To his pack, she was a useless human burden. To the realm, she is the rightful heir to the throne. Malory spent her life in the shadows of her pack, coddled by her adoptive family but despised by her fated mate, Oliver Knox. As the future Alpha, Oliver demanded a warrior Luna, not a fragile, breakable human who would need constant protection. On the night of the full moon bonfire, he brutally rejected her, hoping she would disappear quietly. Heartbroken and desperate, Malory leaped from a jagged cliff into the raging river below, intending to end her misery. Instead of death, the plunge awakened a dormant, ancient magic in her veins. Rescued from the waters by King Alistair himself, Malory discovered her true identity: she was Princess Seraphina, the long-lost hybrid daughter of the royal Lycan bloodline. As her weak human façade shattered to reveal a fierce, otherworldly power, Seraphina began her training under the watchful eye of the enigmatic Prince Caspian. But when her old pack's territorial wars threatened the kingdom, the path to her throne would require more than reclaiming her crown. Oliver rejected the mate he believed was weak. Now, he'll have to bow to a Queen.

It was five years of bethrothed marriage. She was still a virgin, still unwanted and was still watching her husband sleep around while she quietly breaks apart. Omega Briella Whitemere has become the greatest joke in the Wereworld. A beautiful wife no Alpha wants to touch. Until one desperate night changes everything. A masked stranger with impossible crimson-violet eyes offers her the first kindness and best sex she has ever known then disappears by daybreak. She never learns his name. She can't remember the encounter and never sees him again. Or so she thinks. Days later, the feared Red Lycan King, Laszlo Knight, arrives to collect an ancient blood debt. By law, he can claim anything belonging to House Ashcroft. When Briella tries to protect her abusive husband from the Red Lycan King, she does the unthinkable.... She slaps the most feared king alive. Instead of ordering her execution, Laszlo smiles. And when he finally invokes the ancient covenant, he asks for only one thing. "I'll take the omega." Now trapped inside the Red Kingdom, Briella must survive the cursed king whose touch awakens forbidden desires, a prophecy that says only she can kill him, and a world where loving each other may become the deadliest savior and weapon at once.

**He rejected me in front of hundred of wolves. I said the words back, but the bond refused to break. After eleven months of humiliation, I returned to Silverfang expecting one final ritual: sever the mate bond, walk away, and disappear. Instead, the severance failed. Then the Lycan King arrived. Aldren of Blackthorn could claim me with a single command. Every wolf in the territory would have accepted it. He didn't. He gave me a choice. That should have been the safest thing a man could offer me. It wasn't. Because the name I've lived under all my life is a lie. The deeper I dig of who I am, the more dangerous the truth becomes. My mother's grave is empty. The Crown has been calling my name. And something wearing familiar faces has begun hunting me. Aldren wants to protect me, but he fears one thing more than losing his throne: that I might love him only because the bond tells me to. Then the Court turns us against each other. False memories. False letters. Jealous rivals. Betrayals so convincing that even the man I trust most may become my enemy. If I break the bonds controlling the Seven Territories, I could set thousands of wolves free. Or I could become powerful enough to control them all. Everyone expects me to choose a king, but they've forgotten one thing. I was born to decide what a bond means. And when the Moon finally asks me whom I belong to, I won't choose the man fate gave me. I'll choose the man who lets me walk away.
