Rejected by her mate and discarded by her pack, Seraphine thought she’d hit rock bottom. She was wrong. Now, she’s been traded as a breeder to the ruthless Alpha of the Mistwood pack, Theodore Zain—a man whose legendary curse kills every bride he takes.

Theodore needed an heir, not another bride destined to die. But the omega forced on him is disarmingly innocent and maddeningly resilient. He’s a man resigned to his cursed fate, she’s a woman with nothing left to lose, and their forced union is a powder keg waiting to ignite.

Theodore makes the terms clear: this is a contract, not a romance. She will provide an heir and stay out of his heart. He’s built walls of ice to survive the curse, and he warns her to do the same.

But as her quiet defiance chips away at his control, a possessiveness he never anticipated awakens a desire that could be her death sentence. Will her light be enough to defy a centuries-old curse, or will she simply become its next victim?


The moment I stepped outside the cave entrance, raw power coursed through my veins. My pack had answered Kayne's call beyond my wildest expectations. Five hundred wolves surrounded the High Council grounds like a living wall of loyalty and fury. Their scents mingled in the air, creating an intoxicating blend of strength and devotion that made my chest tighten with emotion.


This wasn't just about me anymore. They had come for their Luna, a title that hadn't graced our pack in generations. Elder Gina stood among them, her weathered face set with determination. Even our Shaman had abandoned his sacred duties to be here. The sight of their unwavering support nearly brought me to my knees.


I opened the mind link, my voice cutting through their mental chatter like a blade. Stay silent. No attacks unless I give the signal. We do this smart, not reckless.
