She Pulled the Sword From the Stone. The Alpha King Said, "Only My True Mate Can Free It."

"She Pulled the Sword From the Stone. The Alpha King Said, 'Only My True Mate Can Free It.'" Aerin Vashara is a horse trainer from the lowlands who has no interest in the Festival of Proving or the legendary sword that supposedly identifies the Alpha King's fated mate. She's at Stormbreak Fortress for one reason — deliver six stallions, collect her payment, and ride home before the coastal storms hit. She didn't plan to be anywhere near the ceremonial terrace. She definitely didn't plan to grab the sword to keep from falling when a child knocked her sideways into the stone pedestal. But the blade slides free like it's been waiting for her. The crowd goes silent. And the Alpha King standing on the dais above says five words that change everything: "Only my true mate can free it." What follows is a bond that manifests as warmth — heat that blooms when they're close and fades to cold when they're apart. A lord who refuses to accept that a commoner could be chosen over his daughter. And a woman who never wanted destiny but is starting to realize that the warmth spreading through her bones isn't something she can ride away from. When Aerin stands before the full court and lets the bond speak for itself, she doesn't just silence the doubters. She claims a future she never knew she wanted — with a king who spent every festival terrified the sword would never choose, and a love that started with a stumble and ended with a fire that nothing could put out.
