One discarded bride. One broken Alpha. One blood feud that could burn the city to the ground. Chloe Vance was never meant to be a Queen. As the "disposable" daughter of a dying Hunter dynasty, she was exiled to the wilds and forgotten—until her family needed a sacrificial lamb. To settle a decades-old blood debt, she is forced into a marriage treaty with the most feared man in Holloway City: Silas Sterling. They told her he was a monster. A crippled, dying beast hidden in the shadows of a corporate empire. But Silas is no invalid. He is a predator, an Alpha haunted by a past he cannot forgive, seeking vengeance against the very bloodline Chloe carries. Caught between a husband who claims her as his property and a mysterious rival billionaire who promises her freedom, Chloe must use her forgotten Hunter instincts to survive. In a house built on lies and silver, can a pawn become the King's true mate? Or will the secrets of her mother’s death be the final blow that shatters the fragile peace?
