About this book
Summary
He rejected her to save his crown.Now the law demands his blood—or her forgiveness. Bellamy Todd is the Lycan King who chose power over his fated mate, severing their bond in public to secure his rule. Silence became his shield. Control became his throne. And the woman he cast aside vanished—taking with her a secret that would have shattered his kingdom. Years later, ancient Lycan law resurfaces beneath modern San Francisco, and Lucille Hanson is forced back into the world that broke her. The bond they both tried to bury hasn’t healed—it’s poisoned, volatile, and dangerously visible. And when the truth of what Bellamy lost comes to light, the crown he protected becomes the weapon poised at his throat. As enemies close in and the mate bond turns from destiny into indictment, Bellamy must choose between the authority that defines him and the humanity he denied. Loving Lucille again won’t save him. Claiming her could destroy her. And walking away may cost him everything that still matters. This is not a story about fate fulfilled. It’s about fate defied. A Lycan king who learns too late that power without integrity is emptier than exile.A woman who refuses to be claimed by law, blood, or regret.And a love that survives not because it was destined—but because it was chosen. When the crown falls, only one truth remains: The mate he rejected was the only thing that could ever make him whole.Book information
