The Kings Captive

I can turn into a housecat.It's a fun magic, except in a world filled with vampires and werewolves, it doesn't exactly make me a powerhouse.

And then my life gets even more terrifying when Noctus decides to take me with him. As a pet.Why did he pick today to "adopt don't shop" a cat?It gets worse when I realize he's an elf, a ruling race of supernaturals that was supposedly killed off centuries ago.But he's not just any elf, no. He's an elven king, with heaps of secrets to protect. Secrets that I am quickly learning since he includes his new pet in everything from breaking into buildings to inspect classified paperwork to tracking down sketchy supernaturals.All this means if he gets even a hint that I'm not a real cat, I'm going to find out firsthand how elves treat their prisoners.So, escaping Noctus is priority #1. How hard can it be? (Answer: very.)

An omega elven king finds his alpha. Unfortunately, he's human. Casersis Ardal, the former Sun King, is a First Generation elf of over three million years. He meets his match in Dustin Juniper, a twenty-year-old human construction worker. Dustin accidentally runs into Casersis and comes into contact with a magical amulet. He can't stop the transformation that ravages him, slowly turning him into an elf. He has been on his own and completely independent since his emancipation at sixteen. Losing control over his life and circumstances is something he avoids at all cost. But falling in love with an ageless elf makes all control go out the window. Especially when his body keeps doing strange things like changing eye color and growing pointed ears. Casersis has been alone on earth for millennia. Having a burgeoning elf around brings feelings he isn't comfortable with. But he can't let Dustin go. If the humans find out Dustin is an elf, Dustin would become a science experiment. The only option Casersis has is to keep Dustin captive. But keeping Dustin cooped up may backfire if Dustin keeps rebelling. If they want to be together, Casersis and Dustin must find a way to compromise. Love like theirs is once in a lifetime.
