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?


Something primitive awakened within me that day. My wolf turned savage the moment those judges approached Celina's nest. What possessed me to act so recklessly? The memory remained unclear, but one thing burned bright in my mind - watching Nathan lurk around her space like a predator.


The bastard dared to peer through her cabin window.


Blood stained my knuckles after I slammed into him, delivering blow after blow. Nobody possessed the right to invade Celina's sanctuary. My beast roared his territorial claim, drowning out all rational thought.


Pure instinct drove my actions. Feral fury consumed me as I glared at every unmated Alpha present, silently challenging anyone who questioned my authority.


Then I witnessed Celina trembling with terror.


My wolf whimpered pathetically. All he craved was soothing our frightened mate.
