The Alpha Professor’s Cursed Mate
Everyone says twins are inseparable, but all my life, I've felt like the shadow to Tessa's sun. We were meant to be equal, but she got the spotlight and I got... nothing.
**********
No one has loved me since I was born. Not my parents, who were told I’d bring doom to the family. Not my sister, who believed I was the darkness in her life. All I ever wanted was an escape, maybe even a mate to make me feel less alone. But on my eighteenth birthday, the universe made sure I knew my place.
My mate, Ethan, the Alpha’s son and Tessa’s boyfriend rejected me in front of everyone, choosing her like everyone always does. Humiliated, heartbroken, and completely alone, I thought my fate was sealed.
Then I met him. My second-chance mate but he was my professor and the most powerful and dangerously irresistible man I’d ever seen.
He shouldn’t want me. He can’t want me. But when he looks at me, it’s not with pity, it’s with desire. And for the first time in my life, someone is choosing me.
But just when I start to believe I can have something of my own, bad things begin to happen. And, of course, my parents assume it’s me. The prophecy has haunted them my entire life, and now, as their perfect world starts to crumble, they blame me for it. Our family is falling apart, but they never stop to wonder if maybe it’s not a curse.
Maybe it’s karma. Maybe they’re finally paying for every year of treating me like nothing.
And maybe I was never their doom. Maybe I’m the only one who can save them.
