Guarding The Alpha

About this story

Synopsis

"I was hired to protect the Alpha's bride. I wasn't supposed to end up in his bed." As an elite Silverfang bodyguard, my job description was simple: escort Lady Sera to the Ironwood estate, stand exactly two paces behind her chair, and maintain a flawless, unyielding mask of discipline while she finalizes her political marriage to Apex Alpha Caius. To the rest of the world, Caius is a ruthless, untouchable monarch carrying the heavy weight of his ancestral pack. But in the dark, behind closed doors, he is a frantic, anxious man suffocating under the pressure of a forced lineage-and he is completely, dangerously fixated on me. When a sudden blackout throws us together, my iron discipline snaps like a dry twig. One forbidden kiss tasting of cedarwood and rain is all it takes to commit absolute treason against our packs. But the shadows in the Ironwood estate are not empty. Our forbidden romance wasn't a reckless accident; it was a highly calculated trap. My own pack orchestrated the entire marriage arrangement to use me as a psychological weapon and dismantle the Ironwood bloodline from the inside out. Caught in the crossfire of a bloody pack war, I have to make the ultimate choice: complete the ruthless mission my elders bred me for, or commit true treason to protect the terrified, beautiful Alpha who just gave me his heart. *Warning: Contains mature themes, explicit M/M heat, intense violence, and heavy psychological suspense.*
