Claimed by the Lion: His Deceptive Queen
Alice, Aurora's twin, kills Sius's sacred serpent and flees, forcing Aurora to take her place as the Beast King's bride. Aurora defends Sius from humiliation, stirring his cold heart. Set drugs her, but Sius rescues her. When Set exposes the swap, Sius draws his sword—then sees the scar on his chest, the one Aurora healed on the battlefield ten years ago. He was the boy she saved. He searched a decade. The lie ends; love begins.
