When orphaned omega Lyria Vale flees a forced mating and crosses into the forbidden North, she expects death at the hands of the ruthless Alpha King. Instead, she finds her fated mate. Feared by every pack in the kingdom, Kael Draven is a cursed ruler haunted by an ancient prophecy that promises the fall of his bloodline. The moment he touches Lyria, the mate bond ignites but so does something far more dangerous. A mysterious mark burned into Lyria’s skin. A mark tied to a forgotten royal bloodline his ancestors destroyed. As rival packs prepare for war and enemies rise from the shadows, Kael becomes fiercely obsessed with protecting the girl fate has chained to him. But the closer Lyria gets to the alpha king, the more terrifying truths she uncovers about herself… and the power sleeping in her blood. Because the prophecy was wrong. Lyria was never born to love the Alpha King. She was born to destroy him.
