A runaway bride.

A cold wolf guard who kept me alive.

Until I discovered he was the prince sent to hunt me—my fated mate.

Astra

They called me disposable.

Forced into a mating I never wanted.

So I ran—straight into the arms of a cold wolf guard.

Silent. Dangerous. Untouchable.

He saved me. Protected me. Stayed far too close.

And when blood spilled, his wolf snapped.

That’s when I learned the truth.

He isn’t my protector.

He’s the deadly prince sent to hunt me.

And worse… he’s my fated mate.

Lucian

Love was never mine to claim.

My life was duty—a throne, a political marriage, a kingdom waiting to chain me.

Then I was sent to hunt her.

Small. Stubborn. Reckless.

She should’ve been forgettable.

Instead, she made me fall.

Now nothing else matters.

Not the crown. Not the council. Not the enemies waiting.

She’s mine.

And I’d burn the kingdom to ash before anyone else touches her.
