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?


Kayne stared at me with disbelief written across his face. "What are you talking about, Alpha Theodore?" His voice carried a growing edge of fury.


My throat felt like sandpaper as I tried to form the words. "This curse that hangs over us-" The words caught in my chest. I forced myself to continue. "If it takes Seraphine from me, I won't survive it."


"Stop talking like that!" Kayne's hands clenched into fists at his sides. "Nobody is dying today. The curse has weakened considerably, and I have faith that we'll get through this."
