The Lycan King’s Affection

"His lips moved down to my collarbone, and I felt a stab of pain, albeit dull, rush through my senses from his teeth. "You're mine," he growled. A moan escaped my mouth. "Yes... Yours... I'm yours." It was as if he took that as permission. His teeth dug into flesh, and that dull pain cranked up. It didn't hurt. Not in a bad way. But it did bring tears to my eyes, followed by a euphoria unlike any other. "Oh, Dimitri. Please," I moaned. He had marked me. It was only customary that I did the same. My mouth found its way to the nape of his throat and tasted. Sweat, musk, and masculinity. It was maddening." *** Camille has spent her life trying to stay invisible in a world ruled by power, bloodlines, and dominance. But invisibility is a luxury she’s never truly been allowed. From the moment she is pulled into the brutal hierarchy of the werewolf packs, she becomes a target—judged, discarded, and bound to expectations she never chose. Love, when it comes, is neither gentle nor safe. It is tangled in resentment, control, and betrayal, leaving Camille broken and questioning her own worth. Just as she reaches the edge of surrender, a single connection changes everything—awakening forces far greater than pack politics or cruel traditions. Drawn into the orbit of a ruler feared by all and understood by none, Camille discovers that affection can be as dangerous as hatred, and protection often comes at a price.
