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.

Darian led Althea through the grand hallways of the Lycan castle, a place where few dared to venture without permission. His steps were measured and confident, yet he couldn't help but glance at Althea from time to time.
She was a study in contrast to the stern, battle-hardened King. Her delicate features, dark hair, and the subtle scent of wildflowers that clung to her made her a stark contrast to the somber surroundings of the castle.
Althea's footsteps echoed in the grand hallways of the Lycan castle, her eyes bright with curiosity.
She couldn't help herself; the grandeur of the place had awakened her inquisitiveness.
