The Wolfless Bride My Sister Ran, the Alpha Wanted Me

Born wolfless and treated like a live-in maid by her cruel stepmother and father, Nora Vance never stood a chance at a decent life in her pack. On her older sister Delilah’s wedding day, the bride bails on Frostfang Alpha Ronan Grey — the coldest, most feared wolf leader in the North. To save the family alliance, Nora’s father shoves her into the wedding dress and ships her off as a stand-in bride. The entire pack mocks her as a worthless replacement… until the moonstone ring slides onto her finger. Out of nowhere, she can hear Ronan’s inner thoughts loud and clear. He never wanted Delilah. He’s spent eight years searching for the stranger who saved his life as a pup — and it was Nora all along. Her father crossed her name off the marriage contract years ago. Stoic and unreadable in public, Ronan quietly defends her from bullies and punishes anyone who disrespects his mate, all while hiding his true feelings to keep her safe. Then Delilah swaggers back, spinning a fake kidnapping story. Armed with Nora’s mother’s crescent locket, she poses as the “girl from the snow” who rescued young Ronan. The elders void Nora’s bond — but Ronan is one step ahead. He fakes banishing her to a border cabin to flush out the real villain. Stepmother Marion takes the bait. She locks Nora inside the cabin and sets it on fire to silence her for good. Ronan shifts into his massive black wolf, bursts through the flames, and saves her. The long-buried truth spills out: at 16, Nora pried open a silver trap with her bare hands to save a dying wolf pup, giving up her own wolf spirit to keep him alive. Her father stole her locket and erased her memory to cover it up. Marion won’t quit. She drugs Nora, steals her ring, and forces an early moonstone trial. Bound in silver chains, Nora is thrown into the frozen lake. To bring her back, Ronan rips the wolf spirit from his own soul to return it — a move that nearly tears him apart. Beneath the ice, Nora’s long-lost wolf awakens: the legendary Moonborn bloodline, with copper-red fur and a silver crescent mark across her chest. She shatters through the ice, leads the Frostfang pack to crush Marion’s rogue army, and marks Ronan as her mate to yank him back from death. At the final pack trial, every secret is laid bare: Marion conspired to kill Ronan’s parents and poisoned Nora’s mother; her father sold out the pack’s patrol routes; Delilah helped frame her every step of the way. All four get exactly what they deserve. On the night of the Blood Moon, Nora walks down the aisle in a dress made just for her, crowned the true Luna of Frostfang. From a scorned wolfless outcast to the most powerful she-wolf in the North, she reclaims everything that’s hers — and finally gets the fated love their souls have shared for eight years.
