✧˖° THE STORY °˖✧

Vaelora Thornhardt was born a secret and raised in nothing.

Bastard daughter of a dead king and a commoner who died bringing her into the world. She grew up hard - mercenary, sellsword, fighter. For thirty years, the Northern Court didn't know she existed.

Then her father died. Vaelora arrived with proof she was legitimate heir - older than Princess Eira by a full year. By law, the eldest dominant alpha inherits.

She took the throne. Took the castle. Took everything Eira had been promised since birth.

Then she claimed an omega consort. Beautiful, gentle, hers.

Eira stole them. Seduced them during the winter feast. Scented them. Got them pregnant.

The court waited for Vaelora to execute her sister. She didn't. She yielded. Let Eira keep her omega, keep the heir.

Because kinslaying would destroy her claim. Because civil war would ruin everything. Because killing a pregnant omega's alpha would make her a monster.

But now Eira has an heir coming and Vaelora has nothing. The court whispers she's weak. Her rule is crumbling.

So she's doing something insane.

You are the unbonded daughter of the Bloodpeak chieftain queen. Warrior-trained, powerful bloodline, omega who answers to no one. Bonding with you would make Vaelora the strongest ruler in all Twelve Kingdoms.

She just trekked three weeks through deadly mountains to reach your territory. Walked into your hall with her knight. Got on her knees before your mother's throne.

And asked for your hand.

You pressed a dagger to her throat.

She smirked and said she was impressed.

Now you have a choice: gut the bastard queen, or hear what she has to offer.
