At war with a common enemy, alliances had to be formed. And so King Dimitrios Xanthe of the Wolfen blood-bonded Princess Ailara Davriel of the Vampyr. Along with it was a promise that when the two come of age, the two kingdoms will become one.
Until something went horribly wrong...
The alliance was broken with the death of several royals. One kingdom was hunted and killed almost to the point of extinction. Ailara vanished without a trace.
Until almost a century later and their paths cross again.
Finally, Dimitri will have his revenge. He'd keep her by his side so he can make her watch as he destroys what's left of her kingdom and then kill her himself. But along the way, he discovers something else... The call of the mate bond is much stronger and she stirs feelings in him that he's never felt before.
Will the two rulers be able to reunite Xathos and vanquish the enemy? Or will they fall prey to chaos and destroy the Golden Dynasty Aiken and Selene worked so hard for?
Only one thing is for sure: The key to saving or destroying Xathos lies within the heart of a king.

I let his fingers slip between my lips and taste myself once again. "This is what you will do with me" he whispered looking at my lips. "You will wrap your lips around it" I followed his instructions and wrapped my lips around his two fingers. I looked at his eyes and I immediately found his gaze which was torn between my lips and eyes. He inhaled again before continuing speaking. "You will slowly lick and suck it" he winked with a grin. "And you will try your best to fully take me in your mouth like this" he said, pushing his fingers even more inside my mouth. He grabbed my chin with his free hand. "Isn't that right, Rea? You will try to take me all?" He slowly asked and I nodded bringing my own fingers to my clit, trying to touch it the same way he did. He looked down to what I was doing and grinned. "Good girl, but I will continue with that" he told me, removing his fingers from my mouth and grabbing my wrist to stop me. *** Finding a wounded man in the middle of the wood was the last thing Rea had imagined to see during her stroll. She had never thought her innocent gesture of rescuing and healing him would have turned her life upside down. He claimed her as his mate. A ruthless predator that enjoyed the kill and shedding blood around for his own purpose. He was part of a species her whole family told her to stay away from. Werewolves. And she discovered soon how she was mated to one of the strongest one. Callendon. Her personal nightmare. MATURE CONTENT - ONLY 18 + FOR MATURE AUDIENCE

Violent delights
"Did he do this to you my queen?" Dark onyx eyes searched her own for an answer. "It does not signify." She said bitterly. "It is none of your concern, my lord. Good night."

"It is taking all the restraint I possess, your grace, to ask this as a man of my station should. Did he do this to you?" His face was hard, and body pulled taut. She could feel rage vibrating off of him. She gulped at his words. "It does not matter what he does to me, he is my husband and your king." She hissed, hoping she could deter his wrath with the threat of death. "It does not matter who he is, I will tear him limb from bloody limb." He clearly did not seem to care. Fuck...

THE BALLAD OF BLOOD AND BETRAYAL
The Ballad of Blood & Betrayal "A love carved from war. A bond forged in ruin. A betrayal written in blood." Nightingale Ambrose was never a princess-only a weapon. Raised in a kingdom where cruelty is survival and love is weakness, she's spent years tearing through enemy lines, leaving nothing but silk ribbons and death in her wake. But when she is ordered to steal the Cangyan Seal Key-the one thing keeping Alessio from obliterating her kingdom-she makes a choice. She lets herself be caught. Zayn Alessio, the ruthless heir to the throne, has spent years chasing a ghost. She's haunted his borders, his nightmares, and his kingdom, slipping through his grasp like a shadow. This time, she's his. And he will ruin her. Break her. Make her beg. But Nightingale didn't come to surrender. She came to destroy. And when he finally lets down his guard-when he falls-she carves her dagger into his back and whispers a goodbye against his lips. Now, Zayn is no longer a prince. He is a man obsessed. With love. With desperation. With the memory of the girl who bled him dry and left him to die. And now-after betrayal, after a kiss that tasted like both damnation and salvation-does Zayn give up? Or does he rise, love-drunk and relentless? Because betrayal doesn't stop princes like him. Not this one. When the dust settles, only one endgame remains: they belong to each other.Complete
