Shadowed Match

"I am the Lycan King's only daughter and the rightful heir to the werewolf crown.When I was seven, my father chose four of the strongest and most striking alpha heirs from the four great packs to be my potential mates. He poured endless resources into raising them, grooming them to one day help me manage the council.It was not long before they became the center of attention of the entire kingdom. Everyone called them ‘The Apex Four’.However, I always knew they were not really interested in me, but in what they could gain from me. Even the one I secretly loved, Thorne, started to drift away from me when he became interested in another woman. After my father was gravely injured, he asked me which of the four I wanted to mate with. I could only give him a bitter smile. Rather than choose, I opted to draw lots and let the Moon Goddess decide my fate. Fate chose the most infamous of them all: Lucian.On the day I announced my mate, the last thing I expected was Thorne to break down and beg me not to leave."
