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

When I opened my eyes, I was in the front seat of Tristan's car. He was driving at high speed, anger etched into his brow as he gripped the steering wheel.

"I have failed you multiple times, Aaliyah," he said. "I promise to protect you, yet I keep failing."

I frowned slightly. "How could you have known about the attack? Don't blame yourself."

"It's not about that, little mouse. You are my wife. You have my son in your womb. I can't imagine what would happen if this was an attack from the witches," he said.

"Fine?" he asked. "You have a vampire bite on your neck. Don't tell me you're fine, Aaliyah."

"Let me swear a new oath to you," he murmured. "I promise that nothing like this will happen again. I will not let anyone hurt you. Not while you are pregnant."

Nothing would hurt me more than losing Tristan.
