Lorelai is an unwanted princess; a puppet in the hands of the royal family.
Born weak and raised loyal only to her kingdom, she has no real power and is constantly abused by both her stepmother and her son. 

Her value lies in one thing only––marriage. Thus, she is to marry Duke Kalder, an old but powerful and influential man whose previous wives have all gone missing under mysterious circumstances. 

That is until she meets him. 

Tall, dark, strong, mysterious, irresistible, seductive. 
The King of Lycans. The King of Beasts. The Gypsy King. 
One who was once a slave now controls the biggest and strongest, most feared kingdom of the continent. And for some reason, he has his eyes set only on Lorelai.

Important note: this is a historical fantasy novel and in its context, the word "Gypsy" is only used as a name of a nomad tribe and is not used as a slur.

Stolen by the Beastly Lycan King

"Here, drink some wine, Your Highness," Lucia offered the Crown Prince a glass of red wine, her face beaming with warmth as she smiled at him.

Kai, however, could not care less for her subtle ways of expressing affection. Without even looking at her, he accepted the wine and downed it all in one go, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, ignoring his manners.

His attention was focused exclusively on his stepsister and the lycan king, parading around her like a hungry predator salivating at her body and ready to pounce.

Even though Lucia had noticed Kai's uninterested state, she did not want to give up just yet.

"I have noticed that Queen Phaora and her ladies-in-waiting were quite smitten with you earlier when you came to officially greet their delegation. If I can be completely honest with you, I was very jealous of your interactions with them. Your charms can pull in absolutely everyone."

But She Did Not Look Back
