"I fully expected you to say that I was the sort of Prince whose story would involve going into cahoots with the dragon, rather than slaying it."
Iolas smiled, but their was a level of seriousness to his statement.
"That is where you are wrong, dear prince."
Adelaide began,
"In our story you are the dragon."
______________
As villianous as he was handsome, dastardly Prince Iolas would have gotten away with his plan to marry Adelaide, a naive young princess, kill her King brother, and then take over the far away kingdom of Aelford; and indeed he would have, that is if it weren't for the meddling of one particular love sick stable boy.
Caught like tiger in a net, he was banished back to his home island kingdom, and locked deep below his own castle dungeons to be forgotten by his father, siblings and kingdom.
But when war breaks out in Aelford, and a call rings out accross the seas for aide, The King of the Isles offers his son one singular chance to redeem himself.
Can this villain rescue the kingdom he once sought to conquer? Save the damsel in distress, and unwillingly his soul in the process, that is if she doesnt kill him first? Or will he keep to his own dark and insidious ways?

The Wolven King {18+} (Sample)
[COMPLETED] As I was beginning to relax, a new terror coursed through my body at his next word, "Strip." "Ex-excuse me?" I blurted out. I wasn't getting undressed in front of him, I barely knew him. He must have been trying to gain something from me and I doubted my fear and embarrassment was what he wanted. Adrenous didn't say anything as he drew his hands up my back and halted at the laces of my dress. I felt him tug at one of the nots and I instantly pulled away and turned to face him, no longer caring that his manhood was out for all to see. Just like that part of him, he too was a dick. "I'm not getting undressed in front of you!" I yelled at him. "Your mine, Alivia," My name passed his lips easily and hearing him say it did things to me which I didn't want to admit. Instead I glared at him, he said I was his as if I was some kind of possession that he could do with as he pleased. He added, "Let me take care of you." I didn't know what he meant by that, all I knew was that I had no intention of doing as he had asked. ✨🌕✨ BOOK ONE OF THE KING SERIES ⚠️ WARNING: this book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+.
