mated to secret lycan prince

Hazel never asked for a throne.She only ever asked for a choice.Years ago, Lucien Vale—the heir to the most powerful Lycan dynasty in existence—rejected her without explanation and disappeared back into a world of blood-bound law and ancient dominance. Hazel survived the humiliation. She survived the heartbreak. What she didn’t expect… was the child he left behind.A son born under a forbidden moon.A child never meant to exist.Hidden from the Dominion and raised in secrecy, Hazel protects her boy from a society that would either weaponize him or execute him. Because her son is not simply Lycan royalty—he is something unprecedented. He can break mate bonds. He can calm wolves mid-rage. He can dismantle hierarchies that have ruled for centuries.And when Lucien finally discovers the truth, his carefully controlled world fractures.The reunion is explosive—fueled by resentment, desire, and a bond that refuses to die. But before they can untangle their past, assassination attempts force them into close proximity. Forced under Lucien’s protection, Hazel witnesses the brutal reality of Lycan power: wealth built on strategy, dominance enforced through fear, and a ruling council determined to preserve fate at any cost.Because if the heir’s ability spreads, the entire foundation of their world collapses.As rival packs circle and the council issues a summons, Hazel is dragged into a political war she never chose. She is publicly named The Mother of the Heir—a title meant to confine her. Instead, she becomes something far more dangerous.The child awakens fully.The throne responds.And the old order begins to crack.When Hazel is targeted as a threat and nearly used as leverage to control her son, Lucien unleashes the monster he has kept chained for centuries. Blood is spilled. Alliances shatter. And in the aftermath, Hazel demands the one thing no one in Lycan history has ever required from a mate bond: consent.Lucien offers to sever it.Their son does it instead.The revelation sends shockwaves through the Dominion. Mate bonds—once sacred, irreversible, and binding—are no longer absolute. Panic erupts. An execution vote is called. Hazel is ordered to kneel.She refuses.In front of the entire council, Lucien makes an impossible choice—he rejects the throne rather than sacrifice her. But ancient magic does not accept refusal. The crown binds him anyway, igniting a civil war under glass and moonlight. Rival packs attack the city in open warfare. The Dominion burns.And Hazel steps into the fire.Not as a mate.Not as a queen.But as a mother.With her son’s unprecedented power turning the tide, the council falls. The throne trembles. And for the first time in Lycan history, destiny is challenged by something stronger: choice.In the aftermath of war, Lucien does the unthinkable—he offers Hazel freedom instead of a crown. No ownership. No fate. No obligation. Just love.And Hazel chooses him.Together, they rebuild a shattered Dominion into something radical: a world where mate bonds require consent, where hierarchy bends to will, and where power answers to partnership rather than prophecy. The bond between them settles—not as a chain, but as a promise.But revolutions leave survivors.From the shadows, a remnant of the old council watches. Waiting.Because when fate is broken, it does not disappear quietly.It hunts.
