She Took the Princess's Place Because No One Would Miss Her—The Alpha King Wouldn't Let Go

She Took the Princess's Place Because No One Would Miss Her—The Alpha King Wouldn't Let Go

Ailsa Thornbeck has spent her whole life being close enough. Close enough to pretty, close enough to noble bearing, close enough to be noticed but never remembered. So when a seneschal with a copper chain-of-office offers her a deal she cannot refuse, she takes it. Wear a princess's clothes. Memorize her speeches. Sit in her chair at the Alpha King's summit for three days while the real Lady Emira travels safely by another route. Three days of borrowed silk and rehearsed conversations, and then she disappears with enough coin to buy the land she has been dreaming about. She thinks she can play the part and walk away clean.

She does not know that the moment Varen Blackmere, Alpha King of the Northern Packs, walks into his own great hall and his eyes find hers across the room, something ancient and irreversible locks into place between them. She does not know that the bond she feels pulling behind her ribs, the one that keeps veering her entire sense of direction toward him, is not part of the disguise. It is real. And it chose her, not the name she is wearing. When he tells her she has a crack in her chest that matches his, when she kisses him on a rain-soaked balcony and hears him whisper the wrong name against her mouth, she realizes that three days was never going to be enough. Because the truth is already unraveling, and so is she.

What Ailsa does not yet understand is that the man who hired her did not choose her because she looked like a princess. He chose her because she was expendable. The threat against Lady Emira was real. And Bertram Sorley needed a living target in that chair, someone whose disappearance would cost him nothing. But the Alpha King's bond does not care about political calculations. It cares about the woman underneath the borrowed surcoat. The woman who chose to tell the truth before it was too late, who stood in a council chamber in someone else's shoes and said her own name out loud, even though it meant losing everything. Some women spend their whole lives being the substitute. This one decides she is done.
