The Beast Must Die Novel

I was the world’s last mermaid. At birth, I was granted three wishes by God. I used the first when my boyfriend, Alex Zane, was dying. I offered up the child in my womb and my fertility in exchange for him to live a long and healthy life, untouched by illness or disaster. I used the second when the Zane family was going bankrupt. I offered up all my power and wished for their fortune to be restored and for their future to be secured. When he came to me for the final wish, his childhood sweetheart, Valentina Wilson, was dying in childbirth. After I turned him down, he threw me into a men’s prison. “A dollar a turn. Do whatever you want with her. She can’t get pregnant anyway.” That night, I wept until my voice broke. At dawn, when the light finally crept in, I offered up my life to activate the sacred token and made my final wish. “I wish for all who betrayed me to watch their world burn. Let them lose everything and die a painful, miserable death!”

Damien und seine ehemalige Frau hatten sich vor fünf Jahren getrennt — ich heiratete ihn später. Als wir heiraten wollten, hatte er bereits eine dreizehnjährige Adoptivtochter namens Lily. Nach unserer Ehe zeigte Damien mir große Zuneigung, während ich Lily stets wie meine eigene Tochter behandelte. Auch wenn sie mir ab und zu Feindseligkeit entgegenbrachte, schenkte ich ihr keine Beachtung. Solches Verhalten ist für ein junges Mädchen verständlich. Als mein Vater versehentlich von einem Auto getroffen und im Wachkoma blieb, hörte ich zufällig ein Gespräch zwischen Damien und seinem Assistenten mit. „Chef, ich verstehe es nicht — warum blockiert du die Schädeloperation?“, fragte der Assistent verwirrt, „Die Ärzte gehen davon aus, dass er sich erholen kann. Warum hältst du dich an eine konservativ Behandlung fest?“ „Er darf nicht aufwachen“, sagte Damiens mit gedämpfter Stimme. „Er hat Lilys Gesicht gesehen.“ Ich presste meine Hand fest über den Mund, sodass die Fingernägel tief in mein Fleisch drangen. Lily war die Adoptivtochter von Damien und seiner verstorbenen ehemaligen Frau Sarah. Sarah starb, als sie Damien rettete — aus diesem Grund zeigte er Lily stets eine Mischung aus Schuldgefühl und völliger Nachsicht. Damien fuhr fort, seine Stimme klang unendlich wirr und zerrissen. „Aber Lily hat es nicht absichtlich getan! Sie ist erst 13 Jahre alt — einen Eintrag im Strafregister würde ihr Leben ruinieren. Sarahs letzter Wunsch war, dass ich Lily betreute und sie gesund und unversehrt erwachsen ließ. Ich kann sie nicht allein lassen.“ Der Assistent schwieg einige Sekunden. „Was passiert mit deiner Frau?“ „Ich werde ihr alles entschädigen“, sagte Damien mit sanfterer Stimme. „Ich schenke ihr ein wohlhabendes Leben und sichere für ihren Vater — der bei dem Unfall verletzt wurde — das größte Private zimmer sowie die besten Pfleger. Die Kosten spielen für mich keine Rolle.“ Mein Herz sank tief. Weil du dich Sarah und Lily schuldig fühlst, opferst du meinen Vater? Mit zitternden Händen sicherte ich die Aufzeichnung und bat meinen Anwalt, die Scheidungsvereinbarung vorzubereiten. Als ich schließlich spurlos verschwand, verlor der einst mächtige Geschäftsführer die Fassung.

Seven years ago, I turned my back on my powerless fated mate, Soren, and chose a powerful Alpha instead. Now, I’m dying alone in this shitty apartment with seven days to live. The Moon's Glow is fading inside me. Without the Final Rite, my soul will be chained to this earth, a ghost doomed to an eternity of torment. And no Alpha will perform it for me. Coughing up another mouthful of blood, I dialed the one number I swore I’d never touch again. Soren. The mate I rejected. Now, the most powerful Alpha in the North. I begged him for the Final Rite. Moments later, his engine screamed down my street. But the boy I once knew was gone. The man staring back at me now held nothing but pure, undiluted hatred in his eyes. "Well, well. Look what we have here," he sneered, his voice dripping with venom. "The fallen princess. When are you going to finally drop dead? The second your heart stops, I’m dumping your corpse in the Feral Lands for the scavengers."

She is the only treasure he wants to possess, and he is the forbidden fruit she must resist.

Elara never imagined her quiet life as a wolfless handmaid would end in public humiliation and banishment. Traded by fate and framed by the golden princess who stole her identity at age twelve, Elara is rejected by the ruthless Alpha King Darius Thornwood in front of the entire realm. When Darius secretly offers her the position of hidden mistress and she refuses, Liora Kane frames her for poisoning and forces a “merciful” banishment only to send rogues to finish the job. In the blood-soaked Shadow Wilds, the legendary Cursed Lycan King, a feral beast chained by a thousand-year curse slaughters the rogues and claims Elara as his second-chance mate. Her suppressed hybrid powers awaken, revealing her as the last White Witch-Werewolf, the only being capable of breaking his curse. Now living in the Lycan King’s forbidden palace, Elara must prove she is far from weak while two kings wage war for her heart: one who discarded her and now hunts her with obsessive regret, and one who fights his own beast to court the woman who calms his curse. As ancient blood-witch wars erupt and Liora’s deadly secret threatens to destroy everything, Elara must choose, destroy the Alpha who broke her, or rule eternity beside the cursed beast who was always meant to be hers. Banished by the Alpha King: Claimed by the Cursed Lycan Beast is a fast-paced, steamy paranormal romance of rejected mates, hidden identities, explosive power awakenings, and a love strong enough to shatter curses and kingdoms.
