[COMPLETED]

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

Lorelai heard a strange commotion near the servants' quarters and slipped out of the palace to investigate.

Thanks to Frederick, the son of Marquess Galeran, she had learned that tonight was the night one of the slaves would be brought out from the pit. Since it was part of her plan to draft a slave prohibition bill in the future, the princess felt compelled to understand exactly how the rogue beast slaves were being treated.

How shocked she was when she didn't even have to reach the slaves' quarters to realize what was happening.

She squinted her large green eyes, spotting a frail figure darting toward the flower bushes in her garden. It only took her a moment to piece it together—he had escaped the slavers and was now trying to find freedom.

You won't find freedom there, you silly boy, she thought, recalling the positioning of the knights stationed around the palace grounds.
