Why is she so involved with the werewolves? Which side does she choose when the line between friend and foe begins to blur? And who is the dark-haired stranger she so desperately longs for?

(Eastis) "I started when you only had a few chapters, and have been on the edge of my seat since."(Vettechk) "I can't explain how much I loved this book." (Abbeys3088) "This was one of the books that helped me get out of my reeding slump. When I started this book and realized how good it was i couldn't stop reading! And I still don't get how this book didn't make top 10 in the werewolf category yet, because it deserves it!" (Hannubear) "This book is one of the most well written here in Wattpad. I loved it sooo much. Your writing is so beautiful honestly!!" (Reliverelove)

"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor. In a desperate bargain, she trades her freedom for her mother's life. But as she becomes the king's unwilling companion, Aira discovers a terrifying truth-Kael is cursed, unable to die, unable to feel the mate bond that should tie them together. As dark forces conspire against them and Kael spirals further into self-destruction, Aira must decide: escape and save herself, or risk everything for the beast who might never love her back. In a world where fate is both a gift and a curse, can she break the chains of destiny before it's too late? 1 in Kael on 24/4/2025 1 in Captive on 26/4/2025 2 in dreamlandbooks on 26/4/2025 1 in beautyandthebeast on 27/5/2025 1 in historicalromance on 30/5/2025 1 in werewolf on 05/10/2025
