Every year, unmated women are brought to the Lycan King’s palace for the Moon Goddess’s selection, but the King himself never attends—until now. When a wolfless human sneaks into the palace to rescue her sister, she accidentally crosses paths with the most dangerous ruler alive and unknowingly triggers a mate bond she cannot feel. As the King breaks centuries of tradition to claim what is his, the palace becomes a hunt—and she has no idea she is the prey he has finally found.
