They Begged. I Stayed in His Bed

After years of being framed by her half-sister Vivienne, Lyra’s three brothers destroy her—her face, her hands, and her honor—to make Vivienne the next Luna. Forced to sign a Blood Renunciation, Lyra leaves and marries Adrian, the crippled King’s Hand, who is the boy she once saved as a child. The Lycan Prince exposes Vivienne’s lies, and the brothers realize their grave mistake. They beg Lyra to return, but she refuses. Choosing to stay with Adrian—the only one who ever believed her—Lyra finally finds peace and safety.
