Life’s Spiced Up with Some Werewolf Reads
Sold by her father and betrayed by her boyfriend, Lillian becomes a surrogate candidate for the comatose Alpha Prince Grayson. When his deadly inner wolf rejects every girl but her, she is suddenly crowned Luna Princess. But her ex wants to steal the throne, and enemies lurk behind palace walls. As Lillian fights to survive, she discovers the sleeping prince may be far more dangerous—and far more awake—than anyone realizes.
“What did he say to you?” Grayson said. “Who?” “Calvin.” He opened one eye. Cold. “You’ve been walking into furniture since his visit. Dropped the curtain rod yesterday. Nearly knocked over the monitor this morning.” The eye stayed on me. “If he told you something that affects my operation, I need to hear it.” “He…
“You want to talk about plans.” My fingers found the knife handle. I pulled the blade free and aimed the point at his chest. “Here’s mine. Take me to my brother. Right now.” Calvin’s jaw locked. His eyes dropped to the blade. “Lillian -“ “Take me to Ronan, or I drive this through your neck…

Even the way…
Lilian’s POV Before I could even attempt to defend myself, Piers pointed an accusatory finger at me and declared, “This harlot attempted to seduce me.” “I did not,” I snapped. “I was simply heading toward the bathroom. You saw it, Josie. You saw how she came onto me, didn’t you? Look at her dress! She…
“Piers attacked the Luna Princess,” Grayson said. His voice was more measured now, lacking every emotion except coldness. “Handle it. He needs to learn to stay loyal to Josie. He also needs a lesson about not touching things that don’t belong to him.” Lilian’s POV Early the next morning, as I tried to sneak down…
“What’s that?” I asked. “An event just for noblewomen,” Grayson said, pensive. The Prime Beta picked up where Grayson left off. “This is an animal hunt for women only, of the Queen’s choosing. This is a pre-autumn ritual to honor the Moon Goddess and the many gifts she bestows upon us. It is an honor…
She could have been saying something just to trip me up, to cause me to make needless mistakes during the hunt, but I wasn’t so sure. Clara might have hung out with Ophelia, but she had never actively participated in the worst of the bullying. Unless this was some new mind game, I didn’t think…
