BOUND BY CONTRACT, CLAIMED BY THE ALPHAUpdated at Oct 9, 2025, 12:45
When her pack is slaughtered by rogues, 18-year-old Ember Hale is left with nothing — no family, no home, no future. Until she’s dragged before Alpha Lucian Veylor, the cold and feared Alpha King who rules the Northern Territories.Lucian doesn’t believe in mates. To him, they’re a weakness. But when he scents Ember, the bond snaps. Instead of claiming her, he makes her an offer:💍 “Marry me under contract. Give me an heir. In return, I’ll give you protection… and power.”Ember signs, vowing to never fall in love with the man who destroyed her freedom. But the bond is merciless. Every touch burns, every kiss consumes, and every night in his arms pulls her deeper into the mate bond she swore to resist.When Ember discovers she’s pregnant, the contract becomes a trap. And worse — enemies inside Lucian’s court will do anything to kill her unborn child… because it may be the heir destined to unite all the packs.
