Internal
For years, Orlena was known as the Cursed Luna.
She was blamed for the day her mate, Alpha Xavren, lost his wolf, even though she was the one who had risked everything to save his life. She carried his secret, endured the pack’s hatred, and stayed by his side because he promised that one day he would tell everyone the truth.
But when Xavren finally regains his wolf, Orlena believes her suffering is finally over.
Instead, he stands before the entire pack and announces another woman as his Luna.
Then he calls Orlena cursed and orders her out.
Heartbroken and with nowhere to go, Orlena returns to the forest where her life once changed forever. There, she finds another injured Alpha and saves his life, only to discover that he is Drayven, the powerful Alpha of a pack far greater than the one she left behind.
Drayven should have been nothing more than a stranger she saved.
But he has questions about the mysterious mark on her body, questions that even Orlena cannot answer.
And when Orlena decides to stay in his territory, she never expects Drayven to place a marriage contract in front of her.
A marriage to him could give her protection, a new life, and a chance to become stronger.
But Drayven has his own reasons for choosing her.
He doesn’t love her.
He barely knows her.
And the more he discovers about the woman everyone called cursed, the more he realizes that Orlena may be hiding a truth powerful enough to change everything.
Xavren thought he had thrown away a cursed woman.
He has no idea what he has truly lost.
