Royal family

My mate rejected me in front of four hundred wolves. So I claimed the Lycan King instead. It was supposed to be a joke. When an Alpha rejects a girl in public, the old law lets her name a second mate, and the pack gets to laugh at her twice. Nobody has been accepted in a hundred years. So I looked past every boy in Hollowpine, straight at the most dangerous man alive, and said his name. Adrian Sterling, sovereign of every pack on the continent, stood up while four hundred wolves went to their knees. "Accepted," he said. "Mine." Now the man who threw me away has to bow to me. The court gives me eighty-six days to shift, or I'm exiled as a pretender. I've never had a wolf. But I have something nobody else has: when I heal, I can see every mate bond as a thread. True ones shine silver. And half the marriages in the King's court are gold. Forged. The King has a secret of his own. Lycan kings without a mate go feral before thirty-three. He's thirty-one, and he chains himself in a tower every full moon. The only thing that quiets him is me.

In 1801, in London, the illegitimate daughter Sophia was never liked by her family. But she learned to plan for herself early on. Starting with raising chickens, then opening a restaurant, setting up a factory, and establishing a bank, she accumulated an astonishing amount of wealth step by step. The envy of the powerful made her have nowhere to hide. She took with her a marriage agreement she had drafted herself and hid in the ducal mansion of the Duke of Devonshire, who was known as the "Unmarried Duke". She had hoped to take advantage of the Duke of Devonshire's reputation to avoid trouble. But unexpectedly, this cold-hearted duke not only saw through her intentions but also changed his mind: "I want to marry you."

Without giving up, she worked hard to reverse her brother's inevitable fate and, as an ordinary mortal, earned the one-of-a-kind love of a god.

My sin was being born with my twin sister Savannah, causing my mother’s death, and “stealing” part of the gift the Goddess had given Savannah. Hated by my father, humiliated, hidden away in my own pack, I became someone with no name, no identity… just my twin’s double. Until the day an accident left her in a coma, and I was forced once again to take her place, only this time somewhere even more dangerous. My father sent me to HighMoon Academy, where the elite forces are trained, and I’m supposed to serve Lycan Prince Aurelius. That arrogant, rude, savage wolf. Savannah’s dream was to claw her way to the throne. Mine… is to find my freedom. This time, I’m not following my father’s plans. So I ensured my absence. I thought that would get me off the prince's radar. Until the night I end up pinned against the Academy’s cold walls, his dangerous wolfish eyes burning into me with anger, one hand on my chin and the other on my waist. “Do you really think pretending you don’t care is going to save you?” he growled against my lips, sending shivers of pleasure racing through my whole body. I wasn’t going to back down from him. We were both hiding dark secrets, playing a game so dangerous it could destroy us… or bind us together forever. “Because I’m not who you think I am, Lycan prince, and the real Savannah will be back soon.”

I am Princess Revienne Evonhart, the Emperor's firstborn. To the world, I am known by many names: the crippled princess, the abandoned princess, the princess with a cane. As if those were not enough, after the Great War, they decided to give me another one: the Crippled Luna of the North. That was the price my father paid to the war hero, Kyros Caelun Mooncrest. The man they called a monster. The mad dog, the Duke of the North, who that feared by everyone. People whispered that he was ruthless, that he killed without hesitation, that his eyes burned with nothing but bloodlust. They said he never removed his helmet in public because no one could bear to see what was underneath. Some even claimed he carried a secret about his true nature. And so, instead of the second princess, it was me they sent. The crippled daughter. The sacrifice the royal family offered to the monster of the North. I told myself I had no choice. That this was the only way I could serve the Empire and please my father. But what I never expected was to find salvation in the man everyone feared. Because behind the armor of the Duke of the North, I found a heart. And with it, the truth about who he really is.

“I, Raven Roman, reject you, Alpha King Xander Black, as my mate.” I said my voice firm despite the pain in my heart but he only threw his head back and let out a dark, menacing laugh. “You? Reject me? I refuse your rejection, you can't escape me mate,” he spat his voice filled with hatred. "Because I am going to make you regret that you were born, you will beg for death but you won't find it. This is my promise to you.” ****** Raven is the most hated wolf in her pack for a crime her family committed against the Royal Family. She was hated, bullied and insulted at every turn, and as if things couldn't get twisted, fate decided to play a game on her, the one man who her family betrayed turns out to be her fated mate. The ruthless Alpha king Xander. The very man who despises her existence. She tried to reject him but he refused her rejection, promising to make her life a living hell. But things are not as they seem. There are secrets that need to be unraveled, a dangerous pull they cannot ignore, a bond they cannot sever. And as their worlds collide, Raven begins to uncover dark secrets buried deep within their pasts. Betrayal. Lies. Forces that threaten not only their bond but everything they’ve ever known. Will Xander and Raven look past their family hatred and join as one to fight their enemies or will their hatred consume them both?

“Goodbye, my pack. Goodbye, Alpha. You were the worst mistake I will never make again.” Alpha Xael of X-pack once had it all. A loving Luna, the pack’s own world-renowned miracle doctor and the glue that kept everything going. Until he and the pack forgot her worth. Until they betrayed her in the worst way possible. It is only when horror and doom befall upon them that they realise that only she can save them. Facing extinction, the pack will desperately call for the Alpha to bring back the Luna, but he is not even worthy to be in her presence. Faced with the realization that she was always out of his league and now no longer in his reach, what else is left to do? Can betrayed love be revived or is this the end of the mighty X-pack?

Could Fate have something in store for these two destined enemies? ****** “Do your worst, Priest,” I taunt, coughing my lungs out. “Whatever you have planned, I've had worse.” The grin on his face sends a jolt of fear straight to my heart, and I have a feeling that he's not going to make my death an easy one. “Oh, little lamb, you have no f**king idea who you're dealing with. I'm going to take my time with you, and when I'm done, you'll be begging me for your death.” With those lines, I knew my life was no longer mine; that Gabriel would enjoy every bit of torture he would inflict on my body.
