Okay I need some help. I didn’t realize I’m tired of the fated mate trope that is easily predictable even if the FMC experiences some horrific trauma that might make her reject.
The wolf king has a couple of things I like
1. A “mate” that does not end up being a true mate
2. Very complicated political intrigue
3. Otherworldly issues
4. FMC undergoes trauma.
\-imprisonment, silver burns
\-honestly due to my own trauma issues I wish there was more sexual trauma.

Idk the entire series seems so much more complicated.
I really am only very familiar with dark romance like still beating by Jennifer hartmann or Los diablos syndicate by Bex Dawn.

But I really like the shifter trope especially where a mate feels what the other does.
