UNDER THE BLOOD MOON THE ALPHA'S CURSE

UNDER THE BLOOD MOON THE ALPHA'S CURSE

A blood moon curse. Three fated mates who forget her. And an Alpha who refuses to break. Ava Thorne has lost everything—her parents, her pack's trust, and two mates who walked away feeling nothing while she carried the agony alone. The curse demands she find a mate under every blood moon, only to watch them forget her like she never existed. When her childhood best friend Kale becomes the third, she tries to reject him before the pain begins. He refuses. Months later, the curse strikes, and he does the unforgivable: he bonds with her handmaid and casts Ava aside. Broken and desperate, she escapes to the human world for one night of forgetting. Instead, she finds Austin Hale—a businessman with storm-gray eyes and his own scars from betrayal. She never expects to see him again. But when a murderer frames Ava for a death she didn't commit and her own pack turns against her, she is forced to flee with nothing but her life. Rescued by Elias Thorne, a rival Alpha who offers her safety, Ava wakes from a coma to discover two impossible truths: she is a Lycan hybrid, and Elias is also her mate. Now hunted by the aunt who murdered her parents, hunted by the pack she once led, and caught between three men bound to her by fate, Ava must break the curse before it breaks her. She can survive as she always has—alone. Or embrace the wild, untamed power inside her and claim a love the prophecy says should not exist. In a world where loyalty is a weapon and betrayal wears a family face, falling for three men might be the only way to save them all.

Chapter: CHAPTER 7: MIDNIGHT RECKLESS
Ava POVThe room was dark when I woke up . The pounding in my head had reduced to a dull ache at my temples.The city lights seeped through the heavy blackout curtains,casting faint silver streaks on the bed. Nyra stirred lazily inside me, not raging or whining for once. Just… waiting. Curious. I let out a sigh of relief at least she isn't blocking me out.The man was still there seated on the armchair across the bed . Austin I think I remember him telling me his name earlier in the bathroom. It was not a dream .Towel slung dangerously low on his hips, water droplets still clinging to the sharp ridges of his abs and chest. His dark hair is messy, jaw shadowed with stubble, and shoulders broad enough to block out the world if he wanted. Handsome didn’t do him justice. He looked like trouble wrapped in safety, the kind of man who could break you and then hold every shattered piece together afterward.My mouth went dry just watching him breathe.I sit up with the sheets dropping to my

Chapter: CHAPTER 6: FEVER AND FIRE
Austin POVIt was probably room service. I shut off the shower, grabbed a towel, quickly dried off my body, and wrapped it low around my waist. Barefoot,I headed out to deal with whoever was at the door.I stopped dead in my tracks.There was a woman in my bed.She laid face-down on the bed, her arms flung wide, dark hair fanned across the white sheets like spilled ink. She looked… wrecked. Beautifully,heartbreakingly wrecked.I froze.The room smelled like her now, stronger than the faint trace I’d caught when I first walked in. I should have shouted, called for security and demanded she be removed from my room.Instead, I took a step closer.She was breathing, not unconscious.Thank God. Just… sunk deep somewhere far away.. her cheeks flushed.Even like this disheveled,she was the most striking thing I’d seen in months. Maybe ever.Before I could talk myself out of it, I reached out. “Hey,” I said in a low voice.“Wake up. You’re in the wrong room.”No response.I tried again,“Hey.

Chapter: CHAPTER 5: NUMB AND SOAKED
Austin POVI stayed outside,my back against the wall, until Jax’s truck pulled up. The orange Hermès boxes and the black Graff case were still inside where I’d dropped them like forgotten props from a life that no longer existed.When Jax’s headlights swept over me, I pushed myself up on my shaking legs, left everything behind, and walked to the truck I climbed into the passenger seat without a word. The door shut with a heavy thud.Jax glanced over at me then put the truck in drive without asking anything stupid.Ten minutes of silence with streetlights sliding across the windshield in slow streaks.He finally spoke in a low voice as if trying not to upset me. “You wanna crash at mine?”I nodded. That was all I had left in me.His apartment was dark when we walked in. He flicked on one lamp in the living room, the kind with the warm amber bulb that doesn't blind you. He goes to the fridge and comes back with a bear handing it to me. I took it but didn't open it. Instead I held th

Chapter: Chapter 4
AUSTIN POVMy heart sank into my stomach.I continue climbing up the stairs with heavy legs,The bedroom door was slightly ajar, soft golden light spilling into the hall from the bedside lamp.The scene that greets me breaks my heart into a thousand pieces. Lila.....my Lila.....straddling Marcus, completely naked. Skin flushed and glistening with sweat under the low bedside lamp. Her hair wild and tangled down her back. Her breasts rising and falling with each slow, deep roll of her hips. Head tipped slightly back, Marcus beneath her. His hands are clamped tight on her hips, his fingers digging into her flesh.Eyes half-shut in raw pleasure. They didn’t notice me right away.I stood frozen in the doorway, hand locked around the knob so hard my knuckles ached. The room smelled of them.....her vanilla-and-amber perfume, his familiar cedar cologne, sex heavy in the air. A half-empty bottle of the Cabernet I’d brought from Napa sat on the nightstand beside two wine glasses, one rim s

Chapter: CHAPTER 3: SHATTERED SURPRISE
Austin POV“…..I love you too, see you when I get back” I say before hanging up with a smile on my face but she doesn't know I'm surprising her by coming home early.The flight back felt endless, but I didn’t care. I’d cut the business trip short by two days just to surprise her. Two months until the wedding. Two months until Lila was mine forever.I’d spent the week in Paris and London making sure everything was perfect.My First stop The Graff on Place Vendôme. The private salon had been closed just for me. The saleswoman is an elegant, silver-haired woman , with a soft French accent. She presented the black velvet tray to me with utmost care.“Mr. Hale, she will never take this off,” she murmured, lifting the necklace.A cascade of flawless white diamonds formed the chain, framing a breathtaking pear-shaped emerald at the center; it has a. deep, vivid green color chosen to match Lila’s eyes exactly. The emerald glowed, it's surrounded by a halo of pavé diamonds. Engraved on the h

Chapter: CHAPTER 2: ESCAPE IN THE DARK
Ava POVI lie curled on my side in the massive bed that still smells faintly of Kale. Every time I take a breathe it reminds me of him.I haven’t moved since Aunt Mara left hours ago after trying to make me talk and it yielded no results.She brings me chicken soup but the tray sits on my dresser untouched and cold now.My phone buzzes somewhere under the covers. I don’t look. It's Theo, probably. Or one of the elders. Or worse—someone asking if I’m okay.I’m not okay.The sun sets, plunging the room into darkness. When I finally sit up, the clock on the nightstand glows 10:47 p.m.My head is pounding and my mouth tastes like ash.Nyra is still silent, tucked so far away she might as well be gone.I can’t stay here.This bed. This room. This entire wing of the house where he used to pull me under the covers and whisper stupid jokes against my neck until I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe. Every inch of it now feels poisoned.I get off the bed open my closet and grab the nearest thin
