#Book 1 of the Alpha Series My voice trembles as I push at his chest, pleading, “Let me go.” But Hunter tightens his grip, his breath hot against my skin as he dips his head to my neck, eyes glowing like a predator’s under moonlight. “You will never leave me,” he murmurs, a dangerous promise wrapped in velvet. “You are mine… Forever.” Hunter is no ordinary king. Beneath his powerful exterior lies a secret so dangerous, it could annihilate everything. Deadly beasts sleep within him—creatures of blood and shadow that hunger for control. He’s ruled the werewolves for centuries with ruthless precision, yet fate has played a cruel trick on him… by binding his soul to a fragile, human mate. Rein is just eighteen. Once, her world revolved around grades and college dreams. But fate doesn’t care about plans. She’s thrust into a world of night and howls, hunted by rogues who slaughtered her parents in cold blood—a truth she has yet to uncover. And by her side is Hunter, the enigmatic king who both terrifies and protects her, whose touch burns like fire and whose eyes hold a thousand secrets. Will Rein uncover the truth about the beasts within her mate? Dive into The Lycan King’s Mate, where love is a battlefield, and secrets are deadlier than claws.
