The Three Serpents Didn’t Want Me, the Fox Picked Me Up

Alaric Ashford rescued three dying snake shifters, only to watch them abandon him for his dazzling younger brother, Dorian.

As his family forces him toward an arranged marriage, Alaric secretly plans his escape, turning a fake wedding into chaos. Years later, he returns stronger and finally free—while the family that underestimated him is falling apart.
