bride of vengeance
Valeria Ravenwood has spent years preparing for one thing: killing the Lycan King, Alejandro.
Haunted by the brutal murder of her parents, Valeria grows up believing the feared king was responsible for destroying her family. Driven by revenge, she infiltrates the Lycan Palace under a false identity, determined to get close enough to strike.
But the closer she gets to King Alejandro, the more the ruthless monster of her nightmares begins to look like something else entirely—a king burdened by duty, secrets, and enemies hiding within his own court.
When mysterious attacks shake the kingdom and long-buried truths begin to surface, Valeria discovers that the man she came to kill may be innocent. The real enemy has been hiding in the shadows all along, manipulating kingdoms and lives for years.
Now, Valeria must choose between the revenge that has defined her life and the truth that could change everything.
In a world of betrayal, hidden identities, and dangerous secrets, can love survive where vengeance was meant to reign?

Chapter: chapter 18: the midnight attackI lay in bed for a long time after I left the library, staring up at the ceiling, unable to make my mind settle.Too many questions. Too many half-truths I'd told to protect myself, piling up faster than I could keep track of them anymore.was it The heir.or the The torn scroll.or even the shadow in the library that had vanished the second the guards came running. And now Alejandro looking at me like he already suspected I was lying, even if he hadn't said it out loud.I told myself I'd sleep eventually.but I didn't.Near midnight,i started hearing a sound, it was as if someone was scratching, faint at first, it was coming from somewhere near my window.I sat up slowly, and tried listening.There it was again. Scratch it stopped at first. and then it started again. My hand went to the edge of the blanket, ready to move, every instinct from twelve years of training snapping awake at once. I slid out of bed without a sound and tiptoed toward the window, my bare feet silent against the

Chapter: chapter 17: someone in the darkMy eyes changed colour to gold before I even understood why. my vision, sharp and sudden, the way it only happens when my wolf senses real danger.Two people are in this room One was Valeria's, steady beside me even though her breathing had gone tight. The other wasn't her. It came from somewhere deeper in the library, somewhere in the dark where no one should have been standing at this hour.I turned my head slowly, scanning everything between the bookcases. For a moment, I saw it. A shape. Tall, still, watching us from a gap between two shelves.Then it was gone.Not walked away. it had not left through the door . Just gone, the way spirit vanishes for a moment i was shocked what was that "Guards," I called out, my voice sharper than I meant it to be.They came running within seconds, torches raised, their sword already drawn. I sent them through every row of the archive, every possible hiding place a person could squeeze into. They searched for nearly twenty minutes.They found

Chapter: chapter 16: the heir*Valeria's POV*I couldn't stop thinking about the message.*The heir lives.*The words wouldn't leave my mind, and no amount of turning them over loosened their grip. Whose heir? My father's bloodline, hidden somewhere I'd never thought to look? My mother's? Or some third thread in this conspiracy I hadn't even begun to untangle?Every answer only unraveled into more questions. Catalina's warning. The symbol carved into the dead servant's chest. Esteban's knowing smile as he slid that wanted poster across the table, watching me like a man cataloguing evidence. Somehow all of it connected the heir, the hybrid bloodline, the twenty-year-old lie that had sent me chasing the wrong monster for most of my life.*If I want answers, I'll have to find them myself. No one here seems willing to hand me the truth.*Night fell slower than I wanted, the hours between dinner and darkness stretching thin while I paced my room, running through everything I knew, searching for a thread that led somew

Chapter: chapter 15: the lie**Valeria's POV**My heart pounded so violently against my ribs I feared Esteban could hear it from across the table. One wrong answer, one flicker of hesitation, and everything I'd built since arriving at this palace would collapse in an instant the mate bond, the fragile trust growing between Alejandro and me, whatever chance I still had at learning the full truth about my parents."No," I said again, more firmly this time, meeting his eyes directly rather than looking away. Looking away would read as guilt. I'd learned that lesson years ago, the hard way, during my very first mission when a moment of averted eyes had nearly gotten me caught.Esteban studied me carefully. Too carefully, his gaze lingering on details most people wouldn't think to examine the set of my jaw, the stillness of my hands, the exact rhythm of my breathing. This was a man who had spent years learning to read lies the way I'd spent years learning to tell them convincingly. I wondered, distantly, how many pe
