Aaliyah never thought her life would end up this way. Framed for the death of her brother’s mate, her brother punishes her for justice of his mate. But just then, the Lycan King, Tristan appears, claiming her as his mate.
At first it feels like he was saving her, but it quickly turns into something far from that. Aaliyah tries to convince herself that she has escaped the nightmare of her pack and brother. But the Lycan King, Tristan didn’t save her out of love. Bound by an old Lycan tradition debt that must be paid every decade, Tristan has his own reasons for claiming her and it has nothing to do with the mating bond that they shared. A debt that would cost her freedom, and perhaps even her life.
As debts demands to be paid and enemies claws in, Tristan must face an impossible choice: honour his responsibility and sacrifice Aaliyah, or go against the tradition and risk everything to protect the woman he was never meant to love.

Claimed by the Lycan King

The bathroom door opened, and Tristan walked out with a towel around his waist.

His eyes widened in shock. "Why does your belly look swollen?"

"I... I don't understand," I said, turning my reflection to the mirror. I stumbled backward when I saw deep claw scratches on my skin.

The door suddenly opened, and Sarah walked in.

"Oh my god! It's already happening," Sarah said.

"What's happening?" Tristan asked.
