The Virgin Wolf

Silas Vale inherits an Alpha's throne and a whispered "lust-curse" he refuses to repeat. Dodging a feral mating rite, he collides with Raena Duskborn-the fierce Alpha of a rival pack-first in a greenhouse, then by a river, where their chemistry shatters every rule.

Their Houses have bled for generations, each claiming the other started the war; Silas fears not Raena but the heat under his own skin. Politics sharpen at a ritual feast, Raena outshoots him at the archery trials, and at the Alpha Training Summit a haze snaps her control-she accidentally marks him in front of witnesses.

That single mark lights the fuse: alliances tilt, myths of the border war unravel, and both Alphas are forced to decide what strength really is-domination or restraint. To survive, they must rewrite a curse, face the truth behind their families' feud, and choose whether their bond ends a cycle of violence-or ignites a war neither pack can survive.
