"To kill a king, especially a werewolf king, you must be strong and agile, intelligent and cunning. You were none of those things. One of the rebels, or whatever you call your little rag tag group of traitorous murderers, worked for my father. He told him that Alexander's son would try to assassinate him. I obviously didn't know who you were or I wouldn't have been dancing with you, but we knew you were coming and we knew that we were going to catch you."
The werewolf species have lived on the island ever since the Magna Venationibus of 1859 under the control of the Hart family.
Princess Olivia Hart's life is surrounded by pretty pink dresses, lavish parties, and war. For as long as she can remember, her father has been fighting off a rebellious force that threatens to destroy the entire Hart family. When she learns that a murder attempt will be made on her father at her 18th birthday party, she's immediately put on edge.
At the party, she is distracted by a handsome stranger that causes her heard to pound, tingles to go up her spine, her palms to sweat, and her breath to quicken. But when he commits a terrible deed, she's surprised and disgusted, yet she still finds herself yearning to see him and to hear his voice.
Emily is the only daughter of Alpha King Alaric Grayson. She is a princess but not weak. How will she respond when she finds out her mate has been killing werewolves world wide? Can she deal with his demons? Will they accept each other as mates?
Story excerpt
"Titan!" Dad yells at him. Titan... it's a strong name but it doesn't feel quite right. He jumps up and pulls me into his chest. "Let her go boy." Dad says and I can feel his growl shake my chest as he holds me tight.
"Mine!" Titan growls dipping his head to my neck and breathing deeply.
"Come on Meme." Dad says holding his hand out to me. He looks worried. Will Titan hurt me? I thought mates couldn't hurt each other? Titan pulls me tighter to him. "Titan! Let her go! You're hurting her!" As soon as dad says that I feel Titan loosen his grip slightly. I turn so that I can look up at him and place my hand on his face forcing him to focus on me instead of my dad. When he finally looks in my eyes he seems worried.
"I'm ok." I whisper trying to calm him... "you can let me go." He growls again and seems to panic at the thought of losing me.
"Mine!" Titan says. Dad tries to reach for me. When Titan sees his movement he pulls me away from my dad and growls again "Mine!" He says desperately trying to keep me close to him.
"He's my dad, Titan... he won't hurt me." I try to soothe the beast. I don't really want to let him go but I know if this goes on much longer Titan will get hurt.
"Mine!" He growls softly, nuzzling his nose into my neck.
"Yours." I whisper pulling away so I can hold his face. "But I need to go to my dad right now... please Titan." I beg him. He looks over to my dad who is still holding out his hand expectantly then looks back to me. With a nod he let's me go and I take my dad's hand.
"Take him!" Dad commands as he pulls me away. Many men tackle Titan to the ground.
