A story told from both sides of the blade. Eleanore: My husband rode off to war with a kiss and a promise. Days later, I received news of his death and the name of his killer—Perseus, the ruthless Lycan King. Now, I'm his bride. A pawn traded for a treaty. They say power demands sacrifice. I say vengeance deserves patience. I won’t scream. I won’t break. And I sure as hell won’t fall in love with the monster who destroyed my world. He expects a Luna. He’s getting a storm in a black dress and a sword in his chest. Perseus: I killed her husband. She’ll remind me every day. I ripped her black wedding gown. She hasn’t forgiven me. I gave her my name. She threw my gift into the fire. But I see it in her eyes—the fire, the fury, the pain, the heartbreak all that I made her feel. And it calls to something ancient inside me. She wants to bury a sword in my chest. Joke’s on her—I already gave her my heart.

Yesterday was history; tomorrow is a mystery and today? When a rebellious child fought with dad and left his home; he came to his grandfather's house; news flashed on tv, the seven big holes found by the scientist on the earth; ancient and believed to be created by aliens or by the fallen angels. He didn't believe any of this; there his grandpa told him a life-changing story. With one condition; he allowed him to ask only three questions.

The tears stung in my eyes as I heard those words from his mouth, I still couldn’t believe it. “I-I d-don’t understand.” He grabbed my neck and pinned me to the wall, “If I ever lay my eyes on you again, I will kill you. An abomination like you can never be my mate.” He spat, his eyes filled with disgust. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After the lycans won the war against the humans and the witches, they ruled over every being in the kingdom of Mondegard.

Every being was subject to him - and Sapphire was no exception. Born an outcast, unable to shift and pitifully weak, she has always been trampled upon, blind to the truth of her existence. But fate so cruel mated her to none other than the merciless Alpha king, dragging her into a world of betrayal, ancient secrets and rebellion she never imagined. And he made her life a living hell because of it.
