Stolen by the Beastly Lycan King

Lorelai is an unwanted princess; a puppet in the hands of the royal family. Born weak and raised loyal only to her kingdom, she has no real power and is constantly abused by both her stepmother and her son. Her value lies in one thing only––marriage. Thus, she is to marry Duke Kalder, an old but powerful and influential man whose previous wives have all gone missing under mysterious circumstances. That is until she meets him. Tall, dark, strong, mysterious, irresistible, seductive. The King of Lycans. The King of Beasts. The Gypsy King. One who was once a slave now controls the biggest and strongest, most feared kingdom of the continent. And for some reason, he has his eyes set only on Lorelai. Important note: this is a historical fantasy novel and in its context, the word "Gypsy" is only used as a name of a nomad tribe and is not used as a slur.

A Political Threat

Lorelai's thin fingers trembled and she almost dropped the note to the floor, suddenly feeling lightheaded and cold. 

Marianna, having noticed her lady's distress, rushed to her with a look of concern on her aged face, supporting her from behind to help the princess keep her balance. "Your Highness! Is something the matter? Is it bad news?"

Lorelai needed a moment to collect her thoughts. 

Yes, it was bad news of sorts; not only for her, but for everybody else as well. 

'I was wondering why no one mentioned anything about yesterday's incident, especially since Duke Kalder's men were brutally massacred by not just anybody but citizens of the Beast Kingdom. I am convinced that the duke knows the truth and was already preparing for retaliation, but this? This goes beyond petty disagreements and revenge. This is a political threat!'

"Your Highness?"
