“I first met Gravestone when he saved my father from drowning. And that is when the troubles began.”
Belasarius, the princess of the kingdom of Wat, learns one night that her father nearly drowned in the river. His savior, a mysterious mercenary named Gravestone, asks only for work as payment. To Belasarius’ annoyance, the gruff, ill-mannered merc is hired as her personal bodyguard. For all their headbutting, though, the two will come to rely upon each other when Belasarius becomes the target of a violent cult that seeks her blood. 
Fortunately, the lazy and neurotic princess is equipped with a genius mind, and her gruff but lovable bodyguard is equipped with the power to shift into an eight-foot tall furry killing machine. Political intrigue, budding romance, and a metric a*s ton of swearing await. Come meet the Princess and her Alpha, Gravestone. You just might be glad you did.
The Princess’ Alpha, Gravestone is created by J. D. Tibbetts, an eGlobal Creative Publishing Signed Author.

The Princess’ Alpha, Gravestone

Shame is dead and I have killed it. After gorging on enough unhealthy food to make an entire warehouse of axle grease from the fat I’d built up (no regrets motherf*ckers) I awoke from my food coma thanks to Gravestone shaking me lightly on the shoulder. “C’mon Bel, Addicus recommended us an inn, it’s too late to sneak back into the castle now.”


Bel. A nickname. Better than Princess. More personal. I quite liked it. I nodded groggily and eventually found my way to standing upright. 


We made our way over to the inn Addicus referred us to, a small but cozy looking cottage called the Lovers’ Rest. Cheeky bastard. Once inside, Gravestone made his way over to the front desk and asked for a room. 


“Only one bed left, I’m afraid,” said the kind old lady who ran the inn. One bed. One. Bed. A singular sack. A particular platform. An indivisible item for sleeping.
