Lycan King’s Pregnant Runaway Mate

I was sold to the Lycan King.
He knotted me, got me pregnant, and then he rejected me.

They paraded me in the Luna Bidding War, promised to the highest bidder.
Lycan King Zaden never planned to claim a mate, but when my scent reached him, his wolf snapped.
He bid higher than every rival, dragged me to his chambers, and took me before dawn.

By morning, everything changed.
He called me a spy and exiled me, saying "my wolf may want you, but I never will."
I ran, pregnant and broken, and swore I would never return.

But now my belly swells with his heir.
And when rivals hunt me for the crown they lost, I know I cannot keep my secret forever.

When we meet again, Zaden sees his own eyes in our son.
Now, he swears he will never let his family go.

But can I trust him?
Do I protect my child from the man who ruined me, or surrender to the mate who was always mine?
