Prince

They call him half-caste, and a mistake. For nineteen years, Kael has been beaten, starved, and forced to clean the twenty-foot stone statue in the royal courtyard; the cursed body of the last Blue Lycan King, murdered twenty years ago with the Magical Alpha Dagger still beating in his stone heart. His crime? His eyes were unusually blue in a kingdom of Black Wolves where pure blood means black eyes, which made him an abomination. What they don't know is that those eyes are royal. Twenty years ago, Alpha Moros Black slaughtered the Blue Lycans; the true rulers blessed by the Moon Goddess, and tried to wipe out their bloodline but he failed. One baby was shielded by his mother and smuggled out by the High Seer, whose family swore an oath to always protect the Blue Lycans. That baby is Kael. The last male Blue Lycan. The only one whose blood can pull the real dagger from his grandfather's stone heart. The Alpha on the throne holds a fake. The only light in his hell is Elara, the present Seer's daughter. Since they were children she has had a crush on him, secretly healing his wounds behind the statue with a forbidden gold touch that burns her every time. But Elara is hiding something too. She is half Seer, half Blue Lycan; the illegitimate bloodline of a Blue Lycan Prince who fell in love with a High Seer. The last female. She doesn't know. When the false Alpha sets a contest as a trap; whoever pulls the dagger from the Stone King will be the next Alpha, every warrior in the kingdom tries and fails while laughing at the half-caste. Until Kael steps up...
