Cannot be read as a stand-alone. ---- Belle is missing, war is coming, and a royal prophecy written hundreds of years ago is about to be fulfilled, changing the lives of Belle and Grayson forever. Belle is alone in a strange town, completely and utterly heartbroken after being both physically and emotionally abused by the man she thought she loved. Struggling to make ends meet, she must find a way to support herself without being affected by the constant, agonizing pain in her body, courtesy of her mate rejecting her to be with someone else. It's because of this constant reminder of what could have been that she is closed off to the world, determined to do things on her own from now on. Little does she know, her mate, the man who broke her, is searching for her. And he won't stop until he finds her. Grayson has spent the last few months watching his mate and love of his life get abused by the vampire controlling his body. Finally, he has been set free. However, things aren't as simple as they seem. Now that he's back in control, he has more than a few things to worry about. Becoming a hybrid, half-vampire, half-werewolf, is one thing. Finding out that he is meant to rule over millions as king of all creatures is another. And let's not forget about the war between vampires and werewolves that is about to take place in his backyard. But none of that matters after he finds out that his mate is nowhere to be found, having escaped him before he got the chance to explain what really happened. She is out in the world, completely unprotected, no idea that she is meant to take the throne alongside Grayson as the new queen of all creatures. A target has been placed on Belle's back. Many want her dead. Grayson can only hope that he finds her before anyone else does.

Belle has not had the best life. Most of it she spent taking care of her sick father while her mother ran off to sleep with other men. So you can imagine her frustration when, only a few months after the death of her father, her mother forces her to come spend the holidays with her and her new family. But what happens when she meets a certain alpha on the plane who claims that she belongs to him? ---- "Mine. Mate," he said, his deep, husky voice ringing in my ears. His hands tightened around me as his forehead came down to meet mine and he breathed in deeply. I let my eyes close as I basked in the feeling of his arms around me and the delicious sparks that were running through my body. I didn't even know that it was possible to feel this good. I felt his head move from mine as he nuzzled his nose into my neck. I tilted my head to give him better access and he let out an approving grunt. And then I felt him place a gentle kiss right where my neck and shoulder met. My knees went weak, my entire body going numb as a breathy sound came from my mouth. He smiled against my neck, chuckling and taking all of my weight into his arms as I leaned completely into him to stop myself from falling. "Hello, mate," he whispered in my ear. ------ This book is also known as Kidnapped By My Mate.
