{COMPLETE, UNEDITED} - Book 1 of The King's Prey Series.

"We were both raised blindsided by what could've been of our lives. The broken princess, shielded by any evil that would bring her suffering; the vindictive Alpha, raised through a life of consequences and authority. Two different people nurtured to only uphold the positions they would end up claiming."

Grown into a life of comfort by a corrupted kingdom, Princess Anastasia Fawn has never felt so out of place with herself. While her neglective royal parents want an heir to their throne, she dreams of a life beyond the protective walls of her kingdom. But Mylithia holds secrets as ancient as its very foundation--and whatever creatures lie beyond those tall walls have always been rumored as barbarous. The Ancient Woods isn't unfamiliar territory to Samuel Knight though--the notorious Alpha of the Phantomridge warriors. But living amongst the beasts of the night comes with a price for the human kingdoms, despite the Treaty that has kept their divided worlds tranquil for a century. 

When one charity ball leads to the slaughtering of thousands of her people, Anastasia is forced to face the consequences of her parent's actions, learning they're not as honest and loyal to Mylithia as they seemed. A debt is to be paid to the savages--more specifically though, to their king. While he is feared by all--the image of the Devil himself--she is the King's prey.

I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.
