Rise Of The Lycan Queen

"He was born to hunt the lost Queen. Fate demanded he kneel to her instead."

Aurelia Veyne spent twenty-five years believing she was just an orphan chopping firewood in a forgotten border village. But when a Blood Moon turns the sky to crimson, ancient silver fire erupts beneath her skin, and the stones of the Dominion awaken to her blood. She is the last living descendant of Queen Vaelith, carrying the reincarnated soul magic of the First Lycan Queens—a sovereign bloodline the ruling dynasty spent decades hunting into extinction. Rhydor Vale is the feared "Wolf King" of Blackthorn—a ruthless, battle-scarred monarch who rules a fractured empire through iron and terror. Raised by a tyrannical father to believe the mythical Queen’s return would destroy the realm, Rhydor swore an oath to personally swing the executioner’s blade the moment she surfaced. The problem? The instant he pins her against the pines, his inner beast recognizes its other half. Aurelia is his fated mate. She despises the crown he wears, remembering the blood of her ancestors washed into its iron. He refuses to crown a stranger whose raw magic could reduce his kingdom to ash. But as court vipers plot their downfall and an ancient shadow awakens beneath the frozen northern barrows, the line between hatred and dangerous obsession blurs into an inferno. To survive the coming apocalypse, the ruthless predator who swore to slaughter her must make an impossible choice: cling to a legacy of blood, or burn his own throne to the ground to keep his Queen alive. "You think this is just magic, Aurelia? When that blade came for your neck, I didn’t think about the prophecy. I didn't think about my throne. I don't want destiny... I want you."
