Noleen’s life was marked by tragedy from the start. Killed by Maria's mother responsible for his parents’ deaths, he grew up in the shadow of Maria's mother’s violent legacy. When her mother’s actions triggered a curse upon the kingdom, leaving all women barren, it became clear that Maria alone could lift it. However, this would come at a steep price: she would need to sacrifice her first male child to the Moon Goddess.
There’s only one issue—his mate, as Alpha, is the very man who despises her. He mistreated Maria, humiliated her by choosing another as his Luna, and left her heart in ruins.
The Moon Goddess intervenes, revealing Maria as the Alpha’s true mate, forcing him to confront his wrongs. But Maria escapes before he can make amends, determined to rebuild her life far from the kingdom. She finds peace working as a bartender in a remote town, finally feeling free—until the Alpha finds her once more.
One night, he appears in her club, his presence as overwhelming as ever. Maria’s world shatters when he kidnaps her, locking her back within his kingdom. This time, however, Maria is resolute; she won’t let the Alpha dictate her fate. Fueled by revenge, she secretly plans to take an abortion pill, vowing never to give him an heir.
With only three months to break the curse, time is slipping away. The Alpha’s obsession with Maria deepens, but when he discovers her intentions, his fury is boundless. Yet, despite the pain and hatred between them, a deeper connection lingers, one that even he cannot deny.
As the final days loom, Maria must make a choice: will she sacrifice everything to save a kingdom that has only brought her suffering, or allow the curse to claim them all—including the Alpha?
