Palace Payne

Aria, a lowly Omega, has always known her place in the brutal hierarchy of werewolf society: at the bottom, unseen and unheard. Working as a servant in the royal palace, her only dream is to live a quiet, invisible life far from the power struggles of Alphas and Betas. But everything changes the night of the annual Mating Ball, when a fateful accident thrusts her into the path of Kael, the ruthless and feared Lycan King. Kael has ruled with an iron fist since ascending the throne, determined to crush rebellion and keep order in his kingdom. He has no patience for weakness— even less for the idea of a mate bond. But when Aria stumbles into his path, the bond snaps into place, linking him to the one wolf he despises most: an Omega. Furious at the Moon Goddess’s choice, Kael gives Aria an ultimatum: stay in the palace under his watch or face banishment into the wilds where Omegas don’t survive. Yet, as political intrigue and rebellion stir within his kingdom, Kael finds himself inexplicably drawn to Aria’s quiet strength and courage, even as he fights to resist her. For Aria, navigating the dangerous world of the palace is a battle of its own. Mocked and scorned for daring to exist in the King’s orbit, she must discover the power hidden within herself— not just to survive but to protect the mate bond that could change everything. As Kael and Aria are pulled together by fate and torn apart by pride, they must face a rising threat that could destroy them both. In a world where strength is everything, can an Omega and a King defy the odds—and each other—to find love and save the kingdom? FATED TO THE LYCAN KING is a slow-burn werewolf romance filled with forbidden love, court intrigue, and the electrifying pull of a mate bond that refuses to be denied.
