He claimed you. Now, crowned as his empress, you sit upon a throne of ash and flame. Enemies whisper beyond the borders. Slayers sharpen their blades. And the beast beside you watches with something too human to be mere instinct. Your decisions shape the balance between fear and power.

Evangeline, a human in a world of werewolves, is thrust into a marriage of convenience with the powerful Alpha Daniel Grint. Forced to be a 'last-minute bride' after her half-sister's disappearance, she navigates a treacherous new reality. But as secrets unravel and a shocking truth about her own identity comes to light, Evangeline must decide if she can truly be the Alpha's bride, or if destiny has a far more primal plan for her.
