The Wolf and The Wilted Rose

Unilia.Nanc Romance

In the kingdom of Silvani, year 83, the Alaric dynasty reigns supreme.
Fionia Nauven is the youngest daughter of House Nauven - discarded, forgotten, living alone in a secluded annex. While her sister Lanivia is adored as the family's jewel, Fionia is treated as a threat, a spare piece to be ignored.
Elvan Alaric, the Crown Prince, is known throughout the realm as a cold-blooded wolf. Beautiful, powerful, and lethally dangerous - no one dares stand within three seconds of him, for fear their head might "wobble." He wants no family, no Empress, no heir.
When the ducal lottery is drawn for a royal marriage to secure the Alaric bloodline, House Nauven is chosen. The entire family celebrates - until Lanivia refuses to marry the wolf.
So they remember the piece they threw away.
Fionia is sent in her sister's place. Mocked by her own blood, she leaves without a single tear. Freedom, she thinks, even if it is inside a cage owned by a wolf.
On the wedding night, her husband does not appear. He buries himself in his office, as expected. Fionia showers, changes into comfortable clothes, and sleeps peacefully - ignoring the pity of the maids.
She lives quietly for a month, until one morning in the forgotten garden outside the Prince's office window.
For the first time, Elvan sees her - not in jewels, not weeping, but bathing in sunlight, touching his dead roses as if they were still alive.
Something inside the lone wolf snaps. Not love at first sight, but obsession. Control. The overwhelming need to overpower that calm, independent aura that dares to be comfortable in his domain.
He does not know yet that the elegant woman in his garden is his wife - the wife his father drew from a lucky box.
He thinks she is a stranger trespassing. She thinks her husband will never find her.
And in Silvani, a wolf never lets go of what he decides is his.
