Why Is The Lycan'S Treasured Mate Important To The Story?

Lycan children born from Alphas often came in twins or triplets. Destined to be matched with one female throughout their reign. But it wasn’t that simple. Some Alpha siblings were willing to share. Others prepared to kill one another to keep their mate to themselves. It was no different for Jaxon and Xander. Having already rejected three mates they are paired with a fourth, something that wasn’t heard of. The only problem was, she wasn’t a Lycan. Blue is a wolf with no pack. She refuses to live as a wolf, and instead lives among humans. When Jaxon and Xander walk into her life, they turn it upside down. Secrets that she had kept hidden for a long time start to come to the surface, revealing Blue for what she really is.

Humanity lives on the edge of extinction. Every season, the Northern Lands demand a sacrifice of a human to be sent to the Ice Castle, and given to the Lycan King and his court to be used, broken, and discarded. No sacrifice has ever returned. Sergio Herrera is the disgraced son of a once-powerful family. When his father offers him as the next tribute to save their own status, Sergio is dragged in chains across the frozen border. He expects death and humiliation. What he does not expect is the way the the Lycan king looks at him. He didn't look at him with hunger, but with pain. Because the moment Leandro's eyes fall on Sergio, the mate bond awakens. A searing, undeniable, cruelly ironic truth: the human he was meant to destroy is the one the Moon goddess chose for him. But in the Ice Castle, the bond is not a blessing. It is a weakness, and Leandro's enemies will use it against him. His court will mock him for wanting a human, and Sergio, who is fragile, human, and alone, must decide whether to run from the monster or trust the only creature in the frozen castle who looks at him like he is not a sacrifice, but salvation.

"Touch her, and I'll rip your throat out with my bare hands." For centuries, King Valerian Goremane has ruled the Shadowpeak Territories with brutal efficiency, his heart as frozen as the northern wastelands he conquered. The most powerful Lycan in existence, he's never bowed to anyone, until the night he catches her scent. Aria Thorne isn't supposed to exist. Born human in a world ruled by wolves, marked with a strange silver birthmark she's hidden her entire life, she's survived by staying invisible. But when she accidentally crosses into Shadowpeak during a desperate escape from her abusive stepfather, everything changes. Valerian knows instantly, she's his. His fated mate. The one weakness he swore never to have. But there's a problem. An ancient prophecy declares that the king's true mate will either be his salvation or his complete destruction. The same prophecy that caused Valerian to reject and exile his first mate twenty years ago, a decision that cursed him with a beast he can barely control. Now, with Aria's life hanging in the balance, enemies closing in from every direction, and his own pack questioning his sanity, Valerian faces an impossible choice: claim the woman fate has given him and risk everything he's built, or let her go and lose the only person who's ever made him feel human. Aria refuses to be owned. Valerian refuses to be denied. And the prophecy? It's only just beginning to unfold. In a kingdom ruled by blood and power, can love survive the beast within... or will it awaken something far more dangerous than either of them could imagine?

You have a choice," her first mate growled, his eyes cold and calculating. "Either you become my sex tool, or you leave the pack. But you can't take anything with you, not even the clothes on your back." In a world where strength and power are everything, she was an outcast. Her family had died saving a stranger, leaving her alone and despised by all. But the moon goddess had other plans for her, and granted her a mate. He was everything she had ever wanted, but he rejected her, coveting only her beauty. In a fit of rage, she kicked him to the curb and had a one night stand with a stranger. But her mate still had his eyes on her, and her life became a living hell. Bullied, enslaved, and isolated, she longed for a way out. And then, the Lycan King arrived, claiming her as his mate and bringing an end to her suffering. But secrets and dangers lurked in his kingdom, and she knew she couldn't stay. Faced with an impossible choice, she fled with her unborn babies, determined to raise them in secrecy. But why would she run? What was the truth behind her parents' death? And would the Lycan King recognize her and her babies when she returned completely different?
