The Wolf Lord's Cursed Bride - A Fated Mates Wolf Shifter Forced Proximity Enemies to Lovers Dark Fantasy Romance #981850

She was sent to his court as tribute. She was never supposed to matter.
When Saoirse Callahan crosses into Aethermoor as political currency — the last surviving heir of a rebel clan, offered to the Wolf Lord in exchange for her people's survival — she expects contempt. She expects a cage. She does not expect the most feared sovereign in the known kingdoms to look at her like she is the answer to a prayer he stopped allowing himself to speak.

Aldren Morrow is dying.

The curse is not a weapon. It is a door. Only she can open it.
And only if she chooses to
