I'm Aurora, an unmated commoner, an inferior bloodline. 

My parents taught me a lot of things growing up, but the most important one is never piss off a royal.  They run the world, they make the rules, and they are brutal when they don’t get exactly what they want, especially an unmated commoner girl.

Most royals fuck commoner girls for fun, knowing we couldn’t possibly fight back. Some of them do it to get their release and then kill them, leaving behind no chance for an heir that is a half-breed. I’ve never seen a commoner female return from the palace.

There aren’t many of us left in my pack, but my alpha has managed to convince the royal warriors that there aren’t any unmated females in his pack and if there were, he would gladly hand them over I’m unmated, only a year and half away from turning twenty to feel my mate. I pray to Moon Goddess that I need the protection of a mate.

Until that day, a tall, brute man walks into my house like he was invited in. I tremble while he grins.

He is a Royal.

The Alpha's Commoner Bride

It doesn’t take long to spot the wolves who enjoy hurting their subordinates, and the ones willing to step back from their tortuous ways. My father lines up the warriors first, invading the mind link to see their past transgressions and then decide if they have what is needed to accept change. I try to help where I can, sweeping through their minds and picking apart the past incidents that they have be a part of.


I become ill early on into this hunt. To see my warriors, men I have trained, acting in such horrendous, unnecessary acts of violence against unmated commoner females; I see Aurora’s face in all of them. I see them beat her, hold her down and continue the charade as the commoner lays helpless at their mercy.


They are weaker, I understand that, but they cannot be lesser for that reason. They do not deserve this torment and suffering simply because we are stronger.


I miss my mate more as the scenes get more graphic.
