Life’s Spiced Up with Some Werewolf Reads
After giving everything to save and love Alpha Damon, Aria watches him publicly bond with the woman who abandoned him. Heartbroken, she accepts a political mating to the cursed Alpha Kael—a wolf trapped in beast form for three years—to repay an old debt. But as she leaves her past behind, long-buried secrets and fate begin to rewrite her destiny.
ARIA “Aria, you must accept the bond with that cursed Alpha Kael in place of my daughter. This is what you owe the Blackwood pack! You – “ “I will.” My reply made my foster mother, Luna Margaret, gasp in disbelief, hearing my words. Her weathered face went pale as if she was sick as…
It was far more valuable than the simple pendant my mother had left me. But it wasn’t what I wanted. Just like how I no longer wanted him. ARIA Damon knew better than anyone how desperately I had always loved him,my actions were a clear sign, he also knew how my omega wolf called to…
I smashed the frame against my cabin’s stone hearth and watched the glass scatter into pieces just like my shattered dreams. ARIA By the time I finished packing, dawn was breaking over Damon’s territory. I didn’t leave a note. Didn’t say goodbye to anyone except Tom, the kind guard who’d always slipped me extra meat…
Kael surged to his feet with a snarl that reverberated through the cavern. Nina immediately shifted her stance, putting herself partially in front of me. The wolf’s lips pulled back, revealing fangs that could easily tear through flesh and bone. But he didn’t attack. Instead, his wild gold eyes locked onto mine, and for just…
I frowned. “She didn’t mention anything to me about a journey.” “Well, you’ve been rather busy with your new mate,” Margaret said, and there was the slightest edge to her voice. “Aria probably didn’t want to bother you with pack business when you have more important concerns.” The words felt like a subtle reprimand, though…
Then I chose. I always chose. “I’m coming, Sera.” I drove back to Sera’s house, my wolf fighting me every mile, and I ignored the growing certainty that I’d just made the worst mistake of my life. Behind me, in the empty cabin, moonlight streamed through the window and illuminated the corner where a silver…
“Even though,” Nina confirmed. “You’re here, Aria. You came when we needed help. That’s what matters.” I wanted to believe her. But doubt still gnawed at me as we made our way back toward the pack house. I was settling into a life I wasn’t sure I deserved, preparing to bond with an Alpha I’d…
Eleven days until there was no going back. My phone sat dark and silent on my desk, and I tried to ignore the part of me that wondered what Damon would do when he realized I wasn’t coming home at all. DAMON Two weeks. Aria wouldn’t be back for two more weeks. I stared at…
And I was starting to realize there was a difference. Still, I was grateful for the help. Especially as my wolf grew more and more restless with each day that passed without word from Aria. One week turned into eight days, then nine, then ten. The blood moon was approaching – just four days away…
My wolf howled in my chest, a sound of pure anguish. “I need to go to the blacksmith,” I heard myself say. “Find me something to put these in. Carefully.” Jake stared at me like I’d lost my mind. “Alpha, your mate is coughing up blood. The healers need you there – “ “I need…
