Scarlett Gillespie is not a princess, not a noble bride, and not a woman raised for a throne. She is an eighteen-year-old wolf-maiden from quiet Rosario Vale, trained to tend herbs, obey her father, and trust that her family would never trade her future for peace.
Then Crownfang riders arrive with an oath-stone bearing her name.
Promised at birth to Roman Novak, the feared Alpha King of Crownfang, Scarlett is taken from the only home she knows and delivered to a palace ruled by blood law, wolf hierarchy, and ancient bargains. If she refuses the Royal Mating Alliance, Rosario Vale may fall. If she accepts, her body, her wolf, and her freedom may belong to a king she has never chosen.
Roman is everything Crownfang whispers he is: ruthless, controlled, powerful enough to make the court lower its throat. Yet when Scarlett stands before him, he does not touch her. He protects her without claiming her, watches her as if she is both temptation and threat, and carries a secret curse that reacts to her presence in ways neither of them understands.
In a palace where brides are treaties, innocence is inspected, and desire can become a weapon, Scarlett must decide whether Roman is her captor, her fated mate, or the only man strong enough to give her the choice everyone else stole.
The Alpha King's Virgin Bride is a royal werewolf romance filled with forced marriage tension, fated mates, forbidden desire, court betrayal, and a heroine who learns that love is only powerful when it is chosen.
Enter Crownfang Palace and discover the bride no Alpha can own.
