Levi Harrison has been happy with his peasant life. It wasn't much, but he had a good relationship with his parents, all his needs were taken care of running errands around town, and he's been able to socially transition without much issue.
Prince Martin must marry before he can rule as king, though he doesn't want his marriage to be strictly political. The problem is nobody has caught his eye. That is, until he sees one human who stirs up more than his interest.
Unfortunately, Prince Martin has quite a reputation as The Hellion Prince and nobody in their right mind wants to be tied to him for life. Levi must accept the arranged marriage Prince Martin and King Arric are trapping him in once the king takes matters into his hands.
All Levi can do is accept his fate and hope The Hellion Prince isn't half as bad as he appears in the public eye.
Engaged to the Wolf Prince is a 3.8k word story exploring the arranged marriage between a spoiled prince and a reluctant human. End ID.
