Scorned for being the illegitimate child of the emperor, Arthur was sent to the battlefield the night after his marriage to the daughter of Marquess Julius. No one expected him to come back alive, yet, five years later, he returned a victorious war hero. In front of a cheering crowd he reunited with his wife, and... "She is not my wife." Rather than the marquess's daughter, Arthur had been tricked into marrying a lowly maid all those years ago. Marquess Julius, confident of Arthur's assured demise, had Reina Astarin the maid take his daughter's place to save her the humiliation of such an ill-fated union. Now, though, the marquess's foolproof plan is falling apart. Will the marquess dare admit to fooling the Imperial Family? Will Arthur seek justice? And will Reina Astarin ever be able to live a quiet life again? All Rights Reserved Written by Dalsaeowl.

"Look at me properly and try to remember." He implored her, his silvery eyes boring into hers. Maya raised her nervous eyes to meet his. Searching her head, she tried to remember where she may have met this man before. As she stared at him, a sense of familiarity began to settle. Those eyes... she'd seen them before. Where has she seen them? One by one, the images came. The pictures from a time she had forgotten. She had helped someone with eyes just like this. Still in his embrace, a daunting realisation began to set in. She'd met this man before. Long before he even dreamed of being a king... **************** A tyrant king conquers a kingdom so he can get married to her forgotten princess. People expect a marriage filled with strife and everything but none of that happens. Instead he treats her right, worships her and kisses the very ground she walks on. Why is that? People wonder. The reason is quite simple. Years ago, the same princess had saved his life from the bitter hands of death when he was betrayed by his half brother, the crown prince of Madonia.

[BTTAK is on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited! https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0F2KR6FVM?ref_=quick_view_ref_tag] Pack life for Ivy Pierce was perfect. Although abandoned at the Red Moon pack when she was just a pup, she was completely accepted by the Alpha and Luna, and therefore; the entire pack by association. She becomes one of the top trained female warriors in the pack alongside her wolf Seles, and is chosen to protect the Alpha and Luna due to her strength and ability. That is until tragedy strikes and Ivy's life is completely turned upside down. With her wolf locked away, Ivy has to adjust to life at the bottom of the ladder while trying to survive from the never-ending onslaught from her pack and the new Alpha. Convinced her life will never change for the better, Ivy admits defeat until a certain Alpha comes to visit and takes an odd interest in her. An Alpha that is respected, feared and is soon to be... The Alpha King. _______________________________ [COMPLETED AUGUST 18TH, 2023] [Chapter updates will be weekly, unless posted otherwise.] [18+, some mature content/themes, sex, swearing.] [Sexual themed chapters will be labelled with a disclaimer, and have been written in a way that you can skip these scenes if you prefer.] Spotify Playlist for this novel: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5L1aEG08ybWIYrOBvDynMy?si=8jkR4F2JS1-VSirNc2AM6A *** This work is completely created and written by me, and in no means can be copied, saved or re-posted to other sites, or used for personal use without my permission. *** Rankings #7 - Bound - September 2021 #5 - lunaqueen - December 2021/May 2022 #2 - alphaking - October 2022 #1 - werewolf - April 2023, September 2023 #1 - alphaking - April 2023 #1 - lunaqueen- April 2023 #1- alpha - April 2023 #1 - mates - April 2023 #1 - luna - April 2023

His chest glistened with water droplets dribbling down the glowing bronze skin. Resting, his strong muscular back against the rocks on the lake side, head lulled backwards, onyx eyes closed in utter salvation. "Your spying on me is utterly useless young tulip." Ink eyes opened, resting upon my little frame making me freeze. "What are you thinking? You have got this one chance....run away." He offered his eyes watching my each and every movement like a hawk. "I am a prisoner sire, I have heard stories....tales of how war prisoners are mercilessly butchered if they are caught and I can't afford to die....not yet...I have someone to feed and I will do anything for them." "Anything?" He asked in eerily calm voice. I nodded slowly a lump forming in my throat as my eyes glistened with tears with the scenes of men using my eighteen year body flashed infront of me making me tremble. Water splashed around as he rose to his full height inside the lagoon, his eyes solely focused on me, his feet moving forward, closing our distance altogether. "Azarios" I stiffened, my eyes snapping to his in utter surprise as I heard the name leaving his plump lips. His identity, the name which echoed throughout the dynasty making every living soul shudder. Killer Commander Beast He was the commander of Gladiators. Azarios, the Gladiator of Ambrose. "You will be the bride of mine." "You are my enemy, my contender, the person I hate with everything....every fibre in my soul." she fumed. "Too bad then... you are the person I love with every cell in my body." *No toxic relationship*
