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?


I pressed my back against the door, breathing in her lingering scent until it filled every corner of my lungs. She was everything I craved, everything I needed. The plan was already forming in my mind, each piece falling into place with deadly precision. Grant had to fall. But this required surgical precision, not brute force. I would need my father's resources, Alpha Theodore's connections that ran deeper than most realized.


One week until the next Luna trial. Seven days to orchestrate chaos while maintaining perfect silence.


The pack territory stretched below my office window, lights twinkling like stars against the darkness. I studied the scattered files documenting Grant's criminal empire, each page revealing another tentacle of corruption reaching into the human underworld. The mafia boss had built his fortune on blood money, washing millions through his casino operations. Tonight, I would begin dismantling his house of cards.
