The Lycan king Forbidden Mate
Diva_writes
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.
