Revenge

Born the cherished daughter of a duke, she embodied grace and devotion as the wife of a celebrated general, standing by his side as he climbed to prominence. But his gratitude soured into treachery—framed, discarded, and condemned to death, she faced her demise with a vow etched in fire: she would rise again. By the mercy of fate, she awakens in the past—sharper, colder, and unrelenting. A conniving stepmother, scheming sisters, and a stolen birthright await her vengeance, and this time, she plays by her own rules. Love? She swears never again to fall prey to its lies. Yet destiny is not so easily defied. The Empire's ruthless Marshal storms into her life, and bent on claiming her as his own. His relentless pursuit tests the walls around her heart, stirring embers of a passion she vowed to extinguish. Will she remain unbroken, or will the fire he kindles consume her anew?

For three years, I waited to become the perfect Luna for my pack and give the Alpha an heir. Three years of lies, being the intruder in someone else's love. Three years to suffer the death of my baby and seek revenge against the man who disfigured my face and destroyed my womb. Dying captured by my own pack or escaping and surviving—those were my only two paths. I chose to hide and live. The Lycan King, Aldric Thorne, the most bloodthirsty and ruthless ruler who led the werewolves with an iron fist—I became his personal maid, the most dangerous position, where I could lose my head at any moment for the slightest mistake. But no one from my past would ever look for me here. "Always submissive. Don't speak, don't listen, don't see anything, don't bother the Lycan, or you'll die." Simple rules to follow. I thought I was doing well until the day the King made me an offer I couldn't refuse. "You want me to save those people? Then surrender to me tonight. Be mine. I desire you, and I know you feel the same. Just once, Valeria... only once." But it wasn't just once. And passion turned into love. That cold, untamable man conquered my heart as well. However, when the past comes back to haunt me and the truth of my birth is revealed, I must make a choice once again—flee from the Lycan King or wait for his mercy. "I'm sorry, but this time, I won't lose my pups again. Not even for you, Aldric." My name is Valeria Von Carstein, and this is my complicated love story with the Lycan King.
