Mated to the beast

Leila Wayne's heart was set on finding true love with her long-time crush, the person she held dear to her soul. Life seemed perfect until she reached the age of eighteen. On that special day, she observed her closest friends transform into their animal forms, leaving her behind. Suddenly, it felt like everyone around her had forgotten about her. To make matters worse, her own wolf didn't appear, and her boyfriend, who she had fiercely defended against countless challenges within and beyond the pack, publicly broke up with her, choosing a new partner. The humiliation was too much for Leila to bear, and she fled the pack, only to wake up in an unexpected place – the territory of the mighty lion king, someone she had once sworn to hate. Now, as Leila discovers that the very creature she once despised is, in fact, her destined mate, her world is turned upside down.
