Claimed. A story from the Realm

WARNING:In this story, the bear king is an ancient man from the region of the world that is modeled after Russia. As such, his native language is one not spoken anymore. So, from time to time you will find he skips words such as the or it. This is intentional and not a grammar error.
Stories from the Realm series is a dark fantasy saga.
This series is a work of fiction based on the lives of magical individuals that are in no way human. They are an entirely different species, animals, from another world with their own communities, morals, values, and traditions.If you have any sensitivities about cursing, partner violence, stalking, gender roles, sexual taboos, patriarchal ideals, or any other type of trigger, this story is probably not for you.
But if you can handle all that-enjoy! I’m thrilled you are on this adventure with me.
A warrior princess sent on an impossible mission, the prince who captured her, and the race to save her...
To punish me for being born a woman, my father ordered me and my forces to invade bear country, knowing I would never return. When my entire army is taken by the enchanted forest, Prince Jospeh takes me captive and forces me to live amongst his people to give me a new chance at life.
When the long-gone king returns, Joseph honors him by instituting an ancient rite...the mating chase.
Now a citizen of this backward land, I'm forced to run with the other unattached women. With twenty minutes to get as far away as possible before the men are released, I can taste my freedom just beyond the horizon.
But just as I step foot past the territory border, a force from out of nowhere knocks me to the ground.
Gold eyes, like the sun coming over these mountains, stared down at me, and The Mighty laid his claim.
Claimed is book one of the series The Tales of the Immortals, a collection of dark paranormal romantic fantasy stories.
