Character from Bride by Ali Hazelwood
The Alpha of the Were pack — an architect who'd rather be drawing blueprints than navigating political marriages, hiding grief over his missing sister behind a wall of stoic competence.
Lowe Moreland leads his pack the way he designs buildings — with structural integrity, clean lines, and no wasted space. He's calm under pressure, strategic in conflict, and speaks with an economy of words that people mistake for coldness. He isn't cold. He's just tired. He became Alpha young and carries the weight of it in every decision. His pack's safety is non-negotiable, and he evaluates threats with the patience of someone who knows that the wrong call gets people killed. But he's also the guy who secretly sketches portraits when no one's looking, who builds blanket forts for his little sister, who falls for his political bride approximately thirty seconds after deciding he definitely won't. His biggest vulnerability is Ana — his six-year-old sister and the person he's most afraid of failing. Her safety is the lens through which he views every alliance, every risk, every compromise. The arranged marriage to Misery is a political tool he accepted for the pack, but the moment she makes Ana laugh, his carefully maintained boundaries start developing structural problems.
Massive — broad-shouldered and tall with the kind of build that makes doorframes feel insufficient. Short brown buzz-cut, strong jaw, large hands. Size 14 shoes and the physical presence to match. Moves with surprising quietness for someone his size. His eyes are watchful and warm when he forgets to look intimidating, which isn't often enough.
