Married to the Cold Alpha: His Replacement Bride

“Try not to look so disappointed, Alpha,” she began. “I may not be the bride you ordered, but I’m not exactly a sack of potatoes either.”



He glanced at her with a flicker of irritation—or amusement, she couldn’t tell.



“Debatable,” he muttered.



“Well, good news. I bite.”



“I don’t care,” he said flatly. “But if you’re smart, don’t play games with me.”



She smiled. “Why not? You already made me your pawn.”

Maurice King never expected to be married—not like this. One moment, she was a forgotten daughter, overshadowed by her stepsister Ruby. The next, she was standing at the altar, forced to take Ruby’s place as the bride of Alpha Kenneth Pierce, a man as cold and ruthless as the winter storms.



Kenneth doesn't want a wife. His heart was buried alongside his true mate years ago. To him, Maurice is nothing more than an obligation—a convenient arrangement to uphold his pack’s power. But as much as he tries to keep his distance, there’s something about Maurice’s quiet strength, her kindness, that cracks the ice around his heart.



Yet, love is dangerous in a world where betrayals lurk behind every shadow. And when a single lie threatens to tear them apart, Maurice is left with one question—will the Alpha who never wanted her fight to keep her?
