In the Fae Realm, Rael stands on the edge of a crown he never truly asked for. Born of conflicting bonded magic - frost and flame - and raised in a palace laced with secrets, his thirty-year coronation looms, and with it, a fate bound by tradition. Choose a mate. Choose a consort. Take the throne. Every Xlyrian ruler must bind themselves not only to a mate, but also to a consort... A fae who will be stripped of magic to balance the storm within, and be of the utmost importance to the throne's power. But the weight of royalty doesn't come with freedom. His bloodline demands balance, and balance demands sacrifice. As his siblings tease, the court whispers, and power-hungry nobles circle, Rael must navigate the pressures of legacy, duty, and a heart that longs for something more than expectation. ... And when he gets it, he has to figure out how hard he's willing to fight to keep it.

When the three Kingdoms hold a meeting with the courts in their Regions, claiming a prophecy was delivered to each, whispers start to stir. Wrathborn bloodlines? Coming to the Realm? A war brewing? In a Realm where Sulken - creatures who feed on souls, and are both elemental and eternal - rule, and are shaped by the Gods to punish and preserve, begin to shift, things start going wrong. Prophecies speak of this and that. Wars and ruins. Conflicts and hidden bloodlines. Creatures of death, and destruction that even the dark can't escape. Now the Allseers - keepers of the Gods' oldest truths - have named a threat. The wrathborn bloodlines stir with power none are prepared for. Ayren, a Sulken with a divine power, is on the run with his family and another. Another prophecy shows, and he's sent to the Dark Court for protection. Then he meets Draxien, the war-born Leader bound to shadows... and to Ayren in ways neither understands. Their bond is unnatural. Undeniable. And it may be the key to unraveling the truth from the prophecy. Because across the fractured Courts, a war brews not only for this Realm... but for the next if they're not careful. Not all written is truth. --- Some bloodlines were cursed. Others were erased. And some were made to burn the world down.

[ REWRITING ] - BOOK 1 - BOUND SERIES "When the demands became violent, they became lethal and when they became lethal, they realized just how far they were willing to go to keep their bond intact." ___________________________ RHOGON STEELE Four years ago - a fire devastated my lands and those around it. I lost everything. Majority of my pack, my friends, my family but I found love again in the arms of my chosen mate, Mateo - who also lost his entire pack from the devastation. Over the years, we found even more love and built our bond with the addition of three more Alphas - Zane, Jett and Hendrix. We were happy. Life was starting to look up. That was - until the day that I found my fated mate. I never once thought the day would come that I would finally meet him after taking so many chosen mates. Finding my fated was supposed to be a time of bliss, of love, of captivation as I brought him into the bond that I shared with my 4 chosen mates - The only problem was the very moment that I met my fated, the entirety of my bond was in jeopardy when the weight of the demands surrounding my fated started to shatter everything that I've re-built. When the demands surrounding my bond finally broke through the surface, my mates and I find out just how strong our love was and just how far we were willing to go to keep our bond intact.

Books 2 & 3 will be in full! ----- Blurb for book 1: 𝐃𝐘𝐋𝐀𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐒 I messed up - I messed up in typical Dylan fashion because I could never stand up to my Dad, I just couldn't be the Alpha that I was meant to be, that my older brother would have been proud of. Instead I was the Alpha that locked his mate away for a crime that I didn't even know if he actually committed, I thought about rejecting him because he was a man and I'm not gay and I refused to give into the bond and love him back. I felt insecure around Raiden because he's a feline. I was insecure because he's stronger, faster, more dominant and I hated how much my body gave into him - how much my body wanted to submit to him because I'm an Alpha and Alphas don't submit. So I caved and I tainted our bond, I hurt him beyond repair and when I just couldn't deny the bond anymore, I found out just how hard it would actually be to gain his trust back - to get him to want me again. Our bond ended with my mistake but our story began with my redemption.
