“I’d never felt more alive in my life. It was like I had been living a half-life up to this point with Caine’s mark poisoning every moment, every thought… every feeling.”
*** 
Amaya, Princess of Emerald Mountain, is finally coming of age. She’s set to formalize an arrangement between Caine, the Alpha of Wormwood, and her father. When Caine callously rejects their bond, Amaya’s father banishes her– forever. With nowhere to turn, she ends up in the arms of her pack’s sworn enemy, alone in a territory of darkness and nightmares… The Kingdom of Shadowguard.

Mated to the Alpha King of Shadows

I could feel the intensity of Wren’s eyes burning holes in the back of my head as I slowly walked the rows of shelves in the library. I ran my finger along the bindings of the books as I read titles that I’d never heard of from authors I had no idea existed. 


The library, like most rooms in this castle, was massive and filled to the brim with well-loved books. Two long wooden tables were situated in the middle of the room. Each had multiple stacks of books of various sizes, papers, and quills. The ornate rugs were threadbare as were the cushions of all the chairs. The room smelled like parchment, leather, and burnt wood. I felt as if I was wrapped in a blanket.
