Lyra Grey has spent her life being underestimated. An orphaned gamma with no family name, no inheritance, and no clear place beyond the walls of Exton College, she has survived by being disciplined, capable, and impossible to dismiss. Being made patrol lead in her final year should prove she has earned her place. Instead, it puts her directly in the path of Joshua Landry. Arrogant, powerful, and born into the most influential Lycan family in Britain, Joshua is everything Lyra resents. He is also the alpha who humiliated her, called her worthless, and left her badly injured enough to be hospitalised after a combat match went too far. Then Lyra turns eighteen. And discovers Joshua Landry is her destined mate. Furious, horrified, and unwilling to belong to the boy who once made her feel small, Lyra rejects him on the spot. Joshua deserves it. He knows he does. But unlike Lyra, he does not reject her back. Haunted by his mistakes and desperate to prove he can be more than the arrogant alpha she remembers, Joshua is already fighting for a future he may never be worthy of. His sister has walked away from their father’s legacy, leaving him as the obvious heir to the largest pack in Britain — except destiny has not chosen him. Not yet. Forced together through class, patrols, combat training, and a thrilling car chase that makes avoiding each other impossible, Lyra and Joshua begin to discover that hatred is not as simple as it used to be. Every argument cuts too close. Every challenge sparks something neither of them can ignore. And the more Joshua proves he has changed, the harder Lyra finds it to believe fate could be so cruel. Or perhaps, so right. But Lyra’s forgotten past is beginning to surface, and someone out there wants it buried for good. As enemies close in and secrets threaten to change everything, Lyra and Joshua must decide whether pride is worth more than trust, whether love can ever be chosen after rejection — and whether the Goddess made a mistake when she bound two enemies together. ***You do not need to have read my other books to read this one- although they are all part of the same universe. ***

"It is easier for our eyes to see what is in the shadows when we aren't bathed in light," Amoya says, looking at me with concern. I shake my head at her a little. "That's an odd thing to say, because shadows only exist because of light, Amoya," I reply. "Yes. But you see, Ophelia...that's exactly the problem..." ---------------------------------------------------- Ophelia Landry was born to be extraordinary—so why does she feel so broken? As the heir to the most powerful Lycan pack and the daughter of a celebrated Fae, Ophelia should command magic, shift beneath the full moon, and shine with divine light. Instead, she’s eighteen, powerless, wolfless, and quietly unraveling under the weight of expectations she can’t meet. But everything changes when she arrives at Vale Institute—a university unlike any other—where her anonymity grants her space to breathe for the first time. Among her eclectic new roommates is Ares, a mysterious, socially awkward student with a mind like a library and a past cloaked in shadows. As Ophelia and Ares grow closer, their friendship stirs something dormant inside her—something that could change everything. Together, they must uncover what lies beneath their respective missing pieces and the ancient forces at play. Can love spark the light she’s been missing? Or was she never meant to stay in the shadows? --------------- This book will always be free, particularly for anyone who has paid to read the first two in the trilogy.

Serena Landry has spent most of her life moving too quickly to worry about where she is going. There is always another hobby to master, another adventure to chase, another reason not to sit still. But entering her final year at Exton, Serena decides to make one change: instead of falling back into the same supernatural circles she has always known, she begins spending time with a group of humans. To her surprise, she likes them. There is Joel, confident, charming and impossible to overlook, and Finn, quieter and more guarded, whose dry humour and seemingly endless collection of shared interests make friendship with him unexpectedly easy. For the first time, Serena begins to wonder whether the divide between humans and her own kind is quite as vast as she has always believed. Then she turns eighteen. And Serena senses her mate. What should have been one of the simplest certainties of Lycan life instead throws everything she knows about destined bonds into disarray. Something about hers is wrong—or perhaps unprecedented—and while Serena searches for answers, whispers of a prophecy begin to place her at the centre of something she never asked for. She is not the only one questioning the old ways. Ella Reva believes the supernatural world has hidden for long enough and is quietly working towards the impossible: Disclosure. A future in which humans finally learn that Lycans, fae, witches and countless other beings have always lived among them. But across the water from Serena's pack, something is being built. No one knows exactly what lies beyond the mysterious barrier surrounding it. Humans cannot approach it. Lycans cannot break through it. Not even Austin Landry—the Golden Lycan, powerful enough to challenge almost anything—can penetrate its defences. And as the threat beyond the water grows, Serena begins to realise that the strange path unfolding before her may be connected to far more than her own future. For centuries, two worlds have existed side by side without ever truly meeting. Perhaps they were only waiting for someone to build the bridge. ...... Sequel to The Golden Lycans featuring Austin's younger sister Serena. This story takes place six years later. I would recommend reading the first one before you delve into this ☺️ **There are a number of songs quoted throughout as Serena is very music orientated... I did not write these songs. clearly!***

The Golden Lycan Series is an expanding romantic fantasy series set in a world much like our own - except humans aren't the only ones living in it. Across several interconnected books, one family's story unfolds through love, destiny, heritage and power, as the choices of one generation shape the world inherited by the next. And it all begins with Ella. Ella believes she is human. Arriving at a new school, she expects the usual challenges of finding her place. Instead, she quickly gets the feeling that something else is hiding beneath the surface. Strange rules. Stranger behaviour. And an entire world seemingly operating around her that she was never supposed to notice. Because the school isn't what it appears to be. Hidden amongst its human students are Lycans, protected by powerful enchantments designed to ensure ordinary people never see their supernatural world for what it really is. Except the enchantments don't work on Ella. The more she sees, the more impossible one question becomes to ignore. Why? Austin Landry should probably be asking questions of his own. As the future Alpha of the third-largest pack in the country, he has been raised knowing that thousands of lives will one day become his responsibility. One day being the important part. For now, responsibility feels comfortably distant, and there is still plenty of time to find the mate he is destined to lead beside. Then a neighbouring pack is wiped out. With a mysterious enemy emerging from the shadows and threatening to destroy more, Austin's future comes hurtling towards him. His people need him to become the man they always expected him to be. Unfortunately, he is increasingly distracted by the one person he should have no reason to want. Ella. Human. Impossible. And definitely not the mate his instincts should be searching for. As Ella uncovers the truth of her heritage and Austin begins to understand the weight of his, both will be forced to confront what it means to inherit power - and what they owe to the people who trust them with it. Because power is not simply something to possess. It is something to respect. And somewhere in the history of Austin's family lies an old name. The Golden Lycans. A story passed down through generations. A legend belonging to another age. A myth most have long since stopped believing could ever be real. But as an unknown enemy begins threatening the very foundations of the supernatural community, old stories may hold more truth than anyone realised. And an ancient myth might be exactly what their world needs to survive...
