“I was raised to kill him… but the moment I smelled my mate, everything I knew about hate and revenge shattered.” Can destiny be rejected, or does it always demand a price?I was raised to hate Alpha Jayce. Because his pack murdered my parents and burned my village to the ground 5 years ago. So for years, I trained in silence, hidden among rogues, waiting for the day I could avenge my family's death. But on the night of my first shift, fate betrayed me, I scented my mate. And it was him. Alpha Jayce. The same man I swore to kill.Jayce is brutal, feared, and completely obsessed with me. But he’s also hiding something... something dark that his pack doesn’t know. Every time I try to run, he pulls me deeper into a web of secrets, lies, and forbidden desires. I was supposed to destroy him, but he’s unraveling me instead.Worse, there’s a prophecy, a girl born of fire and death, destined to either unite the packs or bring them to ruin. And I’m that girl.Now hunted by both my allies and his enemies, I must decide: reject my mate and save my soul, or accept the bond and risk everything. He calls me his salvation. I fear I’m his curse.
