The Barren Wolf: Claimed by the Alpha King

Beast of the Heart is a captivating tale of resilience, love, and transformation set in a world
where shifters rule and humans struggle under their dominion. At its core is Serena, a young
woman marked by her inability to shift and her barrenness, defects that render her an
outcast in her village and a burden to her family. Sold into servitude by her own father to
settle a tax debt, Serena is thrust into the imposing castle of Alpha King Darius, a ruler
feared for his cruelty and shrouded in mystery. Her only solace lies in the stories she
weaves, tales of hope and magic that have long been her escape from a world that deems
her worthless.
When Serena is chosen to serve a monstrous guest, she expects a fate worse than death.
Instead, she finds an unlikely ally in the beast, whose grotesque form hides a soul yearning
for connection. Through nights filled with stories and riddles, Serena discovers her own
strength and the beast’s hidden truth, challenging the rigid hierarchies of their world. As
secrets unravel and a curse comes to light, Serena’s courage and compassion become the
key to breaking chains—both her own and those of the kingdom.
Blending fantasy, romance, and the power of storytelling, Beast of the Heart explores the
beauty of seeing beyond appearances and the transformative power of love that defies
expectations. Serena’s journey from a rejected daughter to a queen who reshapes a
kingdom invites readers to question what makes us truly whole and to find hope in the
stories we tell ourselves.
