Everyone feared Alpha Nikolai Romanov. He ruled the Northern Territories with an iron fist, commanded the loyalty of powerful Alphas, and carried the blood of one of the oldest Lycan families in existence. But behind the Romanov name was a secret no outsider was ever meant to learn. Every woman marked by a Romanov Alpha died. Nikolai had watched the curse take his mother.

“I want a divorce.” The room stilled. “Excuse me?” His voice was silk wrapped around steel. “What did you just say?” “You heard me.” I said, getting up from the bed, holding the sheets tightly around my body as I walked towards the dresser.
