Camelot's Secret Heir: Bound to the Lycan King
"Love doesn't protect the border," he said, rejecting her while she carried his secret heir.
Five years later, she is the fake fiancée of his deadliest enemy... and she’s hiding a child with the Golden Eyes of a King.
"I reject you, Elara Vance."
Five years ago, Alpha Kael of Camelot chose power over love.
Believing the lies of his corrupt Oracle and Elara’s own foster sister, he publicly banished his fated mate on his ascension day, leaving her with nothing but a broken heart—and a secret growing inside her.
Now, Elara is a rogue herbalist living in the shadows, her life revolving around her five-year-old son, Leo.
But Leo carries a deadly curse.
To save him, Elara must venture into uncharted territory to steal a legendary Orchid from the most dangerous man on the continent: King Darius of the Lycans.
She infiltrates the Palace, but the Ruthless King catches her red-handed.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't snap your neck right now," Darius growls.
"Because," Elara gasps, "I'm the only one who can wake your guards up."
Intrigued by her skills and cornered by the Council into a forced marriage, Darius offers Elara a devil’s bargain:
The Orchid for her life.
"Marry me for one year. Convince the world you are mine, and I will save your son."
Elara accepts, dyeing her son’s hair black to hide his identity.
But deception is fragile.
When a Peace Summit brings her vengeful Ex to the palace, Elara’s secrets are one washed-out hair dye away from being revealed.
With a Lycan King stealing her heart and an Alpha hunting her son, Elara must decide:
Keep running, or unleash the wolf within.

Chapter: Chapter 4: The Devil's Contract.-ELERA-"A negotiation," Darius repeated, the word rolling off his tongue with dark amusement. "You are in no position to negotiate, little thief.I could summon a dozen guards to replace the ones you drugged. I could have you skinned and hung from the gates as a warning to the next rogue who thinks my sanctuary is a garden."I swallowed hard, chest burning as my mind panicked for what to say next."You could," I rasped, my voice returning. "But then you’d never know how I brewed a sedative strong enough to drop a Lycan in ten seconds without magic.”Darius tilted his head at me, his grip on my neck slowly easing. His fingers lingered on my pulse point for one terrifying second longer, then he released me.He took a step back, the cold aura of his power retracting just enough to let me gasp for air. I slumped against the stone dais, clutching my throat, heart still slamming against my ribs like a trapped bird but I forced myself to meet his gaze.His hand shot at me, stripped the satc

Chapter: Chapter 3: The Shadow in the Lion’s Den-ELERA-The Obsidian Palace looked nothing like a home. It looked like a weapon carved from black mountain stone.I crouched in the mud at the base of the perimeter wall, the rain plastering my hair to my skull. My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird, but my hands were steady. Like the hands of a surgeon and a herbalist."Three," I whispered, watching the patrol pattern of the Lycan guards above. " Two… One."The guards turned the corner.I didn't have wolf speed nor Alpha strength. But I had desperation. And I had chemistry.I pulled a small, wax-sealed pouch from my belt. Inside was a blend of crushed Valerian root, concentrated Lavender oil, and a pinch of Midnight Moss. It was a potent, fast-acting sedative I had brewed myself.I didn't plan to kill anyone. Killing a Lycan guard would bring an army down on the Rogue City. I just needed them to sleep for a bit.I tossed the pouch over the wall, letting the wind carry the faint, sweet scent downward. And soon the soun

Chapter: Chapter 2: The Boy with the Burning Blood.-ELARA-(Five Years Later)Rogue City didn't smell like rain and pine like the forests of Camelot. It smelled of wet dog, desperate unwashed bodies, and the metallic tang of blood that never quite scrubbed out of the cobblestones."Hold still, Leo," I murmured, dipping a toothbrush into the tin cup mixture of charcoal dust and walnut oil.Leo sat impatiently on a crate at the corner of our cramped, one room apartment while I painted the thick, black sludge over his hair."I hate this black goop," he scrunched his nose. "It itches.”"I know, baby," I said, brushing a lock of his hair aside. Beneath the artificial black, his roots were glowing a bright, shimmering gold. A mark of his Camelot blood. The mark of the man who wanted us dead. "But we have to be invisible. Remember the game? We are shadows.""Shadows don't have gold hair," Leo recited the rule we lived by."Exactly.".At five years old, Leo was already too smart for his own good. He didn't look like me. He had his father’s sh

Chapter: Chapter 1: The Day Love Died-ELARA-The storm outside the Great Hall rattled the stained glass windows, casting eerie shadows across the polished stone floor.I stood before the towering mirror in the gallery, smoothing the fabric of my simple grey dress. It was the best I owned, stitched together from discarded silks I’d salvaged from the palace laundry. I wasn't a warrior or a high-born lady. I was simply Elara Vance, the pack’s wolfless, orphaned Omega.But tonight, I was also the girl Alpha Heir Kael had whispered promises to in the dark for two years."He will claim you tonight," I whispered to myself, my hand drifting instinctively to my stomach.I hadn’t told Kael yet. I wanted everything to be perfect. Once he ascended to the throne. Once he marked me and I was under his protection. I would tell him that the next generation of Camelot was already growing safely inside me.I let out a shaky breath as my fingers traced the intricate silver necklace at my throat. It was the only indulgence I’d allowed mysel
