The Lycans' Claim

Niamh was ordinary. Average. She lived a quiet life, staying under the radar in a town where the males ruled and the females were expected to be submissive. Raised to fear their mates, every woman in town learned early on to stay in line and serve their future partners, no questions asked. She was no different-avoiding attention, keeping to herself, and doing what she was told.
But all of that changed the day she met him.
Dominic Hunt was no ordinary man. He was a Lycan. His strength and power surpassed any Alpha she’d ever heard of, and his presence alone could make the bravest shiver in fear. Cruel, possessive, and unyielding, Dominic was a force of nature. And worst of all-he was her mate.
Niamh had heard the stories about Lycans, how they were brutal and merciless, but she never thought she’d encounter one. She was unprepared for the overwhelming pull she felt toward him, or the way her world was about to unravel.
Dominic was everything she feared, yet he was also everything her body and soul craved. His claim over her was undeniable, and with it came a darkness she couldn’t escape. His dominance was suffocating, and every instinct in her told her to fight against him-but could she?
As Niamh is pulled deeper into his world, she must navigate the complexities of being the mate of a Lycan, a creature she’s not sure she can trust or even survive. The line between love and fear blurs, and she’ll have to decide whether to give in to her fate or fight to hold onto her own identity.
But with Dominic’s possessiveness growing stronger by the day, can Niamh ever escape the claim of the Lycan who owns her heart-or will she become the very thing she fears?
