She was dragged into his world to save it. He was furious she existed.

Thea Solara spent twenty-three years being nobody — the quiet girl from the group home, the waitress in a dead-end town, the woman with a bus ticket under her bed and plans to finally belong somewhere. Then she was kidnapped in the middle of the night, woke up on a stone slab surrounded by chanting figures, and a man with storm-gray eyes pulled her out of the dark.

She thought that was the worst of it.

It wasn't.

Kael Draven is the Alpha of the Silver Crescent Pack, a man who became a leader at sixteen over his father's body and has been carrying his people ever since. He loves someone else. He planned a future with someone else. And now the seers are telling him that the woman he just rescued from a sacrifice ritual is his fated mate — the only creature in existence who can break the curse threatening to destroy every wolf in Nyxhaven before the Moon Comet arrives.

He doesn't want a mate. He wants to be left alone.

She doesn't want a destiny. She wants to go home.

Neither of them gets what they want.

The curse has been bleeding Nyxhaven dry for generations. Every full moon, it rises like a fever — brothers turning on brothers, packs tearing themselves apart. And when the Moon Comet arrives, it will reach its peak, consuming every wolf alive. The only way to stop it is the blood of an ancient Shaman, wielded by a Daywolf — the impossible child of wolf and Shaman blood. A creature that should not exist.

A creature that is Thea.

She has three weeks to learn to shift. To survive a pack that doesn't fully trust her. To train for a battle she has no framework for. And to share a home — a bed, a bond — with a man who tells her, the morning after their mating, that their arrangement is exactly that. An arrangement.

Thea has been unwanted in better places than this.

She's not leaving.

But someone inside the pack is working against them. Someone who has been feeding information to the enemy, who wants Kael's title and will use the Moon Comet to take it. As the comet approaches and the Shamans sharpen their attack, the danger closing in is not only from outside the walls.

And the mate bond — that warm, relentless, deeply inconvenient pull between them — is becoming impossible to call biology.

*The Alpha's Cursed Mate* is a full-length paranormal romance novel featuring a brooding, duty-bound Alpha who builds walls for a living and a stubborn, sharp-tongued heroine who dismantles them without trying. It's a story of ancient magic, a pack on the edge of extinction, a hidden betrayal, and two people who were handed to each other by fate and chose each other anyway.

Expect: forced proximity, enemies to lovers, fated mates, a slow-burn heat that pays off completely, pack politics, action, and an HEA that is earned on every page.

If you love paranormal romance that takes its world seriously without forgetting that the love story is the point — this is your next read.
