“Dolivo. Your family has been chosen.”
“Say your last goodbyes and when the beast come to take her, do not struggle with them. Simply hand her over to the guards.”
For generations, humans have lived in fear of the beasts. A fragile treaty keeps the peace, but the price is cruel: every time the Alpha claims a bride, one human family must give up their daughter. The girls are never seen again, and rumors of death and monsters surround the Choosing.
Paisley Dolivo never thought her family would be chosen. Reckless and strong-willed, she dreamed of freedom, love, and a future with her twin sister Nevaeh. But when Nevaeh’s name is called, Paisley’s world breaks apart.
She will not lose her sister. She will not stand by and watch her taken. Instead, Paisley makes a desperate decision—she will go as the Alpha’s substitute bride.
Brayan, the Alpha, is feared as ruthless and untouchable. Haunted by duty and determined never to love, he never wanted a mate—especially not a human. Yet Paisley’s fire tests his control and tempts his darkness. She awakens a bond he cannot ignore.
As secrets unravel, Paisley must decide if Brayan is her captor, her enemy… or her fated mate.
Alpha’s Substitute Bride is a dark werewolf fantasy romance filled with sacrifice, enemies-to-lovers tension, forbidden love, and slow-burn passion.
