The Laurel Pact — The Alpha’s Contract Bride

Hunted by both werewolves and her own guild, demon hunter Raven Laurel stumbles into the hotel suite of Alaric Gray, a cursed former Alpha King. One drugged, moonlit night binds them together—but by morning, Raven is gone, leaving only cash and a laurel bracelet behind. When assassins force her to hide as a maid inside Gray Manor, Raven discovers that Alaric is searching for the mysterious woman from that night. Her jealous stepsister Sophie steals Raven’s necklace and claims her identity, while Alaric begins to suspect that the sharp-tongued maid hiding under his roof is both his missing woman and a dangerous hunter. Their attraction becomes impossible to deny when an ancient Moon Goddess pact marks them as fated mates. But their bond also exposes a conspiracy linking the Werewolf Council and the Hunter Guild. Alaric’s usurping brother, Julian, has been using suppressants to weaken wolves, seize the throne, and hunt Raven for the divine blood inherited from her mother. Even Raven’s supposedly traitorous partner, Paul, may have risked everything to protect her and uncover the truth about her parents. Branded traitors by both races, Raven and Alaric must fight side by side, expose Julian’s crimes, and survive a war designed to destroy them. If they win, their forbidden pact could end centuries of bloodshed. If they fail, Julian will control both hunters and wolves—and Raven’s blood will become his ultimate weapon.
