The Lycan King's Scarred Mate

In the gripping tale that unfolds, an unexpected encounter captivates two hearts. As I beheld her, the little wolf before me appeared just as startled as I was, yet her presence stirred an ancient longing within me. Without hesitation, I seized her by the neck, causing her to gasp in surprise. Pushing her back, I locked the door, sealing our fate together – with the formidable Lycan king. Anastasia, a young girl whose life was shattered by the ruthless murder of her family by enigmatic lycans, carries the weight of her past as a lifelong burden. After being rescued by her aunt, her quest for vengeance burns bright. Determined to avenge her loved ones, she infiltrates a gathering where the Lycan king, Roman, will reveal his new queen. Little did she know, their paths would cross in a bathroom, and her world would be turned upside down. Roman, the king himself, had always steered clear of love and the concept of a mate. His choice of a queen was practical, a long-time friend who would suit his needs. However, fate intervened at the very event where he planned to present her. Anastasia, a woman like none he'd ever encountered, caught his attention despite her deep-seated hatred for all lycans. Can Roman break through Anastasia's walls of distrust? Or will she remain guarded, her heart forever closed? The physical scars she bears serve as a painful reminder of vulnerability, yet the warmth of the Lycan king's touch tempts her to reconsider her resolve. This is the beginning of their story in Book 1, a journey of love, betrayal, and redemption against the backdrop of a fierce and treacherous world.
