Fated Bonds; The Lycan Chosen Queen
“I can only be the villain for you. Never to you” “I don't care…because I would do the same” Althea said with a slight smirk on her lips. *** All her life, Althea wanted a simple life. She had the love of her life and she would have his kids. But everything changed when he broke her heart. The King of Elodonia is now looking for a mate. One to be his queen and wife. Althea prays she would not be chosen but unfortunately fate wasn't on her side. But who said the king was looking for a queen? No, he was looking for his next plaything and he may have found his victim in the heart of a young woman. Life wasn't a bed of roses, so don't expect fluffiness in the castle.

She passed by a gallery of regal portraits adorning the hallway, resolutely ignoring their painted gazes. It felt as though the eyes of past kings were trailing her every step.
Summoning her courage, the maid took a deep breath and pushed open the imposing door. In a hushed tone, she announced, "Your Majesty, Lady Althea," her voice quivering with reverence.
