About this listen

The Kingdom of Askara has been torn apart by conflict for centuries, where humans exist as subservient beings to their werewolf masters. Legend says it will only be able to heal itself when an Alpha King and a pure omega are mated and crowned together, but a pure omega hasn't been born in over a thousand years. Luca is an Alpha-heir eagerly awaiting the choosing ceremony on his 25th birthday and the gifts granted by whichever omega he mates. His small pack is destitute due to the decisions of its ruling council, but being only an Alpha-heir, he has no authority to challenge them. Not until now - this moment he has waited a long time for. Kit grew up as a street-rat, an unlicensed human who would never be more than a slave for whichever master owns him. Then one day he came across a young Alpha-heir, attacked and dying of poison, and found out their fates were suddenly entwined. Luca needs to take over his pack and save his people. He cannot afford to be distracted. But when he meets Kit, he develops abilities indicating he is not just a pack Alpha, but the King his world has needed for a thousand years. Is Kit really the cause of Luca's newfound power, the true mate he needs? How is it possible when the young man isn't even a werewolf, and as merely a human, a mating is not only forbidden, but for Kit, a sentence of death?

My first MPreg story and my first book by Victoria Sue. 
The world building is excellent. In the Kingdom of Askara Werewolf's rule and take humans as servants or slaves beaten and controlled in all aspects of life. Luca is betrayed by his brother and left for dead. He is rescued by Kit, at the detriment to himself. Kit tells him that he will be the Alpha King. Years later they meet again and sparks fly. I've never really been tempted by MPreg stories but I like the way this one is done.

There is so much here, betrayal, politics, espionage, fated mates, jealousy, love, misunderstanding, kindness and passion. An enjoyable shifter fantasy that has a fairy tale qualities. I quite enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the next book.

Joel Leslie the ultimate showman brings all these aspects alive. Listening to him being an elder statesman one minute and a young girl next is magical. Perfect intonation swept me along with the story, many times I had to just stop what I was doing and listen spellbound. Definitely listening to this story again.

I was given a copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest review.

Enjoyable shifter story

The summary of the book itself read like a dream, a combination of all my guilty pleasures. I really wanted to listen but admit I was hesitant to buy as Joel Leslie narrated the story. I'd only heard one of his narrations (Hidden In darkness) and hated it unfortunately, with the main characters sounding so fake and forced, like the main male leads from Everyone Loves Raymond. So I went into his dubious but Joel Leslie is AMAZING here! The main characters have beautiful voices and every single sub character has their own individual accent or tone that helps you identify them, give them their own character. He even differentiates between regions so you instantly know the different dialects and that is such a skilful thing to do. I would even say the way he works this piece is one of the most varied and talented reads I've ever listened to (and I've listen to a lot). Maybe Hidden in Darkness was just a bad day for him or maybe I just didn't gel with it but his read of this story, Alpha King is astounding and so beautiful I cannot fault him. Will definitely try his other reads.
As for the story itself, it was everything I loved in a shifter story. Wolves, mates, omegas, alphas, a strong omega that stands against adversity without being obnoxious or overpowering. Luca and Kit were beautifully real and flawed and sweet and I loved every second of this story. Kudos to the author and to Joel Leslie they made an excellent team and if you like shifter/omega stories you must listen to this.

Much better than expected!

If you could sum up The Alpha King in three words, what would they be?

I really enjoyed listening to this book, Narrared by Joel Leslie( who has such a awesome voice and he really gets the characters voices.
The Alpha King is about Luca and Kit, Kit is a human omega, Luca is the alpha, when they meet up by chance after seven years(of a brief meeting ) they know they are mates, but didn't know that Luca and Kit power together will be so strong.
Luca becomes Alpha King and Kit is a pure omega, their bond is so strong that they can lead humans and wolves to live side by side. I love shifters books. This drew me in so much that I listen with joy. Congratulations Victoria Sue and Joel Leslie for a very enjoyable book

Who was your favorite character and why?

Both Luca and Kit Luca made many foolish mistakes. But they grew together

What about Joel Leslie’s performance did you like?

Joel Lesie, he really gave the book depth, and drew me into the book

An Heir to the kingdom and a kid with a vision. Luca was betrayed by his own blood, but he was destined to great things and was saved by a young kid. When he came into his own, his destiny would have to be fulfilled. His mate is unexpected, different but he would be his strength. I loved this story and Kit, and couldn’t stop listening. I had to know the unraveling and at times wanted to slap Luca silly. The narration did it for me, made me feel all the emotions.

The King and the Pauper 🖤💙

Luca survived his poisoning only because a child distracted his tormentors. When Kit turns up at the choosing ceremony as a slave, Luca sees red and kills the current Alpha who was pretending to be The Alpha King. The Alpha King is a tite long since abused, but can only be held by an Alpha who has a Pure Omega as a mate. That his mate is a human MALE makes no odds to Luca, but he needs to look after the pack, ALL the packs, and having Kit as his mate will be one more difficulty he needs to overcome.
I LOVED this!
Luca knows he will be Alpha of a pack one day, he just has to bide his time. He never expected that Alpha title to come with a King on the end. Kit called him that, all those years ago, but he never thought anything by it. Now that Kit is in his arms, and Luca has inherited the title properly, he also comes into his powers. He didn't know about those. Kit's presence in his life, in his bed has opened a whole can of worms but Luca knows he can shut it.
Kit is an unlicensed human, used to life treating him in the worst way. He knew, he always KNEW that Luca was his mate, that Luca would be the salvation for all humans and the way they were treated, he just didn't expect to actually FEEL for Luca, to fall in love with him.
Both Luca and Kit have a says, in the third person. I wasn't sure Kit would for a time, since it is a way into the book before he gets his voice, so I was mighty pleased about that. It's deeply emotional in places, when Kit tells of his childhood (such as it was) and Luca talks about the future. It's violent in others when Kit is kidnapped and Luca does what he has to do to save Kit, and the consequences of that action.
It is a wonderfully told story!
This world is (currently) a bad place for humans, since the wolves overthrew the humans and enslaved them centuries ago. Once, the humans were the dominant species and much of their history is now lost to the winds of time, but Luca has a very industrious friend who digs up all kinds of long lost information, for both the humans AND for Luca and about the title of Alpha King and the Pure Omega who mates him. Things that are all kinds of spoilers and I'm not saying. But I also have a feeling that much more will be discovered in time that will turn a lot of things on their heads.
There are a couple of characters who I would like to have either heard from here, or would like if they could have their own stories, but I'm not sure that would work, in the grand scheme of things. Sam and Asher especially, but another couple too.
Joel Leslie narrates.
I love Mr Leslie's work, I really do. I could listen to the man read the phone book!
I cannot fault the narration! Everyone's voice fits their descriptions, each voice is clear and easily definable when in multi person conversations.
Leslie's reading voice is deep and even, and I had no problem with keeping up when Leslie gets over the emotions these guys were feeling. Sometimes, I lose that, when a narrator dips their voice when the characters are emotional, but not so Leslie!
I have books 2 and 3 to listen to, just as soon as I find some time. I can't wait!
5 stars for the book
5 stars for the narration too
