Haunted Puppets の小説・ストーリー

The Broken Alpha with His Saving Grace Mate Alpha Damon James Blackwood was once a legend—fierce, untouchable, and born to lead. But betrayal shattered more than his pack… it shattered him. Haunted by loss and carrying the weight of a curse tied to his bloodline, Damon has become a ruthless, emotionally guarded ruler. His wolf is restless. His heart? Closed off completely. Until her. Gracelyn Victoria Monroe has spent her life being overlooked and underestimated. With crystal blue eyes and a heart too big for her own good, she never imagined she’d be fated to a man like Damon —the most feared Alpha in the territory. When fate binds them together, sparks fly… but so do tempers. Damon fights the mate bond, convinced he will only destroy the one woman who sees the good still buried inside him. But Gracelyn isn’t afraid of his darkness. As enemies close in and secrets from Damon’s past resurface, Gracelyn becomes both his greatest weakness and his only strength. To protect her, he’ll have to face the demons he’s been running from—and decide if he’s willing to risk everything for a second chance at love. Because sometimes the most broken Alpha doesn’t need saving… He just needs his mate.

Now, caught between the mate bond she can’t escape and the tempting darkness of a new love, Selene must decide—does she destroy the mate who shattered her, or does she reclaim her destiny and rise as the most powerful Luna the werewolf world has ever seen?
