Lycan Warrior

By Anastasia Maltezos

Malek is the brave, heroic Lycan warrior who has served as the king’s chief guard for two hundred years. His prime directive is to protect the royal kingdom. He sets off on a mission from the king that will take him on a journey away from the castle. His mission is not a dangerous one, but there is danger all around him in the form of one beauty, the She-Wolf, Katya, who the king has asked to accompany Malek and his band of guards. Even though she is the key to the success of the mission, Malek has reasons not to trust her. As his attraction mounts for the beauty, so does his frustration. How can he surrender to his wolf’s almost violent need to claim her when he believes she is a threat to the castle?

When she overhears Malek insinuate to the king that she may be a spy sent by Balkathan to infiltrate the castle, Katya is extremely insulted. The fierce looking Lycan warrior doesn’t trust her and she tries very hard to make peace between them. Her anger turns to passionate heat for the Lycan warrior when his touch awakens her inner wolf for the first time in her life.

Will Malek and Katya conquer their inner demons and realise they are meant to be?

Chapter One

I won’t sleep with him!

"Katya, you won’t be sleeping with him, you’ll be sharing a tent. Besides, the only reason I agreed to this assignment is that Malek will be your personal guard. Drago assured me Malek is his best warrior and he will protect you with his life."

Katya scowled at her reflection in the mirror. I heard him tell the king last week he thinks I’m a spy.

Eve sighed. Drago told me there is a reasonable explanation for Malek’s suspicion, something about his brother.

Her mother fell silent and Katya frowned, waiting for her to say more. What was the explanation?

Her mother’s gaze wavered. We were in the middle of something and didn’t quite finish our conversation.

Katya’s anger immediately dimmed as she watched her mother’s face flush with embarrassment. She momentarily forgot the fierce looking Lycan warrior once she realised what her mother’s middle of something was. She hid a smile. Since her mother had wed King Drago last week, she never looked happier.

Eve cleared her throat and stepped away from the mirror. There. You’re perfect. The trousers are more convenient than wearing those dresses with all those annoying layers.

Katya stared at their reflections in the mirror. They were both dressed in almost identical outfits—leather trousers and vests, with weapons strapped to their legs and waist. They looked more like sisters than mother and daughter, with their slim bodies, long dark hair, and dark eyes.

Mama, as the new queen, don’t you think a dress would be in order from time to time, or a crown?

Eve shot her a dark look. Don’t be silly. If the castle is attacked by Balkathan’s army, how can I fight in ten pounds of material?

I feel naked. You can see every curve of my body.

A sight I’m sure Malek will appreciate, her mother murmured innocently.

You haven’t been listening to me. He thinks I’m a spy.

He doesn’t think you’re a spy. Eve expelled a heavy sigh. I’m certain, on this assignment, he’ll get to know you and see what a remarkable woman you are. I’m sure you know half the guards are already a little in love with you.

Stop it, Mama. Katya knew where this was leading and she wasn’t in the mood for it.

Honey, I just want you to be happy. At least consider the possibility one of the guards could be your mate.

I can’t believe my mother, the all-powerful, four hundred year old vampire, is a romantic.

"That’s Drago’s fault. Love changes people. Besides, I’m not a vampire anymore. I’m a hybrid now, with Lycan blood in
