It's been 20 years since the demise of the Kingdom of Aurian, a royal family eradicated... or is there one that may have survived?

Chapter 1 My Name is....

It's late October the crisp wind is seeping through the small gaps on the window, I press my sleeve against the glass pane wiping away a small area of droplets to see what the early morning brings.

It's peaceful here just on the edge of Farimere, it's just one of the three fae kingdoms, the smallest of them which is governed by Lord Emeris I've only met him a handful of times and well let's just say not the most pleasant.

my family are one of the few where our homestead lays just beyond the boundaries where our farm provides food for the small city

, it sits within a valley with some dense shrubbery scattered surrounding the City, it's not really much to admire with dull grey stone walls and ivy clinging to majority of it with parts crumbing from wars that happened years ago, which is still yet to be rebuilt, most of the buildings inside are the same simple yet homely with open fires and herbs usually drying just above the flames that are then placed pretty much everywhere inside. Even though everything looks consistently the same there is one large building directly in the center which houses the main hall it's also where Lord Eremis resides. The building itself is much more well kept where lanterns surround the path ways, rich vibrant flowers, truly a stark difference from the rest of the place.

But the fae are rather simple people, they are born with the magic to be connected to nature. Much like other species within the world their appearance is usually quite telling, with red hair, fair skin and pointed ears which is how you can differentiate between them and witches.

My family are quite obvious fae, my mother with long red curls stopping just at her breast bone and bright emerald eyes, catching many a man's attraction... true beauty amongst the fae.

My father is a broad man who's height is a similar to my mothers about 5'5, they were blessed with two children my older sister and me, my sister is pretty much my mother just younger and slimmer and then there's me.... My parents always told me I was unique or some would state a misfotune to them, I have long white blonde waves flowing down my back reaching just above my bottom, with ice blue eyes, tanned skin and I tower pretty much above everyone a stark difference to my family or any one I've ever seen. My mother says I was a gift from nature and almost 16 years ago to this day she found me unconscious bundled over a log slowly going down the river, I was nearing the brink of death when they found me and healed me, the only thing they knew was my name...

carved into a necklace that clung around my neck,

'Azalea' the only knowlege that I have of a life that I cannot recall before this, but one I have always longed to find out.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
