“Mate.”

I stared in awe at the beautiful creature before me.
A Lycan, here in my Pack. This couldn’t be happening.
The Lycans were driven extinct centuries ago. Yet here he was, and I couldn’t fight the magnetic pull dragging me toward him.
He took a step closer to my father, who was standing protectively in front of me. “You have something of mine, and I want it back.”
“Oh yeah? What?” My father snarled.
The Lycan looked straight at me.
“My mate.”
Cleo has lived her entire life without her wolf, and she’s accepted that she doesn’t have one. But when she meets her mate, a long-lost Lycan king, she feels an awakening that will change her life forever.

I met my mate as a child.
I was lost in the woods, and his calming voice guided me to safety without ever revealing himself.
Since then, he’s watched over me but never showed himself. I yearn to touch him, to hold him.
Yet still, he lurks in the shadows, never claiming me.
I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. Am I not good enough for him?
But then, when I turn 21, I’m attacked by rogues and left for dead. As I feel the life drain from my body, a creature appears on the edge of my blurry vision.
“Stay strong, little mate. You’re mine now.”
As the mate bond surges between us, I know he’s not a wolf.
He’s something older… Darker… Deadlier.
Who the hell is my mate?
And what will happen to me now?
