Mated to the Alpha King (A Royal’s Tale Book 1)

Dear Reader,

It is with great pleasure that I present to you a brief introduction of the new world you have decided to enter, a new life you have decided to live. Let it be known that it will only last for a number of chapters, but I hope you enjoy it while it lasts.

Let me, firstly, introduce myself.

Hi, I am Theia Anderson. I am just like any one of you—human, alive, and breathing—unless you are a zombie, in which case I am not alive or breathing, and I especially do not have brains!

Just putting it out there!

I am eighteen and currently a senior in Rosenberg High. I’m what they call a nerd, but let’s face it, nerds nowadays are hot!

I have also only recently moved from the sunny state of California to a place called Piedmont, which is located just beside Seattle. Needless to say it rains here—a lot. When I moved here, I imagined finally living in a cold state and thought that it would be an amazing experience, although the fact that it was in the middle of the year and I would have to settle in as the “new girl” was very well placed in my mind. New friends, new teachers, a new environment—everything was new.

That all was well-known and understood. I had expected it. However, what I certainly didn’t expect was to meet the man who owns the castle I gazed upon from my window every morning and night. Yes, a castle—a castle I am now living in.

This is my story—a story I am now willing to share, but only if you can keep a secret.

Do you remember the stories your grandma used to tell you every night about cursed beasts, village beauties, girls in red capes, and wolves in disguises? Well, maybe, just maybe . . . they actually did happen. Maybe beasts do exist.

They do.

I would know; I am bound to one.

“Who?” you may ask.

Well, I am mated to the alpha king.

How?

You will see.

You will live through it, with me.

I hope you enjoy the ride.

Best wishes,

Theia
