Bound to the Lycan King
At my look of confusion, Simon and Jonathan explained that the war had been a vampire invasion, and that the other alpha wolves from the United Packs weren’t strong enough to defeat the dangerous force.
Valen, though, had been different. He had a natural mind for combat, and he fought the invaders back within a matter of months.
They survived for less than a week when they murdered his mate, too.
“Here’s a hero, though,” Simon had admitted as I practiced punching. “Even if nobody knows it.”
A hero? That seemed unreal – no one as cruel as Valen could have been a hero. He was selfish and cruel.
The man these betas had known had died with his first mate.
