The Hunter’s Vow: A Contract Bride’s Curse
Nayko Ayasame
Elira Malven never proposed to Kael Rennar—yet the world believes she stole him from the princess.
When the legendary battle hero vanished during their engagement party, she became the villain, the schemer who lured him away. But the truth? She’s spent her life as her father’s pawn, a polished jewel trapped in a gilded cage. The perfect, composed Malven daughter—until one encounter shatters everything.
A chance meeting at the library awakens something primal inside her. Thane, an ordinary man with an extraordinary secret, ignites a fire she can’t control. And when the mate bond snaps into place, she discovers the impossible: she’s a hybrid—half human, half wolf.
But fate is cruel. By the time she realizes Thane is her true mate, it’s too late. She’s already bound by a contract marriage to Kael Rennar—a descendant of Wolfhunters, bred to slaughter her kind.
Now, Elira must choose: the life of duty she was raised for… or the mate who could destroy them both.
