The Monkey King: The Legend Begins

"You asked me to save you!" "Because only you could." "Then why do you want to kill me?" "Because I need your blood to replenish." He said firmly. Mariah started dreaming about a strange man on her sixteenth birthday. For over a century, this very man kept appearing in her dream and when she was a hundred and seventeen years old, he finally told her where to find him.

King Alaric had been buried alive for over ten thousand years and he had spent the years hovering in people's dreams to find the one that can save him.

However, knowing who his enemies were, he can't afford to dwell in romance and so wants nothing more than to kill her and use her blood to energize himself.

My name is Amber, and my Alpha decided to set me up for an arranged marriage to form an alliance between our werewolf pack and their lycan pack. I had three brothers to choose from, and I agreed to marry Alex of the Lycanrock pack because he was the only Lycan brother I wasn't afraid of. When I met him, he wasn't huge like his brothers, Zeke and Sebastian. Instead, Alex was cute, innocent, and very childlike since he wasn't of age. It meant four more years before we could get married—four more years of freedom for me. That was my plan, but will Alex still be innocent when I meet him again four years later?
