The King's Wolfless Mate

The rogue wolf attacks were escalating, causing many packs to reinforce their defenses and form alliances for safety. However, smaller groups unable to afford such measures fell prey to the rogue wolves. King Adrien, a 36-year-old ruler of all werewolf clans, felt responsible for assisting these struggling packs. After delaying his visit for a week, he finally arrived at the Red Moon Pack led by Alpha Tristan. As Adrien engaged in a conversation with Alpha Tristan, he suddenly sensed unease. His heightened senses detected the faint scent of strawberries, alerting him to an unexpected presence. Just then, a servant entered the meeting area with a whiskey bottle, and without hesitation, Adrien sprang up and enveloped her in a tight embrace, addressing everyone present with the surprising declaration of "mate." What had initially been a peaceful visit took a dramatic turn when Adrien killed Alpha Tristan and claimed Bella as his own, bringing her back to his castle. This unexpected turn of events left Adrien grappling with the rogue wolf crisis and the challenge of helping his wolfless mate transition into her new werewolf form, all while navigating the complexities of leadership and potential succession.
