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 delivered a swift, stinging slap across Althea's face. The young girl staggered back, her hand rising to touch her reddening cheek. Tears welled up in her eyes, a mix of pain and confusion.

Margaret's stern gaze bore into Althea. Her mother's fiery eyes were a stark contrast to Althea's, which held innocence and uncertainty. She took a deep breath, trying to control her anger but failing to hide her frustration. "You are not like the others, Althea. You're different, a curse upon our family."
Althea's young heart ached. She was just a child, unable to comprehend why her mother looked at her with such disdain. "I don't understand, Mother. Why am I a curse? What have I done?"
