The Winner's Curse Book Novels & Stories

“I’m fine. Just tired. Have my supper sent to my room.” I head upstairs but end up in the library instead. There has to be something — some record, some myth. I’ve never heard of brothers sharing a mate. Hours pass in a blur of pages and dust. My frustration grows heavier, dulled only by the bottle I found tucked behind an old grimoire. The burn in my throat does nothing to quiet her presence in my head. Her face flashes again. I slam the final book shut. Fuck. There’s a soft knock on my door. I take a small whiff of the air. I pick up Amber's scent.

It's just a freebie that came with mine. You're only fit for my hand-me-downs!" I glanced down at my bracelet. It was a birthday gift from Ethan a few months ago, and I had always treasured it even though it was not expensive.

I muttered out loud to myself, oblivious of my humming pendant. I felt my eyes become teary and my throat dry but I couldn't stop now. This is the only chance I will ever have to pour out my heart “While others found their mates and got their wolf gifts, I felt left out and like something was wrong with me. I never got to hunt with the pack, run in the forest, or experience transformation. All I could do was watch from the sidelines as everyone else figured things out. I started to believe that I was cursed and decided to give up hope of ever connecting with my wolf, finding my mate or falling in love. The incident with my brother only reinforced my decision to give up. I thought there was n

How to pick locks with hairpins, how to walk without making noise. Click, the door opened. Inside were shelves full of books, hundreds of them, all thick and old and covered in dust. I looked for anything about bloodlines, about wolves, about marks like mine. One book caught my eye. "The Lost Wolves of Valdris."

At least, not until it was necessary to do so, which was never going to be the case because I was not going to allow it. One of the villains remarked, "Well look what we have here, the royal family is back together!" My father confronted me with this question, "Michael, what are you trying to accomplish with my family?" The fact that the white wolf had been assigned to be my betrothed prompted me to pose the following question: "Well." "What is he talking about, Lucifer?" Michael questioned. "Who are you, anyway?"

I couldn't help but stare at her. "Shut up already," I said, and Sarreth came to a halt, her hands raised. Sarreth and I went straight home after purchasing the laptop and began studying immediately.

"No one actually knows who wrote this. Ancient people discovered the book with the last page missing. It was torn apart." So what was the point of sharing it with us if the ending was missing? "Maybe because their love story doesn't have an end yet." Claire shrugged. "Maybe it is still not written because the continuation is just about to happen. The exciting part is yet to begin."
