Claimed by the Rival Alpha

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. I was nothing. An orphan who scrubbed floors and stayed invisible to survive. Then I saved a dying man in front of everyone, and my secret came out. Now Lady Cassia wants to own me. The village lord wants to sell me. And a dangerous alpha with golden eyes says I belong with his pack. Everyone wants the girl who can heal with a touch. Nobody wants me. When wolves attack and the manor becomes a prison, I have one choice—run into the forest with strangers, or stay caged forever. I choose freedom. But the pack isn't what I expected. They don't want to use my gift. They want to protect it. And their alpha, Kieran, looks at me like I'm more than just a healer. Like I'm his. The mate bond hits fast and fierce. One touch and I feel everything—his strength, his pain, his wolf howling for mine. He says I can choose to complete the bond or walk away. Except I can't walk away. Not when sick wolves need healing. Not when corruption spreads through the forest, turning healthy pack members into monsters. Not when the Goddess herself tells me I was made for this fight. Something dark is poisoning the land. Creating rogues. Destroying packs. And I'm the only one who can stop it. But that means going into the Old Lands. The cursed territory where no one returns unchanged. Kieran says he'll keep me safe. The pack swears to protect me. But the corruption is older than any of us. Smarter. Hungrier. It knows my name. It knows my fears. And it's waiting for me to step into its darkness. They say I'm Goddess-marked. That I carry divine light strong enough to burn away any evil. I hope they're right. Because the wolf I'm falling for just made me his mate. And if I fail, everyone I love dies screaming. No pressure.
