The Wolf King Knelt Before Me

Betrayed mate leverages a king's secret debt to dismantle a corrupt regime.

Julian shatters his mate bond with Sera and delivers her to Ronan, the Blackridge Wolf King, as a peace offering after the White Oak Pack collapses. At Frostfang Fortress, Sera recognizes Ronan as Nain, the boy she freed from a fighting pit years ago, prompting him to kneel before her vast army. Backed by his northern legions, she launches an investigation into intercepted correspondence, drugged evidence, and forged lineage records surrounding her father's death. The trail leads to Richard, the White Oak Wolf King, whose corruption she exposes by severing supply lines and revealing military payroll fraud, triggering mass defections.
