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?


Earlier tonight, the moment I spotted Tiara approaching Seraphine, every instinct in my body went on high alert. That calculated look in her eyes spelled trouble. Tiara had been circling like a vulture, waiting for the perfect moment to corner Seraphine when she was vulnerable and defenseless. The woman was a textbook case of bitter rejection, her jealousy toward Seraphine practically radiating off her in toxic waves. She desperately wanted to trade places with my Luna, and it showed in every venomous glance she threw our way.
