Elara:the forsaken queen

Elara Throne, the wolfless outcast of Mooncrest. Mocked, stepped on, and treated as less than nothing, she endured with one fragile hope: that her eighteenth birthday would bring her a mate who might finally accept her. But fate was cruel. Her mate turned out to be Alpha Lucian Ashborne, the one man she could never reach. Instead of love, his gift to her was rejection, leaving her to die as he claimed Rosaline Velmora. Heartbroken, Elara chose to walk away from the pack that had only ever given her pain. But even her path to freedom was stolen when she was sold to the king of Nythera himself. Zevryn Aldebane—born of vampire and lycan blood, feared as the unyielding ruler of a kingdom where werewolves, witches, and vampires lived side by side under a fragile balence held by the very king. Yet ever since the death of his queen, Zevryn Aldebane had become a hollow shadow, his enemies circling like vultures. On the night she met him, Elara was drugged, stripped of choice, and bound to a fate she despised. That night gave her pleasure she didn’t ask for and hatred for every man in her life that burned even deeper. But it also awakened something she never expected. Shadows. Power. A darkness inside her stirring to life. The king she loathed makes her drawn to himself, like a forbidden sin, while the alpha who once cast her aside falls to his knees. Surrounded by desire, betrayal, and schemes far greater than her, Elara must learn to wield her shadows or risk being consumed by the very men who want to claim her.
