The Alpha King's Mate

For fourteen years, Alpha King Cassian Blackwood has waited for the mate the Moon Goddess promised him.

At thirty-two, he's long since stopped believing she'll ever come. Most wolves find their mates between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one. Cassian's failure to find his has become a political problem, and his council has finally convinced him to choose a suitable bride. So they throw a ball.

Lillian Winter has no interest in becoming anyone's queen.

At twenty-two, she's the daughter of the Beta of the Wintertooth Guardians and has spent years preparing to one day take over her father's position. She's ambitious, independent, and perfectly content with the future she's planned for herself.

Then she walks into the royal ball.

Across a crowded ballroom, Lillian's eyes meet Cassian's.

And both of their wolves recognize the truth.

Mates.

In a world where the bond must be confirmed through touch, one dance changes everything.

Cassian has finally found the woman he's spent half his life waiting for.

But Lillian isn't the obedient queen his council expected. She questions his decisions. Challenges his traditions. Pushes him to see the kingdom differently. And the more Cassian falls for her, the more the people around him begin to realize that Lillian isn't simply his mate.

She's changing the king. But not everyone wants the kingdom to change.

With a council determined to preserve the old ways, jealous women who believe they deserve Cassian, and a growing threat hiding within the kingdom itself, Lillian and Cassian will have to discover whether their mate bond is strong enough to survive everything coming for them.

Because finding your mate is only the beginning.

Learning how to love them is where the real battle begins.
