The White Wolf's Bride

Orphaned at fifteen after a tragic fire claimed both of her parents, Sae was taken in by her uncle only to be reduced to little more than a servant in his household. Her difficult life takes an even more harrowing turn when a marriage proposal arrives for her younger sister, Chiyo. The suitor belongs to a race of beastmen widely feared and rumored to consume humans, prompting the family to force Sae into taking Chiyo's place as the bride to spare her favored sister from such a terrifying fate. Resigned to what she believes will be a grim destiny, Sae prepares herself to face a monstrous groom. However, upon finally meeting Souhaku—the white wolf destined to become her husband—she discovers a reality entirely unlike the horrifying legends she had been told. Rather than the savage, man-eating creature she anticipated, Souhaku reveals himself to be someone far different, challenging everything Sae believed about the beastmen and setting the stage for an unexpected new chapter in her life.
