Alec

King of Auremys, Alec has spent his entire life learning how to control his beast; now he must learn when to trust it, when to restrain it, and when to trust his mate, Delilah instead.

Unfortunately, Alec is beginning to discover that loving his mate may be considerably easier than being her mate.

Human traditions, royal expectations, marriage preparations, and the responsibilities of a future queen are only the beginning. As the wedding approaches, Delilah begins to experience the more instinctive side of their bond-and Alec is forced to confront desires that are becoming increasingly difficult to separate from those of the beast within him. His beast wants to claim her. Alec wants her just as desperately. But neither of them wants to risk hurting her.

Please note that this is the sequel to my previous book Delilah. While you do not have to read that book first to understand this one, it would certainly help to make the story easier to understand.
