Claimed By The Lycan King
"The whole kingdom has waited, though they didn't know it until tonight. You're going to change everything, just by being."
A lump formed in my throat as I watched him, this powerful king, this feared Lycan, this warrior who had faced down assassination attempts and political machinations, speaking with such tenderness to children who couldn't yet hear him. Children who were barely more than an idea, a promise, a hope.
"I will move heaven and earth for you," he promised, his voice taking on an edge of fierce determination that I recognized all too well. "For all three of you. Nothing will touch you. Nothing will harm you. This I swear on everything I am."
