Bloodbound to the Beastly King

“That mark on your neck..” he began “No one, must know about the bond between us.”

Adina looked at him, startled. “W-what?”

“You will cover your neck everyday. You will live as you have and you will never speak of what happened yesterday. I will never acknowledge you as my mate. Never.”

Her eyes glistened with unshed tears. “Why? Why did you mark me if you didn’t want me?”

“If I had a choice, I wouldn’t even look at you.” He stepped closer, the cold in his eyes crueler than anything she’d ever seen. “Do you really think I’d choose you? A murderer?” His lip curled. “You killed your Alpha’s heir. Do you think anyone would want that as a mate?”

Framed for killing her Alpha’s pup. Adina is stripped off her title, and sold as a slave.

Adina was once Luna of her pack, now she’s chained and sent to the most feared ruler in the realm. Thorne Vargan Rhukor, the cursed Lycan King. A beast whispered about in nightmares. A killer who murdered his own mate and fed her remains to vultures.

But when their eyes meet, everything changes.

A forgotten bond ignites.

A prophecy stirs.

And the King who vowed to never love again… wants her.

In a world of beasts, bargains, and betrayal… how much is a soul really worth?
