Diana457

"An eye for an eye," I told myself every night as I dreamed of his death. He was the monster who had ruined my life, the devil in every nightmare.
But now, he stands before me, alive, no longer cursed, and all I can feel is the heat of his gaze, stripping me bare. I wanted to end him... but now, it feels like he's already ended me.”

In the Kingdom of Rivera,  Kaden, the ruthless crowned alpha Prince, lay cursed in eternal slumber. Lily, a servant girl with a hidden past, arrived on a mission of vengeance, seeking to kill the monster who slaughtered her family and destroyed her colony. But when she touched him, the curse was broken. Instead of death, Kaden offered her a shocking proposal: become his mate and bear his heirs. Now, Lily is bound to her enemy, torn between the desire that burns within her and the revenge that fuels her soul. Will she succumb to the darkness that haunts them both, or will her thirst for vengeance consume him... and herself?

The Cursed Prince’s Bride

Lily let out a sigh as she reached the servant quarters. Her eyes lingered on the full moon, and a faint smile crept onto her lips. She knew she had managed to rattle him, to make him angry and uncertain about what he felt. Men in her colony were like that—seemingly tough, yet inside, they were like yarn waiting to unravel. The Prince was no different.

If she drove a dagger into his chest, it would have been too easy. Too quick. Revenge, in her mind, now demanded patience and a lasting sting. What satisfaction could a single stab bring compared to the agony of shattering his ambitions? Taking away his chance to become heir—that was true vengeance.

She would much rather see Aros as the heir, even if he was, according to whispers among the servants, only human. A glaring difference, but with the curse that plagued the Prince, perhaps the gap wasn't so vast anymore.
