Married to the Hidden Lycan King
READING AGE 18+
Elara Vance, abused and overlooked by her wealthy family, is sold into marriage to pay off their debts. Her buyer: Fenris, the hidden king of the Lycan realm, who wants her only as a blood-contract to break a curse he carries — not as a wife.
Taken to his hidden kingdom, Elara is showered with luxury but frozen out emotionally, an unwanted human queen among wolves who despise her. Slowly, forced proximity turns hostility into tension, tension into desire — Fenris realizes she's his true mate but fights it out of pride. Their bond deepens through political danger, court sabotage, and growing protectiveness on his part.
Just as things stabilize, Elara's family returns to black Fenris with a secret about her true lineage — then tries to poison her to start a war. She nearly dies.
