Rebecca Roberts Betrayed by an Alpha, Claimed by the Lycan King

What happens when the man who swore to protect you is the one who sells you? When your fated mate marks you not with love, but with a price? For three years, Lira's life was perfect. She was the beloved of Ronan, the future Alpha of the Silverwood Pack, and her everything. Their future was sealed, their love a certainty. But certainty is a luxury in the world of shifters. In one shattering moment, Ronan betrays her, trading her to secure the future of his pack. Lira is now the claimed property of the Lycan King, Viktor. He is a legendary ruler cloaked in shadows and power, a king whose reputation alone is a weapon. Dragged to his formidable, isolated castle, Lira expects a dungeon and chains. Instead, she finds a gilded cage and a captor whose steel-gray eyes see straight through her defiance to the fire within. She is determined to hate him. She is determined to fight. But Viktor is not the monster she expected. An undeniable, dangerous attraction sparks between them, a dark connection that terrifies and thrills her. Even as she finds herself drawn to this powerful king, she discovers an ancient power awakening inside her-a force that is wild, uncontrollable, and could be the key to her freedom or her ultimate destruction. In a kingdom on the brink of war, where traitors hide behind friendly faces and every alliance is a potential blade, Lira is torn between the Alpha who broke her heart and the King who holds her fate in his hands. But Viktor has his own deadly secrets, a curse that binds their lives together in ways Lira can't begin to imagine. This is a world where loyalty is a commodity, and love is the most dangerous game of all. It's a journey of heart-stopping betrayal, breathtaking passion, and the discovery that the greatest strength comes from the deepest wounds. Experience a story where a shattered heart must learn to trust again, and a captive must choose whether to become a queen or a casualty.
