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.

Stepping out of the bathroom with a towel pressed to my neck, I walked towards Tristan.


"The vessel we used for the ritual was a vampire," I said. "That's why you are like this. That's why you had blood lust."


"You're the one who didn't choose the right vessel for the spell," he said, shrugging his shoulders. "What's the problem?"


"The problem is that you are now a vampire, and you would be craving more blood."


"I promise you, I have it under control," he said.


"Under control?" I scoffed. "You killed five women."


"That was because it was my first time," he said. "I only wanted to take a sip, but I ended up draining them of their blood."


"Right now, I have experience with this body. I have it under control," he said.


"The mayor of this city was here this morning, and she reported five women were found dead on the street," I said. "You killed them. How am I supposed to take responsibility for that?"
