Description
One day one of the twins born between the werewolf mother Hayato and the human father Gamon, Takahito was suddenly abducted by the Gosford family of werewolves from England. The present head of the family, the pack Alpha Arthur was a muscular, ruthless man. His amber eyes gave off a strong radiance like that of a predator hunting for his prey. Arthur informed Takahito that though he was a man his body was capable of conception.

My Thoughts on Affection: Call of the King
"Affection: Call of the King" is definitely a novel that sparks strong reactions, and having read it, I can see why. It's a story that doesn't shy away from controversial themes, and while it has its merits, it's certainly not for everyone.
First Impressions
Going in, I knew this was a mature-themed story with heavy content, including kidnapping and r*pe. The initial chapters definitely set the stage for a dark and potentially disturbing narrative. Some readers have expressed immediate appreciation for the translator's work, finding the story engaging right from the prologue. Others, like myself, were initially hesitant but intrigued.
What Works Well
Despite the difficult subject matter, I found the story to be surprisingly well-plotted. Several readers pointed out that the author provides a clear reason for the events that unfold, even if those events are morally questionable. The concept of "bondmates" offers a possible explanation for the complex relationship between the main characters, even if it doesn't excuse the initial trauma. I also appreciated that the author doesn't romanticize the r*pe, instead portraying it as unsettling and dreadful, which I believe is important when tackling such sensitive topics. The character development, particularly the MC's growth and introspection, was another highlight for me. It's also worth noting that the translation is generally well-received, allowing for deep immersion into the story.
Areas of Concern
The most significant concern, understandably, revolves around the r*pe and the potential for Stockholm Syndrome. Some readers felt the transition from hate to attraction was rushed and poorly explained, leading to a sense of unease and disbelief. I can understand this criticism. While the "bondmate" concept attempts to justify the evolving relationship, it might not be enough to satisfy readers who prefer a more gradual and nuanced development. The age gap between the characters (a minor and a much older man) also adds to the discomfort for some. Others have pointed out that the descriptions can be a little boring and unnecessary at times, but the scenes with intimate moments make up for it.

Final Verdict
"Affection: Call of the King" is a complex and controversial novel. If you're willing to delve into a dark and potentially triggering story with a focus on character development and a unique (though ethically questionable) premise, it might be worth a read. However, if you're sensitive to themes of r*pe, kidnapping, and Stockholm Syndrome, I would strongly advise against it. Ultimately, your enjoyment will depend on your tolerance for morally grey characters and disturbing content. I'd give it a cautious recommendation, acknowledging its flaws but also recognizing its potential appeal to a specific audience.
