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.

Volume 2:

Four years have passed in Vlẽkhut, and war is still raging. The conflict between hybrids and Lycans grows worse, while the battle for the throne turns into a struggle for power as powerful Lycan emerges, fighting for the crown. Amidst the war, Aaliyah, still on the run from Vladimir after her husband's death, rises with power. She is now determined to claim the throne that rightfully belongs to her husband. She will take revenge on all those who destroyed her family and find a way to bring her husband back from the dead.

Claimed by the Lycan King

Vladimir left the Elder's body and returned to his throne to sit down. One of his subjects, a young man, stood up and began to speak.

"Your Grace," he bowed his head. "Most of the packs in the werewolf territory are unwilling to report to the palace and swear an oath to you."

"They refuse to acknowledge you as King, saying Tristan was a better King than you. And unless you step down from the throne, they cannot serve you."

A small smile tugged on my lips as I listened to the guy speak. At least there were some packs that are loyal to Tristan even in his death, and I loved that.

"I didn't expect them to kneel to me quickly," Vladimir said.

"You know how stubborn the Werewolves can be at times," the man said. "Some of them even have witches backing them."

"I am aware of that, and I don't see the Werewolves as a big problem."
