Substituted Mate of the Lycan King

Elowen has always been an outsider in the Ebonreach Pack. As an adopted orphan, born without a wolf—or so everyone believes—she’s endured years of scorn and rejection. Her dreams of becoming a Healer are dismissed by the pack’s rigid traditions. On the day she discovers her beloved old slave wolf is gravely ill, she also finds her boyfriend in bed with her sister. Her adoptive family, clinging to their faded beta status, forces her to take her sister’s place in an arranged marriage with Rylan—a disgraced Rogue returning to the pack after being banished. Rylan is everything she didn’t expect: handsome, brooding, protective, and strangely supportive. As Elowen battles vindictive rivals like Lenora, who spreads vicious rumors, and the envious Amara, who’ll stop at nothing to see her fail, she begins to unravel Rylan’s secrets. Why does he watch her so closely? Why does he risk everything to defend her, yet keep her at arm’s length in their hollow marriage?
