LOGINRiley’s life shatters the moment she meets her mate. Instead of accepting her, he rejects her at first sight and, in the same breath, proposes to her stepsister. For Riley, the pain cuts deeper because this is not the first thing she has lost to her sister. All her life, Riley has sacrificed her happiness, her opportunities, and everything precious just to keep the peace in her family. But she never imagined she would be asked to give up her mate too. When her stepsister finally offers to give something back, it comes at a terrible price. Riley is asked to take her place in an ancient ritual that has thrown every young maiden in the city into fear, a single night with the Beast. The Beast is a five-hundred-year-old monster who only emerges in the dead of night. Cursed and bound by dark magic, he is slowly dying and can only be saved by the blood of a breeder. The problem is simple and terrifying: breeders were believed to have gone extinct many years ago. With no way to escape her fate, Riley is sent to the Beast, how do she escape when the beast is obsessed with her?

The sharp pain made my entire body stiffen, and before I could even catch my breath, he sank his fangs deeper into my skin.“Ahh!” I screamed, my hands instinctively grabbing his arm as I struggled against him.The pain was unbearable. I could feel his fangs piercing my flesh, and tears immediately gathered in my eyes. I tried to push him away, but my strength was nothing compared to his. He held me firmly against him, completely ignoring my desperate attempts to free myself.Just when I thought I couldn't bear the pain any longer, something strange happened. A few flashes suddenly appeared in my mind.I saw myself with him. Our bodies were gliding against each other in a way that made my cheeks burn, and in another flash, I saw him bathing me. The images came so suddenly that I couldn't even process what I was seeing. They felt so real, almost as though I were remembering something that had actually happened rather than imagin
Riley“Who are you?” he snarled, his voice threatening. His body pinned me firmly against the bed, leaving me with barely enough room to move. His face was only inches away from mine, and the anger burning in his eyes sent a wave of terror through me.Before I could even think of what to do, I squeezed my eyes shut, my heart pounding so violently against my chest that I could practically hear it in my ears.For a dying man, he was unbelievably fast.“Open your eyes and answer me!” he barked. His harsh command made me flinch. My eyes flew open immediately, and I found myself staring directly into his furious gaze. “Did Scott send you here to kill me?” he demanded.I stared at him in confusion, struggling to understand what he was talking about.“N-no,” I stammered, shaking my head as much as his grip would allow. “I... I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't come
Riley Talia smiled at him, and almost immediately, a flicker of recognition crossed his face. His lips parted, and he struggled to speak, his expression contorting with the effort. Yet, no words emerged from his mouth. All that escaped him were a series of low, strained grunts, frustratingly inadequate for whatever it was he wanted to say.Talia seemed undeterred by his inability to speak. She bent over him, gently running her fingers through his hair before leaning closer to whisper something in his ear. I watched in silence as she showered him with an affection that seemed almost instinctive, her movements tender and familiar. With every gentle touch, an inexplicable irritation began to stir inside me. I found myself wishing I could reach over, pull her away from him, and put some distance between them. The thought came so suddenly that it caught me off guard.Why was I feeling this way?I had no reasonable explanation for the strange possessiveness taking root in my chest. To the
Riley He is going to die within a matter of days?” I asked, my voice filled with disbelief.The man nodded grimly, confirming my worst fear.“His wolf is growing weaker because of the injury. What you need to understand is that the damage isn't affecting his physical body alone; it's attacking his wolf, his very core. If he were an ordinary wolf, he would have succumbed to the injury by now. That is how powerful the curse is,” he explained.I stared at him, struggling to comprehend the severity of the king's condition. I had never imagined that an injury could be so dangerous that it would attack something beyond the physical body. Before I could ask any further questions, the king suddenly opened his eyes. I turned towards the bed, startled by the unexpected movement. His eyes were open, but there was something unsettling about the way he stared ahead. It was as though he could neither see nor recognize the people standing before him. His face was contorted with pain, and the suffe
