The Lycan king’s Purple Flame
Human world rules are clear: stay away from the shadows. But to fulfill her dying wish before her secret heart failure takes her life, twenty-one-year-old Rhiannon smuggles herself into the forbidden werewolf kingdom of Vrykania. She never expected to spark a feral fated-mate connection with the legendary, 3,000-year-old Lycan King, Theron Vance—nor did she expect the royal court to erase her memories of the encounter.
Back in the human world, Rhiannon finds herself trapped under the suffocating watch of a fiercely attractive new part-time professor: Theron Vance himself, operating undercover as a billionaire campus benefactor to control her life. Rhiannon loathes his overprotective nature, completely unaware that he is her fated mate, or that his terrifying inner beast turns entirely meek in her presence.
But when a vicious campus betrayal ends in a night of reckless, carnal passion during the King's active rut, a dark web of secrets unravels. From a miraculous life-force tether that keeps her failing heart beating, to a cataclysmic awakening of forbidden witch powers,
Rhiannon is thrust into a corrupt supernatural war where the ancient prophecy demands a devastating price: the fated mate must slay the immortal King.

Chapter: Chapter Fourteen: Territorial.Rhiannon slid into an empty seat at the very back of the hall, staring down at her own trembling fingers like they belonged to someone else.‘She had slapped him.’Not just a push or a harsh word—she had actually raised her hand and struck a man who looked like he could snap an oak tree in half with his bare hands. Her brother's friend, or boss, or whatever he actually was to Devon — the specifics didn't matter right now. What mattered was that her hand had moved before her brain gave permission, and she still didn't understand why.‘Why the fuck did I do that?’She cowered in her chair, pulling her dark cardigan tight around her shoulders. But even tucked away in the corner of the lecture hall, she couldn't escape the side-eye glances and snickers directed at her.“Look at her pretending to study…”“Did you see her face when she walked in… swear she's been crying…”“I heard Julian is furious…”Her ribs throbbed with a dull ache. She hated this. She hated the eyes, the rumors, and th

Chapter: Chapter Thirteen: Blizzard.Theron gradually lifted his face.He was completely still. Even Acheron, who never stopped snarling, hadn't muttered a single growl.His jaw stung where her palm had connected, a foreign heat blooming across skin that hadn’t known pain in centuries.She slapped him.His mate slapped him.Because she was his mate, his soul had opened every layer of defense around her. She had slipped past his instincts, for he could never perceive her as a threat.For one second, something hot rose up his chest. His posture went rigid as his dark eyes met hers. But before the anger could even take root, he saw her face.Rhiannon was breathing in short hitches. Her small hand remained frozen in mid-air as her fingers trembled from the impact. Surprise flickered across her eyes. She couldn’t quite believe what her own body had just done. And the sight of his unreadable expression sent a wave of panic through her. Hot tears spilled over her lashes, tracing down her flushed cheeks before she could stop th

Chapter: Chapter Twelve: Five Fingers.Theron guided her toward the parking lot, one hand steady at the small of her back, and had barely gotten a single word out of her before the vermin appeared. Julian planted himself directly in their path, blocking the way, with a tight jaw. His face was flushed red, his boyish charm was now replaced with anger. Acheron took immediate offense. Theron’s eyes darkened into pitch, and for the first time in centuries, he felt the urge to tear the boy's head from his shoulders with his bare hands. "Get your hands off my girlfriend," Julian demanded, his voice trembling slightly despite his effort to sound steady. He glared at Theron, stepping closer. "Who the hell do you think you are? What is your actual relationship with her?!" Theron didn't answer. He didn't owe explanations to mortals, least of all this one. He simply stared down at the boy with cold disinterest, his body shifting to shield Rhiannon behind his shoulder. The subtle movement only seemed to enrage Julian further. He

Chapter: Chapter Eleven: The Recording.The moment Rhiannon stepped onto campus, it felt like walking on eggshells.Every head turned. Conversations dropped to murmurs the second she passed, then picked back up the instant her back was turned, like she'd become the punchline to a joke nobody would say to her face.‘Why is everyone staring at me?’ She tugged her cardigan tighter around herself, scanning the courtyard for a familiar face. ‘Do I have something on my shirt? Did I trip in front of someone and not notice?’She wasn't the kind to shrink away from judgy stares, but the volume of eyes on her was overwhelming. On top of that, she felt completely lonely, walking alone.She sighed, staring at her unread text messages.Talia wasn't answering and Devon was somewhere overseas and unreachable."Rhia!"Julian came jogging across the quad, backpack bouncing against one shoulder, and pulled her straight into a hug before she could brace for it. He pressed a quick kiss to her cheek, one hand smoothing down her hair."Hey. Are

Chapter: Chapter Ten: Not Even a Fly.Rhiannon cursed under her breath, pressing her forehead against the cool wood of the door. She hated the way he made her feel at that moment.A dull ache spread under her ribs. She slid down the door and sat on the floor, one hand pressed flat against her chest.‘Why did he have to look so damn handsome while ruining my life?’ It wasn't fair. The man was an arrogant, overbearing bastard, who had practically hijacked her entire existence in less than forty-eight hours, yet every time he leaned into her space, her heartbeat quickened for all the wrong reasons.Her phone buzzed against the floorboard, shattering the silence.Rhiannon snatched the device up and stood up, checking the caller ID before pressing it to her ear. "Julian—""Rhia! Jesus, finally!" Julian’s frantic voice burst through the speaker before she could even finish his name. He sounded pissed and confused at the same time."Rhia, what the hell was that? Why is the new professor around you like some bodyguard? Why did

Chapter: Chapter Nine: Three Feet.Dinner finished in silence. Rhiannon kept her eyes on her plate, pushing food around more than eating it, and painfully aware of the man watching her from across the table like nothing unusual had happened at all. She stood the moment her fork touched down for the last time, gripping the edge of the table as the room tilted under her. Theron was out of his chair before she'd even finished rising, his hand closing around her wrist to steady her. Rhiannon tried to snatch her hand back from his grip, but his fingers only tightened around hers. "I'm fine." "You swayed." "I stood up too fast. That's all." She yanked again, harder this time, and he released her so easily she almost stumbled from the momentum. "And in case you've forgotten, this is my life. You don't get a vote in how I live it." "I wasn't aware I needed one." "That's the problem, Vance. You never think you do." Something in his expression shifted, quick and unreadable, before he reached out and tucked a loose stran

Excerpt:
“I’m going to get you pregnant.”
Evelyn froze.
“What?”
Roman didn’t look bothered.
His voice was calm. Controlled.
“We’ll just… make it happen. Starting now.”
Her heart slammed against her chest.
“Roman, I have plans. A career. A life—”
He pulled her closer, his gaze dark, unwavering.
“Do you have a better solution?”
She opened her mouth… then
stopped.
Because she didn’t.
“Sooner or later, you’d have to get pregnant to maintain this story. Why not now?” His gaze turned smoldering, almost hypnotic.
“But I don’t want to bring a child into a marriage based on contracts. Not now,” she whispered. “Not without love. That’s not fair to a baby.”
His thumb brushed her cheek.
“Who said there’s no love?” he murmured.
Evelyn looked at him, dazed. “What do you mean?”
“Hm?” His voice dropped to a whisper.
“Who said there’s no love, Evelyn?”

Chapter: Chapter 199: You Were Never EvelynEvelyn couldn't move.The name hung in the air between them, heavy and suffocating. Avery. She had heard it over and over again—Roman dismissing it as a misheard word. But she heard it again from him last night. Now this man is calling the same name. Not just calling it randomly, but openly calling her Avery."Wha…" Evelyn tried so hard to steady her voice. "What did you call me?"The man smiled slowly, savoring every ounce of her expression."Avery." He spoke again, letting the name settle into the space between them. "That's what your mother wanted to call you before she left. And that's what I decided to call you when I got you back."Cold sweat broke out on Evelyn's neck from the immense pain she was feeling at her temple. Her body trembled as she managed out some words. "I don't—I don't understand. My name is Evelyn. Evelyn Hayes."The man turned her head toward him, so she could look him in the eye. Her breath hitched from the tingling sensation."Is it? Or is that just what Ro

Chapter: Chapter 198: My little precious….The helicopter blades sliced through the night sky. Roman stared out the window, but the clouds and distant lights of the coastline below barely registered. His mind remained on the helipad, replaying Caspian’s words again and again.“Grandchild…”The memory consumed him.—Roman slowly raised his head. “Grandson? What do you mean… whose grandson?”Caspian let out a long, heavy breath and turned away, one hand gripping his walking stick.“Richard was never Evelyn’s father.”The words struck him hard. Roman stared at him, unable to process what he had just heard.“W-what?” His voice cracked. “What do you mean Richard wasn’t her father? Then who—”Caspian met his eyes. “The man who survived the explosion. The one Victoria is working with. He is Evelyn’s biological father. The one who was betrothed to her mother years ago.” Roman’s pupils blew wide. “That man…” Caspian’s voice carried the weight of regret. “He worked under me before he went mad with Thorne Beckett. They claimed they wa

Chapter: Chapter 197: The Beginning of the TruthSomewhere in the darkness, Evelyn opened her eyes.Her head throbbed with a dull, persistent ache. Her mouth was dry. The room was cold and damp, the air carrying the faint smell of mold and stale water. She was sitting on a hard floor with her back pressed against a rough concrete wall.She tried to move, only to realize her hands were bound tightly behind her.Her heart hammered against her ribs, but she forced herself to breathe and think.The room was small and empty. A single bulb hung from the ceiling, casting a weak yellow glow across the space. There were no windows. No furniture. Just her, the bare floor, and the walls closing in.Then the door creaked open.Evelyn’s gaze snapped toward it.A tall, blonde woman stepped inside. She wore a dark suit, her heels clicking against the concrete elegantly. Her face was sharp, her smile polished.“Ah.” The woman’s voice was smooth and almost pleasant. “You’re awake.”Evelyn stared at her, squinting against the harsh light. “Who are yo

Chapter: Chapter 196: No Turning BackLena was just in time to see a tall, broad figure drag Evelyn's limp body into the darkest part of the beach.Her heart stopped."EVELYN!"She screamed, her voice tearing through the wind. She ran toward them, her legs pumping, and her lungs burning. But the figure moved too fast. They reached a speedboat hidden in the shadows of the cliffs.Lena screamed again. "STOP! SOMEONE HELP!"She turned toward the security guards nearby. They stood frozen, staring at her with blank expressions. None of them moved.Lena's blood ran cold. ‘They're not security guards.’She took a step back. The men watched her, their faces unreadable.Lena didn't wait. She turned and ran.The wind howled in her ears as she ran through the sand, her feet slipping in every step, not daring to look back. She crawled over dunes, through patches of wet sand.When she reached the main stretch of beach where tourists and actual security personnel were gathered, she collapsed onto the sand, gasping for air.A security g

Chapter: Chapter 195: Into the Darkness.The helicopter blades sliced through the night air as Roman scanned the coastline below. Searchlights swept across the dark water, illuminating nothing but empty sand and restless waves.“East sector clear,” the co-pilot reported through the headset. “No movement along the shoreline.”Roman pressed the receiver closer. “Expand the search radius. Check the cliffs and every cove.”“Copy that.”His hand remained braced against the console while his eyes searched every shadow under them. Every passing second stretched unbearably long. Each dark shape on the beach made his pulse spike before dissolving into nothing.His personal phone vibrated in his pocket, but he ignored it.A moment later, it vibrated again. Roman frowned and pulled it out to find Leo’s name glowing across the screen.A crease formed between Roman’s brows. Leo wouldn’t call him randomly. And he hadn’t spoken to him since he left Trevinia. The only calls he’d made were to Theon and Finn, the cybersecurity specialist resp

Chapter: Chapter 194: Nowhere to Be FoundEvelyn was deep asleep.The name Avery, Lena's warning, Roman's desperate pleas—all of it faded into the dark. The weight of the day pulled her under until she was floating in a dreamless void.Then someone grabbed her shoulders.“Evelyn. Evelyn!”She stirred, her brow creasing.The voice sounded urgent and familiar. “Evelyn, wake up!”Her eyes fluttered open.Lena hovered over her, tears streaming down her face. Her lips were moving, but Evelyn’s mind was still clouded with sleep. She blinked several times, trying to make sense of what she was seeing.“Lena… what’s wrong?”Lena struggled to steady her breathing. “It’s Noah… he’s… he’s gone.”Evelyn stared at her. The words refused to register.She was still wrapped in the warmth of the duvet, her thoughts moving far too slowly.“…What?”Lena shook her head, tears spilling down her cheeks. “Mrs. Chen took him for a walk. I only looked away for a few minutes… and when I turned back…” her voice gave way. “They were gone.”Every trace of
