The Lycan King’s Reluctant Bride by Stevenson Dodson

She was never meant to belong to him.

But fate chose the one woman who could bring a powerful Lycan king to his knees.

Brylee Ray has spent her life surviving in the shadows, trusting no one and refusing to become a pawn in the dangerous games of supernatural rulers. But when an ancient conflict between Lycan kingdoms, witches, and wizards erupts, she finds herself captured and taken to the fortress of the most feared ruler in the paranormal world.

Arlo Stevenson is the ruthless Lycan King everyone fears. A warrior born to command, a ruler bound by duty, and a man who believes control is the only way to protect his kingdom. When he discovers Brylee is his fated mate, he faces the one challenge he cannot conquer with strength alone.

Her.

Their bond is undeniable. Their attraction is impossible to ignore. But Brylee refuses to surrender her freedom to a destiny she never chose, and Arlo must prove that she is more than a possession written into prophecy.

As ancient secrets awaken, forbidden magic rises, and enemies within the Lycan throne threaten to destroy everything they know, Brylee discovers that the monster the world fears may be the only person willing to protect her.

But loving a Lycan king comes with a price.

A forgotten bloodline.

A dangerous prophecy.

A crown built on betrayal.

When two kingdoms stand on the edge of war, Brylee and Arlo must decide whether their bond will become the force that destroys them… or the power that saves them all.

A dark, intense, and emotional paranormal romance filled with fated mates, a possessive Lycan king, forbidden love, supernatural politics, ancient secrets, and a heroine who refuses to be controlled.

Will Brylee escape the king who claimed her? Or will she discover that the most dangerous man in the world is the only one who can set her free?
