“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

I woke up in the medial wing, feeling like I had just insulted a donkey’s mother and received a swift reprisal. As the room faded into focus, rather than just being a blob of colors and noises, I looked to my right and found a very distressed Gravestone standing at my bedside. “Princess!” he shouted, taking my hand and kneeling beside me.


“Hello Gravestone…” I muttered. My voice was dry as a bone and weak from grogginess and blood loss. 


He forced a smile for me and stroked the top of my hand. “Hey there, Bel,” he whispered, just for us. We were alone in the hospital room, everyone else likely having other things to do across the castle after everything that happened. Once more, even if only for a moment, we could simply be us. Despite the injuries, despite the risk of someone walking in, I wanted this moment to last forever.
