Her King and Her Mate

Alyssa Reagan has everything a young she-wolf could ask for: a pack that adores her, a big brother who protects her, a best friend who makes her laugh, and a talent for winning the capture-the-flag games around the bonfire. Only one thing is missing. Ever since she was a little girl, she has dreamed of the mate the Goddess chose for her, someone who would love her, choose her, and never let her go.

Then the Prince comes looking.

George Brook, heir to the werewolf throne, arrives with royal guards and a whole kingdom's expectations, searching pack after pack for his destined other half. Instead, by moonlight down by the river, he walks straight into Alyssa. One impossible scent, one spark when their hands touch, and there is no denying it: the ordinary pack girl is the Prince's mate, and the Prince is her king.

But being chosen by the crown is nothing like a fairy tale.

The King takes one look at Alyssa and orders his son to throw her away. Her own father sneers that a common wolf like her could cost George everything he has. Everyone around her has a plan for her life, and no one asks what she wants. George, a ruler used to being obeyed, must learn that trust cannot be commanded, while Alyssa has to decide whether the stubborn, infuriating man she is bonded to is worth fighting a whole kingdom for. A forbidden escape to a cabin in the mountains, a marking under the stars, and a quiet promise of a home of their own tell her the answer.

Then everything shatters.

A phone call in the night takes her parents from her. At their funeral, rogues drag Alyssa into the darkness, and the man behind the abduction carries a secret that rewrites her entire life: the family who raised her stole her as a baby, the brother she loves is not her brother by blood, and her real parents are alive, waiting. Everything she believed about herself is a lie, except for one thing, the mate who tears the country apart to find her.

Alyssa comes home changed. No longer the girl waiting at the edge of someone else's story, she steps into a world of palace intrigue, hostile nobles, and a crown she never asked for, only to discover that George is guarding shadows of his own: a legacy of violence, and a fear that he is becoming the very father he despises. With a new best friend at her side and a found family she never expected, Alyssa starts building a place for herself that no secret and no scandal can take away. Fated mates were supposed to be the easy part. Now they must choose each other on purpose, again and again, over duty, over secrets, over every voice that says a nobody can never stand beside a king.

Warm, dramatic, and full of heart, Her King and Her Mate is the story of a girl who wanted only to be loved, and found a kingdom, a family, and a fight worth winning.
