Rejected by the Heir, Claimed by the Lycan King 01

Elinor, a "wolfless Omega," is publicly abandoned at the altar by her fiancé, Braden Blackwood. To save her pack and honor, she audaciously demands a replacement, choosing the Lycan King, Kaelen Blackwood, as her husband. Initially viewing their union as a cold, political reparation, Elinor quickly establishes her authority within the Blackwood Pack, facing down disrespectful servants and the Gamma Female, Francesca. Kaelen, a ruthless and ancient Lycan, supports her, revealing Braden is not his biological son and giving Elinor free rein to "break him." Elinor confronts her father, Joseph Thorne, who disowns her, but Kaelen intervenes, publicly humiliating the Thorne family. Elinor discovers her stepmother, Beatrice, stole her inheritance. After an incident where Elinor's private, critical thoughts about Kaelen are overheard, he tests her loyalty by giving her control of the Pack's finances. Elinor confronts Beatrice, exposing her theft and demanding restitution, solidifying her power as Kaelen's ruthless Queen.
