Wolf King's Contract Bride

Sera catches her fiancé with her sister, then is framed by her own family. Alpha Darian claims her as his mate to break a curse—but she's just a tool. Heartbroken, she fakes her death and starts anew with a changed face. Two years later, Darian finds her, now seeing the truth: she was his true savior.

It runs 20 short episodes on Shortmax and leans on revenge, marriage drama and contract relationship tropes, with each episode ending on a hook.

The draw here is the slow build to a payback that lands hard. On top of that: a marriage that starts on the wrong foot and has to be earned.

At about 24–44 minutes in total, it's quicker to finish than most full-length series.
