The Cursed Alpha's Secret Wolfless Bride

From the back cover

For twenty years, I lived as the Thorne family's wolfless charity case, believing I was their orphaned cousin.

Then, they suddenly forced me to marry Alpha Enzo Barnes of the Black Moon Pack.

He was known as the cursed monster of the north, a bloodthirsty beast who had allegedly torn his last fiancée apart.

When I asked why their biological daughter Rosalie couldn't take this honor, Eleanor slapped me across the face.

"You are nothing but a stray we picked from the mud," she hissed.

I overheard their true plan. I wasn't family. I was just a disposable pawn they had raised for this exact moment, sent to die so Rosalie could safely marry the Alpha Prince.

On my wedding night, the monstrous Alpha nearly strangled me to death before his guards finally subdued him with silver chains.

The Thornes were miles away, celebrating their cleverness, entirely certain they had sent a helpless lamb to the slaughter.

They thought I would cower in the dark, crying over my broken life until the beast finally finished me off.

But they had no idea who they had really sent into the rival pack's heart.

I wasn't a fragile stray. I was "Shadow," the leader of the kingdom's largest underground intelligence network.

Before I left, I extorted ten million dollars from my fake family as the price for my silence.

This marriage wasn't my tomb. It was an infiltration.
