Books Bride  by Ali Hazelwood

"Bride" by Ali Hazelwood is a paranormal romance set in a world where Humans, Weres, and Vampyres coexist, often with tension between the groups. The story centers around Misery Lake, a Vampyre who agrees to an arranged marriage with Lowe Moreland, the Alpha of the Werewolf pack. The marriage is a political alliance intended to unite the two species. Misery consents partly because her best friend Serena has gone missing, and she suspects Lowe might be connected to Serena’s disappearance.

As Misery moves into the Were territory, she struggles with feeling out of place but gradually develops feelings for Lowe. They form a bond while navigating palace intrigues, secrecy, and supernatural politics. A key plot revolves around Lowe's seven-year-old sister Ana, a Were-Human hybrid—a secret that could change everything. Misery’s father, who has been sowing discord between Weres and Vampyres, plays a dark role in the unfolding conflict and Serena's disappearance.
