MATED TO THE LYCAN KING

I firmly declared, "Feel free to kill me if you wish, but I will never submit to a king whose crown is adorned with the gem of every life he has claimed." Immediately after rejecting his proposal, I voiced my defiance. "How dare you deny the mating bond with the Lycan ruler of Ravenswood?" Grimgor growled, seething with fury and disgust. Over the last decade, the dwindling population of werewolves lived in constant dread of the Lycans. They eked out their existence hiding underground or within caves, escaping both Lycan predation during the day and joint threats from Lycans and vampires at night. Veronica, the lone survivor of her family's massacre and pack's tragedy, had been taken captive by the Lycan king following the brutal slaying of her grandmother. Despite her quest for vengeance, fate intertwined when she discovered that the new king was her destined mate. Suddenly, an unexpected emotion began to stir within her heart. Meanwhile, King Grimgor, haunted by his past experiences that soured him on the idea of marriage and parenthood, found himself falling in love with Veronica – his father's bitter rival.
