Werewolf

The Sickly Alpha

by A. Woods

Blood and ashes. That was all Alia had ever known in the ruthless Bleakwood Pack.Born wolfless and burdened by the sins of her mother, Alia grew up beneath the weight of contempt. She had learned to endure the cruelty, the hunger, and the certainty that she would never be enough.Until her eighteenth birthday.That was the day her own father traded her away.To honor an eighteen-year-old peace treaty, Alia is sent into enemy territory as a disposable bargaining chip, destined to become the bride of the most feared Alpha in Ambervalley.Alpha Demetri.A ruthless man rumored to be confined to a wheelchair, slowly wasting away from silver poisoning and living on borrowed time.Alia arrives with bleeding hands and rags on her back, expecting to find a broken man.Instead, she finds a predator.Locked inside Demetri's private quarters, Alia soon discovers that the Alpha's apparent weakness hides something far more dangerous. And with only five days before she is forced to become his mate, every secret inside Ambervalley begins closing around her like a trap.Cold stone walls. Venomous glances. A man who watches her as though he already owns her.And a strange, inexplicable tension between them that Alia cannot understand—or escape.In Ambervalley, nothing is what it seems. Lies conceal deadly wounds, alliances are built on blood, and trusting the wrong person could cost Alia her life.She was sent there to become a sacrifice.But what if the Alpha she was meant to fear is the only one who can keep her alive?
