The Alpha King by Emily North

A sheltered omega dreamed of the perfect mate.

Elizabeth Cypress has lived her entire life under the shadow of an impossible destiny—she must become the perfect omega.

But she never felt further from that dream than when she learned that the scarred and brutal alpha, Rill, was her fated mate.

High up in the mountains, an alpha king ruled a crumbling kingdom.

As soon as Rill saw Elizabeth, he knew she belonged to him.

But after years of sacrificing his mind, body, and spirit at the altar of survival, does he have what it takes to conquer his soft, sheltered mate?

Can their delicate bond survive the ultimate test?

As threats to tear them apart come to the surface, Elizabeth faces a momentous decision that could change their lives forever as Rill dives into the belly of the beast to save his mate…

Best read after The Golden Alpha, The Alpha King is a soft and steamy omegaverse with a powerful alpha and a perfectly imperfect omega, set in a suspiciously serene dystopia on the verge of unraveling.
