My stepsister fled her arranged marriage, and my family forced me to take her place.
On my wedding night, my fated mate rejected me before the entire Pack. Before dawn, Lucas Thorne had made me his bride, branded me as his slave, and sworn I would never escape.
For six months, they tried to break me.
Then King Soren arrived.
They called him the Mad King—a merciless Alpha feared by every Pack. I should have run from him. Instead, I stepped into his path and asked him to set me free.
He answered by placing a royal claim on my neck.
Now Lucas is willing to start a war to reclaim me, while the mate who rejected me begs for another chance. But at Soren’s side, my wolf is healing, my family’s secrets are coming to light, and I finally have the power to make my enemies pay.

“You’re choosing hell with me,” Soren warned, his teeth grazing the unfinished mark.
I tilted my throat toward him. “Then let it burn.”
They called him the Mad King.
They called me broken.
Soon, they would learn there were two monsters on the throne—and neither of us had come to forgive.
