They say the King feels nothing. No mercy. No weakness. No love. They were wrong. When his brother — the fearsome Alpha General — publicly rejected his human betrothed, every wolf in the pack looked away in pity. Lucian looked at her differently. He'd been watching Amara for longer than he cared to admit. Watching her show kindness to Omegas others ignored. Watching her hold her dignity while Dante slowly chipped away at it. Watching her and knowing — she was wasted on his brother. So when Dante made the biggest mistake of his life, Lucian made his move. Now Dante wants war. The pack wants answers. And Amara wants nothing to do with either twin. But she's already in the King's palace. Already under his protection. Already in his heart — whether she knows it or not. Some kings take what they want. Lucian chose what he needed. And he never lets go of what is his.
