THE BIKER ALPHA'S CURSED BRIDEUpdated at Aug 6, 2026, 00:31
I've never shifted. Not once, not in twenty-two years, not since the night my mother died and left me nothing but her name and a wolf that refuses to wake up. My stepmother calls me the Broken One when she's being kind. My father calls me collateral, now that his debts to the Duskrail Riders have finally come due.He's paying it with my hand in marriage. Not to some low-ranked enforcer. To Torin Wilder himself — the Alpha who runs Duskrail's chapter like a blade runs an edge, cold and exact and utterly without patience for a bride who can't even shift to save her own life at the ceremony that's supposed to bind us.I expected him to be cruel. I did not expect him to look at me like I'm a puzzle he can't solve, or for something in my chest to finally, terrifyingly wake up the first time his hand closes around mine at the altar — a heat under my skin that has no business existing in a wolf who was never supposed to have one.Someone built this marriage on purpose. Someone wanted a Broken Wolf bound to Duskrail's Alpha specifically, and it wasn't my father, whatever he thinks his debt bought.My mother's bloodline was never as dead as everyone assumed. Neither, it turns out, was I.Now I have a curse breaking loose inside me I don't understand, a husband who's starting to feel like the first true thing in my life, a stepfamily that will use whatever I become against me, and someone inside Duskrail itself who's been waiting years for exactly this moment to make their move.I came into this marriage as a debt paid in blood.I don't intend to leave it as anyone's currency but my own.
