About this audiobook
Fate rejected her. The kingdom will regret it.
One masked night changed everything for Lyra Shadowmere.
She never meant to fall into the arms of a stranger at the royal gala. She never meant to crave the man whose touch felt like destiny. And she never imagined that by dawn, the stranger would be revealed as King Kael Nightfang, the Alpha King himself, only to reject her before the entire court and leave her broken, humiliated, and alone.
But Lyra does not leave empty-handed.
She leaves carrying his child.
Two years later, Lyra has built a hidden life out of fear, hunger, and fierce love for the son Kael never knew existed. She wants nothing from the king who destroyed her. Not his mercy. Not his crown. Not his bond. Yet when enemies close in and her son becomes the target of a deadly power struggle, fate drags her back into the heart of the palace she swore never to enter again.
Now Kael must face the truth he can no longer outrun: the woman he cast aside was never weak, never ordinary, and never meant to kneel. Lyra is tied to an ancient shadowed bloodline the monarchy tried to bury, and the son they share may be the key to a throne powerful enough to tear the kingdom apart.
With betrayal in the court, war at the gates, and desire still burning between them, Lyra and Kael must decide whether love can survive what fate, pride, and power have already broken.
The Alpha King and the Shadow is a dark, addictive rejected-mate romance filled with royal intrigue, dangerous secrets, second-chance passion, and a heroine no one can control.
If you crave wounded hearts, fierce chemistry, hidden heirs, and a love story forged in fire, this is the book you need to read tonight.
