Claimed by the Alpha King
Victoria Athena Johnson has spent her entire life hiding in plain sight. The Beta's little sister-strong-willed, sharp-tongued, and fiercely independent. But what no one knows is that she's not just another wolf in the pack. She's something more. Something ancient. Something powerful. For years, she's managed to keep her secret buried, living under the radar, refusing to bow to the laws of fate. But fate has other plans. When Alpha King Atlas Miles Blackwood arrives, the most feared and ruthless ruler of their kind, Victoria's world shatters. He's come to claim what's his-his mate. His queen. And the moment their eyes lock, their bond ignites like wildfire. But Victoria is no ordinary mate. She's not a submissive she-wolf meant to be conquered. She refuses to be owned. Refuses to let anyone, even an Alpha King, control her destiny. Atlas, however, does not take no for an answer. He is a king. A warrior. A beast that does not know the meaning of surrender. The more she resists, the more he is determined to break her-until she has no choice but to accept what the universe has already decided. But as dark forces rise, and Victoria's hidden power begins to awaken, secrets long buried start to unravel. The truth about her bloodline. The prophecy tied to her fate. And a war that will either tear them apart-or bring them together. Because the Alpha King may have claimed her. But in the end, she might just be the one who claims him.Complete
