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.

Althea's nervous laughter couldn't mask the truth in her words as she bit her lip and confessed, "Fine… I am scared of you, I don't like sitting close to you, I want to eat alone. I want to be by myself. Happy?"
Darian's face remained a mask of indifference, and a heavy silence enveloped the room as everyone watched with bated breath. She had just crossed a line, something considered audacious and perilous.
But the expected repercussions didn't materialize.
