Defying the Lycan King

ira has spent her entire life believing she is cursed. Born without a wolf, rejected by her own family, and treated as an embarrassment, she never imagined her fate would change overnight. Everything changes when she is forced into a contract marriage with Derek Wolfe—the ruthless Lycan King who wants nothing more than an heir. To Derek, Kira is only a temporary wife. Once she fulfills her duty, she will disappear from his life forever. But when deadly assassination attempts and long-buried secrets reveal that Kira's birth is tied to an ancient prophecy, Derek realizes the quiet, powerless girl he married may be the key to saving—or destroying—the Lycan Kingdom. As enemies close in and forbidden feelings begin to grow, Kira and Derek must decide whether to trust each other before the truth tears their world apart. A slow-burn fantasy romance filled with werewolves, lycans, political intrigue, betrayal, hidden identities, fated mates, and unforgettable love.
