THE BINDING OF WOLVES: A PARANORMAL FANTASY ROMANCE.
V CRIMSON
🐺 The Binding of Wolves 🐺
She was handed over at the border like a treaty. She left as something no one had a name for.
Briar Ashvane has spent twenty-four years being the wrong kind of wolf — wolfless in a shifter clan, useful enough to keep but never quite enough to belong. When her father brokers a desperate peace with the Vael pack — their ancient enemy — Briar is the price. Delivered to Cael Vael, a cold silver-eyed Alpha who has spent years dismantling his father's brutal legacy one controlled decision at a time, she expects politics. Endurance. Careful survival.
She doesn't expect the moment their hands clasp at the border and something beneath her skin cracks open. ✨
She reads his territory better than his own wolves can feel it. ⚔️ He watches her dismantle his enemies using nothing but sixty years of memorised law. Together they find a dead zone in his pack magic — a place where there is no clan, no history, no performance. Just two people who keep reaching for each other anyway.
But Cael's cousin Mordecai wants the treaty dead and Briar with it. And the magic awakening in her hands — a lost between-wolves binding thought extinct for four centuries — is the one variable no one planned for. Not Mordecai. Not the elder council. Not Briar herself.
