My Adopted Dog is a Lycan King Shifter (and I'm His Rejected Bookish Mate)
(2026)(The ninth book in the Possessive Small Town Alpha Kings series)
A novel by Lira Flux and Zola Lore
I rescued a wounded wolf and saved his life.
Then he shifted into a Lycan King, growled mate.
I’m a shelter volunteer with a romance novel addiction and no frame of reference for naked royalty.
Nothing in the handbook prepared me for a fated bond with a Lycan King who won’t leave my couch.
Slade Holloway. Six-four, gold eyes, scarred from wars I know nothing about. And a fiancée he never told me about.
Alpha. Scarred. And mine before I even knew it.
My skin burns when he’s close. My pulse gives me away.
He finds my romance novels. Reads every one. Memorizes every scene. Then he closes the book. And shows me.
Pins me down until I’m shaking.
When my heat hits, he wrecks me through every wave. Worships me. Ruins me.
I let myself believe him. That was my mistake.
His world will destroy me if he stays. I beg him to stay anyway. He looks me in the eyes and says ‘I reject you, Sabine, as my mate.’I hit the floor when our bond shatters.
I raised his daughter alone. I don’t need a king.
Four years later, the Lycan King walks back into my life. My hands shake.
‘I chose you. I keep choosing you. When are you going to believe me?’
He’ll burn his world down for me. Sink his teeth into me. Crown me.
He can get on his knees. Doesn’t mean I’ll let him back up.
