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

I’m still bound by my wrists and my ankles, tied with ropes that have begun to shave blisters into my skin while I struggle to break myself free. Xander has grown tired of my attempts to rejection him. He’s added a tight fabric tie over my mouth, keeping me from even being able to mumble my rejection of this false Alpha.


He torments me at all hours of the night. I’ve gotten to at least skip my chores but I wouldn’t mind them now, tied up alone on my cellar cot, fighting my ropes while Xander is elsewhere, still prying through my mind and bringing me back to memories I wish I could I forget.


He enjoys when I had slapped Jaxson during my first day at the palace. He watches the anger fuel his brother but somehow still be so restrained on retaliating. I only know now that Jaxson had every right, and then some, to hit me back. I am more shocked that he hadn’t hurt me at all.
