"The first time I killed a man, I didn't even get to see his body be buried.There was no time for ceremony or regret only the pounding of my heart and the screaming inside my head telling me to run"........They called me a murderer. A monster. A girl unworthy of mercy. But the truth? I was just a pawn in my stepfather's twisted game. A game that left me imprisoned, broken, and sentenced to rot in a cell... until "he" came for me. "THE LYCAN KING "Tall, brutal, and crowned in shadows, he offers me a choice: "serve in his palace or die in chains". I choose survival. But the moment I step into his gilded hell, I realize the real danger isn't the claws of his court—it's "him". Because the Lycan King doesn't want a servant. HE WANTS A MATE. His obsession is ferocious. His touch, a brand. And when he pins me with those "gold-flecked eyes" and growls "Mine," I know I should run. But the deeper I fall into his world of blood and betrayal, the more I uncover: - My stepfather's lies go deeper than my scars. - The King's past is tied to my dead mother's secrets. - And the child growing in my womb? It shouldn't exist. Lycan Kings DON'T breed with humans... unless I was never human at all.* This is NOT a fairytale. This is a WAR between monsters—and I'm the PRICE.
