Sold to the cursed Alpha. Bound by blood magic. Falling for the enemy.
Seraphina Thorne never imagined her own coven would betray her-until they chain her wrists and deliver her to the Blood Alpha as payment for a desperate alliance. Kael Bloodstone, the werewolf king whose forbidden ritual cursed his entire pack, needs a witch of her bloodline to break the death magic slowly destroying his people. She has thirty days to save them. If she refuses, they both die.
Sera should hate him. Werewolves killed her parents. This forced marriage is a prison, and Kael is her captor. But when shadow creatures attack and ancient curses demand sacrifice, she discovers the brutal Alpha isn't the monster she expected. He's guilt-ridden, honorable, and the bond tying their souls together makes his emotions bleed into hers-including the fierce protectiveness that makes her question everything.
As magic intertwines their fates and passion ignites between enemies, Sera faces an impossible choice: break the curse and lose herself to a man she should despise, or let an entire pack die to preserve her freedom. But the ritual hiding in Kael's past demands more than alliance. It demands love. Real, willing, soul-deep love.
And if she can't give it freely by the Lunar Eclipse, the bond will kill them both.
A standalone paranormal romance featuring enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, fated mates, blood magic, and a possessive Alpha wolf who'll burn the world to protect his witch.
