Life’s Spiced Up with Some Werewolf Reads
Kira has spent her life branded a cursed, wolfless disappointment—until a contract marriage binds her to Derek Wolfe, the ruthless Lycan King who wants only an heir. He plans to use her and send her away, but an assassination attempt exposes shocking secrets about Kira’s birth. She isn’t powerless at all. She may be the most dangerous secret the kingdom has ever known.
“Too bad. I have a lot to say,” he replied. “In my bedroom.” “I’m not moving in with you.” “Yes, you are. You’re my wife.” “On paper!” she shot back. “Whatever happened to separate lives when we’re alone? How does that work if we share a room?” “Nana is coming here,” he said flatly. “We…
“If we’re acting like a real couple, we should use each other’s first names,” he said, eyes still on the paper. She nodded. “I’ll remember that, Derek.” Without another word, she walked out of the room and headed towards the stairs. Derek raised his head and stared at the closed door longer than he meant…
Kira’s coffee went down the wrong way, and she coughed violently, spluttering as Nana rushed to hand her a napkin. “Are you okay, dear?” Nana asked. Kira nodded, wiping her mouth, mortified.

The older man took a measured step closer. “Is this about the werewolf girl?” Derek returned his attention to the tablet on his desk, scrolling without really seeing the numbers. “I fail to see how a session in the training yard has anything to do with my marriage.” “Come on, Derek. Don’t play the fool…
She flipped it open to the page headed in her neat handwriting: KNOWING ABOUT MY MOTHER Below the scattered details she had collected over time about the woman she had never known, she added the new entry: Mother might have cheated on Father and the entire pack knew about it. Alpha Rolf scrubbed the records…
Kira blinked, throat working on a hard swallow. She had never had sex before, but she wasn’t ignorant. She knew arousal was necessary to make it pleasurable instead of painful. At least he was thoughtful enough to consider that. She tore her gaze from his and stared at the steam drifting from the open bathroom…
“Don’t!” The growl vibrated right through the mattress and made her fingers lock up. He took a step toward the bed, and her eye, completely betraying her, landed right on the front of his towel. There was a very large, very obvious problem developing down there. Her mouth went dry instantly, and she had to…
He studied her for a long second, his expression as unreadable as ever. “You seem to keep forgetting we’re supposed to be playing a convincing couple in front of the entire pack.” ‘And you seem to have forgotten that you were practically cuddling with your mistress in the kitchen last night.
