Why these tropes fit

Princess Aurora, promised in an arranged marriage, defies expectations by sparing a young werewolf at a cruel fighting spectacle, drawing the attention of a powerful wolf alpha. He kidnaps her and carries her north beyond the border to unite the warring werewolf clans against the humans. Though he sees her as leverage in the war, their forced proximity kindles a forbidden attraction as Aurora discovers not all wolves are monsters and the alpha realizes she faces danger from enemies and friends alike amid the raging human-wolf conflict.
