LOGINWhen Ayla is dragged from her school into the heart of a strange wolf territory, she expects torture—or death. Instead, she meets Alpha Kael: a man as dangerous as he is breathtaking, and a secret buried beneath his skin. His blood awakened an ancient orb—and in one night, Kael became the vessel of a living curse. Now the orb stirs again, its power latching onto Ayla. The mark she wears, her mother’s ring, links her to the prophecy whispered by the Moon goddess messenger: “When the moon bleeds and the cursed wolf kneels, love shall either heal the wound… or end the world.” As darkness spreads through the pack and the curse consumes Kael’s soul, Ayla must decide whether to save him—or destroy him before the prophecy destroys them both. But fate has a cruel sense of humor… Because to break the curse, the moon goddess demands the one thing neither of them is willing to give up. Their hearts.
View MoreKael’s POV “Wait here.” I tell Ayla before grabbing a shirt and throwing it on; covering the residual faint dark veins on my skin. I twisted the door knob and slid the door open. Right outside, stood Elder Moren. His hands were tucked behind his back, with his walking stick tapping rhythmically behind him. He perched his face up, scanning my face before slightly bowing. I greeted him back.“To what do I owe this visit?” I asked him, leaning against the doorway. “You haven’t been seen outside since the Wolf fangs’s ambush.” He cleared his throat. “I needed to confirm you were alright.”“Thank you, Elder Moren. I’m well, just needed time to rest and heal. I believe we all know how Caleb was to me.”He nodded, “hm I see.” “If that’s all…” I started, “Alpha.” I knew it. Moren rarely left his quarters unless something was seriously wrong. Something the elders had gathered to discuss and judge on their own.His eyes shifted past my shoulder, catching sight of Ayla behind me. His expr
Ayla’s POV In a brief second, the warmth in the air was gone.Riian’s smile had completely vanished. His eyes hardened as he tilted his chin slightly, sniffing the air. I dropped my hand to the dagger at my waist, my senses snapping into high alert.“Anything?” I asked, whispering.“Nothing. There's no scent at all. It's masked."We stood frozen in the woods. listening back to back. The wind rustled through the canopy. A distant bird called out. Seconds ticked by, stretching into a minute of silence.But nothing moved. No further sound echoed.Eventually, Riian let out a slow, cautious breath, easing out of his stance, though his hand remained near his hip."Could have been a deer," he said, though his voice lacked conviction. "Yeah," I murmured quietly, letting my hand fall away from my blade. "Maybe.""Let's get these herbs back," Riian said, slinging his bag tighter against his chest. "Before Kiara decides to come look for us herself."“You’re right.” I pointed. After gathering
Ayla’s POV A week had passed since Wolf Fang's attack and Caleb’s death. Things were much better every new day. The Pack could finally breathe.The injured warriors no longer had their bandages on, their wolves were healed now. The pack house hummed once more with the nice sounds of daily life—breakfast plates, laughter, and the bustling rhythm of a territory no longer under immediate threat.Young pups were chasing each other around the wooden benches while the elders sat in the morning sun, discussing matters as usual. As I passed, I did a small bow but they hardly acknowledged me. But with Caleb gone, Kael’s curse hadn't settled down with him. If anything, it had grown more volatile.In the quiet hours of the night, I watched how it clawed its way to his surface. Sometimes it was a sudden, unexplained burst of aggression over a minor disturbance. Sometimes his claws would unsheathe involuntarily, slicing through the bedsheets before he could contain it. More than once, I caught t
Kael’s POV The blade came down but I pushed my head sideways, making him stick it into the dirt. Caleb lifted the blade from the ground but it was stuck, though my senses were completely overwhelmed, with the curse warping my vision and movement, I managed to jab him in his injured ribs, a sharp cry tore out of him as he scrambled away from me. I closed my eyes for a brief second, trying hard to control my body. I shouldn’t have. Searing pain radiated through my shoulder, I opened my eyes to find his silver dagger biting into my shoulder, and the smell of my own burning flesh filling the air. The fight was ugly. Feral. It went on for several more minutes.Agnar screamed at me to yield, to give up total control, to let the monster out to rip Caleb into pieces.If you give in now, a cold voice whispered in the back of my mind, you will not only kill him. But you will never come back. You will tear Ayla apart when you return also.Caleb lunged again, driving for my throat.I didn't un

Ayla’s POV “Come out now” He growled. My breath stutters as I try to come up with something, a lie or anything— but my mind blanks. I push the door open slowly, and come out of the closet, the air feels heavy and charged with his scent and rage. I glance at the exit, then back at him before a t
Ayla’s POV“I’m sorry… I-I shouldn’t be here.”I swivel on my heels, intending to flee, but a large hand clamps around my wrist, bringing me to a halt mid-step.Alpha Kael pulls me closer, my body slamming into his solid, rock-hard frame.Heat surges through me and my wolf purrs and stirs within me
Ayla’s POVKiara nods and I freeze, my stomach twisting into knots.It’s impossible. My father died a long time ago and my mother… she was just… she wasn’t… she couldn’t have been a Sayer. None of this… any of this… it doesn’t make sense.I press my palm against my temples, trying to steady the sto
