Cursed to wear disdain until a woman willingly approaches him, Alpha Axton of the feared Pack of Whispers rules with an iron fist. His ruthless reputation precedes him—a name whispered in terror, a shadow of blood and conquest. When he decimates a witch-infested village across the moon's edge, the Pack's head witch seals his fate with a dark curse. No one will ever come to him willingly. No one will ever break his curse. Then an innocent girl emerges from isolation and changes everything. "I want to help you escape your destiny. That king will never find you while I breathe." "Fall in love with me, and I'll unveil every beautiful secret life has hidden." As their worlds collide, the Alpha discovers his destined mate in the most unexpected place—a naive girl who sees past his fearsome exterior. In a realm of shifters, paranormal magic, and supernatural bonds, their connection defies the curse itself. But can love conquer the darkness that binds him, or will fate demand a price neither can afford to pay?
