The Alpha’s Substitute Bride

Ava Reed, the eldest daughter of a fallen wolf clan, is branded worthless for being unable to shift — and is forced to take her sister's place as bride to Damon, the feared new Alpha of Blackwood Pack. Yet inside Blackwood Lodge, she finds warmth in Martha's motherly love and earns the cold Alpha's respect with her quiet strength. When her Moon-Blessed Luna Blood begins reviving the fading pack, her parasitic family returns to claw at her. This time Ava refuses to back down — and with Martha and Damon beside her, she severs ties for good. The place once feared as a wolf den becomes her true home.
