An enchanted castle full of secrets, a rite of passage she cannot avoid, an arranged marriage she’ll do anything to get out of. Bexley isn’t like ordinary girls. She’d rather be studying animals than flirting with men. It’s too bad her stepfather insists she pay attention to Garth, a meathead who only wants her to make babies and clean his house. On her twenty-first birthday, like all women in her village, she’s ordered to the castle to meet with the Alpha King. For someone who didn’t even know wolf shifters existed, it’s all a shock, especially when she sees the twisted body of King Canaan. Canaan is used to keeping secrets, so it’s not difficult for him to keep them from Bexley—like the fact that she’s his mate, so she can never leave. But the king has enemies. Not only is the witch that cursed him still out there, when Garth shows up leading a band of villagers who want to kill him, he’ll have to fight against his own people. Unless Bexley can find a way to stop them. It might help if she knew the truth about herself. When she discovers her true identity, nothing in the kingdom will ever be the same. If you enjoy fairy tale retelling with a wolf shifter twist, you’ll love this new series by the author of The Alpha King’s Breeder and The Vampire King’s Feeder.

Myths and Magic

*Bexley*A pair of eyes stares at me from between two large trees in the middle of the dense forest behind our house. I stare right back, squinting through my binoculars to try to get a better look. I’ve never seen a female white-tail quite so large. I wish I could get a little closer so I could see her markings more clearly, but she’s hidden well behind the leaves of the trees, and it’s clear she’s spotted me. If I make one wrong move, she’s likely to bolt away, leaving me standing here staring at nothing but dense foliage. Still, I’m not seeing much at this angle, so perhaps I should hazard moving a little nearer.Carefully, I inch forward, doing my best not to make a sound. I avoid the crunchy leaf piles that litter the ground. It’s nearly winter; we should be having our first snow soon. Then, it will be easier to move undetected, but for now, I have to be careful.I slide to my right, leaning up a bit onto my toes, and I can almost see her back clearly when I hear the crackle of a...

It’s a Yes for Me
*Bexley*The last refrains of Happy Birthday hang in the air as I suck in a deep breath and blow out my candles. The small crowd that has gathered in the dining room to celebrate with us claps, and I force a smile to my face.Our housekeeper, Mrs. Jones, takes the cake to cut it into slices while everyone claps. Glancing around at the faces before me, I see only a few genuine smiles. Mrs. Jones is giggling with glee, and I know she truly cares for me. She’s become like a grandmother to me since I came here.Of course, Mother and Fiona are happy, as well as Fiona’s younger sisters Iris and Kate, who came over just for cake. But then I look at Harvey, and he’s glowering. Harvey Moss has a stern face to match his bald head and his disposition, as well as his reputation as a no-nonsense accountant. I wouldn’t cross him. I have no idea what Mother sees in him, but she only has kind things to say about her second husband.And then I glance at Garth and wish I hadn’t.Garth Roberts sits at t

Summoned
*Bexley*The idea that something is important flutters behind my closed eyelids as I lie in my bed, trying to pull my entire brain out of sleep. It’s a losing battle. All I want to do is roll over and fall back into a peaceful slumber.But that nagging feeling that I have something I need to do won’t allow me to, and a few seconds later, I sit up in bed and push my blankets down to my waist.It’s my birthday.Not only that, but it’s my twenty-first birthday.It’s my twenty-first birthday, and I now live in some crazy kingdom where the king sometimes sends out letters to girls on their twenty-first birthday summoning them to the castle so he can… well, no one knows exactly what he does with them, but none of the villagers approve of it or thinks it’s proper.I take a deep breath and swing my feet out of bed. The wooden floor is a bit chilly, but I don’t pause to put on my slippers. Instead, I shuffle into the bathroom, do my business, and throw on a clean dress. I run a brush over my t

Swept Away
*Bexley*At 5:45, I carry my suitcase down the stairs. Mother, Fiona, and Mrs. Jones stand there, tears in their eyes. I feel like a soldier being sent off to war. It’s silly, really. I’ll be fine.I’ll be back tomorrow.I remind my mother of that. “Don’t eat all the stew,” I say with a smile. “I’ll be wanting it for dinner tomorrow night.”She can barely speak as she leans over and kisses my cheek. “I’ll… save some for you. I love you so much.”Now, she’s making me tear up. “I love you, too, Mother.” I kiss her back. “It’ll be fine.”“No one ever stays more than one night,” Fiona reminds us. “Really, it might be kind of nice to get to see the fancy castle. They used to have grand balls there. My grandmother went to one many years ago. You’ll get to see all of that.”She’s trying to be optimistic, and I appreciate it, but I can barely manage a smile.A sharp knock on the door has us all jumping. Mrs. Jones takes a deep breath and opens it to reveal—just Garth.“I heard about the lette

Princess or Prisoner?
*Bexley* “My father died in an accident when I was quite young,” I begin. “Mother says it happened very quickly. He was only twenty-three.”“I’m sorry for your loss. Do you know what happened?”Again, I shake my head. “No. Mother doesn’t like to talk about it. I only know it happened deep in the woods.”“Interesting.” He strokes his chin leaving me to ponder what’s so interesting about that. “We are beginning to climb the hill to the castle now. Would you like for me to open the curtain so you can see the forest?’“Yes! I’d love that.” My enthusiasm would be embarrassing if I didn’t feel so comfortable with him.Ellison laughs and pulls the curtain back on both side of the carriage. I oscillate between each of them, doing my best to peer through the darkness into the trees. The road is narrow enough that tree branches occasionally scrape the top. We roll over some deep ruts that jar me out of my seat, and one of them makes me bump my nose on the window.“Are you all right?” he asks.

She’s the One
*Canaan*The girl stands with her nails embedded into Ellison’s arm so deeply, if he wasn’t wearing a suit jacket, he’d probably be bleeding. Her eyes are wide in horror as she takes me in, and I can’t blame her. Any moment now, she’ll scream and rush from the room.Somehow, she manages to eke out the rest of her statement, “Your Maj—esty,” and keep her feet planted firmly in place. I am impressed. She’s lasted longer in the same room with me than everyone else.But then, I realized there was something different about this girl as soon as I saw her name on my list. I’d gone to see for myself earlier this morning, something I’ve never done before. I’d felt how special she is the moment our eyes locked—not here in my office, but in the woods outside her home.“Bexley,” I growl, the sound of my own voice making my skin crawl. “Pleasure. You may go.”Ellison stands there a moment longer. He’s never had to actually escort a girl from my office before because they have always taken off runn

What Do We Do Now?
*Canaan* I’m sitting in my room, staring at the wall, sipping a glass of wine when the soft knock on my door comes. It’s later than usual. Normally, entertaining these women at the evening meal only takes an hour or so, but tonight, it’s been nearly two hours since Ellison escorted Bexley away from me.I shouldn’t be too surprised. She is interesting and lovely. Who wouldn’t want to speak to her?“Come in.” I take another sip and wait for Ellison, my Beta, to enter the room. He closes the door behind him and slips into the darkness, taking a seat across from me. It takes him a moment to speak. All he asks is, “Well?”Normally, he says something like, “We’ll try again. Another girl from such-and-such is turning twenty-one the day after tomorrow,” but even he knows there’s something different with this one.Of course, that may be due to the fact t

Change of Plans
*Bexley* The soft, warm embrace of a thousand goose feathers wraps around me. I sigh and stretch, not wanting to leave the most comfortable sleep of my life, but when I open my eyes, I see sunlight peeking through the edge of the curtains, and I know it’s time for me to get up.I take in the beautiful bedroom and smooth down the comfortable satin nightgown I’d found in one of the drawers as I make my way to the attached restroom. This one is so much larger and nicer than my bathroom at home. I could spend hours in the huge bathtub. Unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to try it out, and since I’ve obviously slept in, I decide to take a shower instead. As much as I am enjoying my time here, I need to get home to Mother. Despite my best efforts to hurry, I take a long shower using all of the amazing products I find on a shelf within the massive stall. When I’m afraid I’m about to drain the hot water out of t

Audience with the King
*Bexley* I follow Ellison down the corridor toward the dark part of the castle. He’s not holding my arm like he was the night before, and he’s walking so fast, I can barely keep up. About half an hour after I made my demands, he left the room and then came back to tell me that King Canaan was willing to meet with me. Barely breathing, I do my best to tamper down my nerves. My lack of oxygen has little to do with how fast I’m walking and everything to do with seeing the king again. A thrumming in my heart has me undulating between rushing to keep up and slowing down and fading into the walls. Would it be possible for me to ditch Ellison and find the nearest exit? Could I run all the way back home from here? I doubt it, but if the king is as scary today as he was last night, I might not be able to control myself.We reach the office door, but Ellison doesn’t knock on it right away. Instead, he waits for me to reach him a

Shedding the Light
*Canaan* I trace Bexley’s movement to the door and see what she’s about to do. Cursing under my breath, I take preventative measures and scramble through the door behind my desk that leads to another office just as the room is bathed in bright light. Moving quickly is difficult when I’ve been sitting for so long, but necessity increased my speed, and I just manage to get my tale through the door when she flips the light switch.Had I underestimated her at all, I’d still be sitting at that desk, and she’d be running from the castle in horror. Thankfully, I’ve figured out who Bexley is already, and I know never to trust her.“Where did he go?” I hear her whisper as she takes a few more steps around the office. I silently slip the lock into place and hope she doesn’t have some other means of forcing her way into the room.She doesn’t even approach my desk again. I hear her over by the
