“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

We stumbled back into our room late into the night almost well into the morning of the next day. It’d been so long since anyone could let down their hair and just have fun. I danced mostly with Wren but also with King Orion, Asher, and Saunder. Tynan and Jessa spent their entire night dancing with each other, they snuck off a little after midnight. 


I was drunk from the excitement and success of the night. There were no rejections, banishments, or war. It was fun to be with Wren, too. The ball acted as our official coming out, the official declaration of our mating. 


It was exciting to have Wren proudly show me off to the guests. Caine never showed me off, I was always showing him off. I couldn’t help but share in Wren’s pride. He was so strong in character, powerful physically, and just sexy. Like, damn. I was a very lucky woman.
