Claimed And Sold At The Lycan King's Ball

“"I won't be yours," I whispered, heart pounding as the Lycan King's massive frame caged me against the stone pillar. His golden eyes burned with centuries of hunger. "You already are." •••••• Ava Moonveil never wanted to attend the Lycan King's infamous Mating Ball. Fresh from a devastating breakup and done with love, she is dragged there by her stepmother, who sees her as a ticket to overnight riches. But when the King's eyes lock on her across the crowded ballroom, his wolf roars to claim her as his fated mate. Before she can run, she is publicly claimed... and then coldly sold by her own stepmother in a contract signed for wealth and power. Now trapped in the King's possessive world, Ava battles the magnetic pull of the bond while his ruthless brother offers her a way out, an escape that hides deadly ambition. As enemies close in and the King nearly dies protecting her, Ava faces the ultimate choice: stay and become Queen, or run with the man who promises freedom but plans her mate's downfall.”
