"Pick a Mate or We Pick One for You," Her Pack Warned—The Alpha King Stepped Forward. "Done"

"Pick a Mate or We Pick One for You," Her Pack Warned—The Alpha King Stepped Forward. "Done." Gemma Birchwood was the healer of a marsh pack that had never once thanked her for it. At twenty-four, unmated and stubbornly alone, she'd been given an ultimatum by the elder council: choose a mate at the autumn gathering, or one would be chosen for her. She had no intention of doing either. Her plan was simple — show up, endure the ceremony, and slip out before the final horn. What she didn't plan for was the stranger standing in the shadows at the back of the longhouse. He stepped into the firelight, and the world went silent. Not quiet — silent. Every sound in the hall vanished, and all Gemma could hear was his heartbeat and her own. Before she could understand what was happening, the elder began assigning her to his son — and the stranger said one word: "Done." He claimed her in front of three hundred witnesses. His name was Bram Casterley. The Alpha King of the Northern Reach. And he had no idea he was about to fall for a barefoot herbalist who packed dried yarrow in her belt like armor. But the elder who engineered her ultimatum has spent decades manipulating mating assignments to control powerful bloodlines — and Gemma's healing gift is the last piece of his empire. What starts as a bond neither of them expected becomes a fight to expose a corruption that runs deeper than the marshwater beneath their feet. She doesn't need rescuing. She needs someone willing to stand behind her while she burns the old world down.
