Marked By The Alpha, Claimed By The Lycan. The Cruel Alpha Mate Series, #2

Banished. Branded. Hunted. Two enemies may be her ruin.or her crown. When Elara Voss refuses to bow, her wolf refuses to kneel-and her first mate answers with a cruel shadow mark that burns across her skin. Cast out of Ironwood Pack, Elara flees with her fearful mother and little sister to Morrow Isle, the birthplace of old magic and older grudges. On the island, secrets wake. The mark is not a curse-it's a key.
It opens doors Elara never knew existed and calls to monsters that wear human faces. The Veilwood stalks at night. The sea howls like a living thing. And the isle whispers one truth: power wants a price. Elara's "safe" return turns dangerous fast when she collides with two men she should never want: Jace Valdyr, the Alpha's enforcer-half Lycan, all storm. Wild power. Wild mouth. A protector who trusts no one, not even himself.
Alpha Riven Valdyr, cold and razor-sharp. He commands with a glance.and he's promised to Elara's oldest friend for a deal that keeps the peace. They are brothers divided by duty. She is the spark that could burn their world-or bind it. The broken mate-bond rips at Elara's heart. The new pull to both men is worse. Want is a war she cannot win, and Morrow Isle loves a tragedy. But something hunts Elara in the dark: a force older than the packs, born from the same magic that marked her.
The island demands a sacrifice. The gates beneath the cliffs are opening. If Elara fails, the beasts of the deep will take everything she loves. Will the Alpha and the Lycan stand with her when the island calls in blood?Or will promises, pride, and old sins destroy her second chance before it begins?Perfect for readers who crave second-chance mates, forbidden love, Alpha/Lycan heat, forced proximity on a deadly island, and a heroine who refuses to break.
Dive in and let Morrow Isle keep you up all night.
