Night's Bride

Chosen to be one of the first sent to the northlands as a bride for a triad of monstrous Ragoru, Emily Duert was determined to keep an open mind and make the best out of an unknown situation. Although she heard much about the aliens, it was difficult to know what was rumor and what was fact. To further complicate matters, rather than a triad, she was mated to a pair of twins without an alpha between them. It wasn't what she was prepared for, and yet she was surprised to find that the males were attentive and endearing.

Truth be told, Vikt and Vrel were nothing like what she imagined Ragoru to be like. Quiet and shy, neither male was aggressive much less a monster whispered about by humans. Despite the challenges presented by not having an alpha in their family, Emily found love and comfort with her mates only for everything to be thrown into uncertainty with the arrival of a lone male in the midst of a snowstorm.

With the Withering Nights approaching, can she protect her family and her heart from an unknown male? Is it her fate as a midwinter night's bride to find her happy ever after in the northlands, or will it lead her to only pain and regret?
