“I won’t let anything touch you,” he whispered, voice low and rough. “Not fate. Not death. And if I have to fight both heaven and hell to keep you safe—then so be it.”

Ariel Virellis thought life had finally smiled on her when the mate bond tied her to Rhyder—the powerful Alpha of her pack. An omega like her? Blessed.

But blessings often come with battles.

To earn his love and the title of Luna, Ariel fought. She endured. She turned a blind eye to all the red flags waving in her face.

Then came the day she believed she'd finally earned her place at his side...

Rhyder’s long-lost ex returned. And with her, everything Ariel had bled for was taken away.

Betrayed and cast aside, she vowed never to open her heart again—especially not to an Alpha.

But fate had other plans.

Captured by the infamous Rogue Alpha Viktor, Ariel's heart betrays her. His touch ignites a wildfire in her veins, and his broken soul whispers promises no sane woman should trust.

What she doesn’t know is that Viktor is cursed. His days are numbered.

And every woman who’s ever loved him... died.

Could Ariel be his salvation?

Or will she become just another name in a long-forgotten grave?
