Aaliyah never thought her life would end up this way. Framed for the death of her brother’s mate, her brother punishes her for justice of his mate. But just then, the Lycan King, Tristan appears, claiming her as his mate.
At first it feels like he was saving her, but it quickly turns into something far from that. Aaliyah tries to convince herself that she has escaped the nightmare of her pack and brother. But the Lycan King, Tristan didn’t save her out of love. Bound by an old Lycan tradition debt that must be paid every decade, Tristan has his own reasons for claiming her and it has nothing to do with the mating bond that they shared. A debt that would cost her freedom, and perhaps even her life.
As debts demands to be paid and enemies claws in, Tristan must face an impossible choice: honour his responsibility and sacrifice Aaliyah, or go against the tradition and risk everything to protect the woman he was never meant to love.

Volume 2:

Four years have passed in Vlẽkhut, and war is still raging. The conflict between hybrids and Lycans grows worse, while the battle for the throne turns into a struggle for power as powerful Lycan emerges, fighting for the crown. Amidst the war, Aaliyah, still on the run from Vladimir after her husband's death, rises with power. She is now determined to claim the throne that rightfully belongs to her husband. She will take revenge on all those who destroyed her family and find a way to bring her husband back from the dead.

Gulping the whiskey down, I tried to calm my wolf, who was preparing to shift. The full moon shone high in the sky, casting its glow upon me. My wolf was restless, but I knew I couldn't shift here.


Leaving my room, I went to the gallery and found Tristan painting. He had already finished my artwork, and it looked beautiful. I was impressed.


"Tristan," I said, and he turned around. "I need to leave. It's a full moon. My wolf needs a release."


He studied me for a moment, setting the brush down. "You should be careful. There are vampires out there in the woods."


"I'm not a child, Tristan," I said. "My wolf is familiar with me now. She can protect me."


"I know," I said, feeling the pressure clamp down on my chest. "I'll be back after the shift."


Tristan nodded, closing the distance between us. He raised his hand to touch my cheek. "Be back in time, Aaliyah. And be careful. I'd hate to feel that you're in danger."
