Synopsis

[COMPLETE - Bronze $2,000 Winner WSA 2021] Elreth is a Princess in the world of Anima—where humans can shift into the form of their animal ancestors. As the Lion King's daughter, Elreth breaks a thousand-year tradition when she challenges her father for dominance—and wins. But as the first known dominant Alpha Female, she faces a lonely, and dangerous Rule.



Aaryn, Elreth’s best friend, has always secretly loved her beauty, and her strength. But as a member of the wolf-tribe, and unable to shape-shift, he is not viewed as the right Mate for Anima's first Dominant Queen.



When events force Aaryn to admit his feelings, for the first time, Elreth's eyes are opened to Aaryn not just as a friend, but as a male--and her True Mate. But Aaryn also has secrets. Secrets spanning decades, that open Elreth's eyes to the threats against her people, and threaten to tear down the royal family, and the Anima as a whole.



Can love really conquer all? Can Elreth convince a prejudiced people to accept Aaryn as her mate before these secrets threaten not just her rule, but her life?

*****



Then, as Aaryn stared at Elreth, his scent changed. Which only confused her more, until something flashed behind his eyes. Something she’d only ever seen in her father’s face when he was staring at her mother.



Desperation. Joy. Hunger.



But that was crazy. Why would—?



And suddenly, like a cub tumbling down a grassy hill to land on its feet, everything fell into place.



Everything.



Her mouth dropped open. She blinked. And blinked again. And for the first time in a very long time, she looked at him.



Not at her confidante.



Not at her closest ally.



Not at the friend who’d been present for every major milestone in her life.



She looked at Aaryn. The male. The wolf.



She stared at his silver-white hair, that scattered over his ice-blue eyes, fixed on her, and created a barrier between them. She looked at the strength in his jaw, shadowed because of the late hour. She let her gaze drift down the cords of his neck, and his broad shoulders and the wide, smooth expanse of his chest that rose and fell rapidly. And she let herself remember the ladders of muscle that painted his torso—hidden by the white shirt he wore. She swallowed. She’d seen every inch of him at some point.



Well, almost.



Her mouth went dry.

Having cone over from AimeeLynn’s falling in love with the King Of Beasts, I thought I knew what to expect. And then Elreth’s story hit me like a freight train in the first chapter. To be clear you won’t need to have read about anima before to love this. Though it does add a whole level of feels. It’s just going to get better and better, I can tell.

There aren’t enough adequate words in the English language to describe how incredible this book is, nor what this book means to me. I am Pro-Aimee Lynn books for life, and I don’t think I could ever say anything negative about any of her works - they are real, raw, well developed and edited - this second journey into Anima and the WildWood is an even better experience than the first. I recommend reading Falling in Love with the King of Beasts first, and then start right into this one. This author is a gift to the world and I’m so grateful to have found even a small corner of her creative cave. I wanted to write a review as soon as the book ended, but I really needed to process everything and take it all in, it was just that amazing. As with any of Aimee’s books, the stories will stay with you. So buckle up buttercup and enjoy every chapter. Happy reading, Tribe! ❤️❤️❤️

Another marsterful story from my new favorite alternate reality, the Anima! Falling in Love With The King if Beasts grabbed my by the ears and pulled me right in. But this new installment has pulled my by the heartstrings in what I can only describe as a whirlwind of emotions. My King is paving the way to a new day for the Anima in propelling his beloved Elreth to fulfill her destiny. I can’t wait to see her break all the rules, misconceptions, and stereotypes as she becomes the new Alpha, and the Queen of Beasts. Bravo AimeeLynn! 👏👏

The author gifted us the first two Chapters, from the author section in, Falling in Love with the King of Beasts. I added it to my library immediately! I have 4 books going, (now 5) on WebNovel, and AimeeLynn is the Best Author! So much detail, you can see It, yet not so nuch detail, where you’re mad you wasted coins to read about it... I wish I could get these books on Audible.

How can it be addicting like this after only a handful of chapters?! Such good writing, story, world, characters, etc. I can’t wait to see how much more we get to learn of the Anima that were introduced in King of Beasts - Elreth’s story already promises to be inspiring.

Reviewing at 25 chapters. This story is amazing so far and I can't wait to see where the author takes us. This builds very naturally on previous work but is done in such a way that you could read them in order, at the same time or just one. The world created for these stories is fascinating and the characters and relationships are very well written. I definitely recommend, especially if you like a good plot alongside your romance!

I fell in love with The King of Beast so I couldn’t help myself when this one started. This is great as a stand alone novel but also is amazing with the backstory from Elreth’s parents and Anima. I am floored by this novel! I can’t put it down!
