Strangers in a strange town find their mate in a bar, spend a night of drunken sex. In the climax he marks her and she marks him. But he is a king and kings don't wear the marks of their mates. He is desperate to hide what he has done because he was in town for his bachelor party - he is set to marry his chosen mate in 2 days. This marriage will make him the top contender for Lycan King. Showing up to his wedding with the mark of another will ruin him. He rejects her. She accepts his rejection. But the moon goddess has other plans. When the mating marks don't disappear, he can only think of one other way to get rid of his mark - with the death of his mate. He sends his Beta to do the dirty work and soon feels the agony of his mate's death. He grieves for a moment but the mark fades and he moves on with his plans for his wedding. The next morning, he finds the mark has returned. Somehow, his mate is alive, although his Beta assures him that he confirmed she had died before disposing of her body. The wedding is postponed while he searches for answers. He can't mark his bride while another carries his mark. He still feels his mate. He sometimes hears her thoughts. He has taken steps to hide his own mark while searching for his unwanted mate but time is running out. He needs to find her and kill her before the throne slips from his grasp. His unwanted mate holds her own secrets, though. She is of ancient blood - part Lycan and part something immortal. She was willing to break the bond to a man she had only met in a drunken night of passion. There were ways outside of rejection to remove a mating bond but no - he had to play dirty and sent his Beta to kill her. He had no idea who he was messing with. The mate bond just became her weapon of choice. She felt the agony of betrayal every time he enjoyed sex with his chosen mate but he forgot one important thing - since she had marked him, as well, he would suffer the same agony with her own betrayal. She wanted more than his pain. She wanted to destroy him - starting with taking away his hopes of becoming the future Lycan King. As the current Lycan King's eldest daughter, she had been hidden away from the kingdom since childhood for her own protection. She was also the only child of the Lycan King's only fated mate who had died at the hands of his political rivals. She had been raised as the twin sister of his Beta's daughter. His beta had been away when his wife gave birth and died in childbirth. Only the midwife knew she had only given birth to one child and the King had her silenced to keep the secret. She has to return to the castle for the royal wedding of one of her sisters only to find the groom is none other than her marked mate. Her little sister is his stepping stone to the Lycan throne and she has no intention of letting this would be murderer take her father's throne. She has been trained to be her father's asset and assassin. She will take her revenge by helping her mate's worst enemy take the throne. She's not just going to destroy him. She's going to make it hurt the whole time she's doing it. She seeks out the men whom she has investigated on her father's behalf until she finds the perfect man to help her in her quest. He is a powerful Alpha from the north who doesn't play well with others but is someone her father grudgingly respects for his strength. She can't reveal her identity but is determined to use him to take down her mate. He is attracted to her and she's offering him some wild sex so he's on board for some no strings fun. He doesn't realize she is offering him a kingdom he never wanted. Her father is not stepping down and allowing an election for the next king. He is passing the throne to his beloved daughter and her mate will rule beside her. As the father of 6 daughters, it is assumed the throne will not pass to a female since women only rarely achieve the ruling status in the werewold kingdom. He has raised his firstborn to take his place. If her mate had been any kind of man and accepted her as his mate, he would have achieved his goal of taking the throne just by honoring the bond. And her feelings for the northern alpha only become more complicated when she finds she is carrying his child but he wants nothing to do with the throne or her deceit. She will rule alone and pregnant, surrounded by enemies.
