MasukFor twenty years, Nyx Jackson was the perfect Luna. She sold her parents’ home to save her husband and his struggling pack. Endured miscarriages, failed fertility treatments, and years of heartbreak—all for the man she loved. Then she finally became pregnant. Only to discover the child she carried wasn’t her husband’s. Before she could reveal the truth, Nyx caught her husband in bed with her maid. He divorced her, replaced her with his pregnant mistress, and cast her out with nothing. Determined to move on, Nyx tracks down the biological father of her unborn child. The problem? He’s Crux Matteo. The most feared Alpha in the werewolf world. A cutthroat billionaire in the human world. A man cursed to die before his thirtieth birthday. What begins as a cruel mistake soon becomes something neither of them can escape. Because Nyx’s presence calms the monster inside him. And the child she carries may be the key to breaking a centuries-old curse. A cursed Alpha. A broken Luna. A child born from fate’s cruelest mistake. And a love that was never supposed to exist.

My fingers had pressed against so many orders that it was starting to feel numb, still I wasn't ready to stop. I could feel Rhea's judgmental eyes on me. She would at times pause to check if I was handling the dishes alright or if I was about to clock out of being a normal person. I had moved to get another set of orders ready when I felt something sharp move through my lower abdomen, I held on discreetly to the counter, acting like I was checking on something when someone gripped my shoulder.“Hey…” It was Rhea. She had worry written all over her face and it was terrifying to see that my strong facade didn't have a lasting effect on her. “Are you okay? You don't have to answer that because I know you're not. Come this way.” She directed me to the back of the kitchen and made me sit down.“Rhea, I'm totally fine. It's just a—” Another sharp pain moved again and this time, it had me compl
Crux’s POVI could feel the back of my throat itching furiously. I needed something to die down the thirst that surged through me.As blood dripped to the floor of my office, Aethros was already pressing against my chest. The need was burning fast, and I needed to quench it.“Still taking deep breaths to convince yourself that it will go away?” Aethros growled. His movements were demeaning, and I couldn’t find a way to get him to stop. “You need to feed. Feed on something.” He sang in my ear like a song.It was so urgent. I was starting to wonder how I was going to get my hunger to die down, but the only way I could think of was the one Aethros told me, and that was me feeding.I reached for my phone and called Reyes, requesting his immediate company. Reyes didn’t waste any time; he was already in the office seconds after I had called him.“You asked…” His voice trailed off when he noticed the blood that had pooled on the floor. Dread shimmered through his eyes. “Do I need to make the
CruxThe paper of the folder felt rough beneath my fingers as I flipped to the next page.It was the fifth time I had read through it tonight. The file was thin, filled with medical reports, blood work results, and routine notes from the clinic.Normal blood pressure, low iron levels and vitamin recommendations. Somehow, I had memorized all of it.Yet I could not close it.“Call Reyes,” Aethros growled from the dark corners of my mind, his clawed paws pacing back and forth across my subconscious. “He is taking too long. Demand the full report. We need to know where she is right now.”“Shut up, Aethros,” I muttered under my breath, staring down at the small clinic intake photograph clipped inside the folder.Nyx Jackson stared back at me, her expression serious, almost irritated with whoever had taken the picture. I had looked at that photograph five times tonight, and I had no idea why.“She is out there unprotected,” Aethros snarled, his voice rising in volume until my ears rang. “Th
Nyx’s POV I froze, my breath catching in my throat. I remembered this feeling. I remembered it from fifteen years ago, and from every failed attempt after that. The sudden spill of warmth and wetness before the cramping started. The physical proof that my body had failed again. “Nyx?” Rhea asked, noticing the way I had gone still. “What is it?” “I’m bleeding,” I whispered, tears spilling over my eyelashes and mixing with the rain on my face. “Rhea, I’m bleeding. I’m losing it.” Fifteen years of losses rushed back into my mind like a wave of ice water. The doctors’ pitying looks. Adrien’s disappointment turning into resentment. The endless IVF treatments, the loans, the quiet crying in the bathroom so no one would hear me. I couldn’t lose this baby. I couldn’t go through that agony again. “Listen to me,” Rhea said, reaching out to grab my wrist with a weak grip. “You are not losing this baby. Do you hear me?” “I feel it, Rhea,” I said, my voice cracking. “I feel the wetness. It
