Awakening the Rejected Queen

"I need you, please...so hot...help me..." I grabbed the Lycan King's shirt, drawing him close as we passionately kissed. Initially, he hesitated, but then he wrapped his arms around me tightly. In my darkest hour, after being betrayed, falsely accused, and drugged by my former Alpha husband and half-sister, I never imagined the King would be the one to rescue me. The unexpected turn of events continued when I found out I was pregnant with his child following that incredible night. However, when I discovered his plan to eliminate me for his fiancée, I made the difficult decision to run. "Eden, come back to me," his Lycan presence sent shivers down my spine, even through his plea. "No!" I insisted, biting my lip. "If you don't truly love me, you must set me free." His intense gaze met mine, and he spoke softly, "You released me from a curse, how can I let you go?" Curse? What did he mean by that? "It's a secret I'll keep, Love," he whispered, holding my waist. "And I know a secret of your own. Let me assist you in revealing your true self."
