Frost King's Shadow Bride

"You're beautiful when you're dangerous," he murmured, ice-blue eyes burning into mine as shadows writhed around my feet. "I don't need another Alpha who thinks he owns me," I snapped, yet stepped closer, drawn by his raw power. His hand caught my wrist, thumb tracing the silver chain marks Magnus had left. "Who dared mark what's mine?" Heat pooled low in my stomach at his possessive words. "I'm not yours." "Your racing pulse says otherwise." His thumb found my heartbeat, and I couldn't suppress the soft gasp that escaped. "Let go," I breathed, even as I leaned into his touch. "Make me." His other hand slid to my waist, pulling me against his hard chest. "Tell me you don't want this." The lie died on my lips as his scent made my head spin with need. *** Nephele survived two years as Magnus's captive Luna, believing she was wolfless trash. While enduring his brutality, her blood was secretly harvested by Ophelia—the woman who raised her. When she finally escapes, she learns the truth: she's the last Shadow Wolf princess, stolen as a baby. Now both want their valuable weapon back. Half-dead in the forest, she's saved by Kaedan—the boy who once gave her an apple, now the ruthless Frost King. She won't trade one prison for another, but his touch sets her on fire and his protection feels dangerously like home. Can a broken girl trust the king who could destroy her completely?
