Stefania: The Bride Wore Blood

favourakpofure Paranormal

Book two of The Stefania series
She is not his queen. Not yet.
She never wanted a mate. Especially not him.
But fate has a cruel sense of humour—it bound her to the one creature she runs from: the Lycan king. Savage and merciless, he is everything she wants to avoid.
The bond should never have been possible. But fate doesn’t care for laws written in blood.
She sees opportunity where others would see doom. Love? A lie. Trust? A weapon. She’ll make him believe she’s his perfect match, his destined queen—just long enough to take what she truly desires.
But the Lycan king is no fool. He’s a villain in his own right, forged by blood and betrayal. He knows Manya is dangerous, but her fire tempts him, her lies amuse him, and her darkness mirrors his own.
The pull between them is intoxicating. Deadly. Inevitable.
Yet war looms, and a kingdom cannot be ruled by divided hearts. To embrace the bond is to risk losing herself—to reject it may doom them all.
Love was never part of the equation. But neither was betrayal. Surrendering to fate was never in Stefania’s nature.
Playing the fool is dangerous. Their bond drags her closer, their war of wills burns hotter, and the deeper she sinks into the game, the more she risks becoming the very thing she swore she’d never be.
His.
The Lycan king is not a man to be tamed, and neither is she.
But in a world where hearts are just another battlefield, fangs clash with claws and fate is the cruellest master of all…
She will break him. And if he thinks she’ll bow, he’s about to learn—this queen doesn’t kneel. She conquers.
Either fate will shatter… or she will.
