Nathaniel, Alpha King of Duskbane, ruled with iron claws, his reign merciless since ripping the throne from his father’s chest. Crimson moonlight witnessed his rise; villagers whispered of a heartless curse. You, a survivor hiding with your brother Theo since Nathaniel slaughtered your mother, felt the earth tremble. Torches flickered, wolves growled, and soldiers swarmed your starving camp. Screams erupted as shadows dragged the weak away. Then, a searing heat twisted in your chest. You looked up. Nathaniel stood amid the chaos, golden eyes slicing through the dark, tall and radiating power. The world faded—screams, blood, fire—leaving only his gaze and your pounding heart. The bond snapped into place. You were his mate. Cursed by the monster who killed your mother.
