Introduction

In the modern kingdom of Lycania, where Lycans rule and Werewolves serve, Lady Alina Xalveria stands as the heir to one of the most powerful noble houses. Known for her unmatched skill in battle and the striking white hair of her bloodline, Alina is a force feared and admired. But when her family is betrayed by those they once called allies, and killed, Alina is thrust into a deadly game of survival and vengeance. That is when she meets Valen, a mysterious figure with a hidden past… he is the exiled Lycan Prince of House Rhaelyor. The two of them become unlikely allies and work together to put a stop to those that threatened the balance of Lycania.

With her house on the brink of ruin, she must uncover the truth behind the betrayal and reclaim her family’s honor before their enemies seize the throne…

Chapter 1

What do you get when you mix the modern world with millennia of history, culture, power and… oh...

Werewolves.

Vicious, deadly and primordial, Werewolves.

Four-word answer:

The Kingdom of Lycania.

This is the land from which all Werewolves and... Lycans originate.

But it is not just any kingdom. It is an enigma. A land so powerful that it is now recognised by the Human world. Lycans reign supreme, being a race of pure-blooded Werewolves with undiluted genes, as opposed to regular Werewolves, whose blood has been diluted by Humans over the centuries. As a result, Lycans are seen as nobles and royalty in all Lycania, while Werewolves are of a lower, yet still respectable class. Lycan bloodlines trace back to the earliest ages, their power unmatched by anything this world has ever seen. They are stronger, faster, and more resilient than the Werewolves who share their world. Unlike ordinary Werewolves, Lycans possess unique qualities, extraordinary abilities, and even longer lifespans, going as far as 300 years, whilst Werewolves rarely see beyond 100...

There are six noble families of Lycania. Six kingdoms, once separate, now unified after the brutal Lycan Wars fought hundreds of years ago. These are the Houses: Rhaelyor; which is the ruling house of Lycania, Vorathiel, Morvayne, Avarnys, Draknys, and lastly, Xalveria.

Alina's family...

She is known formally, as the Lady Alina of House Xalveria, daughter of Lord Alinos and Lady Kaela Xalveria. She comes from the original bloodline of Xalverian Wolves, hence the title. And though there are many belonging in her House, 1000s of descendants of the original Xalverian Wolf, her bloodline is the purest.

The Houses were once considered tribes, or even races and nationalities, but after their numbers diminished, those tribes became the noble Houses. To preserve the purity of blood, Lycans were only allowed to marry within their House.

Like the other Houses, House Xalveria is ancient. Powerful. Dangerous...

They are known as the White Wolves, and the rarest of their kind. Born with gifts others would kill to possess. Members of House Xalveria are known for their snow-white and platinum hair, melanated skin ranging from dark to light shades, and eyes of silver, blue, or grey. Their blood runs strong with power... but power, as always, comes with a cost.

The world is dangerous. And it knows they exist.

With Werewolves out in the open, Hunters; Humans who’ve mastered the art of killing their kind, now pose a threat. So do other supernatural factions. Vampires, Witches and ancient enemies waiting in the shadows. Even under the rule of the powerful House Rhaelyor, Lycania remains a powder keg of ambition and bloodlust, and peace is ever a fleeting illusion.

In this world, you either conquer… or you fall.

And Alina Xalveria is born to conquer. The heiress of the Xalverian empire.

That now brings us to the present...

Alina wakes in a panic, her body lurching upright as her lungs gasp for breath. Her hand flies to her chest, fingers spread across her skin as she tries to match her breathing to the violent rhythm of her heart. Her other hand runs instinctively through her long pure white hair, damp with sweat.

Something feels wrong. She knows it.

The night carries an unease, a wrongness that clings to the air and sinks into her bones before her mind can even catch up. She sits motionless in her wide queen-sized bed, eyes sweeping her chambers for any sign of trouble. The only light visible spills from the full moon beyond the tall windows, bathing everything in silver.

And then it hits her, a scent... no, not just one... multiple ones. All of which are unfamiliar to her.

They are faint, but her heightened senses make them easy to pick up. Then, another scent. Smoke... fire...

Then come the screams and commotion, echoing in the air, distant and terrified. The realisation causes adrenaline to pump through her body, and with that, the truth crashes down on her...

Castle Xalveria is under attack.

A knock rattles the door, sharp and urgent, and immediately pulls her fully to her feet. The cold marble floor presses against her soles as she moves, her silver robe swirling behind her. Any ordinary person would be disturbed by the chill. But not Alina. Not any one of the House Xalveria. Not when they are the cold.

Castle Xalveria was located in the province of Cryos, an icy landscape surrounded by harsh frozen terrain. Members of House Xalveria were impervious to the cold, and the average temperature in Cyros was -20°C, cold for even a regular, warm-blooded Werewolf or Lycan... So who in their right mind would come this far to attack them?

Her nightdress clings to her frame as she walks forward, her mind already racing ahead of her body as she focuses on the noise.

“Enter,” she calls, voice loud and powerful. Her voice is sultry, naturally deeper than most women, leaving her more alluring and mysterious. Fists tighten at her sides as she prepares to face whoever is on the other side, but when the chamber doors swing open, it's two guards that step inside, their faces pale, their movements stiff and wary as they move towards her. Once they reach, they bow deeply before her, but their posture betrays the panic they try to conceal.

“My lady,” one begins, his voice low and trembling, “We must escort you to safety, we are under attack...”

She doesn’t blink, she doesn’t flinch. She already knows.

Their words confirm what her instincts have been screaming.

Alina exhales, slow and deeply, and steps closer, eyes narrowing as her mind shifts into control. She cannot afford chaos. Not now.

“By whom?” she asks, her voice calm and cold. Beneath her skin, her wolf stirs, bristling with fury, ready to tear and rip and protect what is hers.

The guards glance at each other uneasily. “We don’t know,” the other one answers. “They wear no colours, no banners. They’ve breached the outer gates and have found their way into the castle. They are killing everyone in sight, and are armed with Rezionite-enforced blades.”

Her jaw tightens. Rezionite. The only element in this world powerful enough to kill even the strongest of Lycans.

No colours... No banners. A clear choice. Fighting with Rezionite. These are not mindless rebels. These are orchestrated assassins, hiding their allegiance and wanting confusion to cloud the battlefield...

She hears a voice in her memory, her mother’s, soft but still stern.

Stay calm, no matter what.

Alina inhales through her nose and steadies herself, her silvery blue eyes sharpening.

She pushes past the guards, stepping into the corridor beyond. “Secure the inner keep,” she orders. “Find my parents. Protect the guests. No one is to be left unguarded.”

The guards hesitate. Their loyalty to her is instinctual and protective, but she doesn’t give them the chance to protest.

“Go,” she commands again, sharper this time.

They bow once more and vanish into the hallway, their footsteps lost amid the rising chaos echoing through the castle walls...

Whoever is doing this, Alina will find them... and they will pay for their treachery.

“I thought we discussed this earlier, Weakness? I warned you. His death is on your hands.”
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”

"Eyes up here," he said.

My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.

I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.

The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.

The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.

I soon found myself lost in his arms.

When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.

The ballroom fell silent.

“You think she needs you,” he says.

“I know she does.”

“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”

“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”

“And if the world burns?”

My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.

“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”

I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.

From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.

Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.

And for a long time, I was just useful.

Until he started watching.

A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.

Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.

This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.

But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret

After college, Lucas pursued me relentlessly.

He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.

He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.

But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.

Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.

Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.

Do you really know your husband?

From that day on, my life filled with shadows.

I suspected my husband of having an affair.

When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.

I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.

My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."

The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"

I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.

But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.

Does Lucas truly love me?

And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
