betrayal

“I do not forgive betrayal, Zarelle. I collect it. And now, it's time to pay your debt.” ~~~ Zarelle was the "unlucky jinx" of the Moon-Crest Pack. Wolfless, weak, and a disgrace to her family. To prove her worth, she accepted a suicide mission: infiltrate the Lycan Kingdom, seduce the “Devil King” Lucien Storm, and poison him to pave the way for an ambush. She thought she succeeded. She thought she was running toward freedom and the arms of her true love, Tyler. But at the border of the freelands, the world folded. Zarelle woke up back in the king’s bedroom to a terrifying reality: Lucien knew she was a spy from the very first day. Even worse? Her adopted father didn't send her to be a hero—he sold her as a debt payment. Now, trapped in the clutches of a man who doesn't forgive, Zarelle must survive a king who wants to ruin her and a pack that wants her dead and navigate the Lycan court's shadows while her heart begins to beat for the wrong man. To Lucien, Zarelle is an obsession he can't trust but can't let go. But as Lucien’s secrets begin to unravel, she realizes the "Devil" might be the only one telling her the truth… and his obsession might be the only thing keeping her alive.

Aika never expected that reading a novel before bed would drag her into the very world she despised. She wakes up as a side character—a lowly maid who, in the original story, dies nameless. Without power, without protection, and armed only with her memory of the plot, Aika knows one thing: “If she wants to live, she must stay away from the villainess.” The problem is, it is Elowen—the cold, manipulative villainess feared by the entire palace—who is the first to look at her as if Aika is more than just a pawn. Elowen is supposed to be the heroine’s main enemy. She is supposed to die at the end of the story. And Aika was never supposed to be involved with her. Yet amid political intrigue, palace conspiracies, and a world that forces everyone to choose a side, Elowen offers Aika something she has never had: protection—at the price of absolute loyalty. As the line between manipulation and emotion begins to blur, Aika must choose: survive by following the story’s original path… or shatter fate alongside the woman she was meant to hate. Because in this world, loving the villainess is not just dangerous— it is an act of betrayal against the story itself.

Before there was a crown between them, there was a home. Two girls grew up under the same roof — not sisters by blood, but by choice and circumstance. The Queen, born to privilege and destiny. The other, a quiet, bright-eyed girl taken in and raised alongside her, sharing laughter, secrets, and dreams of futures neither fully understood. They promised nothing would ever divide them. Years later, one of them becomes Queen. The other becomes the King’s obsession. When the King first notices her, it feels accidental — a glance held too long, a kindness that lingers. But admiration soon hardens into something consuming. His love is intense, possessive, unwavering. He does not court her; he claims her. In his eyes, she is no longer a childhood companion or a subject of the crown — she is something he must have. The Queen sees the shift before anyone else does. What begins as insecurity grows into jealousy, and jealousy into quiet hatred. The friendship forged in girlhood begins to fracture under suspicion and pride. To the Queen, it feels like betrayal. To the girl, it feels like being trapped in a story she never chose. Caught between a King whose love suffocates and a Queen whose resentment burns, she must navigate a world where affection is power and loyalty can turn deadly. All she wants is a simple love — one not ruled by crowns or control. But in a kingdom where obsession wears the mask of devotion, survival may demand the ultimate sacrifice. King’s Wives: Escaping Obsessive Love is a haunting tale of friendship undone by power, of love twisted into possession, and of a young woman fighting to keep her heart — and her life — intact.
