Belcalis Voss sold herself to the Lycan King to save her sister. It was meant to be a simple arrangement. One contract. One year. A temporary sacrifice to keep the only family she had alive.

I caught my fiancé in my sister's bed three weeks before our wedding. I thought that was the worst thing that could happen to me. I was wrong. When I told my father, he didn't punish my sister. He didn't even ask Maksim to explain himself. He simply looked at me and said, **“The Lykan Alpha needs a bride.”** That was how I became the daughter my family could afford to lose. They sent me north to Hati—the ruthless Alpha everyone fears, the man whose name is whispered like a curse.

"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?

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.

"I will take her in exchange," Alpha Dante declared, and the ball room instantly quieted down, and all eyes turned to the said girl. Whispers filled the ballroom, although it was rather useless since everyone could hear them clearly with their heightened senses. Rhea, the object of discussion, stood there in tattered clothes, confused and seemingly lost. She never wanted to draw so much attention to herself, but here she was with everyone's eyes on her because of a single statement from one man. "I am sorry, Alpha Dante, you must be mistaken, that is not my daughter..." Alpha Collins said but was rudely interrupted by Alpha Dante. "She is the one I want,” Alpha Dante said coldly. “Give her to me or forget about our deal.” ***** Born a mix of blood, half vampire, and half werewolf, Rhea was neither considered a werewolf nor a vampire. Just someone who wasn't needed. Someone who shouldn't exist. Someone whose existence was an abomination. Her father's absence in her life and her mother's passing rendered Rhea homeless, nowhere to go, and no one to turn to. She is forced to fend for herself from an early age, serving as a maid in the packhouse despite being hated and scorned by all. Dante, an alpha whose path had always been painted Scarlet, cursed by the moon goddess, walked a lone and bloodied path. He never asked for a mate and never wanted one after all. He was cursed by the very entity their race worships. He never thought he needed one until he met her. For the first time, he felt his heart waver, his silent beast stirred in the presence of another and definitely not out of hostility.

But when she begs for 99 days of protection, he agrees to one condition: she stays silent, obedient, and out of his way. Except Elysia is hiding something that pulses beneath her skin, growing stronger with each passing moon. A forbidden bloodline. A secret pregnancy.

Three men are hunting her—one who wants to reclaim her, one who wants to breed her, and one who’s trying to convince himself he doesn’t want to burn the world down to keep her.
