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

Out in the hallway, several feet in front of Tristan, I stopped when she called me.

"Do you think he's telling the truth?" she asked.

"I don't know," I said. "You were there when I questioned him, and he denied everything. I don't know if he's telling the truth."

"I really hope he is," Hayley said, rubbing her hand over her temples. "Because I don't want to think about what Aiden would do to him if he finds out otherwise."

"I have questions," I said. "Like, who was behind the attack that night?"

I turned to her. "Vampires rarely attack my people. I haven't seen them do so since I was born."

"Someone must have been behind the murder," she said. "Did your father have any enemies?"

"Rivals from other packs?" she asked.
