BLURB 

To everyone else, Lucas is untouchable, cursed to live without a mate or family. But then he finds Elara—a girl who’s seen hell and survived it. Betrayed by the Alpha who was supposed to be her mate, Elara’s done with promises and done with packs. But Lucas isn’t about to let her slip away. He’ll protect her, fight for her, and push anyone out of his way to keep her safe.

But in a world where love meets supernatural obsession, is there really such thing as free will?

A darkly romantic tale of possession, protection, and the thin line between the two.

Please Don't Hurt Me, Lycan King Lucas

I've never been one to watch someone sleep. In fact, I haven't had any peaceful sleep since my first shift. Each time I close my eyes, I see Emma. I hear my father's words, the lessons he hammered into me for years: *Strength is survival. Emotions are weak. Weakness gets you killed.* Tonight was no different. Sleep wasn't an option, but for the first time in a long while, I felt... still. 


I sat on the sofa in my bedroom, watching my mate, Elara, sleep until the first light of dawn crept through the curtains. The steady rise and fall of her chest, the soft murmur of her breath-it all seemed so foreign to me. Her face was peaceful, completely at ease. It was a kind of peace I'd never known. 


But I wasn't built for peace. My world was chaos, constantly shifting, and no matter how calm the moment seemed, I always expected the worst. That's how I survived.
