Not being able to speak makes her an outcast at this elite academy. However, during a fight training class, her outstanding performance catches the attention of the academy's most powerful alpha teacher. An attack against the academy unexpectedly awakens her rare healing abilities. Along with that, she didn't expect the alpha teacher to be her betrothed mate. Will she embrace this newfound connection while navigating her growing powers and the dangers that come with them? Amanda never spoke up during a fight, and so she was perceived as weak. When Amanda was born, a strange thing happened in the pack. They said there was a meteor shower, a natural occurrence, but not with their pack, who believed natural occurrences were a sign of something. Amanda was seen as a curse, so when she grew of age and could not speak, the rumor spread like wildfire. “She is cursed,” they said and whispered to one another. Growing up, she didn't know what that meant, just that many mothers didn't want her playing with their children. Amanda, the daughter of the pack’s beta, was mute and cursed... That was what they all said.

I hear my father's roar through the chaos, but my legs can't keep up. The limp slows me, the ground shakes beneath me, and the stench of decay claws at my throat.


The rogue Alpha smiles., "You're mine, little healer."


And in that moment, I know if he takes me, I'll never come back the same.
