The Alpha I Choose

His hand hovered close to my jaw, held back until I said yes. I hauled him down hard to me, the mating bond burning sharp between our bones.
“You know what this means.” Darian’s growl rumbled against my cheek.
“I know exactly what I want,” I breathed. “Kiss me. Don’t make me beg for it.”
I arrive at the Royal Pack’s wolf-royal court carrying only a bitter memory and quiet rage for my sister. Claire, once a palace seamstress, was destroyed by Prince Rowan Vale, hushed by his mother Sabine, and buried under a lie that shame killed her. No plea reached Queen Elinor, and no one was held accountable.
I have no rare wolf gift or secret noble blood. I take a menial laundry servant’s post, determined to avenge Claire. I creep through the court’s petty cruelties to earn a place in the gown chambers, where I meet Darian Vale, the queen’s conflicted brother. A fated mate bond sparks between us, but I view it as a trap. I will not stay hidden to protect his family’s name.
I rise to become Queen Elinor’s personal attendant and bond with other palace outcasts. Yet every step closer to power makes my hunt for the truth more dangerous. I uncover a devastating secret: Darian knew Claire, and what he knows could break the fragile thing blooming between us. When private justice fails, I lay every awful truth of Claire’s fate before the Pack Assembly.
This is no crown tale. I fight not to rule, but to make the court notice its forgotten servants. I will secure justice for Claire, and choose love, only on my own terms.
